The starters

Airgle AG800 is not your typical air purifier. It has aluminum housing engineered with 100% pressure-sealed technology that guarantees no off-gassing. Each unit is rigorously checked by Airgle to ensure the air purifier received the utmost quality assurance treatment. Quality aside, Airgle AG800 is rather heavy despite not having a very bulky body. At a moderate 18 x 25 x 17.7 in (45.7 x 63.5 x 45 cm) size, weight is exceedingly over 53 lb (24 kg) where you would have to rely on the built-in casters to move the air purifier around. Specification wise, Airgle AG800 comes with everything you would expect from a premium purifier including 3-stage filtration, 5 fan speed controllable via dial knob, dedicated Auto/ Sleep mode, variable timer, IR and filter reset button, control system setting (for advanced user), LCD display that shows air quality and filter usage in status bar form, remote control (Power, Mode, Speed, Timer), ultra-quiet motor technology, auto safety shut off and 5 years manufacturer warranty. Last but not least, Airgle AG800 is also ozone-free/ AHAM/ CARB/ ENERGY STAR certified and ETL Listed.

What’s inside count

^ Airgle AG800 filters/ technologies/ lifespan

Unlike AG900, Airgle AG800 comes only with 3-stage filtration bar the Titanium Pro system. For start, air are drawn to the rear grill where the aluminium Pre-filter would gather dust and hair. With large particles out of the way, the 3 lbs enhanced special blend carbon would target smoke, chemicals and odors from cigarette, pets and cleaning products. Finally any non-smoke form allergens such as germs, viruses and bacteria would be capture by the undisputed 50 sq ft HEPAfast Filter, resulting clean air distribution via the front grill at a 40% more effective rate than standard HEPA air purifier.

Keep it down

At 33 - 67 dBA noise level, Airgle AG800 no where near silent in spite of the pressured sealed housing and ultra-quiet motor. Not great as a bedside air purifier but doable in bedroom as you can place the air purifier further due to the wide purifying coverage. 34 - 186 W Power consumption is also on the higher side to accommodate the high airflow delivery output. For maximum energy-efficiency, always activate the air purifier in Auto mode and leave it on standby when not in use.

At what cost

Park just below Airgle AG900, Airgle AG800 is cheaper but still way beyond the reach of most people. The biggest setback would probably be the annual filter replacement, as the maintenance cost is very high like all Airgle air purifier. For people that is currently hunting for a reliable and powerful air purifier, always study through the annual filter cost first as air purifier will be in for a long run.
