As the name suggested, The IQAir HealthPro Compact air purifier is the scaled-down version of the IQAir HealthPro series. Even though it is smaller (shorter to be exact) in size, the new edition uses the very same materials and technology as its bigger brother and will pump out identical figures in terms of airflow, noise level and coverage area. Besides the obvious carbon/ odor filter missing from the list below, let’s find out what else is missing from IQair HealthPro Compact air purifier.

^ IQAir HealthPro Compact filters/ technologies/ lifespan
Slight inferior to what Healthpro Plus version provides, IQAir HealthPro Compact 3-stage filtration is still highly capable of handling household pollutants. The multi-functional PreMax Filter F8 pre-filter not only capture large particles such as dust or fur, it also capture HEPA bound micro-sized particles e.g. mold, spores, pet dander, mold. Any allergens and ultrafine particles that manage to bypass the pre-filter would now be capture and eradicate by the HyperHEPA filter as small as 0.003 microns size; 100 times smaller than most HEPA air purifier could. Last but not least, IQAir HealthPro Compact can help reduce ozone level in your room.IQAir HealthPro Compact is covered against

More on IQAir HealthPro Compact air purifier
Designed and assembled from Switzerland, IQAir HealthPro® Compact air cleaner is constructed with the same leading technology as the IQAir HealthPro/ HealthPro Plus series. At size 38 x 61 x 41 cm with the weight of 12 kg, it is definitely smaller and lighter compared with the original HealthPro series but fall short to the average “compact” sized air purifiers. However, unlike many air purifiers that is made of inferior plastics/ metals that could scratch and dents easily in the cover, IQAir HealthPro Compact is superiorly built with finest components such as impact resistant ABS materials and 4 casters instead of 2. With its unique triple seal design and solid structuring, all units coming out of the factory are certified by the QC engineer to be ozone, UV, chemical and leakage free.
Applicable area, airflow, noise level and power input
At maximum settings, the coverage area for IQAir HealthPro Compact is equivalent to IQAir air purifier at 115 m2 (1238 ft2). With the bottom dual arches air intake, you could easily select one of the desirable 6 fanspeed airflow level. Noise level is a huge improvement from its previous predecessor thanks to the unique housing design and noise absorber. Although the noise is still audible at fan speed 3 and above (between 44 – 59 dB), you can actually reduce the fan speed during night time with its built-in timer. Lastly, power input is rather high due to its powerful airflow . The good thing is with its powerful airflow rate and filtration, there is no need to run the unit at 24x7; again you could use the timer to switch off the unit.Final thoughts on IQair HealthPro Compact
To recap, IQAir HealthPro Compact air purifier is a replica IQAir HealthPro air cleaner in terms of quality and performance minus of the carbon odor filter. It is still the same air purifier we loved with in a more lighter, compact size and around $50 cheaper. Even though we are very satisfied with IQair HealthPro Compact in every way, I would still go for the HealthPro or HealthPro Plus series as the reduce pricing and size does not do it for me personally. Still, credit goes to IQAir for giving us consumer the options to choose, if only there is more color options to go for. *Finger crossed*
