Design And Usability
Winner of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award and IF Design Award, Rabbit Air A3 air purifier houses a timeless design that many of us have grown accustomed to. At an 18.9 inches width, 19.7 inches height, and 8.4 inches depth, not only Rabbit Air A3 will mount high on a wall away from pestering children, you can also place it on the floor for those that are more comfortable having a 20.3 pounds machine on the ground. The boxy design comes with many nice elements that clearly took inspiration from the previous generation model. From the hidden side air inlets, built-in handle, deep wall bracket, to wide air outlet, everything is well thought-out and engineered for perfection. The clean aesthetic does not sacrifice substance over functionality, you can also customize the front panel with many attractive addon options featuring Katsushika Hokusai, Vincent van Gogh, Jan Davidsz. de Heem, Peanuts characters, and original designs by Rabbit Air’s creative team. A nice rendition to blend in as part of your home decor.
Essentially a plug-and-play setup, Rabbit Air A3 is very easy to use thanks to three-element particles, odors, and light sensors. You can manually adjust the 5 fan speeds (Silent, Low, Medium, High, Turbo) via the touch interface or set it to Pollen/ Auto mode and forget about it. Pollen mode is used during the pollen season to protect you from getting hay fever. In Auto mode, Rabbit Air A3 will only use higher speed when a large concentration of airborne pollutants is detected. Auto sleep mode will kick in when the room is pitch black for more than 3 minutes. In Sleep mode, the fan speed will be set to the lowest with all indicator lights disabled. You can also reset the filter replacement indicator by holding the mode button. There is also the option to activate/ deactivate the Negative Ion Generator for those that are not comfortable using it. Air quality indicator works on both odor and particles detection that will illuminate blue when the air quality is good, purple when medium, and red when room air quality is poor.
Another stand-out feature in Rabbit Air A3 SPA-1000N is the smart WiFi-enabled support. Simply download Rabbit Air App from Apple Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android), pair it up, and you have a wide array of functions. From managing the air purifier, setting a timer, real-time air quality updates, history logs, useful tips, and filter check, everything is here. Note that this effectively replaced the remote control found in other Rabbit Air models.
On the whole, Rabbit Air A3 SPA-1000N air purifier build quality is top-notch with a balanced of mixed plastic materials. It is Energy Star rated, AHAM/ CARB approved, and ozone-safe with ozone emission under 0.005 ppm as tested per UL 867 by Intertek. The industry-leading 5-year warranty is the perfect icing on the cake knowing you are protected from any manufacturing defects.
Airflow, Coverage, And CADR
Here’s what makes Rabbit Air A3 SPA-1000N the most desirable model from the brand. The airflow delivery rate received a nice boost starting from 64 cfm to 286 cfm. At turbo speed, it can cover a wide 1070 square footage at 2 air changes per hour or every 30 minutes. Bringing up to 4 air changes per hour, it can still cover an impressive 535 square footage of room space.

Filters And Performance
Rabbit Air A3 air purifier is powered by the familiar 6-stage air cleaning filtration that we all loved. The initial pre-filter blocks large particles in the air like dust, hair, lint, fiber from passing through. The following medium filter will capture finer particles down to 1 micron in size. With most larger impurities gone, the HEPA filter will focus on removing 99.97% microscopic particles in the air as small as 0.3 microns including mold, mildew, pollen, pet dander, lead dust. To further enhance the filtration, you can choose one of the 4 customizable filters from Germ Defense Filter (effective VS germs), Pet Allergy Filter (effective VS pet allergens), Toxin Absorber Filter (effective VS chemical fumes), and Odor Remover Filter (effective VS smoke particles). The granular activated carbon filter traps common smoke and odors from food, outdoor pollutions, cleaning products, cigarette. Lastly, the optional negative ion generator disperses millions of negative ions to bond with positive ions airborne pollutants. The bonded pollutants will fall from the increased weight allowing the air purifier to pull in for another round of filtration.Noise And Energy Usage
