Score: 88/100Rankings
The IQAir V5-Cell Filter is a genuine Swiss-made replacement gas and odor filter designed for IQAir HealthPro Series air purifiers, featuring a V-shaped design containing 2.5 kg of MultiGas media. It effectively removes VOCs, formaldehyde, and odors via absorption and chemisorption, though the replacement process can be messy due to dust. It is best suited for users with IQAir HealthPro Series purifiers facing high VOCs, formaldehyde, chemical odors, or multiple chemical sensitivity.
The Blueair Protect 7400 SmartFilter is a high-tech replacement filter featuring HEPASilent Ultra™ technology and smart RFID tracking for optimized maintenance. It offers superior efficiency and lower energy consumption than traditional HEPA filters but lacks independent third-party verification. It is ideal for tech-savvy users of the Protect 7470i/7410i seeking advanced air quality monitoring.
