IQAir Air Purifier Receives a Consumers Digest Best Buy Rating
Tuesday November 2, 12:08 pm ET

SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire -- IQAir North America announced that their HealthPro Plus room air purifier has been chosen as a Consumers Digest Best Buy. The HealthPro Plus is featured in the December 2004 issue of Consumers Digest in an article titled Air Supply: Best Buys in Air Purifiers, Humidifiers and Portable Heaters. Consumers Digest found the HealthPro Plus to be "ideal for allergy sufferers" and praised its ability to clean air in large spaces.

IQAir's air cleaners are the only HyperHEPA air cleaners made for the home market. HyperHEPA is the highest standard of HEPA filtration. While most HEPA air purifiers can only filter fine particles down to 0.3 microns in size -- IQAir's patented HyperHEPA technology can filter particles down to 0.003 microns with a guaranteed minimum efficiency of over 99%. HyperHEPA offers 100 times the air cleaning efficiency of traditional HEPA air cleaners.

Consumers Digest cautions readers in the article that there are many air-purifying devices being sold today that do not live up to their advertising claims. IQAir makes the world's only certified home air cleaners. Each HealthPro Plus is individually tested and certified at the factory to make sure that the air cleaner shipped to the consumer performs exactly as promised.

Consumers Digest defines a Best Buy as the product that offers the most value for a given amount of money. That doesn't mean that it is the least expensive product in a category, nor does it mean it is the best known brand. A Consumers Digest Best Buy is a nationally available product that is identified as one that merits special attention from consumers based on its combination of performance, ease-of-use, features, durability, warranty, efficiency, styling, and maintenance and service requirements.

"We are honored by this recognition," says Frank Hammes, President of IQAir. "With so many air purifiers to choose from -- this award helps consumers who are looking for the very best in air cleaning."
