One of our most popular residential product lines, Airpura has undergone a few recent changes. A new Swiss built motor will now be used in place of the German motor we have previously used. The new motor features the same high output CFM rating but runs much quieter. Some customers had reported a buzzing sound while operating the unit on lower speed settings, we have replaced these units with new units featuring the Swiss motor and all shipments starting at the beginning of this week and all future units will sport the new Swiss motor.

While the cost of this motor is markedly higher that it’s predecessor, we are expecting to hold the current pricing through 2006. The new motor is so quiet we’ve been hearing feedback from customers claiming that the only sound you hear is the air moving through the machine. We will be re-testing the units very soon and posting new decibel levels, but our current observations conclude that this is one of the quietest air cleaners on the market for CFM vs. sound levels.

All Airpura air purifiers will feature this new Swiss motor as will our BPA Smoke Muncher XL and BPA Smoke Muncher XL Deluxe line of residential smoke eaters.
