We recommend the Airpura C700-W for higher than typical concentrations of odors in the environment. Its 26lbs of activated carbon effectively removes household odors and some chemicals vapors. Whether the issue is pets, cooking, mildew, or wood-burning stoves, this air purifier has the capacity to adsorb a high concentration of offending molecules, providing a safer, more pleasant environment.
The Airpura C700-W is configured with an extra large bed of activated carbon to accommodate its main purpose of capturing odors. It also includes a HEPA-Barrier post-filter to trap particles from dust, dander, mold spores, smoke, and pollen.
All 700 series Airpura units are designed with a 635 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This is the largest CFM available in a portable unit.
Airpura C700-W vs. C700-W-DLX and T700-W:
The Airpura C700-W is extremely effective in capturing odors, but if high levels of chemical fumes are an issue or if people are smoking within your home, you may want to consider one of the other models that are configured specifically for those situations:
If used in an environment where people are smoking, we recommend Airpura T700-W which comes with a special TarTrap prefilter that protects the carbon filter from becoming prematurely contaminated by the sticky tars generated by tobacco smoke.
If you are concerned with chemical vapors off-gassing from new furniture, paints, lacquers, cleaning supplies, adhesives, pesticides, and other VOC-producing objects, consider the C700-W-DLX which contains 26lbs of Enhanced carbon. It will also remove typical household odors as well as chemical fumes.
