We recommend the Airpura T700-W for use in homes where odors and chemical vapors from smoke are a problem. While it was designed specifically to remove the odors of cigarette and cigar smoke, it is also extremely effective in cleaning the air regardless of the source of smoke from burnt toast to wood-burning stoves to wildfires.
We have found the Airpura T700-W to be more effective in dealing with tobacco smoke than any other air purifier we have ever tested. These air purifiers contain a massive 26lbs of carbon, the main component for abatement of odors and chemicals. (Some competitor’s provide only a few ounces of carbon, if any at all.)
The T700-W’s special Tartrap prefilter protects the large carbon bed from becoming prematurely contaminated by the sticky tars generated by tobacco smoke. It also contains a HEPA-Barrier post-filter to trap particles from cigarettes, pipes, and cigars as well as dust, dander 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.
