The Rabbit Air MinusA2 SPA-700A can be a good solution to anyone searching for an air purifier to tackle odor or to keep dust at a minimum. It may not be cheap but with all the positive reviews that it has received, this product is well worth looking at. Now let us see whether the stylish air purifier will fit the bill.
The CADR ratings for the MinusA2 SPA-700A are 200 for dust, 193 for smoke, and 201 for pollen. According to Rabbit Air, this model performs 2 air changes in an area that is 700 sq ft. The 780 model, which is designed to cover a larger square footage (815 sq ft), offers a slightly better pollen rating. If you decide a smaller unit would suit you needs better, the SPA-550A model may be for you.
With different filters on this model, the Rabbit Air MinusA2 is more than just a basic air purifier with just a standard pleated filter. The filtration system includes pre-filter, HEPA filter, customized filter, and activated carbon filter. The permanent pre-filter is washable. The HEPA, charcoal based activated carbon, and the customized filter only require replacement once a year, depending on the air quality in the room it is being used.
A selection of four customized filters can be chosen to tackle a specific type of air pollutant. The options include pet allergy, germ defense, toxin absorber, and odor remover. For most effective odor filtration, for instance, you should opt for the odor remover version. For pet owners, the one with pet allergy which is designed to trap and reduce pet hair, pet dander, and pet odors would be the best choice.
The negative ion generator, that cleans air by weighing particles down, can be turned on/off. There is an indicator light that will illuminate when the generator is on. When it comes to ozone production, then based on the Rabbit Air website, an amount of 0.002 ppm was recorded at low fan speed, much lower than the maximum allowable ozone concentration set by California Air Resources Board (0.05 ppm maximum).
The air purification system plugs into a standard 120V wall outlet. Featuring five fan speeds, you can adjust air circulation (47-187 CFM). The Rabbit Air MinusA2 comes equipped with air quality sensors. The sensitivity can be adjusted. In the auto mode, fan speed will adjust automatically based on the amount of impurities in the air. There is an indicator that will tell you the air quality.
Based on the technical specs, this air purifier measures 20″H x 21.4″W x 7″D. You can mount the compact, stylish purifier to the wall. The wall mount kit is sold separately, but it is still nice to have the option. A remote is shipped with the purifier that will come in handy if you prefer to attach the unit to the wall.
User reviews of the Rabbit Air SPA-700A are excellent. Many owners posting to Amazon.com give it a perfect rating. Like any other air cleaner, this one is not completely flawless. That said, the vast majority of feedback has been very positive.
No purifier can completely eliminate all dust. However, from a performance perspective, it gets the job done. People with allergies and asthma have experienced the benefits of using this air purifier.
The carbon filter might not be the best. The Austin Air’s standard filter, for instance, contains 15 pounds of activated charcoal and zeolite. Having said that, people seem satisified with its performance in reducing odors. Reviews indicate that the MinusA2 purifier is good at removing smoke odors. According to the company, it would work best in rooms that are 350 square feet or less.
The price is good. Not the least expensive in the market but if indoor air quality is very important for you, you do not want to go cheap. Not many companies offer the customized filter option and multi-stage purification system, which is one of the most important aspects of this product. The five different fan speeds, indicator lights, and the automatic cycling feature justify its price.
For many of us, noise level is as critical as cleaning ability. Many customers who bought this wall-mountable air purifier commented on how quietly it operates at medium and low speeds, which is great if you plan to place your unit in the bedroom.
With only monthly filter cleaning and yearly filter change, running cost should not be a big issue. The changeable filters are reasonably priced. For around $85, you can get the filter kit for this model. The Medium, BioGS HEPA, and Charcoal Based Activated Carbon filters are included in the kit.
No product can satisfy all kinds of consumers. But if you have a need for an air cleaner that features ultra-quiet operation, then this Energy Star Certified machine is worth considering.
