  We already own the Aeris Aair Lite purifier and keep it in our office where we spend most of the day now that my wife and I are working from home full time. We realized we needed a larger unit for our downstairs as the sqft is too much for one of the Aairs. Between the fires right near our home in Los Angeles, and cooking at home every day this unit has made such a difference. We have an air quality monitor from another brand and it's been in the green since we've had this. The only con to this unit is the size, but for everything in this range it's right in line or even smaller than the competition. Also a nice surprise is that it's on wheels so we can easily roll it around if needed. Setup was as easy as taking it out of the box and plugging it in. We already had the Aeris app installed so adding this unit took just a few clicks. I like that it has a little monitor on it to see air quality and the smart mode sets the fan speeds as required when the air gets worse so you don't even hear the thing running, and we don't have to think about it. We just love the fact that I can go down in the morning and not still smell the dinner from the night before!

  This Aeris purifier was easy to set up and get running right out of the box. The only minor assembly required was to install four small mesh pre-filters and remove the power cord from inside the base. The power cord was easy to retrieve and pull out, but the pre-filters were a little annoying to install. They are ill fitting and not the most intuitive to position in place. On the bright side, after I figured out the first, the remaining three were much easier. Despite this, I am not looking forward to removing the filters for cleaning when the time comes. After installing the pre-filters, the next step was to install and setup the Aeris app. That setup was also easy to complete. The app does require creation of an account utilizing an email and phone number for 2-factor authentication. It also requires the device be added to the local Wi-Fi network. It took me less than five minutes to create an account, connect to the Aeris, connect it to my home Wi-Fi and complete the initial app setup. The app doesn’t do a ton but is useful without unnecessary fluff. It allows mode changing, provides filter status and change alerts and also shows current air quality and historical trends. The app uses a 24-hour clock and I can't find a way to switch it to a 12-hour clock. Some users may find that annoying. The Aeris operates in smart mode by default. This mode measures both outdoor and indoor air quality along with usage patterns and adjusts the airflow accordingly. Indoor quality is measured by the device and outdoor air quality is based on the current air quality of the zip code entered during app setup. The purifier can be operated via a touchpad on the top of the device or from the app. The touchpad has a monochrome digital display that shows the mode, power status and AQI (air quality index). It will also flash to indicate whether it is awaiting a connection from the app or is successfully connected to Wi-Fi. It also allows operation of the child lock. There are three operating modes available: auto, manual and sleep. I primarily use auto mode because the Aeris runs quietly in the mode while effectively sanitizing the air of harmful irritants. I am allergic to dogs. We have two dogs and although both are small and considered hypoallergenic breeds, I still frequently experience red, itchy, watery eyes and sinus issues. I can usually quickly tell whether a purifier is actually cleaning the surrounding air or just blowing around unfiltered dust and irritants. After firing up this purifier, I have experienced zero allergy symptoms in the room where it runs. Even if I go to a less allergy friendly area of our house and develop symptoms, they usually disappear after a short while once I return to the room where this is running. I also noticed the air quality is noticeably better and smells fresher. It smells clean with no hint of dampness, cooking nor any other typical lingering air odors. I’m not surprised because the filter in this thing is enormous. It ships pre-installed, but I had to open the lid and take a peek at it. It’s huge and expensive to replace, costing nearly as much as some less expensive purifiers. Once I saw it, I recognized that it’s roughly the same size and style used in some newer whole house HVAC systems. If auto mode isn’t sufficient or desired, manual mode allows manual adjustment of fan speeds. There are six manual speeds available. Any speed setting below three is relatively quiet. Three is noticeably louder but still somewhat quiet, like a white noise machine or CPAP. Four and above is where the noise starts to pick up and six is what I consider annoyingly loud. It sounds like a loud box fan running on the high setting. Auto mode works fine for me 24x7 and I’ve had no need to switch modes. Even overnight, it is comfortably quiet and neither the sound nor display interferes with nor disrupts our sleep at all. For those who prefer manual operation, modes can be switched on the device or within the app if desired. The Aeris purifier is quiet, low maintenance and very effectively at cleaning large volumes of surrounding air. The combination HEPA/charcoal filter is huge and makes it easy to see why this purifier is so effective and costly. The Aeris is easily among the best purifiers that I’ve used. I won’t touch on the price or whether I feel it’s a good deal because that is highly subjective and best left to each individual consumer. What I will say is that I can achieve similar results with less expensive purifiers. They likely aren't quite as effective at filtering down to the exact same micron level as the Aeris, but they relieve my allergy symptoms with proper care and maintenance. The Aeris is an excellent purifier for those who need it and can afford/justify the price. For those who find the pricing prohibitive, there are definitely cheaper options available. They may require a little more attention and maintenance but will provide similar relief in the long run.

  Air monitoring and purification perfection

  Aeris Cleantec - Aair 3-in-1 Pro AERIS can fairly claim that this multi-filter, fully automated, smart air purification system is a premium solution. Setting it up and using it for a week provides a convincing demonstration that these air purity professionals have your home environment well managed. The AERIS would not be out of place in a professional office space or classroom and, of course, a home. It leaves me with the feeling I’ve made a great choice for my family. I seem to recall when my interest in air quality only involved “cedar fever” and a variety of other seasonal allergies from trees and grasses. And now, of course, we’re in the middle of a virus-caused pandemic. I’ve been using a strategically placed light duty air filtering system but it’s not enough. I still had those itchy eyes. And, rolling over and sleeping late is not possible if I’m too stuffed to breathe. I’m ready for a serious air filtering. Here’s my experience with the Aeris Cleantec. Spoiler: It’s an exceptional product. SETUP and OPERATION: If you prefer detailed instructions along with pictures for guidance, you’re gonna be frustrated. The simple guide is helpful, but look online for somewhat more complete instructions. Even those leave some gaps: 1- The entire unit is ready to go out of the box, almost. You need to dig out the cord from one of the lower air vents. Easy enough. Don’t plug it in yet. 2- You’ll discover the bag of 4 washable filters that fit in the bottom air intakes. Do not tear away the finger loops. Simply bend the loops forward, keep them facing out and up while you gently push the filter until it kind’a feels like its being held in place by friction. (The filters have a shape that hints at the orientation. The edges want to sit flush.) It doesn’t feel very secure or snug even when properly placed, but it works. I’d guess these filters are simply an effort to keep hair balls or tumbleweed out of the fan motor area. The serious filtering is hidden from view. 3- Now Plug the Aeris in. You’ll see the simple icon-based controls light up. The center screen is “I’m listening” while you get the App downloaded. Meanwhile, everything can be managed using the circular control panel without the App. You can enter a manual mode or a SMART mode where the electronics are making decisions about filtering speed. But, let’s check our APP management. 4- Use the Aeris CODE in their online manual or simply search the Apple or Android APP store for Aeris SMART control App. The APP will direct you to establish a local W-Fi network between your phone and your AERIS on the path to handing off the Aeris to your home Wi-Fi. It’s all straighforward and directions in the App all make sense. After the Aeris is on your home Wi-Fi, close the App and re-open it to ensure your phone is also back on your home network. Check it. You’ll be directed to set up an account and name your device. 5- The App gives you complete control over air purifier setting, scheduling, and manual setting or Automated control. In addition, the App creates a continuous measure of your inside air quality alongside a measure of the reported outside air quality from your local area weather reporting. The Aeris trusts that you know how to read graphs. It’s very nicely done. PERFORMANCE: This attractive, waste-basket sized Aeris 3-in-1 is very professional looking and should be at home in any office, family room, or other home space. YOU never have to do anything until the APP lets you know a filter change is required. But believe me when I tell you it’s monitoring air quality. The 2nd day of ownership we decided to Insta-pot a stew. Well, the beef browning action got away from us, and we’d forgotten to turn on the ventilation fan. The AERIS recorded bad air quality (AQ rising from AQ 2 up to 354) and quickly increased fan level to high while it reduced the odors and air particulates back down to our typical level 1-2. As long as we’re talking about fan level, let me share some sound levels. At 3 ft away, in my very quiet home (43dB avg) the AERIS lowest speed - I measures below ambient room noise. I can’t get a sound reading. The AERIS operates between level 1 and 2, 98% of the time. At speed - 2, I may be measuring 42-43 dB. Still too quiet to be sure it’s not my normal house noise. At speed - 3, 50 dB. At speed - 5, 63dB and at speed - 6 it rises to a max of 70 dB. During our cooking “incident” our open kitchen/family area got so smokey we hit the highest fan level which stayed that high until odors were mostly removed, about 90 minutes later. The AERIS steadily settled back to the lowest levels. Without the AERIS, we could expect to wake up to lingering odors the next morning. Not this time. The APP keeps on top of collecting data, showing how clean the air is in the moment or as a continuous graph for the past hours, weeks or months. Our cooking incident shows up as a green mountain on the analytics chart, tracking air pollution over the next hour as our air recovered. The AERIS will warn us when the filters need replacing. We’re left with immense confidence that we’ve chosen the best possible solution for our air purification needs. CONCLUSION: The AERIS is a rare product that leaves me feeling great that I’ve made a perfect choice for myself and my family. It justifies its price with a mix of best-of-class design, filtering performance, air sensing technology and advanced control features. I keep using the word professional, but you have to see this in your home to appreciate the wonderful construction, sleek design, sophisticated control panel and the APP that been really thoroughly and thoughtfully designed. I can’t recommend this any higher. Too bad there aren’t 6 stars.
