Did you just ask: Why an Airdog?
Why would anyone choose an FDA-cleared air purifier that does not require frequent and expensive HEPA filter replacements or create an annoying background hum while operating, won’t guzzle energy and release indiscriminate amounts of reactive oxygen into the air, but does its job efficiently removing Particulate Matter as small as 0.0146 microns and destroying harmful viruses and germs?
It seems like you need to know the 7 reasons that made our customers switch to an Airdog.
7 Reasons To Buy An Airdog
-
FDA-cleared Medical-Grade Air Purifier
The Airdog X5 Recirculating Air Cleaner received FDA clearance in November 2022. The product was deemed fit for use as a medical-grade air purifier for general indoor use in hospitals. Receiving the Section 510(k) clearance from the highest governing body in the United States for medical devices has been a big boost to the present success of Airdog. It gave customers the assurance they needed that the patented Two-pole Active Filtration Technology® (TPA) technology used in an Airdog was not just another clever ploy concocted to sell you some inferior air purifier.

No Need for Expensive HEPA Filter Replacement
HEPA filters are made from fiberglass and plastic. Replacing one of them is the equivalent of releasing 70 plastic bags into the landfill. If you are using a HEPA air purifier, you may need to change the HEPA filter every 6 months or less for efficient functioning. Depending on the brand and type of air purifier, it could cost you around 200 AUD per filter for the larger models or 120 AUD for medium-sized ones. It’s a constant drip from your pocket. Not so with an Airdog. An Airdog functions without the need for a HEPA filter. It uses reusable collection plates on which the zapped particulate matter falls. The plate can be removed, washed, and put right back into the device to continue its efficient filtration.
Moreover, the Airdog’s Cumulative Clean Mass (CCM) is 50x more efficient than a traditional HEPA filter. The Airdog doesn’t experience a drop in efficiency when faced with smoke from 440 cigarettes, unlike a HEPA filter, which falters when challenged with smoke from just 45 cigarettes.

Minimal Ozone Release <50 ppb (CARB & FDA regulations)
The Airdog works on the principle of an electrostatic precipitator. It releases reactive oxygen or ozone as a by-product. An activated carbon stage removes the ozone released in electrostatic precipitation, before the clean air is released.
The product produces very low ozone, even without the carbon filter, and meets safety standards, as verified by ETL (Electrical Testing Laboratories) test results.
Regulatory bodies like the California Air Resources Board and the FDA limit ozone emissions to 50 ppb or less. The Airdog produces < 50 ppb ozone emissions, and that makes it perfectly safe for general home and office use.

Inactivates the Influenza H3N2 virus and Reduces Staphylococcus albus
Airdog air purifiers remove particulate matter as small as 0.0146 microns while standard air purifiers capture particles as small as 0.3 microns. It inactivates the influenza H3N2 virus by 99.99% and the Staphylococcus albus as well. It also produces a 4-log reduction of PM2.5 efficiently.
-
Doesn’t Guzzle Energy
Unlike other electricity-guzzling models, the Airdog is energy-efficient and has received the ENERGY STAR rating for the Airdog X3 and the X5. Since it can operate in an automatic mode, it is much more energy efficient than other standard air purifiers.
-
Operates Quietly
Unlike traditional HEPA filters, this compact unit operates quietly at just 30dB on level 1. It delivers up to four air changes per hour, ensuring clean, fresh air without disturbing your peace. Perfect for families with babies and pets.
-
Feature-Rich Convenience
But the best part of an Airdog is the convenience it adds to your life. It comes with an App that you can use to control the settings remotely. Track air quality in real time and adjust settings to optimise the indoor air quality.
It’s got a motion sensor that picks up nearby movement and automatically turns on a soft night light, perfect for lighting up paths when sleepless children get out of bed to look for you.
The night light also changes colour to show air quality: green means the air’s clean, yellow means it’s getting better, and red means it’s working harder to clean things up.
Airdogs are made with V-0 rated fireproof materials and have a safety lock to stop curious kids or pets from changing the settings during their explorations. It’s built with busy families in mind. Plus, it’ll automatically switch off if the back panel is opened by accident.
The Bottomline
Guess you’re wondering how you ever got by without an Airdog, huh? So, if you are looking for a cost-effective alternative to a HEPA air filter, pick the Airdog. It’ll help you say goodbye to unnecessary overheads, that’s for sure.
