Product Information

Night mode senses room lighting and turns off display lights, turns off plasma ion generator and reduces noise to whisper quiet levels 4 To tell you the truth, Instant air purifiers is definitely far away from being quiet, especially at a higher speed levels. But here’s a good news: in Night mode the air purifier runs only at a speed one which produces white noise, but this white noise isn’t disturbing. I’ve put the small unit in my small bedroom and it didn’t bother me at night at all.

Now let’s take a look how Instant air purifiers perform in different sized rooms. Room Size for Small Instant Air Purifier Room size

This Instant™ Air Purifier will start delivering cleaner air in minutes and completely recycles the room’s air five times per hour³. As for the sound levels, Instant air purifiers aren’t leaders in this department. The small unit is quiet on low speed, but somewhat noisy at a high speed, despite it not being powerful. As for the Instant AP100 air purifier, it is small and can be used for a small bedroom or bathroom, but it doesn’t have enough power to clean air in any room larger than 200 square feet.

The 360° air intake on both Instant air purifiers located at the bottom part of the units, making it great to pull in the dust and other small particles. Air exhaust located right at the top, surrounding the control panel. Controls, Filter and Features The large Instant air purifier is even more noisy: it makes 33dB sound at speed 1, 44dB at speed 2 and 68dB at a speed three. Both Instant air purifiers are independently tested by AHAM and their advertised space coverage of 126 sq. ft. and 388 sq. ft. is legit which is something nice to have in 2023. That means they can clean up air in such spaces every 12 minutes which is a requirement for an air purifier to be suitable for people who have breathing conditions such as asthma, allergies and so on.

Eco mode cycles the fan on and off every 10 minutes, if air quality is detected as good for 30 minutes, allowing 50% energy reduction (Energy Star certified)Personally, I don’t think the filter will last longer than 6 months. Even Instant points out that their calculation on filter life is based on running the air purifier in eco-mode for 24 hours per day. So if you’re going to run it at a medium speed 24/7 the air filter might wear out faster, after 3 or 4 months of usage. Night mode senses the rooms lighting to turn off the display lights and the Plasma Ion generator, and reduces noise to whisper quiet levels⁴. Advanced 3-in-1 filtration system: HEPA-13 filter captures 99.97% of dust, dander, pollen, allergens and other ultrafine impurities in the air; carbon layer in the filter helps reduce odours; antimicrobial coating prevents bacterial growth on the filter and protects it against degradation. Advanced filtration system: HEPA-13 filter captures 99.97% of dust, dander, pollen, smoke, allergens and other ultrafine impurities in the air; carbon layer in the filter helps reduce odors

This button allows to switch between light levels: 0, 20, 60, 100. I wish there would be more features like this on other air purifiers! As you can see from the table above, the number of air changes per hour drops significantly after 600 square feet. And spaces over 900 sq. ft. won’t be properly ventilated at all (required minimum for living room is 2 ACPH, see recommendations). But as for the advertised space of ~ 400 sq. ft., Instant air purifier AP300 definitely works. In rooms smaller than 400 sq. ft. this air purifier will definitely remove any allergy symptoms (especially if you consider pollen as a source of it). Maintenance Costs Small Instant Air Purifier AP100 in-1 air filter includes true HEPA filter H13 that captures pollutants down to 0.3 micron at 99.97% efficiency. In addition to that, it has activated carbon filter. This filter has granular carbon inside it to absorb different odors present in a house. The third layer of air cleaning is antimicrobial filter. It mostly prevents bacteria growth inside the air purifiers and doesn’t take a part in air cleaning. Uses an advanced filtration system and plasma ion technology to remove 99.9% of the virus that causes COVID-19 from treated air 1 The AP100 Instant™ Air Purifier is ideal for small spaces like bedrooms, home offices and bathrooms. It can remove 99.97% of ultrafine airborne impurities and 99.9% of virus, bacteria and mold particles from treated air ¹ .The AP200 model is suited for medium-sized spaces like kitchen, offices or larger bedrooms. While the AP100 model is best suited for home offices, bedrooms or hallways.

So I’ve got 2 Instant air purifiers: one for me small bedroom (model AP100) and the other one for my living room (AP300). On a surface they look similar, but obviously the unit for smaller space is smaller in size and looks more “beefy” in diameter. The Instant AP300 is taller and looks more sleek. Both Instant air purifiers offer the same 4-stage air filtration system with 3-on-1 air filter and ionizer. The only difference between their filters is its size, as the bigger the filter is, the more airborne particles it can capture in one go and it requires less time to clean air in a room.

CLEAN AIR IN MINUTES: Filters up to 1,140 SQFT per hour, to exchange 228 SQFT 5 times per hour, allowing you to breathe cleaner air in minutes, based on 3rd party testing. I got my Instant air purifiers unassembled, but putting inside the air filter was very easy. I had to remove the base, unwrap the filter, put it inside and close the bottom panel. All steps are described in user manual, so it’s a no-brainer. Review Switch to see either Air Quality rating or PM2.5 rating. The latter means particulate matter and stands for tiny particles 2.5 micron is size and smaller. Doesn’t present on small Instant air purifier. Instant air purifiers also employ Plasma Ion Technology which is an ionizer in a nutshell. It produces negative ions which attach themselves to particles, making them bigger and easier to capture.
