Buying an Amcor Air Purifier is good for the pocket considering their very cheap prices. With prices ranging from an incredible $30 to as high as $90 each, consumers who are budget conscious will surely love to read what this machine has to offer. Consider them cheap but effective in their own way.
There are four types of Amcor Air Purifiers: AM-40, AM-60, AM-80, and AM-130. These units vary hugely in work they provide and the money they will cost. Both AM-40 and AM-60 are good for families who are willing to spend some money, but not too much for an air purifier.
AM-40 is the cheapest among the four. This type of Amcor purifier does not contain special filters like other brands but they are still capable of cleaning a room. Aside from the washable filters, they also bring fragrance to your home. Because of its cheap price, there is a disadvantage. The AM-40 is actually incapable of relieving asthma and allergy attacks. This is also true of the AM-60.
HEPA-type and electrostatic filtration are both featured in the AM-60. It is capable of removing smaller particles but not as effective as true HEPA filters, to an estimated 40% to 60% less. Electrostatic filtration helps in trapping even smaller particles. This Amcor model also comes with a washable filter which will save you the cost of filter replacements.
The last two types of Amcor product are the AM-80 and the AM-130. They are more advanced than the previous ones above because they actually have true HEPA filters. Saying this, they are also the most expensive. This feature will help clean the air more efficiently and is capable of removing the smallest of the small particles in the environment.
Also, both AM-80 and AM-130 are equipped with carbon filters that eliminate gases and odors. However, these very similar machines also have their own differences. This is in respect to the CADR or Clean Air Delivery Rate. The higher the rate is, the more effective it is against pollutants. AM-80 has a CADR of 78 for dust, 82 for smoke and 95 for pollens while AM-130 has 127 for dust, 126 for smoke and 128 for pollens.
All of these Amcor models feature an ionizer which helps them exterminate pollutants in the air by capturing some of the smaller particles. These ionizers produce minute levels of ozone. This ozone will attach to particles making them drop to the floor. Just like the Ionic Breeze 3.0 Air Purifier, these ozone molecules combat odor, giving you fresher air to breathe. However, with no exact standard level of ozone, it can be harmful to the lungs of asthmatic, allergy sufferers, children, and elderly people.
