Hunter Air Purifiers

Overview

Hunter offers a range of low cost portable air purifiers.  Their more expensive products tend to score mid-range in Clean Air Delivery Rate tests with their lower cost products not doing so well.  Although some units include ultraviolet light technology to attack germs, it is unclear on the effectiveness of this technology unless germs can be trapped for a long time and held under very powerful UV light sufficient enough to kill them.

Hunter Air Company Info

Hunter Air began as a ceiling fan company long ago in 1886 when father and son team James and John Hunter made their first water-powered ceiling fan. The company rapidly developed over the years to become one of the premier manufacturers of ceiling fans in the country and abroad.

Today, their product line has expanded to include many items of comfort for the home, including thermostats, humidifiers and air purifiers. Their focus is on creating products that promote family comfort and health, without sacrificing style and durability in their craftsmanship.

Hunter Air Purifier Price Range

In recent years, Hunter Air has gained much credibility for its reasonably-priced line of air purifiers and their overall effectiveness in cleaning indoor air. These purifiers are said to be especially beneficial to those who suffer with allergies and have asthma symptoms. Hunter currently offers five air purifiers on their website, hunterair.com, that range in price from $90 to just over $250.

Air Purifier Technology

Hunter’s air purifier technology seeks to maintain their mission of creating reliable products without sacrificing style. Their Quiet Flo brand of air purifiers all use True HEPA filters, which are said to extract over 99% of damaging particles in the air. They also use a carbon filter that increases the life of the HEPA filter by trapping lint, hair and dust, and cleaning smoke and other odors from the air. The method of distributing clean air back into the room is a unique Hunter design that works by pushing the clean air out from the top of the unit so that particles that have settled in the room do not become airborne again.

Consumer Reports Ratings

In October 2005, Consumer Reports listed Hunter Air seventh on their room air cleaner ratings list. Hunter’s air purifiers have also received more than 30 reviews on Amazon.com, most of them with ratings that are over four stars. The company is not without its naysayers, however. Many reviewers argue that though the models are cost-friendly, the required filters are expensive and need replacement frequently, making for costly upkeep. Still others have reported disappointments in the overall quality of Hunter air purifiers and their lack of sufficient cleaning power for larger spaces.

Hunter makes a strong case for its customer satisfaction concerns, however, by offering a two-month unconditional return policy. Customers can return any item within two months of delivery, for a full product refund minus shipping.

Many consumers have also reported being pleased with Hunter’s ability to make themselves available to answer questions and provide support when needed. The company website posts clear customer service hours from Monday to Friday with a toll-free number for customers to call. In the age of ecommerce dealers who are notorious for being anonymous and reclusive when it comes to handling customer problems or concerns, this factor is refreshing to many.


Hunter Air Purifier Models

The air purifier models currently listed on Hunter Air’s website are all in the QuietFlo series, featuring True HEPA filters:
