Price - The Rabbit Air A3 is the most costly air purifier, costing $750, topping out the LG PuriCare 360. It is an excellent purifier, but its high price makes it difficult to market.

Price Overview

Alternatives - The A3 performs adequately, but in a saturated market for high-end air purifiers, its price of $750 makes it a challenging sell. The related MinusA2 may be a better option for the majority of users. The A2 costs $550 and has a maximum capacity of 815 square feet. It features the same design (with the option to purchase a fine art cover plate) and multi-stage filtering mechanism.

1st filter - Maintenance - Since the first filter is the only one that must be cleaned and cannot be replaced, you will not receive it if you purchase a new set of filters. It is a massive particle filter that captures hair, dust mites, insects, and other large particles. It is advantageous since it can be vacuumed or cleaned using a filter cleaner.

2nd Filter - Medium Filter - Another filter is the medium filter, which connects through velcro and is meant to capture both larger and smaller particles. According to Rabbit Air, these filters can actually start to capture germs and other microorganisms. This might be anything from pet hair to mold to bacteria.

3rd filter - Activated Carbon - Another filter is the activated carbon or charcoal, which has a honeycomb design. Each honeycomb contains charcoal briquettes that absorb odors as smoke travels through. The odor-removing filter purifies the air so that it not only has no pollutants in it when it is expelled out the top, but also smells nicer and is cleaner.

5th stage - BioGS HEPA Filter - The fifth stage is a BioGS HEPA filter, which reduces allergens to 0.3 microns and 99.9% of pollutants to 0.1 micron. Rabbit Air claims that their HEPA filters outperform competitors due to the utilization of electrostatic fibers. According to the business, these fibers are charged, which allows them to trap more particles than a standard HEPA filter.

Build - The front panel is removable and magnetically attached to the base. It features an intake that runs down the center of the panel and space for air to enter from all four sides because it does not seal flush against the body of the unit. The main unit has an angled top where the buttons and an LED light strip are located, and the vent on the top of the 20-inch-tall, 8-inch-deep box emits clean air.

Filter Position - It is not a 90-degree angle like all the other corners on the other filters, which makes installation easier because you know where it needs to go in the filter bank, and if you don't put it in right while the filter will fit inside, it won't close properly.

Design - Unlike most purifiers in the $600+ price range, which have a 360-degree design, the Rabbit Air A3 has a separate front and back. Air is drawn in from the front and sides of the 20-inch-tall, 8-inch-deep device, and clean air is expelled through a top vent. The A3 is meant to sit on the floor or be wall-mounted (hardware is provided), which makes sense if you choose one of the A3's 'Artist Series' designs, which replace the front panel. filter cover (usually solid black) mounted with one of four different art prints. The A3's matte black exterior does not immediately scream air purifier, but neither did the MinusA2's exterior.

Display Panel - The unit's interface includes fan speed, three automatic modes (according to growing germline fear), a negative ion toggle, and an air quality meter (one LED equals good, four LEDs equals poor). There are no automated readings nor color-coded indicators of air quality, only dots. The device's top contains a long colorful LED for decorative purposes (10 color options, plus an offset option, are available in the app). Lastly, the machine automatically dims its LEDs at night, although the app can manually disable them.

Mounting & Portability - Since it weighs only 20 pounds, it can be a freestanding device, or you can place it against wall using the provided wall mount. You can mount it right-side up, and this newer variant can also be mounted upside down on the wall or on the floor. As a result, people wishing to put the unit close to a ceiling are no longer restricted.

Negative Ion - Similar to many other air filters, Rabbit Air charges air potables with electrically charged ions. The theory is that these ions attach to airborne pollutants, causing them to become charged and adhere to a surface, such as a wall or the ground. While this technology is proven, it is not as miraculous as more conventional air cleaning methods, particularly in less hostile environments.

Smoking Situations - Rabbit Air is well-known in the cigar community and is even utilized in some cigar lounges for a reason: they function well. However, in a closed environment with cigar smoke, a multi-stage smoke removal system is required to handle intense cigar smoke and maintain the room smoke-free, especially if there are numerous smokers.

Rabbit Air MinusA2 - A Rabbit Air MinusA2 ($549.95-619.95) and a little fan are obvious rivals. The MinusA2 with its little fan may be a better use of $750 than an A3 without the fan. Both systems require smoke to function, and a small fan can assist in bringing smoke close to the air purifier. Rabbit Air's air purifier is the only consumer-focused air purifier for cigar smokers or cigar retailers.

Coway Mighty AP-15 - These are available for as little as $120, and while they are highly recommended for general use, they will not be as effective for cigar smoke. While the Coway removes visible smoke, the air that exits the unit stinks. The cleaned air from the Rabbit Air isn't ideal, but it has a much less odor than the Coway.

LakeAir LA-2000 OC - Electrostatic air purifiers occasionally zap like insect zappers. The fan has a single inlet and is quite noisy even on the lowest setting. As a result, if smoke misses it, the device will not function. The strong exhaust may push the smoke further away after missing the intake. This commercial strategy will likely work with multiple units in large rooms.

Smokemaster C-12 - This is fantastic, but it is overkill for anything else than a cigar lounge. It's quieter than the Rabbit Air, but it's still noisy even on low. The C-12's filters absorbed tobacco odor quickly, thus using it even when not smoking made the room smell like a cigar shop after about a month.

Price - It is sold for $750. The Rabbit Air A3 is the priciest air purifier, outbidding the LG PuriCare 360.

Value - The A3 is unquestionably more powerful and worth the extra money. The beauty of this air purifier is that if you leave it on full blast all night, the next day when you walk back into the room, you'll notice it has completely cleaned the air of the space, which is really valuable. While existing Rabbit Air owners should not upgrade, there is nothing wrong with the $200 premium over the lower-end MinusA2. Functionally, the unit is on par with the MinusA2s.
