AirDoctor 5000 Air Purifier

AirDoctor 5000

The AirDoctor 5000 air purifier provides powerful air purification for large rooms. Like all AirDoctor air purifier models the AirDoctor 5000 uses a 3 types of filters: Pre-filter, Carbon/VOC Filter and H13 UltraHEPA Filter. The air purifier uses two of each filter type with one set of filters on one side of the unit and the other set directly opposite.

Air Purification

AirDoctor states the H13 UltraHEPA filter as being medical grade, and they've done some testing to demonstrate its effectiveness. The pre-filter takes care of larger particles and the Carbon/Gas Trap/VOC filter removes gases, odors, ozone and VOCs from the air.

Airborne Contaminants

The manufacturer makes specific note of the 5000's ability to capture bacteria, mold, pet dander, pollen, smoke and viruses. They have also performed testing on their purification and note a proven capability to trap particles 100 times smaller than the HEPA standard.

Filter Life

• Carbon/VOC Filter: 6 Months
• H13 UltraHEPA Filter: 12 months

Suggested Room Size

EnergyStar suggests the 5000 model for rooms up to 828 square feet while the manufacturer notes that in one hour the AirDoctor 5000 completely changes all the air in a 1,001 square foot room four times. That equates to 2 ACH (air changes per hour) in a 2,001 square foot room.

Features and Ergonomics

Leveraging its PM 2.5 particle sensor the air purifier can monitor the air and set the fan speed according to the air quality. We think this is a must with any air purifier and welcome the feature. From a technology standpoint, that is all you'll find. But, that is also part of the allure of the AirDoctor 5000: it's simplicity.
