New, and one of the first in the world

Meet the SA700

A flat, sealed purifier in an aluminium body that stands on the floor or mounts to a wall or ceiling. Nine quiet fans push a lot of clean air through two large HEPA filters on a single speed, for about the power of a Wi-Fi router. One of the first of its kind anywhere, and the only one stocked in New Zealand.

Ships with E11 HEPA filters fitted. Add the H14 upgrade for hospital-grade capture, or the carbon pack for odours and VOCs, whenever you need them.

Quick Read

How do you Select an Air Purifier?

If you’ve decided it’s time for cleaner air, the hard part is choosing a purifier. With so much marketing spin and confusing specs, it’s tough to know what actually matters or if you're paying more than you should. We break it down with clear, data-backed advice so you can pick a purifier that truly does the job.

How clean air helps

What can a purifier actually help with?

A good HEPA and carbon purifier is one honest layer of cleaner air. Here is where it earns its place, and where it does not.

Allergies & hay fever

Pollen, dust mites and pet dander are the big indoor triggers. A genuine HEPA filter catches them before you breathe them in.

Helps: day to day symptoms in the room it runs in.
Read more

Asthma

Genuine HEPA cuts the airborne triggers behind many flare-ups, like dust, pollen and smoke. We skip ionisers, which can release ozone.

Helps: reduce triggers in the air. Not a medical treatment.

Pets

Dander and floating hair build up fast in homes with cats or dogs. A high CADR unit clears them quickly and keeps the air fresher.

Helps: airborne dander and hair. Still vacuum your surfaces.

Smoke & pollution

Wood burners, traffic and the neighbour's chimney push fine particles indoors. HEPA captures them, and high CADR clears a room fast.

Helps: fine smoke particles. Close up when it is bad outside.

Odours & cooking smells

Real granular carbon absorbs cooking, pet and everyday smells. Not a thin coated mesh, which does very little.

Helps: ongoing odours. Carbon needs replacing as it fills.
Read more

Paint, renos & VOCs

New paint, flooring and furniture off-gas VOCs like formaldehyde. Carbon takes the edge off while the smell fades.

Helps: the airborne load. Open windows clear the rest faster.
