Allergies

High CADR + HEPA filter traps pollen, dust mites and mould spores, cutting down sneezing, itchy eyes and other allergy symptoms.

asthma inhaler icon

Asthma

Asthma triggers like dust, smoke and mould are captured by our high-efficiency HEPA filters. With no ionisers or ozone, our purifiers are safe and effective for sensitive lungs.

dust icon

Dust & Dust Mites

Airborne dust and dust mites are effectively captured by the HEPA filter. High CADR ensures enough air changes to capture these before they fall to the ground.

mould icon

Mould

While purifiers can't treat the cause of mould, the HEPA filter is extremely effective at capturing airborne mould spores. Great for those with mould sensitivities.

dog icon

Pets

From dander to odours, pets bring extra challenges indoors. Genuine HEPA filter to capture fine pet hair and dander, while the activated carbon filter absorbs smells.

home with chimney smoke icon

Smoke

Woodburners release fine particles that linger indoors. HEPA filters trap these effectively, while carbon filters help absorb smoky odours for fresher winter air.

virus icon

Viruses

HEPA filters are proven to capture airborne viruses, including COVID-19. Even extremely small droplets under 0.01 microns are trapped thanks to Brownian motion.

chemical and VOC icon

Smells & VOCs

Sqair’s activated carbon filters reduce everyday odours and VOCs from cooking and cleaning. Add extra carbon filters in place of HEPA for stronger odour control.

What the Experts Say

House Fresh

"This unit surprised us in our performance tests and quickly found a permanent place in our home."

Modern Castle

"Setting up the Sqair air purifier is simple and takes less than 5 minutes."

"Overall build quality is extremely solid and all of the pieces have a good weight to them."

BreatheSafeAir

"The Sqair has definitely impacted my home air quality in a positive way. I noticed an especially big difference in regards to TVOC levels. However, PM2.5 levels are also lower than they previously were."

What Makes the Sqair Different?

01. No Ionisers

Ionisers/negative ions can create ozone, a lung irritant that can make asthma and allergy symptoms worse. They also inflate CADR readings, giving a misleading picture of performance. The Sqair is 100% ioniser-free. Delivering safe, proven HEPA clean air without adding new pollutants.

02. Powerful Clean Air

The Sqair uses an H12 HEPA filter, capturing 99.5% of particles. Here’s the difference: H12 allows far more airflow than H13 filters. That means the Sqair delivers a higher Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) than many H13 purifiers costing 2 - 3 times more. More clean air, faster, at a great price.

03. Perfect for Sleep

At just 23dB, the Sqair’s lowest setting is quieter than a whisper, yet still powerful enough to purify a typical bedroom through the night. With no bright lights to interrupt sleep, it disappears into the background. Prefer white noise? Simply turn it up for a gentle hum while keeping your air clean and healthy.

04. Hello HEPA Filtration

The Sqair uses a high-efficiency H12 HEPA filter made from polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET) fibres. It captures 99.5% of particles above and below 0.3 microns, including pollen, dust, and pet dander down to 0.005 microns.

Each filter has over 1.5 m² of surface area, equivalent to 22 sheets of A4 paper - giving it exceptional airflow and long filter life. The combination of large surface area and high airflow means it cleans rooms quickly while staying quiet and efficient.

05. Activated Carbon for Odours & Gases

The Sqair’s carbon filter contains 140g of real activated carbon pellets; not thin foam sheets. These carbon granules are highly porous, giving each gram a surface area of up to 1500 m² to absorb harmful gases and odours.

It helps remove everyday indoor pollutants like VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from cleaning products and furniture, as well as odours from cooking and pets. The result is fresher, cleaner air with fewer irritants.

06. Simple & Durable Design

No unnecessary apps, sensors, or breakable gimmicks. Just a timeless, minimalist design built to last and easy to maintain with affordable replacement filters.

07. Backed by Data, Not Hype

Many purifiers claim huge room coverage without ever publishing CADR results - the standard measure of clean air. The Sqair is different. Every performance figure at every speed is backed by independent testing, so you know exactly how much clean air it delivers in real rooms, not marketing claims.

Got exactly what I wanted

The Sqair Air Purifier is exactly how it was described and has cleaned up the air in our house so well. Thank you Snap Air

I've had my Squair for a couple of weeks now and love it. I use it in an engineering office to control VOC's from 3d printing, and it will get the room from (very) unhealthy levels down to something safe in about 10 minutes on high, and then keep it there all day on low. On low setting the Squair is slightly quieter than a heat pump, so very unobtrusive. Five stars - great product, great price.

Super Happy

Really enjoying! I have not had it long enough to give it an in depth review but I feel like it was a great purchase and the air feels ligher and cleaner . I also love the look of it and super surprised how quiet the lowest setting is for when we are sleeping

Sqair FAQs

Yes. The Sqair’s high Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) and H12 HEPA filter quickly remove triggers like dust, pollen, mould spores, and pet dander. While results vary, many users find relief from asthma and allergy symptoms when the air is consistently cleaned.

Many purifiers add cheap, inaccurate sensors that can switch off too early - leaving air still unsafe. The Sqair skips these gimmicks to keep costs low and performance high. We recommend running it whenever people are around (or 24/7, it’s built for it). For accurate readings, pair it with a standalone monitor.

Yes. HEPA filters like the Sqairs H12 filter doesn’t just catch larger dust - it also traps ultrafine particles down to 0.005 microns, including viruses like Covid. This is thanks to Brownian Motion, which makes tiny particles more likely to collide with filter fibres.

Smart Air tested both. H13 blocks slightly more per pass (99.97% vs 99.5%), but it restricts airflow and lowers CADR. With H12, the Sqair delivers more clean air overall - which matters more for real-world protection.

Adding one would cut airflow and reduce CADR. Instead, the carbon filter’s outer layer traps dust and pet fur, which can be gently vacuumed off. This keeps airflow high without hidden compromises.

HEPA filter: Lasts around 10 months (8 hrs/day use). Replace when airflow drops or the filter looks grey/black.

Carbon filter: Use the “smell test” - if it has a metallic/acidic smell, it’s full and no longer absorbing odours or VOCs.

Yes. The Sqair remembers its last fan setting and restarts automatically when power is restored. That means easy integration with smart plugs, timers, or home automation. No separate app needed.

It’s very efficient:

  • Low: ~6W → ~$0.04/day
  • Medium: ~18W → ~$0.11/day
  • High: ~38W → ~$0.23/day

(Assumes 24/7 use at $0.25/kWh).

Orders ship promptly from our Christchurch warehouse, sent out every weekday afternoon. South Island is usually next business day, with 2 business days for North Island (slightly longer for rural addresses).

Yes. All Smart Air purifiers include a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. In NZ, they’re also covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act. Thanks to their simple, robust design, warranty issues are rare - but if something goes wrong, you’re fully supported locally.
