Air Purifiers for Allergies and Hayfever
Quiet, high-airflow HEPA purifiers that pull pollen, dust, pet dander and mould spores out of the air, so you sleep and breathe easier through hayfever season.
- Quiet & powerful
- Ioniser free
- Christchurch support
- Best value
Made for bedrooms: from 23 dB on the Sqair and just 16 dB on the SA600, quieter than a whisper, so it runs all night without you noticing it's there.
Find your fit in two taps
Most allergy buyers are sorting out one or two rooms. Tell us where it'll run and how big the space is, and we'll point you to the right unit. No quiz, no email.
Sizes are matched to keep around three air changes an hour at a comfortable noise level for each setting. Bedrooms stay under 30 dB for sleep; living areas can run louder by day for extra airflow.

Even bigger, or a large quiet bedroom?
The Blast range carries the same HEPA and high-CADR approach into the largest rooms. The Blast Mk II also runs at just 29 dB on low, the quietest option we make for a big bedroom where overnight silence matters.
How HEPA purifiers actually help with allergies
Allergies and hayfever usually start with what's floating in the air: pollen, dust, pet dander and mould spores. A HEPA filter traps those particles before they reach you. But trapping is only half the job.
What decides whether your whole room gets cleaner is airflow, measured as CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate): how much filtered air the unit actually delivers each hour. Our purifiers pair genuine HEPA media with high CADR, so the air cycles through the filter several times an hour rather than just the bit sitting near the machine.
That is the difference between a filter that looks good on a spec sheet and one that keeps a real room comfortable through pollen season.
An air purifier helps with
- Airborne pollen, dust, pet dander and mould spores
- Fewer triggers, so often less sneezing, itchy eyes and congestion
- Cleaner air overnight in a closed bedroom
- Cooking and pet smells, when fitted with a carbon filter
It won't
- Remove allergens already settled in bedding, carpet or clothing
- Stop fresh pollen blowing in through open windows or doors
- Cure a medical condition. It's one helpful layer alongside cleaning and ventilation
The truth about "allergy" air purifiers
You'll see plenty of purifiers sold as "anti-allergy" or "medical-grade", usually paired with claims about special technology: ionisers, plasma filters, pollen filters and other buzzwords.
The truth is simpler. Any purifier with a genuine HEPA filter can be great for allergies and hayfever, as long as it also moves enough air through that filter. That second part, the airflow, is what most marketing skips over. Without it, even the best HEPA filter can't clean a whole room.
HEPA filtration to capture allergens like pollen, dust and pet dander.
High CADR to cycle the room's air several times an hour.
Every unit we sell is built around those two proven principles. No gimmicks, no exaggerated claims, just clean air backed by data. If you want the detail on filter grades, we wrote about H13 HEPA and what the numbers really mean.
What Kiwi allergy households say
Affordable and powerful
We got the purifier for our son who has allergies. It's quiet enough to have on overnight and it doesn't disturb his sleep. We also use it in the lounge to clear the air after the dog or cooking. On high it clears the room pretty quickly.

Perfect for our cats
The SA600 works like a charm. From the moment it was on, the room felt fresher, less dampness and much less dander flying around as we have cats. Will invest in more units in the future. Highly recommended.
Faizal, AucklandSmart Air SA600
Perfect for mould sensitivity
I have a mould sensitivity, which is the main reason for buying, and I've noticed a real change in the air quality with the SA600, where I didn't with the previous purifier I had. Thanks!
Marlow, AucklandSmart Air SA600
Our sinuses have improved
Great product and service. I'm so happy, and our sinuses have improved so much at night time since using our purifier.
