The unit does a great job as far as I can tell. I've had to change the Pre-Filter after just a few months and had trouble keeping the unit's arms open while doing so. Even though they opened, I heard the snap, they would still slide back as I tried to get the pre-filter removed and the new one inserted. I followed all directions but this was the only problem I ran into. It's a minor issue but frustrating when you have arthritis in your hands and trying to work getting this completed.
Seems effective. Biggest draw back is lack of sensors for an automatic setting as well as lack of quality of air measuring system!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Moans! Thanks for your review.
We're glad to hear that your GC MultiGas is proving effective for your air quality issues.
There is a programmable timer built into the system interface that you can use to automate when your purifier to turn on/off. We recommend using the free IQAir AirVisual app to monitor air quality in your area and decide the best times to to run the system. The app also has a 72-hour air quality history and forecast so that you can plan when you want to time the purifier to turn on/off.
You can also use the IQAir AirVIsual Pro air quality monitor, a smart plug, and If This Then That (IFTTT) applets to set up custom air quality alert algorithms that will turn your GC MultiGas on and off depending on actual air quality measurements from our professional-grade PM2.5 sensors. This type of automation is easy to set up and completely hands-off once you set up the plug and applets with air pollution thresholds.
Feel free to give us a call at (888) 560-1020 if you'd like to learn more about your automation options! Most air purifiers that contain "air quality sensors" use cheap sensors that are too small and simplistic in design to be truly effective at accurately measuring air quality. It's much more effective and reliable to use one of our high-performance air purifiers along with industry-standard automation products than getting an all-in-one system that does neither of those things well.
Thanks for your time! We look forward to hearing from you.
I suffer from extreme indoor allergies, let alone what ever else was bothering me inside of my house. I bought this unit in desperation hoping that it would bring me some relief. I am so pleased with this product! I run it 90 percent of the time. When I come in from being outside, my home smells clean and fresh. I no longer sneeze frequently, and my eyes don’t water all of the time. The unit is easy to move from one room to another, as it has rollers on it. I take it from my main living area to my bedroom at night. It really has changed my health and quality indoors greatly. I would encourage others to try this and see what a difference it makes-especially in the winter when the furnace is running/blowing who knows what into the air. Great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent,Purchased for a home Cigar Room. Really scrubs the smoke from the air. When I’m done using the room I leave it on overnight by morning you don’t even know a cigar was smoked in there
I love it!!! I’m breathing so much better and my cleaning lady tells me that there’s less dust, dirt, pollution and cat hair. Thank you!!!! Is there an app to monitor air quality?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there, Michelle!
Thank you so much for your positive review. We're happy to hear that your IQAir system is making such a positive change in your air quality and in your life (and making your cleaning lady's job easier!).
We do, in fact, have an air quality app that you can download right now!
Go to https://www.iqair.com/us/air-quality-app to learn more and download the app for your mobile device. The app draws on your nearest public local air quality monitor and shows you data from over 60,000 sensors worldwide so you can get the big picture of world air quality at home and around the world.
You can also check out our AirVisual Pro air quality monitor to get air quality data from your immediate environment. This monitor can be set up anywhere in your home to let you know exactly how much particulate pollution is in the air you're breathing in real time. Go to https://www.iqair.com/us/air-quality-monitors/airvisual-pro to learn more.
Our filtration systems are also compatible with most smart plugs, so you can integrate your GC MultiGas system with your existing smart home system or just use the smart plug on its own. Furthermore, you can have your GC MultiGas (via your smart plug) talk to your AirVisual Pro and send you air quality reports and turn on or off based on the air quality.
Please feel free to call us at (888) 560-1020 anytime if you have any questions about your GC MultiGas. We love talking air quality!
