It handles cigart smoke...but
on February 4, 2019
Posted by: Rory199
from Upstate NY
I bought this costly unit a year ago, so I could enjoy a cigar every once in awhile in my den, without leaving the lingering smoke behind. I don't smoke a lot, maybe 1 or two a month. Running at level 6 for 12 hours, it does remove the smell, but that's at full blast for 12 hours, to clear a 10x14 room. I was hoping for better results. I have it mounted high up on the wall, hoping that would make it more effective. It was a choice between this and the "Rabbit" which is heavily advertised. I went this way, and wonder if I made the right choice. Also, the replacement filters are very expensive, and you must use the factory versions, not aftermarket.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to review your GC MultiGas.
The GC MultiGas features the best media in the industry combined with superior filter design to deliver unrivaled protection against gases, odors, and chemicals.
We’re curious to hear why you aren’t entirely satisfied with the effectiveness of your system.
Have you tried running your GC MultiGas at a lower speed? Do you run it with any windows or doors open? How high are the ceilings in your home?
There are many factors involved in the efficiency and effectiveness of an air purifier. With that said, we’d love to help you get the most out of your GC MultiGas, so please give us a call at (888) 560-1020, M-F, 8AM – 4:30PM PST.
Thanks again for your detailed review. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Best Air Purifier
on January 3, 2019

from Plano, Texas
I live in Dallas, which like any large city has car pollution, allergens, and other sources that makes the air unhealthy. Since adding the IQ Multi-Gas purifier, I have eliminated polluted air from my home. Highest quality and quiet purifier.

Seems effective. Biggest draw back is lack of sensors for an automatic setting as well as lack of quality of air measuring system!

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.

I put this unit in a litter room containing 5 litter boxes. The IQAir completely eliminated any odor that was created by the litter boxes. So I decided to do a test. I didn't clean the litter boxes to see for how long the IQAir would eliminate the odor. On the 3rd day i could barely detect any odor at all. By then I had to clean the boxes. Since then there has been no odor in that room. While cleaning the boxes, there is some odor that is eliminated by the IQAir within about 30 minutes. Also the amount of dust in the room is greatly reduced as well. I am thrilled with this unit. Thank you for offering the best air purifier EVER!!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

It Really Works!

My dad has COPD and moved in with my sister's house where there are 1-4 smokers on a daily basis.
I used to go there and come home smelling like smoke and couldn't wait to get my clothes off and wash them. I also used to come home and often find myself coughing.

I bought 2 of these machines - one for my parents living and bedroom area in my sister's house and one for the main house.
My dad's breathing is excellent; not affected by the smoke at all, and I no longer cough while I am there or when I come home and don't have to wash my clothes immediately.

[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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Top quality unit. My only complaint is that the remote control(s) never worked right. The company sent replacements, but the result was always the same - you needed to be next to the unit for it to repond and tha'tr not how a remote control should work. Tested on two separate IQAir purifier machines with same results. We eventually gave up on using the remote

High quality unit. Simple to program and use. Sleek look. The only drawback I have found is that the unit is fairly loud when running at high fan speeds (hard to hear TV and other things above it).
I would recommend this to a friend!
