Advanced HEPA Filtration
Typical HEPA air purifiers trap allergens and contaminants, which accumulate on the filter and interfere with efficiency. The BioGS HEPA filter traps and reduces common allergens* to support optimum filter efficiency and prolong filter life.
BioGS HEPA Filter vs. typical True HEPA Filter
Typical True HEPA filter:
- Traps allergen and particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency and over 99% efficiency for particles less than 0.1 microns
BioGS HEPA Filter:
- Traps allergen and particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency and over 99% efficiency for particles less than 0.1 microns**
- Reduces buildup of common allergens including dust mites, mold, pollen and pet dander* trapped on the filter
- Reduces the growth of bacteria and viruses on the filter***
- Prolongs optimal filter efficiency
*Test samples: mite allergen (Der f2), cedar pollen allergen (Cry j1), 4 types of mixed spores (Aspergillus niger, Penicillium citrinum, Chaetomium globosum, Myrothecium verrucaria), Cat allergen (fel d1)
** Test data shows our HEPA filter (brand new or like-new) can trap particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency. Research data shows True HEPA filters can trap particles less than 0.1 microns in size at higher than 99% efficiency. For more info, see "Guidance for Filtration and Air-Cleaning Systems to Protect Building Environments from Airborne Chemical, Biological, or Radiological Attacks" by Department of Health and Human Services, pp. 11–12, or visit Rabbit Air’s website for details.
***Test samples: type A influenza virus(H1N1), Escherichia Coli, Staphyllococcus aureus
Stage 1 - Pre-filter (washable and permanent)
Traps and reduces large sized allergens, dust, and particles.
Stage 2 - Medium Filter
Traps and reduces airborne particles larger than 1 micron in size, such as pollen, mold, and pet dander.
Stage 3 - BioGS HEPA Filter
Traps allergen and particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency, and reduces common allergens to support optimum filter efficiency and prolong filter life.
Stage 4 - Customized Filter
Choose from a variety of customized filters including Germ Defense, Pet Allergy, Odor Remover, or Toxin Absorber.
Stage 5 - Charcoal-Based Activated Carbon Filter
Made of high-grade granular activated carbon, our AC filter is much more effective than typical AC filters, which are coated with a thin layer of activated carbon. Chemicals and common household odors can be effectively reduced.
Stage 6 - Negative Ion Generator
Produces beneficial negative ions to fortify the air you breathe and freshen your indoor environment.
Benefits
Adaptable - The MinusA2 is designed to either stand alone or to be mounted on the wall.

VOLUME
On the high setting (which we keep it set at except for TV viewing), the unit sounds strong, not overly loud or high-pitched. Great white noise for light sleepers or to mask unwanted outside sounds. Turbo setting is a little louder, but not bad and it's good to have the option for more powerful air cleaning.
LOOKS
Sleek and shiny; manages not to collect a lot of dust on the casing. The narrow depth (about 7") is helpful. While the unit is fairly wide, it doesn't impose in the room. The purifier fits within the rooms' styles and spaces easily. The mood light is initially cool but it's bright for bedrooms, even in sleep mode, and truthfully we haven't used it since the day we opened the box. The built-in handle/groove for carrying is solid.
EFFECTIVENESS
We purchased one of these units in 2007 and have since bought another. They work very well with generally freshening the air and help a great deal during the heart of ragweed season. We are less stuffy and sneezy with these running and breathe more clearly in general. As far as pet hair and dust collection, we still have a lot floating around, but the purifiers are working hard, as evidenced when maintenance-cleaning the prefilter. Small odors it deals with pretty quickly. Regarding stronger odor removal (for cooking smells, neighbors' drifting cigarette smoke, etc.) it's not perfect (i.e., instantaneous) but after an hour or two of closing the door with the Minus A2 set on turbo, the affected room smells fresher. I haven't put two purifiers in one room at a time, but that would probably speed things up in a pinch if odors were really a nuisance.
CLEANING & FILTER REPLACEMENT
The exterior is very easy to wipe down, though they don't really get dusty to begin with. We replace the filters at the one-year mark, and they are definitely ready by then! The filters fit exceptionally well together and in the housing and are easy to install/remove. The replacement kit is straightforward and eco-conscious: the cardboard delivery packages are slim and many of the filters replace just the mesh interiors and let the plastic frames be reused.
MANUAL
Simple and explains things clearly.
OVERALL
Rabbit Air MinusA2 (815 sq ft.) gives the best results for an air purifier that we've ever had and it is manufactured exceptionally well. Customer service has been excellent. The unit and new filters aren't cheap, but for us they've been worth the cost.
UPDATE: 12/14/11
We recently moved into another city high-rise in an industrial area and bought another of these. They (still) seem to keep the air smelling fresher than it would otherwise. The newest model came with an ionizer that can be kept on or off; we've tried it both ways, but I haven't noticed a difference when it's on (it's in our largest room, so maybe in a smaller room, the effect would be more noticeable). Still love the design and packaging and overall effectiveness.
I really love this unit. Yes, it was the equivalent of almost one month's rent for me. And the filters are pretty pricey since I replace them every 8 months (maybe less often now that I'm in a cleaner environment). But it's been SO worth it. Like I said in my filter review - I consider this to be a preventative healthcare investment, like the quote I've seen around: "Organic food might be more expensive a lot of the time, but have you ever tried pricing cancer?"
Again, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to upload links, but I've created an imgur album with pictures of the old medium particle (2nd of 5) filter and HEPA (3rd of 5) filter next to the new replacements (4 and 5 are dark colored and come after the HEPA so the difference isn't really visible and I think it's just that their effectiveness diminishes over time). These were being replaced after the unit ran continuously on auto mode, in my ~150 sq ft bedroom that was located one building away from Ventura Blvd in the San Fernando Valley over an 8 month period. This was the 3rd set of filters that have been through this unit (I purchased it in 2010). The bedroom door was always kept closed, but the windows were drafty old jalousie style windows. The album is here: [...] . Please note that I vacuumed the large particle (1st of 5) filter at least weekly, since it does a bang up job of collecting dust and pet hair. If they remove the link, and you'd like it, just let me know and I'd be happy to send it to you. I'm really, really glad it removed all that smog from the air! I kept it between the (blackout curtained) windows and my bed, as close to my bed as I could put it and let it still operate properly. My roommate was always hoarse with red, watery eyes, and a runny nose in the mornings, and he's not very sensitive. I hardly ever had problems and I've had severe allergies since middle school...they would only act up when I left the bedroom/went outside. My pets who slept in bed next to me in my room where I was almost 24/7 for several years (medical) also did not sneeze nearly as much as or wheeze like his pets did.
I'm in Phoenix now and not near a smoggy road (and it's not as smoggy here, anyway), so maybe next filter change, the filters will come up desert dust red instead of smog black? Now I'm in a one bedroom, and I keep it in the living room with me, next to my chair, then move it by my bed at night, so that my pets (who shadow me...they deserve clean air too!) and myself always have the freshest air.
Don't forget to clean the sensor every now and then...and don't be surprised if this kicks it into high for a few minutes when you do as you kick all the dust up around it. I would really get the (very lightly alcohol dampened) cotton swab all up behind in all the available holes near the sensor (if you get a unit, you'll see what I mean), at all angles you can get it in there, as deep as you can get it in there. I apologize for how dirty that sounded. I do this and I have pulled out sizeble pet hair dust bunnies since the dust accumulates behind and around the sensor area (it helps to spin the cotton swab as you do this to really grab the bunny and pull it out). Note: I'm sure RabbitAir would advise against doing this but I've always done it without shorting anything or electrocuting myself or damaging my unit, and I want to keep as much of that from getting deeper inside the unit where it could really potentially clog things up as I can. Just be gentle...like you're cotton swabbing inside your ears after a shower. Don't blow out your unit's ear drum.
It is noisy on high but it is very rare that high kicks on for me. It only happens if A.) I spray a perfume in the room (so I imagine if you use scented room sprays, it would definitely set it off) B.) an e-cig is used in the room (it really doesn't like that vapor), C.) I kick up a lot of dust somehow, D.) there is a fire nearby and it smells smoky or I extinguish a candle (it's fine while scented soy candles burn, however). It's actually kind of cool because I'll know if something funky is going on with my air before I can smell it, because the unit will kick on full blast and the indicator light turns scary red instead of healthy blue. Otherwise, it operates on low, and I think it's very quiet. I suppose at first you might notice it, since it's a new noise, but I never even notice that it's on now. I think this is a quality, nice looking unit (people ask me what it is) that's going to last for many more years, and I'm very glad I made the investment. If you have any questions, leave me a comment and hopefully I'll be able to answer it for you.
