AbestormAir Scrubber, Negative Air Machine with 3-Stage Filtration & 16 Inch Air Inlet for Home, Industrial and Commercial Air Purification, MERV-10 & HEPA/Activated Carbon Filters, 550 CFM, Gray

Cleaning and changing filter is a breeze. Awesome performance. Heavy duty body, extremely quiet. Pack a punch for the size.

As a professional restoration company, we use air scrubbers every day in our operations. This unit seems to compare very favorably with other units we have from well-known manufacturers.On first inspection, I was pleasantly surprised at the build quality of this unit. The plastic casing is nicely formed, sturdy, and feels well made. The latches, handles, switches, and other components feel sturdy and well-made. I really liked the cord keeper tabs formed into the area surrounding the inlet which makes wrapping the cord quick and easy. I would give this unit a really nice grade on design and features. Additional units can easily be stacked which allows for easier transport in our trucks and trailers.The size of this unit is a little smaller than some of the comparable units we have from other companies. This is a favorable finding as it means we can fit more equipment in our vans and trailers while providing the same degree of airflow. At 550 CFM this unit is more powerful than many on the market. Due to the smaller form factor, comparable power, and lower entry cost, utilizing this unit provides a quick return on investment. Looking at this machine economically, I can purchase 2 or 3 of these machines for the same cost as 1 machine from another brand and it does the same thing as well or better. Replacement filters can easily be found online at Amazon and are currently about one-third of the price of replacement HEPA filters from other companies. So continued use of this machine will be much cheaper in the long run which means more profit per machine for a restoration company like mine.I really like the ease with which this unit can be opened, inspected, cleaned, and filters changed. This unit comes with a prefilter, HEPA filter, and charcoal filter. The prefilter is kept in place with its own tabs which is a nice feature. The inlet has a removable cover for trapping filtered particles in the machine prior to movement or breaking down containment. The controls are right on top of the unit and are easy to understand and control. There is a variable speed control knob which allows easy speed control. There is a GFI-protected outlet embedded within the control panel for piggybacking additional fans and equipment.In operations, this unit has proven to be powerful and yet surprisingly quiet. I honestly have not had any complaints from homeowners as to the noise level of this machine. Many of my regular air movers are noisier. Frequently homeowners will turn off machines that are noisy if the noise is bothering them. I am seeing fewer shut-offs by homeowners with this unit.This unit is quickly gaining favorability with my technicians as it is lighter to transport, easier to carry and reliable. We have had no machine failures as of yet.

I like the unit, it runs quietly and has been a good unit however, the MERV Pre-Filter is NOT a 16" x 16" like most other air scrubbers. It an odd sized 14.88" x 13.7" x 0.78" filter. I cannot find them locally and have to special order them from the internet. This is an inconvenience because I have a mix of 3 other brands, and they are all 16" x 16".

This air-scrubber worked great. Similar features of more expensive units, and works just as well so far. We used this on a mold remediation, first under negative pressure, then in air-scrubbing mode. Worked well all around, and air-quality testing confirmed the HEPA-filter performed as expected. I’ve included a screenshot of the results. We will buy more of these.

Received my Abestorm Air Scrubber, Negative Air Machine with 3-Stage Filtration, and recently used it on a commercial water mitigation job. With water leaking from the upper level, we needed to remove the saturated ceiling tiles in the room below the flood to dry out the walls and remaining minor damaged ceiling tiles. After sealing off the room into a chamber, and running our air movers to dry out the building dust from the top of the remaining undamaged ceiling tiles was blowing around the room. We installed and ran this air scrubber in the room and problem solved...this unit works excellent for any dusty commercial environment. Thumbs up
