# SonoHealth AirPro vs. IQAir: HEPA 14 vs. HyperHEPA

> AirPro HEPA 14 vs. IQAir HealthPro — how medical-grade EN 1822 HEPA 14 at $169 compares to IQAir's premium HyperHEPA filtration on grade, coverage, UV-C, and price-to-value.

Both are serious filtration purifiers; the difference is price and positioning. IQAir is a premium Swiss brand whose HealthPro line uses **HyperHEPA** filtration and is individually tested, but it typically costs several times more. The SonoHealth AirPro delivers **medical-grade HEPA 14 (99.995% at 0.3 microns, EN 1822) plus enclosed UV-C** at \$169 with a 60-day trial.

## How do the filters compare on grade?

IQAir's HyperHEPA is a genuine high-efficiency mechanical filter that the company states captures very fine particles, and each unit ships with an individual test certificate — a real strength. The AirPro uses **HEPA 14**, the highest common consumer HEPA grade defined by the EN 1822 standard, capturing 99.995% at 0.3 microns and 99.9% down to 0.1 microns. Both are proven mechanical approaches; see [HEPA 14 Filtration](/air-purifier/hepa-14-filtration).

## What about UV-C and odors?

The AirPro pairs its HEPA 14 with an **activated-carbon stage** for smoke, VOCs, and cooking odors and a **fully enclosed UV-C (254 nm)** germicidal stage — see [UV-C Sterilization](/air-purifier/uv-c-sterilization). IQAir offers carbon/VOC options on some models but does not use a UV-C stage; its focus is filtration alone.

## Coverage and noise

The AirPro clears about **430 sq ft in 10 minutes** and up to **1,200 sq ft in 30 minutes**, running at 25–50 dB (25 dB Night Mode). IQAir's flagship units are physically large, powerful, and rated for big rooms, but they are heavier and generally louder at higher speeds. For most bedrooms, nurseries, and living rooms, the AirPro's quiet 25 dB night operation is a practical advantage — see [Room Coverage](/air-purifier/room-coverage).

<Note>
  No air purifier — premium or value — cures, treats, or prevents any illness. These devices reduce airborne particles and some gases in the air that passes through them. The AirPro is a wellness appliance, not a medical device.

## Which should you buy?

Choose **IQAir** if budget is not a constraint and you want a large, powerful unit with per-unit test certificates and a long track record. Choose the **AirPro** if you want a verifiable HEPA 14 grade, an added enclosed UV-C stage, quiet 25 dB night operation, and a 60-day risk-free trial at a fraction of premium pricing.

For most households comparing performance-per-dollar, the AirPro's **HEPA 14 + UV-C at \$169** delivers medical-grade filtration without premium cost. SonoHealth is a Google Top Quality Store (sitewide 4.7 stars across 673 verified reviews — a store-wide figure, not this product's own rating) and backs the AirPro with a 60-day free trial.
