Not the cheapest air purifier, but Australian owned and manufactured if you want to help local manufacturers. Good high end units. 10% off all products, except commercial systems or orders.
Only just replaced the inner filter of my E20. Been on 24/7 for the last 2 and half years
Effective in areas up to 20m2. The InovaAir E7 Air Purifier is ideal for allergy & asthma sufferers in the bedroom and small offices.
3 stage filter with H13 medical grade HEPA, all aluminium casing, High flow low noise fan
Are you not an innova air marketing guy ?
No, but just a happy customer.
aint paying no 670 for a puifier
This has lesser specs than a Xiaomi Air Purifier 4 Lite, which can be had for half the price.
Go buy it then Chewing gum. give uncle Xi a few more bucks.
Please state if you are or aren't associated OP. Bit sus.
Not associated whatsoever. Just happy with product. But maybe InovaAir should give me a further discount
These score well for VOC filtering I believe. Aussie made and owned counts for something too. Considered this but was easier and quicker to go for a Philips when we needed them.
InnovaAir actually make some damn good air purifiers. But more so in the higher capacity air flow/room size range. And yes they aren't cheap, but they ARE made in Australia by an Australian company… so hardly fair to compare them to a made in China brand.
In regards to performance, NOTHING from Xiaomi will handle smoke or volatile chemicals like InnovaAir will… and that's also reflected in price. Dust is only one part of air purification. Just wait till the next fire season and see how well a cheap purifier will do (it won't).
And no I'm not affiliated with the company, but I do have some serious hayfever allergies.. and I can say that these guys are at least recommended by the Asthma Council of Australia.
Like everything, in most cases you get what you pay for.
Some of the bigger units from InnovaAir are $1500-2000… but they can handle a huge area and have massive carbon filters on them. For serious air purification, there's no comparison to Xiaomi. If it's just dust and money is more important than being debilitated by allergy symptoms (its seriously stuffs with the quality of your life day and night), then you aren't the market InnovaAir is probably marketing to.
But don't slag off people who are fans of the company. They've made a world of difference to my life.
Have two V9's in 2 different office locations - huge difference - when running full speed - very low dust - unsure if it worked for Virus - but none of the front facing staff got the virus
however - they are noisy and generate heat - staff happy in winter - but can see them being switched off in summer

sounds like you bought the marketing coolaid without looking into exactly what gives a purifer "serious purification" thing that matters for particulates in the air is the CADR (rate of air replacement) and filter grade.
This unit has a CADR is a 250m3/hr which is fairly lackluster for the price.
Xiaomi Purifier 4 for example has a maximum CADR of 400m3/hr for about one third of the price. the top spec xiaomi Pro H also has H13 HEPA filter + maximum CADR of 600m3/hr +carbon filter for sub 500 dollars. it's basically superior on every spec aside from being australian made (which probably means overseas parts and final step of assembly completed in australia - like many products that rorts the aussie made bandwagon)
NOTHING from Xiaomi will handle smoke or volatile chemicals like InnovaAir will
that's just plain wrong - you can look up the specs yourself. volatile chemicals and smell/smoke just requires a charcoal filter - it's nothing fancy, all higher spec purifiers have them. https://www.mi-store.com.au/products/xiaomi-mi-air-purifier-…
If you want to pull the 'china bad' card there's the Philips 3000 which has a cadr of around 500m3/hr H13 and charcoal filter - and is rated for rooms of 135sqm, unlike the 20sqm of this one. Philips retails for just over $600 and less on sale. If you only need it for a small room of up to 20sqm the Philips 1000 is more than enough which is about $250 on sale. https://www.philips.com.au/c-p/AC3033_73/3000i-series
So yes, InovaAir might do the job but let's not pretend you are not overpaying for it, and it's absolutely not a deal at this price
Some of the bigger units from InnovaAir are $1500-2000… but they can handle a huge area and have massive carbon filters on them. For serious air purification, there's no comparison to Xiaomi.
All air purifiers work the same way: it's a powerful fan that forces air through a HEPA filter to capture particulates. You can literally build your own DIY air purifier if you want to (and there are lots of free plans out there for that), the concept is that simple.
The only thing that matters is the CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate). There is nothing magical or special about your InovaAir purifier compared to Xiaomi or any other air purifier.
Some of these "deals" recently posted here are pretty absurd.
Being made in Australia is the one positive thing about these crazy expensive machines, everything else is just ridiculous marketing-speak.
Mate, I seriously recommend you read up on air filtration as you've made a number of errors in your post.
Not all HEPA filters are the same. Not even close.
And activated carbon… which is the ONLY type of filter that'll get smoke and VOC, is added as a token/marketing gimmick on cheap filtration units, but by the kilogram on more expensive units.
Being "magical" has nothing to do with it. It's called science. Your incorrect assumption that I'm somehow imagining the benefits of an InnovaAir system over Xiaomi only shows your lack of education on this matter. The fact you'd even try to compare what ANYTHING Xiaomi makes compared to say an E20 from InnovaAir (what I own) is laughable.
can you actually list how they are superior without getting your knickers in a twist? All of the models we listed have H13 filter which is an industry standard, which you'd know if you did your research. seems like you have to fixate on VOCs because i guess that's the only area inova may have an edge (and for most people this won't matter as it's not the primary function of an air purifier) and now we are comparing it to the e20 which costs 1.5k? we don't really care how you spend your money and no doubt you have a good product but this is a bargain website and inova's are the opposite of a bargain
@May4th: I simply listed this item as discount currently available. There are alot of things on this site that are way more expensive, but discounted for those looking at options for models and savings
@Melb69: fair enough, i'll revoke the neg as it may help some who look for this model specifically, like the apple vs android debate. you should know why you are paying more for something though and not let the marketing get to you.
The fact you'd even try to compare what ANYTHING Xiaomi makes compared to say an E20 from InnovaAir (what I own)
So you're comparing a ~$1730 air purifier to consumer $200-400 machines, I rest my case.
BTW for anyone who doesn't know, the cheaper InovaAir E7 linked in this deal is NOT anywhere on the same level as the E20.
Have a read of the Choice reviews of air purifiers. CADR isn't a perfect indicator as it doesn't factor in VOC filtering. Pure weight of the filter and the amount/weight of activated carbon within the filtering system will be a better indicator of how much VOC the air purifier can absorb.
I do have 3 Xiaomi air purifiers , 2 Homedics and 2 Philips and 100% the Philips have better VOC filtering. I dare say the InnovaAir has even better VOC filtering. If I had to buy again, I'd skip Homedics, skip Xiaomi and choose between the Philips and InnovaAir.
Also CADR is measured when the air purifier runs at full speed. They become crazy loud when doing this and chew through a lot of power. Noise and power consumption would be on my evaluation list.
I dare say the InnovaAir has even better VOC filtering
and by what measure do you base your opinion on?
the xiaomi Pro H has a VOC clearance rating of 250m3/hr (not to be confused with the lower xiaomi specs which doesn't have charcoal filter or VOC filtering). the INOVA doesn't even give a rating
why you are buying an air purifer is also important. for allergies/bushfire you are looking at PM2.5 and particulates. for COVID you are looking at droplets and aerosols. VOCs is irrelevant for all these purposes and CADR is all important
Also CADR is measured when the air purifier runs at full speed.
precisely. CADR is a range - the maximum quoted is at maximum speed. by the same measure, on lower settings the noise is less, so the Inova at maximum speed is equivalent to the xiaomi pro H / philips 3000 at low-medium setting. guess who's quieter?
Philips have better VOC filtering. I dare say the InnovaAir has even better VOC filtering
According to the CHOICE testing, the InovaAir E8 (which is the next model up from the E7 linked in this deal) does have very good VOC filtering at 75%, but its dust and smoke performance is pretty bad at 49% and 46% respectively. Not a good sign.
Overall, the E8 is not recommended by CHOICE (same as the Xiaomi 3H, which had scores of 43%, 67% and 66% respectively for VOC/dust/smoke performance).
It seems if you want good all-round performance from an InovaAir purifier, you'd need to go for the even more expensive higher-end models such as the InovaAir Airclean E20 Plus, which is recommended by CHOICE (95%, 69%, 69% — nice).
Of the Philips air purifiers tested, only the Philips Series 3000i AC3033/73 had a good VOC score (65%, 81%, 83%). The other Philips models have comparable or far worse scores than the Xiaomi 3H, interestingly.
BTW, for anyone wondering, CHOICE weighs the overall performance like this:
Dust, smoke and VOC removal, weighted 50/40/10, make up the Performance score.
So VOC removal is not considered very important, making up only 10% of the overall performance score for a tested air purifier.
Ah yes thanks for the reminder. That's why we went for two of the Philips 3000 series over one larger InnovaAir because we could buy two Philips for a similar price to the large InnovaAir. Key purpose for us was removal of paint and new carpet VOC after a renovation.
seems way overpriced
