The manufacturer's own price. You pay what Airpura charges direct, and shipping is free.
Built by Airpura in Montreal, Quebec, in sealed all-metal housings chosen specifically so the machine itself does not off-gas into the air it is cleaning.

What It's Designed For
The C600 DLX is the highest-specification chemical filtration configuration in the standard 600 C series — 26 lbs of enhanced impregnated activated carbon for environments where standard impregnated carbon is not sufficient. Enhanced impregnation extends effective adsorption to reactive compounds that standard carbon — including standard impregnated carbon — cannot capture efficiently: ammonia, chlorine-based compounds, hydrogen sulfide, acid gases, and industrial VOC categories that require chemical reaction rather than physical adsorption for effective removal. For MCS individuals with wide-spectrum chemical reactivity, and for environments where a specific reactive compound has been identified as a concern, the C600 DLX provides the broadest chemical capture profile in the 600 series.

Filtration System
Pre-Filter — Captures large particles at intake. Protects the carbon bed and post-filter stages. Replace annually.
Carbon Bed — 26 lbs Enhanced Impregnated Activated Carbon — Chemically treated impregnated carbon that extends adsorption range to reactive compounds. Captures the full standard VOC range plus ammonia and nitrogen compounds, chlorine-based compounds, hydrogen sulfide, acid gases, low-concentration formaldehyde, industrial VOCs, and solvents requiring chemical reaction for effective capture. Over 400 specialty blends available for specific chemical environments.
HepaBarrier Post-Filter — Captures approximately 95% of airborne particles at the exit stage. Available in two configurations: HepaBarrier with frame (full assembly) or HepaBarrier filter cloth only for subsequent replacements.

Best For
- MCS individuals with wide-spectrum chemical reactivity including ammonia, chlorine, and reactive gases alongside standard VOC triggers
- Environments with industrial chemical exposure, solvent contamination, or reactive compound off-gassing that standard carbon cannot address
- Serious chemical sensitivity applications requiring the broadest available adsorption range in a room-scale unit
C600 DLX vs. C600: The C600 uses standard impregnated carbon. The C600 DLX upgrades to enhanced impregnated carbon — the correct choice when ammonia, chlorine, or reactive compounds are reactivity triggers. C600 DLX vs. G600 DLX: The G600 DLX uses enhanced impregnated German-sourced carbon. If the manufacturing origin of the carbon is a reactivity consideration, the G600 DLX is appropriate. C600 DLX vs. C700 DLX: The C700 DLX runs at 635 CFM with the same carbon configuration. For larger or higher-ceiling spaces, the C700 DLX is the upgrade.

If it is the wrong machine
Run it for 30 days. If it is not right, it costs you nothing.
A purifier is a considered purchase, and you cannot really know until it has been in the room a while. So we made being wrong free. Not a restocking fee, not a return label you pay for — nothing.
What we do
- ✓ No restocking fee
- ✓ We send a prepaid, insured return label
- ✓ Your original shipping refunded too
- ✓ Use it properly first — “normal use is expected and completely fine”
Cost to change your mind: $0.00
What is common in this category
- × Restocking fees, often 15–25% of the purchase
- × Return freight paid by you on a unit this size
- × Original shipping treated as non-refundable
- × Returns refused once the unit has actually been used
Which is the opposite of a trial
Our terms in full: 30-day return policy. Restocking fees are common across the category; we do not charge one.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you buy.
Airpura rates this machine for up to 2,000 sq ft at two air changes an hour, with 8-foot ceilings. For four air changes, which is what we suggest for smoke, asthma or chemical sensitivity, plan on about 1,000 sq ft.
Same cabinet, same airflow and the same HEPA Barrier post-filter. The difference is the carbon. The standard model uses activated carbon, which handles most household chemicals, VOCs and odors. The DLX uses impregnated carbon, which Airpura builds for heavier chemical and gas loads. If your concern is everyday VOCs and odors, the C600 costs less ($1,049.98).
Airpura filter life varies by model and usage. Airpura rates the carbon filter at about two years of continuous use in a typical home. HEPA and pre-filters have their own replacement schedules. Replacement filters are available on our filters page. Running the unit below its rated capacity meaningfully extends filter life.
Airpura units use a variable-speed motor, so you dial airflow up or down across a range rather than stepping through fixed settings. At the low end it is quiet enough to sleep beside. At the top of the range it is clearly audible and is meant for clearing a room quickly — after cooking, painting, or on a smoky day — not for running overnight. Most people settle around the middle of the range and leave it there.
No. This unit uses only mechanical filtration — no ionizer, no UV, no ozone generator. That matters for people with asthma or chemical sensitivity, because ozone is a known airway irritant. Airpura does build UV-equipped machines, and they are gathered in the UV air purifiers collection — this is not one of them.
Yes. Austin Air and Airpura units are used by patients with asthma, allergies, and chemical sensitivity. The True HEPA captures particle-class triggers and the activated carbon addresses VOCs, odors, and chemical compounds. No ionizer, no ozone — safe for respiratory conditions. For MCS specifically, the HealthMate Plus or Airpura C600 have the most relevant specifications.
Yes. Airpura units are designed for continuous residential operation. The steel-body construction and quality motor components are built for this use case. Airpura's 600 and 700 series have a variable-speed dial rather than numbered speeds, and a low to medium setting suits continuous use. Continuous operation at a moderate speed outperforms intermittent high-speed runs for maintaining consistent indoor air quality.
