What It's Designed For

The R400 is Airpura's entry-level all-purpose purifier — a sealed all-metal system combining an activated carbon bed with True HEPA filtration for everyday residential air quality. The EPA identifies indoor air as the number one environmental health concern; the R400 addresses both its chemical and particulate dimensions in a compact unit sized for rooms up to approximately 1,000 sq ft.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you buy.

Airpura rates this machine for up to 1,000 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 500 sq ft.

  • The R600 ($849.98) moves 560 CFM and is rated by Airpura for 2,000 sq ft at two air changes an hour.
  • The R700 ($999.98) moves 635 CFM and is rated by Airpura for 2,500 sq ft at two air changes an hour.
  • The R414 ($609.98) is the same machine with a Super HEPA filter, 99.99% at 0.3 microns, in place of True HEPA at 99.97%.

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's sales sheet rates this model at 25 dB on low and 54 dB on high, measured at 6 feet. It has three fan speeds. Most people run it low overnight and turn it up to clear a room quickly. See our quiet bedroom guide for every model's numbers.

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. The 400 series has three fan 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.

Airpura units ship free directly from their facility in Montreal, Canada. Most orders arrive in 4 to 9 business days, including 1 to 3 business days to process. You will receive a tracking number once your order ships. Import duties and customs fees are included in the product price — no surprise charges at delivery.

Airpura units carry a 5-year warranty on parts and labor, plus labor-only coverage to 10 years. As an authorized Airpura dealer, Fresh Home Air supports the full manufacturer warranty. Contact us at support@freshhomeair.com for warranty service.

Run it in your home for 30 days. If it is not right, email support@freshhomeair.com and we will send you a prepaid, insured return label. We pay the return shipping, there is no restocking fee, and you get a full refund once the unit is back with us. If it arrives damaged or faulty, email us within 7 days with photos of the item and the packaging. We will send a replacement and collect the original, and you pay nothing.

Yes. No ionizer, no ozone, no UV. Mechanical HEPA and activated carbon only, safe for continuous use in rooms with children and pets.

solid entry into the Airpura lineup

First Airpura purchase and I'm happy I started here. The build quality is noticeably better than previous units I've owned. For my 950 sq ft apartment the R400 is sufficient. The 18 lbs of carbon handles everyday odors and dust without any issues. Will probably upgrade to an R600 when I move.

Great Entry Point to the Airpura Line

The R400 is an excellent machine for a smaller home or apartment. Same Airpura build quality at a more accessible size. Highly effective and very quiet at lower settings.

G
Greta Lindqvist
handles my studio plus bedroom

I use the R400 in my open studio apartment — about 850 sq ft. It covers the whole space easily. The 18 lbs of carbon manages cooking smells and allergens from an older building. Very happy with the performance and the compact-for-Airpura form factor.

D
David Santos
great for apartment use

Living in a 1100 sq ft apartment, the R400 is the right choice. The R600 would be overkill for my square footage. This covers my space efficiently, handles dust and cooking odors, and the 18 lbs of carbon means I'm not replacing the filter constantly.

B
Bobby Ingram
worth it for bedroom air quality

Good unit for a bedroom or small apartment. The R400 runs quietly enough on medium that it doesn't disturb sleep. My allergies are better in the morning compared to before. The only thing I'd note is that for larger spaces you'd want to step up to the R600.

C
Carol Jennings
right size for a master bedroom

I didn't need a full 2000 sq ft unit for my bedroom. The R400 is sized appropriately — 18 lbs of carbon in a smaller package. It handles the bedroom and connected bath without working hard. Very quiet on medium, which is all I need for overnight use.

M
Michael Adkins
lighter and easier to move around

The R400 is much easier to relocate than the larger Airpura models. I shift it between my bedroom and a home office depending on where I'm spending time. For a 1000 sq ft apartment that flexibility is useful. Air quality improvement has been consistent wherever I place it.
