Oransi v-hepa Finn Air Purifier Review
The Oransi v-hepa Finn air purifier uses a pre-filter and v-HEPA filter to remove pollen, dust, mold, pet dander and bacteria from the air. This air cleaner also has a UV-C germicidal lamp and permanent Titanium Dioxide filter for the removal of light odors, gases and VOC's. The user interface is intuitive. The key benefits are that the air purifier is easy to use, has very high filter performance and the UV lamp feature. This purifier has a filter replacement indicator, a v-hepa filter that will last up to 2 years and ships with 2 extra pre-filters so no replacement filters are needed for 2 or more years.
Approximate Price: $334
Overall Air Purifier Rating: 9.0/10
- Ease of Use Rating: 1.8 out of 2. The Oransi v-hepa Finn air purifier is simple to set up and operate. After removing the back cover to remove the v-hepa filter from the sealed bag, it was just a matter of plugging in the purifier to be operational. The power controls are very intuitive and access to the filter requires removal of the back cover which is easily detached. The v-HEPA filter requires cleaning every few months with a vacuum for best performance and life of the filter. The pre-filter can be washed or vacuumed lightly to clean as well. As we have found with most other air purifiers, the units come with the v-HEPA air filter. We found the UV lamp relatively easy to access and the stated life is 1-2 years.
- Air Flow: 1.6 out of 2. Based on our testing the v-hepa Finn can effectively clean rooms in the 320-400 sq ft range( 20’ x 20’). The noise level at the highest fan speed is louder than some users would want while in a bedroom however we found the v-hepa Finn air purifier to be quieter than most other HEPA air purifiers we have tested. We did not test the noise level in our lab however the air purifier specifications list the noise level at 40-60 dB which is average for a tower model. On the lowest fan speed setting the Oransi was very quiet.
- Filter Efficiency: 2.9 out of 3. The Oransi v-hepa Finn air purifier removed over 99% of the particles that were passing through the air purifier based on our particle counter. This places the v-hepa Finn air purifier among the top of all air purifiers tested.
- Consumer Feedback: 2.7 out of 3. In searching the web for customer reviews we found most reviewers purchased for bedroom use and were most interested in a high performance air purifier to remove allergens such as dust, pollen and mold. Many commented favorably on the included filter life and to date the majority have assigned a 5 star. Distribution seems to be focused on their site and through Amazon(similar to Oreck). The performance, design and feature set of the air purifier get most of the attention with users commenting on the relatively quiet noise level for a HEPA air purifier and reasonable filter costs. We did find a comment on the noise level on the highest fan speed setting being a bit louder than the reviewer would have liked.
