If you’re looking for a reliable way to keep the air circulating inside your home clean from airborne pollutants, then one of the best ways to do so is by getting an air purifier. There are many different health benefits that make these air cleaning devices worth investing in. Firstly, having an air purifier at home can help you remove the more common airborne pollutants such as dust, pollen, and even pet dander, which can cause allergic reactions and also aggravate asthma. Moreover, an air purifier can also help reduce indoor odors and can also help eliminate harmful pollutants present in the air like cigarette smoke, as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and most importantly, airborne viruses and bacteria. Essentially, air purifiers can ultimately improve the overall air quality indoors and create a healthier home environment, which can consequently lead to a better sleep at night and overall wellbeing. With all that said, if you’re looking for a air purifier for your home, then consider going with the DH Lifelabs Sciaire Mini + HEPA Air Purifier.

By utilizing this high-end smart air purifier, you can effectively remove pretty much any airborne pollutant from the air, as well as neutralize any odors and VOCs, and most importantly, eliminating most bacteria and viruses that could potentially be circulating in the air.
Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the DH Lifelabs Sciaire Mini + HEPA and go over everything that this high-end smart air purifier has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the device’s size, the DH Lifelabs Sciaire Mini + HEPA comes at a very sleek size, measuring exactly 9.84 inches in diameter (9.9″ at its base and 7.2″ and its top-side) by 20.62 inches tall. In other words, the unit is compact enough to make it possible to have it installed within pretty much any gap or corner of a room without ever having it blocking the way. Note that the device weighs around 7.5 lbs. (3.4 kg)
In terms of its design, this air purifier features a modern and minimalist column-shaped design, giving it a very discreet look. For our review unit, we went with the Matte White color model, which also has a high-quality Glossy White coating.
Furthermore, the DH Lifelabs Sciaire Mini + HEPA Air Purifier also features a sturdy and super-durable construction.
Moving on to the air purifier’s internal components. For its internal air-filtration system, the DH Lifelabs Sciaire Mini + HEPA utilizes a high-end 3-Stage Filtration System that’s composed by a Pre-Filter (utilized for capturing larger airborne particles like dust and sand, as well as pet dander, hair, and fur), a H13 True HEPA Filter (utilized for capturing smaller airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns such as pollen, dust mites, spores, and mold), and an Activated Carbon Filter (utilized for absorbing ultra-fine airborne particles such as smoke, odors, gaseous air pollutants, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)).
In terms of the maintenance required for the air purifier’s 3-Stage Filtration System, keep in mind that the device’s body consists of just three (x3) main parts, which are the unit’s outer shell, its base at the bottom, and the H13 True HEPA Filter (which also comes integrated with a Activated Carbon Filter) that’s securely kept under its perforated air-ventilation grid. The company recommends that users perform a filter change for this air purifier’s H13 True HEPA Filter every 6 months (sold separately at DH Lifelabs’s website and also at DH Lifelabs’s Amazon Store).
It’s also worth noting that its Pre-Filter is designed to be washable and reusable.
Integrated above the DH Lifelabs Sciaire Mini + HEPA’s 3-Stage Filtration System, there’s also a set of two (x2) built-in air ionizer generators which are powered by a proprietary PlasmaShield Technology that generate plasma ions, which, as mentioned before, makes this air purifier capable of attacking and ultimately eliminating up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses.
More specifically, its first air ionizer PlasmaShield generator (located close to the top-side of the unit) sends out plasma ions into the room that you have the air purifier installed at, for which those ions actively attack any germs (i.e. bacteria and viruses) present in the air.
Then, its second air ionizer PlasmaShield generator (located at the middle of the unit, around its H13 True HEPA Filter) is responsible for killing any bacteria and viruses that are captured.
Once again, note that while the air purifier’s 3-Stage Filtration System makes it capable of removing up to 99.97% of airborne pollutant as small as 0.3 microns and also neutralizing odors and VOCs, its 2 built-in air ionizer PlasmaShield generators also make it capable of effectively eliminating up to 99.9% of airborne bacteria and viruses (such as Escherichia Coli, Rhinovirus, H1N1 Influenza, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus Aureus and Staphylococcus Albus, and SARS-COV-2).
When it comes to the air purifier’s total coverage area, know that the DH Lifelabs Sciaire Mini + HEPA is rated to have a 217 sq. ft. (20.16 m²) coverage area at approximately 4.8x per hour, and a CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) of 144 CFM (cubic feet p/ min) / 244 m³/h (cubic meters p/ hour). According to those coverage metrics, this high-end air purifier is ideal for purifying the air indoors within small to medium rooms (particularly medium-sized rooms).
Lastly, for powering its 3-Stage Filtration System and its 2 air ionizer PlasmaShield generators, the device utilizes a DC brushless motor which boasts a whisper-quiet operation under 57 dB, for which it can ultimately be set to work at a low-speed (in Sleep Mode) and with an even lower-noise level, generating just 30dB. The device has a rated Power Consumption of 32 Watts (100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz).
It’s also worth noting that this air purifier is also rated to have multiple safety and low-energy consumption certifications, including a UL, cUL, FCC, IC, EPA EST NO. 99117-CHN-1, CARB G-22-304, and Energy Star 2.0 Certifications.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL
For controlling the DH Lifelabs Sciaire Mini + HEPA Air Purifier’s operation, there’s a built-in button control panel which is at the top-side of the device, plus a built-in air-quality indicator LED light.
The air purifier’s control panel is composed by a total of six (6) touch control buttons integrated with LED lights, which, from left to right, consist of a Timer button, a Sleep button, a Power On / Off button, an Auto button, a Fan Speed button, and a PlasmaShield Technology On / Off button.
Regarding its Control Settings, note that this high-end air purifier boasts a total of 3 Fan Speed Settings (Low, Medium, and High), and 3 Timer Settings (2 hours, 4 hours, and 8 hours) for its operation.
Note that its Sleep Mode is basically the lowest Fan Speed Setting that this air purifier has to offer, making it work at a very low noise-level of at just 30 dB, as said before.
Finally, when turning on its Auto Mode, the air purifier’s built-in air-quality indicator LED light will basically inform the people present in the room about the current air quality indoors (more particularly inside that room) in real time.
If the unit’s air-quality indicator LED light shines in a blue color, that represents a good air quality, while a yellow color indicates a moderate air quality, and a red color signifies a poor air quality.
