IQAir HealthPro Compact XE

IQAir publishes air delivery per fan speed for this model (40, 75, 140, 180, 220 and 330 cfm) rather than an AHAM CADR figure, and the two are not the same measurement.

IQAir publishes no CADR or AHAM room size for this model. Its advertised room size of 1240 sq ft (115 m²) is derived from the fan's airflow at two air changes per hour with an 8 ft ceiling, and airflow is not clean air delivery, so it is not comparable with the AHAM room sizes used here.

Six manual fan speeds set from the plus and minus buttons on the panel, plus the sensor-driven smart mode.

Sound pressure at 3.3 ft across the six fan speeds: 25, 36, 44, 50, 54 and 59 dB(A).

Draw at fan speed 6. The six speeds are rated at 27, 53, 92, 121, 154 and 215 W at 100 to 120 V, with standby below 1 W.

Smart mode adjusts the fan speed automatically from the particle sensor reading, toggled from the panel or the app.

The manual documents power/standby, smart mode, manual speeds, schedules and a panel light toggle, but no night or sleep mode.

Schedules are created in the AirVisual app to turn the purifier on for specific time slots, each with its own fan speed or smart mode, and the panel lights a schedule indicator while it is waiting.

Control panel lock, set from the app: every button is deactivated and touching one only flashes the indicators. The lock releases if the internet connection drops and re-arms when it returns.

No physical remote is supplied. Remote operation is through the AirVisual app over Wi-Fi.

App schedules can hold several time slots, each running a chosen fan speed or handing control to smart mode, and smart mode itself reacts to the measured particle level.

The AirVisual app monitors HealthPro series purifiers with live and historical data alongside filter replacement alerts, so past readings from the device stay available rather than only the current value.

A brand search of the AHAM Verifide directory of certified room air cleaners returns no IQAir models. IQAir ships its own Certificate of Performance instead, individually tested at the Swiss factory before packaging.

The ENERGY STAR certified room air cleaners finder lists exactly one IQAir model, the Atem E, and it is not this one.

Purely mechanical filtration with no ioniser and no UV-C, and the listing carries CARB Executive Order G-10-059, which is the California certification that the unit stays under the 0.05 ppm ozone limit.

Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz, per IQAir's connectivity specification.

Touch control panel with power/standby, smart mode, fan speed, light, Wi-Fi and filter select buttons, each with its own indicator, plus filter status and schedule indicators.

The panel is a lit touch surface rather than a graphic display: the user manual describes indicators lit white, blue or red, fan speed shown as a row of bars, and a Light button that turns the panel lighting on or off.

Colour-scale AQI indicator bar running from green (good) to flashing purple (hazardous), readable against both the US and Chinese AQI scales. The outdoor AQI scale needs the AirVisual app and a live Wi-Fi connection.

IQAir's HyperHEPA media is certified to stop at least 99.5% of all particles down to 0.003 microns, which is the claim the whole HealthPro series is built on.

The second stage is a pleated HyperHEPA filter with an activated carbon post-filter. It is not the V5-Cell gas and odour module, which IQAir reserves for the HealthPro Plus XE and the HealthPro 250 XE and which this model cannot be upgraded with.

The first stage is the replaceable PreMax pleated pre-filter, swapped as a cartridge rather than washed.

IQAir publishes filter intervals for the HealthPro Plus XE (PreMax 12 to 18 months, HyperHEPA 36 to 48 months at 10 hours a day on speed 3) but states none for the Compact XE, which uses a filter life monitor on the panel instead of a fixed calendar.

IQAir lists the device control methods as the control panel and the IQAir AirVisual app only, and publishes no Google Home action for its purifiers.

A search of the Amazon Alexa Skills store for IQAir returns no skill, and IQAir documents app and panel control only.

IQAir has never shipped a HomeKit profile for its purifiers and the HealthPro Compact XE is not Matter certified, so there is no Apple Home path.

Not listed in the Works with SmartThings catalog, and with no Matter certification there is no automatic path either.

A community HACS integration drives IQAir purifiers through the IQAir cloud API, exposing the fan, smart mode, control panel lock, display light and smart mode profile. Its author built it against a GC MultiGas XE and states it works the same way for the HealthPro XE models, which share the AirVisual cloud.

No IQAir product appears in the CSA certified products database, and IQAir claims no Matter support for the XE line.

Integrated particle sensor measuring PM2.5, which is what feeds the smart mode and the AQI indicator bar.
