Hunter air purifiers currently consists of a lineup of five models and none of them are ionic air cleaners. They have had them in the past but virtually all of them are now on their rather extensive discontinued list. Hunter only manufactures standard hepa filter air cleaners and none of them have an air sterilization feature.

They do continue to stock and sell filters for some 47 models that they no longer sell and they make that list available on their main website. So then why so many discontinued air cleaners? The answer is simple. They've been in the business since the late 1800s.

Hunter has also been making quality electric motors for over a century as well, so that has given them plenty of time to build up a reputation. All of their air purifiers make use of Hunter motors and as a results are known for quiet operation and also come with solid guarantee.

Retailing at $264, is the Hunter QuietFlo 401 model. Both this and the next 4 down form it (402, 245, 90, 80) in the QuietFlo line are programmable and they also have an auto air flow adjustment feature that automatically checks and resets air flow four times a day, to account for increased or decreased air pollution. It's also rated for a whopping 403 sq feet.

The next model in line and retailing for $229 is their QuietFlo 402. All their air cleaners have a secondary carbon filter for removing smoke, cooking and pet odors but only the 402, 401 and the 245 have an LCD filter change indicator. The others use a mechanical indicator. This model, just like the 401, is also rated for 403 sq feet.

Next in line, with a price tag of $194, is their QuietFlo 245. With this model the coverage rating drops substantially to 225 sq feet but there is a big trade off. That is that this model is 33% more energy efficient than their other standard models. It does however, come with LCD lighting and there's no compromises on the 99.97% particle removal rating.

The next model, the QuietFlo 85 carries a price tag of $190, which you may note is surprisingly close to the 245. ($4 difference). Just like the 245, this model is rated at 225 sq feet but it is missing some features, such as a filter change indicator and the energy efficiency of the 245. On the plus side it has substantially higher rating numbers for smoke, dust and pollen.

The budget model in Hunter air purifiers QuietFlo line and priced at just $85, is their model 90. This unit does come with a mechanical filter change indicator but no LCD lighting. Of course along with the lower price comes a lower 155 sq foot rating. Its ratings for smoke dust and pollen also drop down to 100. The lowest of all of them.
