IQAir’s Atem X, described by WIRED as "the most powerful and quietest air purifier," earned a 9 out of 10 “nearly flawless” rating. Its advanced filtration technology, user-friendly features, and sleek design make it a top choice for those seeking exceptional air quality. (1).

WIRED praised Atem X for its combination of sophisticated aesthetics and unrivaled performance, likening its design to high-end Bang & Olufsen speakers.

The Atem X features a HyperHEPA filter that effectively captures particles, including viruses, bacteria, and particulate matter (PM). This filter, coupled with Atem X’s innovative design, ensures that even in a 1,600-square-foot room, the air is exchanged and purified twice an hour at the highest setting. The reviewer noted, “for sound, it’s the most powerful and quietest air purifier I’ve tested,” with noise levels maxing out at 63 decibels, which is slightly higher than conversational speech in a restaurant, or from an air conditioner.

The review also emphasized the Atem X’s user-friendly design, featuring a proprietary app that provides real-time air quality index and particulate matter readings. Its portability is enhanced by a sleek look, complete with a faux leather strap and a hidden power cord groove, allowing it to fit seamlessly against walls or furniture.

Atem X’s 10-year warranty further underscores its durability and reliability over the long term.

The takeaway

WIRED’s endorsement of IQAir’s Atem X air purifier cements its status as the most powerful and quietest air purifier available. With its advanced HyperHEPA filtration, efficient and near-silent operation, and elegant appearance, it offers top performance for large spaces.
