NuWave is an American manufacturer of air purifiers based in Vernon Hills, Illinois. The company manufactures the OxyPure air purifier and sells it to residents in all 50 states.

Functionality

The OxyPure air purifier is quite powerful and can clean the air in spaces as large as 1,200 square feet. That's larger than most apartments and even some small homes. Yet it maintains a relatively small footprint, and is suitable for smaller, spaces as well.

The unit is Energy Star rated, which means it is energy-efficient and using it routinely won't raise your electric bill too much. This is important as some air purifiers can have high ongoing costs. This isn't the case with the OxyPure air purifier, though.

You can turn the air purifier on and off on the unit itself, but for added convenience, it includes a mobile app so you can monitor your home's air quality and adjust the air purifiers settings as needed from the comfort of your own home.

Filtration and CADR ratings

The OxyPure air purifier employs a five-stage filtration system that begins with a stainless steel prefilter and includes a combination HEPA/carbon filter and an ozone emission removal filter. Its BioGuard Filter uses Electrostatic Precipitation (ESP) to capture and remove 100% of particle pollutants as small as 0.09 microns. The combined filters of the unit can remove over 99.96% of viruses and 99.99% of bacteria within two hours of detection. It scored well in an independent lab test with CADR ratings of 332, 346 and 369 for smoke, dust and pollen, respectively. The unit has also been certified by the California Air Review Board.

While it's plugged in, the OxyPure monitors your air quality continousuly. When it detects poor air quality, it will automatically kick on and run until the air quality improves. Then, it will automatically shut off. You can also manually turn it on and off as needed, but its auto-run feature is both convenient and energy-conserving. It also takes the guesswork out of using the system.

Manufacturer Reliability and Customer Service

The NuWave OxyPure air purifier has received favorable reviews from customers, which suggest that many are happy with its performance. On the off chance that something would go wrong, the unit is backed by a five-year limited warranty so you won't have to pay to fix it during this time. There's also a 90-day money-back guarantee so you can try it out and decide if it's the right choice for your home.

Operating the unit is pretty straightforward, but if you have any questions about it, you can always contact the manufacturer by phone or email and a representative can assist you.

NuWave periodically advertises limited-time offers including percent-off savings, free shipping, and extended warranties on its products. Check the company's website for details.

rating should be a zero. Went through the steps to set up the pure air zero. Downloaded the app so I can control via wifi, I could not go further since it wouldnt accept my password (yet no requirements were listed, you have to guess what they want you to use). Then in attempting to enter birth date, it defaults to 2023, since my birthday is in August it would accept me because I'm not born yet. So I backed all that back off and re tried, this time I had to tab back month at a time to get back to 1959, and it reverts to 2023. I call the 800 number and am told go to web site and hang up on me. Got to web site and asked for a chat, sat and waited for an hour and half and then asks for... Read More

We purchased the NuWave Air Purifier approximately a year ago. We live in the Sierra Mountains & have pets. Between the fires-smoke, pet smells & allergies, this purifier is absolutely the best investment ever. No smells to contend with anylonger. I love it!! It does not prevent dust. I don't mind dusting occassionally. I hope NuWave will make a smaller air purifier for bedrooms. Thank you NuWave.

I've had a couple days and it comes on full blast when I'm cooking in crockpot and won't go off. I have turned it off but it seems to be too sensitive.

Same here i was going to buy it and Anthony’s comment discouraged me from doing so. Customer service is essential. No one from the company has even responded.

I truly like the features offered, however the Better Business Bureau indicates multiple issues with this company and it’s business practices when it’s products fail.
