The Airpura T700 DLX is Airpura's largest, heaviest-duty smoke unit, built for the rooms where smoke is worst: cigar lounges, dedicated smoking rooms, and big open living areas with more than one smoker. Heavy or frequent smoke overwhelms most purifiers fast, because the tar clogs the filter before it ever clears the smell. The T700 DLX meets it with the full T-series stack, led by a dedicated Tar-Barrier prefilter that traps sticky tar first, sized here with a bigger motor to keep large rooms clear.
Behind the Tar-Barrier sits the same 26 lb bed of enhanced, potassium-iodide-impregnated carbon for smoke gases and odor, and a HEPA-barrier post filter for fine smoke particles. What the T700 DLX adds over the T600 DLX is reach: up to 635 CFM to treat spaces up to about 2,500 sq ft. It's the unit to grab when smoke is heavy, frequent, or spread across a large area. For a normal room or apartment, the T600 DLX covers it for less, and it's compared below.
How the T700 DLX Compares: T600 DLX vs T700 DLX
Both T-series DLX units run the identical smoke-fighting stack: the Tar-Barrier prefilter, a 26 lb enhanced carbon bed, and a HEPA-barrier post filter. They separate on the size of the space. The T600 DLX handles rooms up to about 2,000 sq ft. The T700 DLX brings more airflow and a stronger motor for larger, more open areas and dedicated smoking rooms, and it runs a little quieter on low.

Choose the T700 DLX when smoke is heavy or frequent and the space is large: a great room, a cigar lounge, a dedicated smoking room, or an open floor plan where smoke drifts everywhere. The bigger 635 CFM motor cycles the air more often across up to 2,500 sq ft, and it runs a touch quieter on low than the T600. Prefer the T600 DLX when your smoke problem lives in a normal room or apartment up to about 2,000 sq ft, since it carries the same Tar-Barrier and carbon stack for less.
Not really a smoke problem? For wildfire smoke and seasonal VOCs, the V700 is the dedicated large-space wildfire unit. For everyday odors and allergens the R700 is the everyday pick, and for pollen, dust, and fine particles a True HEPA model like the I700 is the right tool. Fighting broad chemicals, formaldehyde, germs and mold, or need odor-free carbon for chemical sensitivity? Each has its own large-space 700 unit.
Coverage is an estimate based on 8-ft ceilings and varies with layout, ceiling height, and how heavy the smoke is.
Is the Airpura T700 DLX Right for You?
The T700 DLX is for the toughest smoke jobs: big rooms, cigars, and more than one smoker, where a smaller purifier can't keep up.
It's an especially strong fit if you:
✔ Deal with cigar smoke or heavy, frequent tobacco smoke
✔ Have multiple smokers or a dedicated smoking room or lounge
✔ Need to clear smoke from a large or open living area
✔ Run a bar, lounge, or hospitality space that absorbs smoke daily
✔ Are sensitive to chemical fumes, VOCs, or strong combustion odors in a big space
Great fit for:
✔ Great rooms and open floor plans up to about 2,500 sq ft
✔ Cigar rooms and smoking lounges
✔ Man caves, dens, and game rooms with regular smoke
✔ Bars, clubs, and offices that allow or absorb smoke
✔ Large homes in wildfire-prone regions as a secondary line of defense
What the Airpura T700 DLX Removes
Tar & Sticky Combustion Byproducts (Tar-Barrier Prefilter)
Smoke is different from ordinary odor because it carries tar: a sticky residue that coats surfaces, clogs filters, and leaves the stale smell behind long after the smoke clears. In a large or heavy-smoke room that tar builds up fast. The T700 DLX meets it first with a dedicated Tar-Barrier prefilter that traps tar and heavy combustion particles before they reach the carbon, which is what keeps the main filters working in a room that would clog a general-purpose unit in weeks.
Smoke Gases, Chemicals & Odors (Enhanced Impregnated Carbon)
The 26 lb carbon bed is impregnated with potassium iodide, so it reaches smoke gases that plain carbon lets slip. It handles:
- Smoke odors from tobacco, cigars, and cannabis, including the deep stale smell that settles into large rooms and furnishings
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from smoke, cleaning products, and building materials
- Combustion byproducts and airborne chemicals released as things burn
- Named gases such as benzene, toluene, formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide
Airpura's carbon blends are made to address over 4,000 named airborne chemicals, which is why the T-series is the pick for smoke-heavy rooms.
Particles (HEPA-Barrier Post Filter)
After the tar and the gases are handled, a HEPA-barrier post filter gives the air a final pass, capturing 95% of airborne particles as small as 1 micron, including fine smoke particles and the carbon dust that sheds from the carbon bed as it works. The air leaving the unit is clear of the smoke particles, the tar, and the gases together.
Good to know: the T700 DLX is a smoke-first unit, and its HEPA barrier is a particle filter, not a certified True HEPA. If your main concern is pollen, dust, and pet dander rather than smoke, a True HEPA model like the R700 or I700 is the better match.
Key Design Features
Dedicated Tar-Barrier Prefilter
A tar-trapping prefilter (570 sq in) sits ahead of the carbon and catches the sticky combustion residue that would otherwise clog it. This is the T-series' signature, and it's what lets the T700 DLX keep clearing smoke in the heaviest rooms.
Enhanced Impregnated Carbon Bed
26 lb of potassium-iodide-impregnated activated carbon in a 3-inch bed with about 570 square inches of surface. The impregnation reaches smoke gases plain carbon misses, and the depth gives the air longer contact time on each pass.
High-Capacity Variable-Speed Motor
Up to 635 CFM freeflow moves a large volume of air, so a big room cycles through the filters more often. Turn it down for quiet continuous filtration or up during active smoke.
Pressure-Sealed Filter Chamber
Airpura's pressure seal and felt gaskets force all incoming air through the filters instead of letting it slip around them, so every pass actually gets cleaned.
All-Metal Housing
Powder-coated steel with felt gaskets and a separate electrical chamber. No plastic or rubber off-gassing to add to the air you're clearing.
Motor Out of the Airflow
The motor sits outside the clean-air path, so filtered air isn't blown back over it and picking up contaminants on the way out.
Regular or Super Gas? Choosing Your T700 DLX Carbon
Every T700 DLX ships with the enhanced impregnated carbon as its standard, so even the Regular option is built for heavy smoke. The choice is whether you also need Airpura to tune that carbon for an unusual or high chemical load on top of the smoke. You just pick the one you need.
Regular T700 DLX (Enhanced Impregnated Carbon)
- 26 lb enhanced activated carbon, a blend of potassium iodide and coconut shell (17% / 83%). The potassium iodide speeds up how quickly the carbon binds and removes smoke gases and chemicals
- The right choice for cigar and tobacco smoke, cannabis smoke, wildfire smoke, and everyday combustion odors and VOCs
Super Gas 700 DLX (Higher-Grade Upgrade, +$100)
- A higher-grade, application-specific carbon blend tuned for more aggressive removal of specific gases and chemicals beyond standard smoke and odor
- Worth the extra spend when you're dealing with unusual or high concentrations of airborne chemicals in a demanding space, on top of the smoke
Fighting one specific chemical? Airpura offers over 400 carbon blends covering more than 4,000 named airborne chemicals. If you know what you're up against, contact us and we'll help you spec the right one.
Maintenance & Filter Life
The T700 DLX is built for long service intervals, with one filter that needs more frequent attention because it takes the dirtiest job. It has four filters, each on its own schedule:
- Tar-Barrier prefilter: replace every 3 to 6 months, more often in heavy smoke, since it takes the sticky tar first
- Cleanable prefilter: vacuum through the grille periodically; replace about every 12 months
- HEPA-barrier post filter: replace about every 12 months
- Carbon filter: replace as needed in heavy smoke, or about every 24 months under normal use
Carbon canisters are refillable, which keeps long-term running costs down on a unit that works this hard. Running it continuously on low is the simplest way to keep smoke and odor control steady, then turn it up during active smoke. It draws about 40 watts on low and 120 watts on high, roughly a household light bulb.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get the T700 DLX or the T600 DLX?
It comes down to the size of the space and how heavy the smoke is. The T700 DLX is the large-space unit: 635 CFM and up to 2,500 sq ft, made for cigar rooms, lounges, multiple smokers, and open floor plans. The T600 DLX runs the same Tar-Barrier and 26 lb carbon stack for rooms up to about 2,000 sq ft and costs less. If your smoke is heavy, frequent, or spread out, the T700 DLX is the safer buy.
What does the Tar-Barrier prefilter do, and why does it matter for cigar smoke?
Cigar and heavy tobacco smoke carry a lot of tar, a sticky residue that coats surfaces and clogs ordinary filters quickly. The Tar-Barrier is a dedicated prefilter that traps that tar and heavy combustion particles before they reach the carbon and HEPA-barrier filters. It keeps the expensive main filters from clogging early, and it stops the tar that causes the stale, lingering smoke smell. In a cigar room or a space with multiple smokers, that's the piece that lets the T700 DLX keep performing where a general-purpose purifier would choke. Because it takes the dirtiest hit, it's the filter you replace most often, every 3 to 6 months.
What's the difference between Regular and Super Gas carbon?
The Regular T700 DLX already ships with enhanced carbon impregnated with potassium iodide, built for smoke gases, VOCs, and combustion odors. That's the right choice for almost everyone dealing with cigar, tobacco, cannabis, or wildfire smoke. Super Gas 700 DLX is a paid upgrade (about $100 more) that swaps in a higher-grade, application-specific carbon blend for unusual or high concentrations of a specific chemical, on top of the smoke. If your problem is smoke, choose Regular. If you're also fighting a heavy or unusual chemical exposure, Super Gas is worth it.
Is the T700 DLX quiet enough to run continuously?
Yes. On low it's manufacturer-rated at 30.2 dB, quieter than the T600 DLX and about the level of a quiet room, which is how it's meant to run: continuously on low for steady smoke and odor control, then turned up during active smoke. On high it moves the most air, at 63 dB, closer to normal conversation, for clearing a room fast after heavy smoke.
Is the T700 DLX a True HEPA purifier? Will it help with allergies?
The T700 DLX is a smoke-first, carbon-and-tar unit. It includes a HEPA-barrier post filter that captures 95% of particles down to 1 micron, including fine smoke particles, but it's not a certified True HEPA allergy purifier. If your priority is pollen, dust, pet dander, and the finest particles in a large space, look at a True HEPA model instead, such as the everyday R700 or the allergy-focused I700.
How much are replacement filters, and where do I get them?
Genuine T700 DLX replacement filters are available right here at Pure Indoor Living, starting at $69.98. Each filter replaces on its own schedule, so you only buy the one that's due. The Tar-Barrier prefilter is the one you'll reach for most (it comes in a 6-pack), since it takes the tar first; the carbon and HEPA-barrier filters last far longer.
Does the T700 DLX produce ozone?
No. The T700 DLX cleans air by mechanical filtration only: the Tar-Barrier, carbon adsorption, and a particle post filter. There's no ionizer and no ozone-generating process, so it won't add ozone to a room you're already trying to clear of smoke.
Does it arrive assembled, and what does the warranty cover?
Yes, the T700 DLX ships as a single assembled unit on casters, with no tools or assembly required. Unpack it, plug it in, and choose your speed. It's backed by Airpura's 5-year parts and 10-year labor warranty and is ETL certified to ANSI/UL 507. See the User Manual for setup details.
Is this a medical device?
No. The Airpura T700 DLX is a residential and commercial air purifier for general indoor air quality. It's not a medical device and isn't intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.
