AllerAir AirMed 1 Supreme Air Purifier (Compact Everyday Air, More Airflow)
(1" bed)
at 0.3 microns
The AllerAir AirMed 1 Supreme is the higher-airflow version of the compact AirMed 1, built for the same job, everyday allergens and light odors, but in a room that runs larger, taller, or stuffier. It pairs a medical-grade HEPA filter with a 1-inch bed of activated carbon, so it handles airborne particles and gases in a single pass.
The difference from the standard AirMed 1 is how much air it moves. A stronger fan in a slightly taller body cycles the air more often, which is what a bigger or more crowded room needs to actually stay clean. It's still light enough to carry by the handle and quiet enough for a bedroom, home office, or living room, and AllerAir builds it in Canada from the same components as its larger units.
How the AirMed 1 Supreme Compares: AirMed 1 vs AirMed 1 Supreme vs AirMed 3 Supreme
All three share the same 11-inch-wide cylindrical body, the same 40 to 60 dB sound range, and the same portable, handle-carried design. They separate on how much air they move and what kind of pollutant they're tuned for.

Choose the AirMed 1 Supreme when the air problem is everyday, dust, pollen, pet dander, and light odor, but the room is larger, taller, or stuffier than a standard AirMed 1 can keep up with: the 170 CFM fan turns the air over more often. Choose the AirMed 1 if your room is within 375 sq ft and cost matters, since the two filter the same way. Look at the AirMed 3 Supreme instead if your real problem is chemical, its 3-inch carbon bed holds more than double the adsorption capacity for VOCs, fumes, and off-gassing.
Coverage is based on 8-ft ceilings and AllerAir's recommended two air changes per hour. AllerAir sizes its units by room volume, so contact us if you want help matching a unit to your space. Sound levels vary by fan speed.
Is the AllerAir AirMed 1 Supreme Right for You?
The AirMed 1 Supreme is for a room where the air feels dusty, stuffy, or lightly stale, and the space is a little too big or too closed-in for a smaller purifier to keep clear.
It's an especially strong fit if you:
✔ Deal with dust, pollen, or pet dander in a larger bedroom, open-plan area, or busy living room
✔ Notice cooking smells, cleaning-product fumes, or general household odor that lingers
✔ Have a room with higher ceilings or poor air movement where a low-airflow unit never quite catches up
✔ Want a bedroom or office unit quiet enough to sleep or work next to
✔ Are mildly sensitive to airborne irritants and want cleaner air without a large floor-standing unit
Great fit for:
✔ Larger bedrooms, home offices, and open living areas up to 640 sq ft
✔ Apartments and condos with an open floor plan
✔ Kitchens and dining spaces where odors travel
✔ RVs, cottages, and hotel rooms where portability still matters
✔ Anyone who liked the AirMed 1 but needs it to cover more room
What the AllerAir AirMed 1 Supreme Removes
Particles & Allergens (Medical HEPA)
Air passes through a medical-grade HEPA filter certified to capture 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns:
- Dust and fine particles, caught before they settle on surfaces
- Pollen and seasonal allergens, common triggers for allergy and asthma
- Pet dander, the airborne skin flakes from cats and dogs
- Mold spores, captured while airborne before they spread
- Smoke particles from light exposure, such as a distant fireplace or occasional cooking smoke
Odors & Airborne Chemicals (Activated Carbon)
Before air reaches the HEPA, it passes through a 1-inch bed of activated carbon:
- Cooking odors from the kitchen or an open-plan space
- Household odors from pets, trash, and daily living
- Cleaning-product fumes and aerosol residues
- Light VOCs that off-gas from furniture, paint, and flooring
The HEPA filter handles solid particles and the carbon handles gases and smells, so the unit works on both problems at once.
Key Design Features
Medical-Grade HEPA Filter
A pleated H13 HEPA filter certified to trap 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns, the same class of filter the standard AirMed 1 uses for particle capture.
1" Activated Carbon Bed
A granular carbon filter with more carbon than the standard AirMed 1 carries, sized for everyday odor and light chemical control, backed by a pre-filter that catches larger particles and extends the life of the main filters.
170 CFM of Airflow
A stronger fan than the standard AirMed 1, enough to cycle the air in a room of up to 640 sq ft several times an hour, with a variable-speed dial so you can run it low overnight and higher when you need it.
All-Metal Housing
A powder-coated steel body in White that won't off-gas the way plastic housings can.
Optional UV-C Germicidal Lamp
Add a UV-C lamp if you want an extra layer of treatment for airborne bacteria, viruses, and mold. It's a supplement to the filters, not a replacement for them, and it adds no ozone.
Built for Portability
At 19 inches tall and 17 pounds with a handle on top, the AirMed 1 Supreme still moves from room to room easily. There are no wheels because it doesn't need them.
Maintenance & Filter Life
The AirMed 1 Supreme is simple to own, but like every air purifier it only performs as well as its filters:
- Pre-filter: replace every 2 to 3 months
- Medical HEPA filter: replace every 1 to 2 years, depending on use
- Activated carbon filter: replace every 1 to 2 years, based on odor and chemical load
- UV-C lamp (if fitted): replace every 16,000 hours, or once a year
To change the main filters you turn the unit off, unplug it, lay it on its top, and remove the base panel with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. The pre-filter lifts off the carbon canister without tools. AllerAir recommends running the unit continuously on a low setting for the most consistent results.
Genuine replacement filters for the AirMed 1 Supreme, including Exec and Vocarb carbon options, are available right here at Pure Indoor Living.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the AirMed 1 Supreme different from the standard AirMed 1?
They filter the air the same way, a medical HEPA filter plus a 1-inch carbon bed, so they suit the same kind of problem: everyday dust, pollen, dander, and light odor. The Supreme just has more muscle for a bigger space. Its fan moves 170 CFM instead of 100, it carries a little more carbon at 7 pounds, and it stands in a taller body, which together let it clean a room up to 640 sq ft instead of 375. If your room is within that smaller range, the standard AirMed 1 does the same job for less.
What's the difference between the Exec and Vocarb carbon blends?
Exec is the standard activated carbon and it's the right choice for everyday odors, cooking smells, and general household air. Vocarb is a specialty blend tuned for VOCs and chemical fumes, so it's worth the upgrade if you're sensitive to off-gassing from new furniture, paint, or building materials. You pick the blend when you order, and you can switch blends later just by buying the other carbon filter.
Can I upgrade the AirMed 1 Supreme to a Super HEPA filter?
Yes. AllerAir offers a Super HEPA upgrade that captures 99.99% of particles at 0.1 microns, finer than the standard medical HEPA. It isn't a standard option on this listing, so contact us if you want it and we'll set it up. If fine-particle capture and heavy carbon are both priorities, the AirMed 3 Supreme already includes a Super HEPA filter and a 3-inch carbon bed as standard.
Do I need the UV-C lamp?
For most homes, no. The AirMed 1 Supreme does its real work through the HEPA and carbon filters, and they handle particles and odors on their own. The optional UV-C germicidal lamp adds a supplementary layer aimed at airborne bacteria, viruses, and mold if you specifically want it. It doesn't produce ozone.
How loud is it?
The AirMed 1 Supreme runs at 40 dB on its lowest speed, quiet enough to sleep next to, and up to 60 dB on high, closer to the level of normal conversation. The variable-speed dial lets you set it anywhere in between.
Can I run it 24/7?
Yes. The AirMed 1 Supreme is built for continuous operation, and running it non-stop on a low setting is how AllerAir recommends using it. It draws very little power, 0.3 amps on 115V, so it costs little to leave on.
Does the AirMed 1 Supreme produce ozone?
No. The AirMed 1 Supreme cleans air by filtration only: a pre-filter, activated carbon, and a medical HEPA filter. There's no ionizer and no ozone-generating process. The optional UV-C lamp doesn't create ozone either.
Where do I get replacement filters?
Genuine AllerAir replacement filters for the AirMed 1 Supreme are available here at Pure Indoor Living, in Exec and Vocarb carbon versions plus pre-filter multi-packs. The pre-filter changes every 2 to 3 months, the HEPA every 1 to 2 years, and the carbon filter every 1 to 2 years.
What's the warranty?
The AirMed 1 Supreme comes with a 3-year warranty on labor and a 5-year warranty on parts such as the motor, cord, and switch. Expendable items like pre-filters and filters aren't covered, and the warranty is for the original purchaser.
Is this a medical device?
No. The AllerAir AirMed 1 Supreme 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.
