American Standard’s Best Air Purifiers
Improve your home’s air quality and breathe easier with our best whole-home air purifiers. We offer the best air cleaners for pets, allergies, mold, and smoke.

Indoor air quality is often worse than we realize. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that the air inside our homes can be 2-5 times more polluted than the air outdoors. This is especially concerning for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions, as common irritants like dust, pet dander, and pollen can trigger symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and congestion.
With contaminants like these lingering in the air, it’s important to take control of the air you breathe in every day. Investing in a high-quality whole-home air purification system from American Standard[FA1] ® can help remove most harmful particles to improve the air quality in your home and create a healthier, more comfortable space for you and your loved ones.
When you choose American Standard for your indoor air quality (IAQ) needs, you’ll experience cleaner air and healthier surroundings with reliable, state-of-the-art air purification solutions. Keep reading to discover more about American Standard’s best air purifiers, designed to offer superior filtration and protection against indoor pollutants and viruses.
What makes American Standard’s air purifiers stand out
Unlike portable units that only clean the air in a single room, American Standard’s whole-house air cleaners ensure that every corner of your home – from the bedroom to the living room – benefits from fresh, purified air. Our advanced filtration systems integrate directly with your HVAC system, removing up to 99.98% of airborne particles for superior filtration – far more effective than standard 1” filters that typically only catch larger particles.
If your home’s indoor air is compromised, American Standard has you covered. We offer two top-of-the-line air purification options: the QuikBox™ Air Cleaner and the AccuClean® Whole-Home Air Cleaner.
Our air filtration systems feature high-performance filtration that effectively removes allergens, pollutants, and irritants from the air. They also operate quietly, helping to ensure a peaceful environment for undisturbed sleep and relaxation.
Understanding MERV ratings
MERV, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, is a rating scale that evaluates how effectively air filters capture particles, with ratings ranging from 1 to 16. The higher the MERV rating, the better the filter is at trapping smaller particles to improve overall air quality.
The most effective systems, including American Standard’s offerings, can capture microscopic particles, which are measured in microns. To give you some perspective, the smallest object the human eye can detect is around 40 microns, about the width of a human hair, which is 50-70 microns wide.
However, particles as small as 2.5 microns – or even smaller – are the real concern, according to the EPA. These tiny particles can travel deep into your lungs, potentially causing serious health problems. American Standard’s air purifiers can help filter out the majority of these microscopic particles, helping to alleviate respiratory symptoms.
Best value: The QuikBox™Air Cleaner
For those looking for a great value, we recommend the QuikBox™ Air Cleaner. While you’ll save more of your hard-earned money with the QuikBox™, you also receive efficient filtration that helps eliminate dust, pet dander, and other common triggers for allergies and asthma, while also reducing airborne viruses and bacteria.
This budget-friendly option is easy to install and works seamlessly with your American Standard HVAC system, offering a comprehensive solution to improve air quality in your entire home – not just a single bedroom or living room.
Some key highlights:
- Can capture particles as small as .3 microns
- Up to 20 times more effective than a standard 1” filter
- Thicker, easy-to-replace filters last up to 6 months (compared to 2-3 months for a standard filter you buy at the grocery store)
- Can extend the lifespan of your HVAC system while maintaining its efficiency
- Suitable for homes up to 4,500 sq. ft.
- Available in two tiers – Premium (MERV11) and Superior (MERV 13)
- Great at removing allergies and pet dander
Most effective: AccuClean® Whole-Home Air Cleaner
If you seek the highest level of air purification to eliminate unhealthy pollutants and contaminants, we suggest the AccuClean® Whole-Home Air Cleaner. It uses innovative, one-of-a-kind technology to eliminate even the smallest particles to help keep your family safe and healthy.
Using a powerful Intense Field Dielectric (ifD) corona field to charge incoming air, AccuClean® works like a magnet to draw harmful particles out of the air with its polarized force and capture/retain them in the collection cell until cleaned.
Some key system highlights:
- Removes 99.98% of allergens and contaminants
- An astonishing 100 times more effective than a standard 1” filter
- Captures particles as small as .3 microns without affecting system efficiency
- Zero ozone emissions

- Certified asthma and allergy friendly®by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)
- Reusable, cleanable filter for easy maintenance
