Comparing GermGuardian AC4825 versus AC5000E 3-in-1 Air Cleaner Purifier, What's the Difference?

Ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers, the GermGuardian AC4825 and AC5000E Air Cleaner Purifiers combine 3 air cleaning systems in 1 machine: pre-filter/charcoal filter, true HEPA filter, and UV-C light.

·     System 1 – Pre-filter/Charcoal filter:   captures large airborne particles such as dust or lint, plus helps to destroy common household odors.
·     System 2 – True HEPA filter:  captures 99.97% of airborne particles (as small as .3 microns) such as dust mites, plant pollens, mold spores and pet dander.
·     System 3 – UV-C light:  helps to kill airborne viruses, germs and bacteria.  Also activates Titanium Dioxide to help decompose odor molecules such as cooking, pet and tobacco smoke smells.

Both the GermGuardian AC4825 and AC5000E utilize just 1 filter which incorporates multiple layers of filtration, so the good news is that there’s only ever 1 filter to change.

The filter life is dependent on usage, but on average the GermGuardian AC4825 filter is said to last around 6-9 months and the GermGuardian AC5000E filter is said to last around 6-8 months before it needs changing.

Indicator lights on both these machines let you know when the filter or UV light needs replacing.

Both the GermGuardian AC4825 and AC5000E have 3 speed settings with the lowest setting being ultra-quiet so you can still run the air cleaner even when sleeping.

There’s also an on/off switch for the UV-C light so can turn the light off if that’s likely to disturb you at night for example.

So how do the GermGuardian AC4825 and AC5000E Air Cleaning Systems differ?  The differences between these 2 air purifiers mainly comes down to the size of the machines and their air cleaning capacity.

See what other customers who have bought either the GermGuardian AC4825 or GermGuardian AC5000E Air Cleaners have to say about them:

L.N.:
“I absolutely love the GermGuardian AC4825.  I suffer from bad allergies and my symptoms have noticeably reduced over the past few weeks.  I have this air cleaner in my bedroom as I suffer worse at night and first thing in the morning.  This air cleaner has a nice soothing soft noise – I actually like some white noise while I sleep so this is perfect for me.  I like that you can turn off the UV filter while still running the main filtration system.  The filter is easy to change although it rarely needs doing.  It did have a strange smell when I first used this machine but that disappeared after a while.  Overall, the GermGuardian works amazing and I am planning on buying some more for the rest of my house.”

M.M.:
“We bought the GermGuardian AC5000E for our daughter who suffers with allergies and needed this.  She loves it!  She now sleeps better and it works so quietly that she can leave going all night.  Great air cleaner.”



N.B.  It’s always advisable to consult your doctor or health care professional if you have any concerns regarding your health.
