Do you know how much allergens and pollutants you breathe in every day? The VOC in your car. The mold spores in your bathroom. The cigarette smell in your office. The dust mites in your bedroom. They are everywhere. Indoor spaces often contain more allergens than outdoors. We spend most of our day indoor, which makes the indoor air quality critical to our overall health.
Say hello to the air purifier that will change your view of air purifiers forever. Equipped with the most advanced photocatalysis nanotechnology and negative ion technology, AIRbox is designed to clean the air around you.
AIRbox is the first compact air purifier with patented photocatalyst reactor and negative ion generator. Not only can it reduce allergens (such as germs, virus, and bacteria), but it can also remove bad smell, harmful chemicals (VOCs / Formaldehyde), and mold spores. It is silent, energy efficient, and easy to use. What’s more, it has a washable filter that you never need to replace. While you can potentially place a space hogging air purifier in every single room, we offer a better solution: a personal and portable air purifier that is so small that you can put it in your pocket. AIRbox helps you breathe cleaner air anytime, anywhere!
The inventor, Wayne, saw his friends and family suffering allergies and health issues due to poor indoor air quality. In addition, the traditional HEPA purifiers available on the market are not able to destroy harmful chemicals in the air, which can lead to asthma, headaches, heart disease, and cancer. With 20 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, he devoted his time to develop a patented nano reactor activated by UV LED light. The nano reactor offers a 2 in 1 purification: it breaks down harmful particles into harmless molecules, and releases negative ions into the air to reduce the PM2.5 level.
AIRbox is not rocket science; it’s just science that gets put into good use. AIRbox keeps the air clean in three steps:
Step 1. Washable Air Filter Traps Large Dust Particles
When air enters AIRbox, it’s first filtered by our unique washable air filter. No more spending money on buying replacement filters! Just rinse it with tap water and air dry before putting it back into the device.
Step 2. Patented Nano Reactor Destroys Pollutants and Harmful Chemicals
A chemical reaction is created when our patented nano reactor is activated by UV LED light. Pollutants and harmful chemicals are broken down into harmless molecules as they pass through the nano reactor.
Step 3. Negative Ion Generator Reduces PM2.5 Level
Finally, AIRbox has a negative ion generator that will release 20 million ions per second into the air. The negative ions will attach themselves to PM2.5 particles in the air, making them too heavy to remain airborne. The air outlet also generates cyclonic air flow, promoting better air circulation.
Did we mention the AIRbox uses a washable air filter? The unique metal filter is designed to be used for the lifetime of the device. It means you don’t have to spend extra money on buying replacement filters. You can rinse the filter with tap water and put it back into the device after air dry. This wonderful design is budget-friendly and eco-friendly.
Asthma and running nose are not the only symptoms of bad air quality. You might be surprised by some of the health issues that can also be caused by poor air. Even if you don’t experience any problems, having unpleasant odors might keep visitors away from your house. AIRbox is the right choice for you if you…
Pollutant levels are higher inside the cars because cars take in emissions from surrounding vehicles and recirculate them. Studies have shown that as much as half of the pollutants inside cars come from the vehicles immediately ahead, especially if those vehicles are heavy polluters, such as diesel trucks. Pollutants can enter the car cabin through air vents and other openings since vehicles are not manufactured to be air tight.
Here are the top pollutants commonly found in the car:
Whether you’re on the road or at home, whether you’re working or sleeping, you can use AIRbox anywhere you go to keep the air clean around you. Use it to keep your office smelling fresh; to get rid of toxic air in your car; to remove mold spores from your bathroom; to get rid of odors from your shoe cabinets; to remove dust mites from the nursery. All you need is a place to plug in a USB cable and you can deploy the AIRbox anywhere.
In order to test the effectiveness of AIRbox, an experiment was done to prove that it could remove mold spores in the air. We prepared two separate plastic containers and put one slice of toast in each, but had AIRbox running in only one of them. After a few days, the slice of bread with no AIRbox had significantly more mold growth.
AIRbox is proven to make a great achievement in VOCs removal. The below graph shows that AIRbox was able to remove 99% of formaldehyde in SGS Certification Test.
AIRbox demonstrates the ability to reduce bacteria counts in the air. SGS verified that it has 99% elimination rate on staphylococcus aureus bacteria.
Initially we will offer two color choices: Matte Black and Metallic Silver. But we know two colors are just boring! We want to be able to provide more color selections to you! However, we need your support to make it happen. If the campaign exceeds the goal of $200,000, we will add the following color selections: Peacock Blue, Golden Orange, and Champagne Gold!
In this modern world, we are constantly exposed to pollutants and harmful chemicals. While many people are dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle through routine exercises and well-balanced diets, they often ignore the air quality around them. We hope to bring awareness and educate everyone about the detrimental effects of poor air quality. We wish the knowledge and the product we deliver will help you and your love ones live a healthier life. Bring an AIRbox with you wherever you go and make AIRbox a necessity!
Ideas never get realized? Issues finding a factory for production? These things would never happen with our project, because we’ve put in the effort to put our ideas into reality and we already have the first batch of products in hands. We have established a long-term working relationship with the factory for many years, and for many of our existing products.
However, we do aware of possible risks that can still impact the most well-planned project, which includes:
Supply Chain Risk – Sometimes a machine or tool could break, factory loses power due to weather condition, or suppliers deliver wrong materials. These things happen from time to time and can affect how long it takes to build our products. Maybe we will get a million orders and our factory may not produce all the goods on time. Sounds like a good problem to have and we hope we get there, and we will do our best to keep our promises on the delivery time frame.
Shipping Risk – Shipping could be delayed due to holidays or other issues occurred during transit.
We promise to give you full transparency whenever a problem occurs. We will keep you up to date with our latest news and deadlines.

The patented nano-reactor contains a high-quality brushless fan and LED UV light. Both will last more than 40,000 hours – that’s more than 4.5 years!
We work with our partner factories to maintain a code of conduct for worker pay, safety, and conditions. External audits are conducted to ensure these standards are always met.
Energy Efficient System
AIRbox is energy efficient and yet highly effective. Even if it’s on 24 hours a day, AIRbox will cost you less than $5/year on energy bills.
