What Changes Between Home, Office and Clinic Product Lines

One product line doesn't fit every setting. See how the Reno 500S and Pro 800S differ and how to match a product line to your coverage need.

Short answer: AIRE's product lines differ mainly in coverage area and the setting they are built for, not in core filtration technology. The Reno 500S suits a home bedroom or living space up to 40 square metres, while the Pro 800S is built for larger halls and hospital wards up to 96 square metres, and each line is matched to its setting rather than interchangeable.

Key takeaways

  • Product lines differ mainly in coverage area and target setting, not core filtration approach.
  • The Reno 500S is a home product; the medical range, Fillo Plus, Classic 400S and Pro 800S, is built for clinics, offices and larger halls.
  • H13 medical-grade HEPA and active sterilisation principles run across the range.
  • Matching coverage to floor area matters more than choosing based on brand reputation alone.
  • The size calculator confirms which line and model fits a specific room.

Why one product line doesn't fit every setting

A bedroom, a clinic waiting room and a hospital ward are different spaces with different coverage needs, different expectations around noise, and different contexts for how the unit will be used day to day. A single product line trying to serve all three would end up compromised somewhere, either too small for a large hall or unnecessarily bulky for a home bedroom.

AIRE's range is built around this reality rather than against it. Home products are designed for quiet, everyday household use in a bedroom or living space. The medical range, Fillo Plus, Classic 400S and Pro 800S, is built for clinical and commercial settings, sized for consult rooms, waiting areas and larger halls respectively.

Understanding this split up front makes it easier to know which line to start comparing within, rather than browsing the whole range without a clear starting point.

Comparing the Reno 500S for homes against the Pro 800S for larger halls

The Reno 500S is AIRE's newest home purifier, built for 20 to 40 square metres with six-stage protection, Smart Auto sensing, 360-degree intake and a whisper-quiet sleep mode designed with babies and expecting mothers in mind. It is sized and designed for a bedroom or living space, not a commercial or clinical setting.

The Pro 800S sits at the other end of the range, built for 56 to 96 square metres with H13 medical-grade HEPA, a PM2.5 sensor and dual intake, intended for hospitals and large halls. It is part of AIRE's medical range alongside the Classic 400S and Fillo Plus, which cover offices, waiting rooms and consult rooms respectively.

The gap between these two products reflects the gap between their intended settings, not simply a difference in size for its own sake.

What stays constant across the range and what changes

What stays constant across AIRE's range is the underlying filtration approach: H13 medical-grade HEPA filtration combined with active sterilisation, rather than passive trapping alone. Every model in the range is built around this same principle, whether it is sized for a bedroom or a hospital ward.

What changes between models is coverage area, specific feature sets suited to the target setting, and design details relevant to where the unit is meant to sit. A home product prioritises quiet overnight operation and child-safe design; a medical-range product prioritises coverage for a clinical or commercial room and features like a PM2.5 sensor for monitoring a larger space.

Recognising which elements are consistent and which vary by model helps set expectations correctly when comparing two products from different ends of the range.

Matching a product line to your specific coverage need

The starting point for choosing between product lines is the setting itself, not a general sense of which model sounds most capable. A home bedroom or living space points toward the Reno 500S. A clinic consult room, waiting area or office points toward the medical range, specifically Fillo Plus for rooms up to 30 square metres, Classic 400S for 31 to 54 square metres, or Pro 800S for 56 to 96 square metres.

Business and clinical settings should stay within the medical range rather than substituting a home product, since the medical range is what is built for that context. Once the setting is clear, coverage area within that line narrows the choice to a specific model.

Getting the calculator to confirm the right fit

Once a product line is identified based on setting, the free Air Purifier Size Calculator confirms the specific model within that line. The method is straightforward: required CADR in cubic metres per hour equals floor area in square metres multiplied by ceiling height in metres multiplied by a target air changes per hour, with recommended targets of 3 to 4 for homes, 4 to 5 for offices, 5 or higher for clinics, and 6 or higher for dental or procedure rooms.

Running an actual room through the calculator is more reliable than estimating by eye, particularly for an irregular layout or a room with a higher ceiling than average.

For a business setting, a free room-by-room Air Report gives a supplier-confirmed sizing recommendation rather than a self-service estimate alone.

Frequently asked

Why doesn't one product line fit every setting?

A bedroom, a clinic waiting room and a hospital ward have different coverage needs, noise expectations and everyday contexts, so a single product trying to serve all three would end up compromised somewhere. AIRE splits its range into a home line and a medical range built for clinical and commercial settings for this reason.

What stays constant across the product range?

H13 medical-grade HEPA filtration combined with active sterilisation, rather than passive trapping alone, is the constant underlying every model in AIRE's range, from home to medical-range products. What changes between models is coverage area and feature sets suited to the specific setting each one is designed for.

How is a product line matched to a specific coverage need?

Start with the setting: a home bedroom or living space points toward the Reno 500S, while a clinic, office or larger hall points toward the medical range, Fillo Plus, Classic 400S or Pro 800S depending on coverage area. Once the line is identified, the size calculator confirms the specific model within it.

Can a home product like the Reno 500S be used in a clinic instead of the medical range?

No, business and clinical settings should use AIRE's medical range, Fillo Plus, Classic 400S or Pro 800S, rather than a home product like the Reno 500S. The medical range is specifically built for clinical and commercial rooms, and matching the right line to the setting is part of getting proper coverage.
