Filtered Blowers

I finally got a chance today to do a side by side comparison of the KOH HEPA Jet filter blower to Visible Dust’s Zeeion filtered blower. Right off the bat the Zeeion is overall smaller then the HEPA Jet.  The big difference is that the HEPPA Jet has a large HEPA regulator filter attached to its bottom where the Zeeion has a small internal filter. Size does matter here as the small filter in the Zeeion greatly restricts the refill rate of the blower to the point you have to wait about 5 seconds in between each squeeze.  The HEPA filter on the other hand allows a much larger volume of air to pass through much faster due to its much large filter. The HEPA Jet can be used like a regular blower as the delay in filling is almost nonexistent.

The exit valve on the Zeeion is smaller than on the HEPA Jet which in turn give you a lower output volume of air from the Zeeion.

If I felt the need for a filtered blower I would defiantly choose the KOH HEPA Jet over the VisibleDust Zeeion not only because it is about 1/2 the price at $24.95 compared to $45.98, but because it puts out much more air and doesn’t have the long lag time in between squeezes.

VisibleDust does make claims of negative ionization with the Zeeion that we are in the middle of testing for and will report back in the next day or two on.
