We tested it: The device that cleans almost everything you breathe at home

Clean air at home has long ceased to be a luxury. Studies indicate that the quality of air inside enclosed spaces can be worse than that outside – mainly due to dust, mites, animal dander, allergens, bacteria, and tiny particles floating in the air. The result: Nasal congestion, coughing, fatigue, worsening allergies, and sometimes even impaired sleep and concentration.

But how can you check whether an air purifier – as good as it may be – truly does its job faithfully? That’s what I asked myself when I received the new air purifier from Dr. Gav – TotalClean Deluxe – a device aimed not only at cleaning the air, but at a real improvement in the sense of health at home.

The answer was not long in coming. My daughter suffers from allergies. Not the kind that latch onto a specific substance, but something more general, which causes increased nasal discharge throughout the year – in summer, in winter, and in the seasons in between. So I connected the air purifier and placed it in the living room. She didn’t even notice the new device that was positioned in the corner of the room.

The heart of the device is a True HEPA 360° filter – one of the highest standards in the world of home air filtration. The meaning: Capturing up to 99.97% of the tiny particles in the air, including dust, pollen, allergenic substances, bacteria, and spores. For people with seasonal allergies, sensitivity to dust, or asthma, this is a significant advantage that is felt after a short period of use.

Unlike simple purifiers that filter air from only one direction, the comprehensive filtration allows suction from all directions – which improves the cleaning operation even in active rooms with movement of people and pets.

In the post-corona era, many are looking for an additional layer of protection at home. An air purifier is not a substitute for ventilation or good hygiene, but it does provide a sense of security – especially if elderly people or children live in the home, or if there is a high turnover of people in the house. The very knowledge that the air undergoes continuous filtration contributes to peace of mind.

In actual use, the effect is felt quickly: Less dust in the air, a reduction in the feeling of suffocation, and even fewer irritations in the nose and eyes. In homes with pets, fur and hair almost immediately disappear, which may reduce allergic symptoms in both children and adults.

One of the major advantages of the Dr. Gav air purifier is ease of use. There is no need for complex installation: Plug it into electricity, choose an intensity – and the device works. There are several operating levels, changing lighting options, and even a dedicated compartment for adding essential oils, which allows combining an element of scent and relaxation as well.

The device also creates a light airflow that adds a sense of coolness – a real advantage on hot days or in stuffy rooms.

The TotalClean comes in several sizes, so it is possible to choose a model suitable for a bedroom, a home office, or a large living room.

TotalClean Deluxe 5-in-1 by Homedics at Dr. Gav is an air purifier focused on health above all. It is not the cheapest in the category, but it provides quality filtration, real relief from allergies, and a sense of cleaner, healthier air at home. For those looking for a daily solution to improve air quality – this is the right choice.

And how did it work for us at home in the self-test? In the weeks after the air purifier was introduced into the living room, my daughter experienced a prolonged break from the endless runny nose and frequent sneezing that had been part of the phenomenon. The improvement was not immediate and was fully felt only after several weeks of use. The allergy did not leave my daughter, but when she is at home, she enjoys a comforting respite.
