Product Description
Founded in 2004 in Los Angeles, California, Rabbit Air has dedicated its time, energy, and resources to perfecting a product that improves quality of life: the air purifier. Our undivided attention and dedication to air purification is why we have become one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S., ranked as such six times by INC. magazine.
BioGS 2.0 Ultra Quiet HEPA Air Purifier
Recipient of the Red Dot, G-Mark, and Chicago Athenaeum Good Design awards, Rabbit Air's quiet and impeccable BioGS 2.0 HEPA air purifier improves your environment by stripping it of harmful particles and pollutants. Four stages of filtration and deodorization and lifetime 24/7 tech support will have you breathing a clean sigh of relief.
Designed by Indio da Costa and Till Tupak
Industrial designer Guto Indio da Costa’s concept of "flow" resonates throughout the BioGS 2.0. The curvaceous body of the air purifier reflects its relatively simplistic but comprehensive functionality, and its clean, cool, and straightforward style. By reimagining the air purifier's structure and streamlining its bells and whistles, da Costa has steered the Rabbit Air BioGS 2.0 towards growth and progress, with a design that’s easy to use, less intrusive, and aesthetically pleasing.
BioGS 2.0 Ultra Quiet HEPA Air Purifier
Award winning design
Reintroduced in 2013 after the BioGS Classic was discontinued, the BioGS 2.0 design took consideration of all fundamental facets of our product, including the air purifier's shape and form, interface, and functionality. We also ruminated on its impact on the environment, which led us towards a more holistic approach, cutting back on light and sound pollution generated by the air purifier to ensure that while it takes pollutants from the environment, it leaves nothing but clean air in return.

Advanced HEPA Filtration
Typical HEPA air purifiers trap allergens and contaminants, which accumulate on the filter and interfere with efficiency. The BioGS HEPA filter traps and reduces common allergens* to support optimum filter efficiency and prolong filter life.
BioGS HEPA Filter vs. typical True HEPA Filter
Typical True HEPA filter:
- Traps allergen and particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency and over 99% efficiency for particles less than 0.1 microns
BioGS HEPA Filter:
- Traps allergen and particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency and over 99% efficiency for particles less than 0.1 microns**
- Reduces buildup of common allergens including dust mites, mold, pollen and pet dander* trapped on the filter
- Reduces the growth of bacteria and viruses on the filter***
- Prolongs optimal filter efficiency
*Test samples: mite allergen (Der f2), cedar pollen allergen (Cry j1), 4 types of mixed spores (Aspergillus niger, Penicillium citrinum, Chaetomium globosum, Myrothecium verrucaria), Cat allergen (fel d1)
** Test data shows our HEPA filter (brand new or like-new) can trap particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency. Research data shows True HEPA filters can trap particles less than 0.1 microns in size at higher than 99% efficiency. For more info, see "Guidance for Filtration and Air-Cleaning Systems to Protect Building Environments from Airborne Chemical, Biological, or Radiological Attacks" by Department of Health and Human Services, pp. 11–12, or visit Rabbit Air’s website for details.
***Test samples: type A influenza virus(H1N1), Escherichia Coli, Staphyllococcus aureus
4-Stage Filtration
Stage 1 - Pre-filter (washable and permanent):
The Pre-Filter effectively traps and reduces large sized allergens, dust, and particles.
Stage 2 - BioGS HEPA Filter:
The BioGS HEPA filter traps airborne particles down to 0.3 microns in size, 99.97% of the time, and reduces common allergens to support optimum filter efficiency and prolong filter life.
Stage 3 - Charcoal-Based Activated Carbon Filter*:
Made of high-grade granular activated carbon, our AC filter is much more effective than typical AC filters, which are coated with a thin layer of activated carbon. Chemicals and common household odors can be effectively reduced.
Stage 4 - Negative Ion Generator:
Produces beneficial negative ions to fortify the air you breathe and freshen your indoor environment.

Top–notch customer service
Made in Korea, not China
Impressive performance – but realize that the CADR (clean air delivery rate) is lower than some other purifiers
Not, repeat NOT intended for large rooms. Made for smaller rooms.
I'm very impressed with the quality of this BioGS 2.0 air purifier. Online research told me that the giant South Korean air purifier company, Coway, manufactures the BioGS 2.0 and Rabbit Air engineers design the filters. That's a major plus in my book. I tend to avoid Chinese–made air purifiers if given a choice because of quality issues. Anyone who recalls the 2007 pet food recalls and animal deaths worldwide due to Chinese melamine contamination knows what I'm talking about.
The BioGS 2.0 is ideal for small to moderate sized rooms. It is not intended for large rooms or "open spaces" in big houses. If you expect this air purifier to do an adequate job in a large room, you'll be disappointed. Instead, I would consider an Oransi air purifier, Alen's Breathesmart or a Blueair Classic 400, 500, or 600 series air purifier.
The minute you open the box, you realize the BioGS 2.0 is a high quality product. The packaging is superb to protect what's inside. The Quickstart Guide and User Manual are easily digested because they're filled with drawings and easy-to-understand English. It should be noted here that Rabbit Air is considered to have one of the top customer service centers in the air purifier business. That says a lot. You are paying for that Los Angeles–area based service, staffed by Americans who speak English. Check Amazon's Customer Reviews for some other air purifier brands and you'll read angry remarks from frustrated customers who cannot get any help. The BioGS 2.0 is a very quiet air purifier because of its BLDC (brushless direct current) motor. Even on Level #4 or #5 it's quieter than many other brands.
This is a fully automated air purifier. There's a touchscreen LED panel on top as well as a remote. Read the instruction booklet and you quickly get up to speed on how to operate the BioGS 2.0. Folks, there are plenty of electronic controls and displays (Air quality indicator, fan speed, auto mode, timer, and Negative ion on/off button) but they are very easy to learn and master.
There is a four–stage filter system: a permanent pre–filter that is easily cleaned using a vacuum on low power (and washable, too), a carbon filter (apparently about a pound of carbon here), a true HEPA filter containing germicidal chemicals to help slow the growth of viruses and bacteria on the filter, and a negative ionizer which can be switched off.
If you run your air purifier 24/7 as I do, Rabbit Air indicates the BioGS HEPA and charcoal filter should be replaced every 18 months. If you smoke, own pets, or have a different source of odors, you will probably need to change the charcoal filter sooner than that. Rabbit air filters are available from Amazon or directly from the company's web site. That's extremely important. If you've ever purchased a much less expensive air purifier and discovered that replacement filters are no longer produced - you know the frustration.
Finally, I considered purchasing other air purifiers before choosing Rabbit Air.
Sweden-based Blueair makes some excellent products but I really wanted an air purifier with a pre-filter that I can periodically clean with a vacuum. The pre-filter PROTECTS the very important HEPA and charcoal filters. Thewirecutter.com tested the Blueair Classic 503 model and it clogged with considerable dust buildup (because there's no pre–filter.) Mind you, thewirecutter.com did not choose a Rabbit Air model as its top pick – but, I believe, the BioGS 2.0 is a very good choice for smaller and moderate-sized rooms. Rabbit Air's Minus A2 air purifiers are a better option for larger rooms. Coway's Airmega line of air purifiers are excellent and remind me of Rabbit Air (especially since Coway makes the Rabbit Air units). Rabbit Air's MinusA2 air purifiers are a better choice for larger rooms. The Alen Breathesmart appears to be a top–notch contender, but research tells me it's made in China and can be quite loud. The Alen Breathesmart would be suitable for a larger room since it can clean a larger space, faster, than the BioGS 2.0. The American-made Austin Air HealthMate would appear to be a definite top contender since you turn this unit on and leave it running. (There is a knob to increase the speed of the fan and that's about it.) I would almost refer to this as the "little air purifer that could." It comes with 15 pounds of activated carbon and has been used by the Red Cross and FEMA after 9/11 and during the Porter Ranch gas leak that spewed methane into the air in southern California. But read reviews and you'll spot remarks from owners who face costly repair bills after their units stop working properly. Many companies have reduced customer care in light of rising costs.
If you expect too much out of the BioGS 2.0, you’ll be disappointed. Realize that this machine is intended for smaller rooms such as bedrooms. If you have open spaces, a larger room or heavy cigarette smoke, check out IQ Air's Health Pro (this is probably the Lexus of air purifiers but is much more expensive than the BioGS 2.0), Rabbit Air’s Minus A2 models, an Airmega, an Austin Air Healthmate model, an Oransi, or a Blueair classic air purifier. Good luck.
- Very good sensors. If I make my bed and throw the blanket in the air, I guess there must be dust because the BioGS will kick up a level and get to work. Same if cooking smells waft by, so odor sensor works extremely well too. My room wasn't bad with odor prior to this so I can't say if it's truly great at removing smells. One should probably just clean their room and linens if something stinks in the bedroom.
Pros:
- Quiet on low settings, which it's on most of the time when you leave it on auto. It's easy to forget it's on.
- Aesthetically beautiful. The white and the curves looks very modern and sleek; the way the functions glow and fade off is also pretty.
- Well made design from a utilitarian standpoint. It is simple and easy to open, easy to clean, easy to control. Even the controller is simple and attractive. I just take off the front of the case, wipe down the dust with a microfiber cloth, take out the first two filters (prefilter & charcoal) and vacuum them.
- Works well!! I have nothing but rave things to say about its effects. I no longer wake up with itchy eyes, sneezing, and coughing...which used to be a daily occurrence. You take a deep breath in my bedroom and the air is just...clean! I have kept up with taking off the cover and dusting the inside and vacuuming (on the weakest power setting) the prefilter and the charcoal filter. It's CRAZY to see all the dust stuck on the prefilter, that would otherwise be bothering my lungs.
Cons:
- On high setting, can be very loud, and kinda breezy. Still, that function usually does not last too long before it brings itself back down to a lower setting.
- It's kind of big, but you can say this about MOST air purifiers in existence. My room is 87sq ft, all I can fit is a dresser, full-sized bed, and a doggy bed on the floor. I did not have 2ft clearance as some other reviewers suggest from the wall, however a representative of Rabbit Air that I spoke to online said it was fine to put it closer to the wall...so long as nothing is blocking its intake and outtake. So I put it on my dresser, problem solved! It's a bit big, but its functionality is very much worth it for me.
None of those cons are enough to deduct a star, because it just works so well and is so well designed for me to maintain it. I have not had to replace any filters yet. At the 2 month mark, everything looks just as good as new once I vacuumed it. I expect keeping up with monthly dusting will prolong the life of my current set of filters. The high pricetag of this unit made me nervous but I am beyond pleased with it, it's nice to have a machine that just WORKS and is attractive; other air purifiers I researched were more iffy on quality control among units. So I think I paid for some peace of mind.

Mine are well over a year old and performing perfectly.
What a great product, and remember that indoor air quality is often worse than outdoor quality. You probably need one of these.
It’s very quiet. The highest fan level is Similar to the lowest setting on an a quiet oscillating fan and only runs for a short time. It eliminated the smell of eggs after a big breakfast. We have it in our living room/kitchen. It’s the biggest open space in our suite. We also have shag carpet so this is helping kept the dust under control!

$100CAD for a filter can be seen as steep, but there are two of them and last about 1.5/2 years..
I added a small Houzetek in a small cabinet, strategic place where most of the neighbors' kitchen odors come from, and the two makes a good pair; I have no more rancid garlic / burnt odor from my neighbors since.
Additionally to that, the air inside is better.
For sure it is a certain amount to pay, about $500 is nothing to laugh at, but you have what you paid for and the peace of mind with it.
The unit is silent most of the time, and fully automated (my big tower PC make more noise than it).
It is always possible to manually override it and boost the fan at the max when needed.
