Smoke Eraser vs Smoke Trap+: Which Sploof Is Actually Longest-Lasting?
Smoke Trap+ calls itself "industry leading" and "longest lasting." Those are interesting words to choose. Here's what their product actually delivers.
How Smoke Trap+ Works
Smoke Trap+ has a prefilter screen and a replaceable HEPA+carbon filter cartridge. The outer unit is reusable. The filter is not. When it wears out, you replace it.
Worth noting: the prefilter screen Smoke Trap uses was actually developed by Smoke Eraser. It's half of the 2-piece prefilter system we developed in 2018. We actually built this category they're claiming to lead.
How Smoke Eraser Works
Smoke Eraser has a removable prefilter that limits moisture and residue from reaching the HEPA filter. That 2-piece prefilter is one of the biggest differences between the designs. Light to average users may never even clog it.
There's also an optional Docking Station that dries the HEPA filter overnight. It's not required. It's just there for anyone who wants to push lifespan even further.
"Longest Lasting" vs Actually Longest Lasting
Smoke Trap+ having a prefilter screen is a step up from sending everything directly into the primary filter. Smoke Eraser uses a 2-piece prefilter, a repeatedly dryable HEPA filter, and an optional Docking Station. Those are the differences that matter here. And Smoke Eraser does it in a unit roughly half the size.
Cost Over Time
Smoke Eraser is comparably priced, while Smoke Trap's replacement filters are a recurring cost. Smoke Eraser instead gives you ways to extend the life of the same unit.
Size
Smoke Eraser is roughly half the size of most competitors. More portable, easier to use discreetly.
