Aerospace America 9180 Mighty Mite Air Scrubber – 1850 CFM, 1 HP, 94 lbs, SKU 9180

Aerospace America 9180 Mighty Mite Air Scrubber — 1850 CFM, 1 HP, 94 lbs

The Aerospace America 9180 Mighty Mite is the mid-range unit in the Aeroclean product line — 1850 CFM on high speed, 1200 CFM on low speed, driven by a 1.0 HP two-speed thermal-protected motor at 115V, 9.4 running amps. Aircraft-grade aluminum construction reduces weight to 94 lbs at 18″ × 26″ × 33″. Two-speed operation, four handles, and four casters make it practical for single-operator deployment. Xactimate code: AQRS.

Mighty Mite — Sizing It for Your Containment Zone

At 1850 CFM, the 9180 handles containment zones of approximately 2,000–2,500 sq ft (8′ ceilings) at the air change rates IICRC S520 specifies. This covers most residential water damage and mold remediation projects — master bedrooms, basements, commercial offices — as a single-unit deployment. For larger commercial spaces where the 9100 Turbo is oversized or multiple units are preferred over a single large machine, the 9180 pairs well with a second unit for redundant coverage. The 9.4-amp draw leaves headroom on a 15-amp circuit to run a second unit simultaneously on the same circuit (9.4 × 2 = 18.8 amps would exceed capacity — use separate circuits for dual-unit deployment).

Mighty Mite vs. Mighty Mite Full Feature (9180FF) — What Changes

The standard 9180 and the 9180FF use identical motors, blowers, filters, and airflow specs. The FF model adds a red LED high-pressure warning light with an audible alarm that alerts the operator when filter saturation reaches a critical threshold — without requiring anyone to physically check the minihelic gauge. On unsupervised overnight or multi-day containment setups where filter saturation could go unnoticed, the 9180FF’s alarm system provides an additional protection layer. The standard 9180 is appropriate for jobs with regular on-site operator presence.
