Ideal for those living with sensitivities to dust and allergens, this air purifier delivers cleaner, healthier, more breathable air. Its ultra-quiet fan draws air through a three-stage filter system, helping to remove irritants. More specifically, the unit's True HEPA filter captures 99.97-percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns in size, including pollen, mold, pet dander, and dust, while its special antimicrobial layer provides extra protection against viruses and allergens. Along with filtering the air, the appliance actively cleans indoor air using Plasmacluster Ion technology. The revolutionary technology splits water molecules into positively and negatively charged ions, which spread throughout the room surrounding airborne particles. This system effectively treats the air the way nature cleans the environment near waterfalls or just after a thunderstorm. In addition to purifying the air, the appliance offers an optional humidification function that adds humidity to the air for more comfortable air quality, especially in colder weather when heating systems are in full force. Running about 35 percent more efficiently than standard models, the air purifier has received an Energy Star rating, which means it can operate all the time, saving money while improving the quality of the air.
Even more, the appliance supplies an easy-to-read front display that shows Plasmacluster operation, the humidity level, and a dust monitor. A clean-sign indicator reveals the level of impurities in the air, making it easy to see the purifying process as cleaner air gets put back out into the room. Manual operation lets the user choose among three fan speeds and Quick Clean mode, while automatic operation uses sensors that constantly monitor the air quality in the room, adjusting the fan for air purity while providing the optimum humidity level. The appliance also provides Library Quiet operation--great for bedrooms and living rooms, and Silent mode at about 17 decibels. Other details include a CADR of 230 for dust, 224 for smoke, and 245 for pollen; a capacity for rooms up to 347 square feet; an 8-1/2-pint tank; and a clean-filter indicator. The unit's replaceable filters include a micron mesh pre-filter; a washable deodorizing filter that lasts up to five years; a humidification filter that lasts up to two years; and the ultra-long-life HEPA filter, which requires changing only once every five years, depending on use and room conditions. With a stylish design that will look great in any home or office, the air purifier measures 11-3/8 by 15-3/4 by 24-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
