The High Efficiency Particulate Absorbing (HEPA) filter is top of the range and captures 99.97% of airborne pollutants as small as 0.3 microns in size. This is great if you want to get rid of common allergens such as pet dander, pollen and dust mite waste, which are all over 5 microns in size. 

As well as the HEPA technology, this air purifier has odor control technology, with a washable AOC carbon filter, perfect for getting rid of cooking smells, pet odors or the smell of smoke.  

The next layer of technology involves a specialized PlasmaWave filter, which acts as a permanent filter to safely break down odor, allergens, chemical vapors and other pollutants, without producing harmful ozone. This helps to extend the life of the air purifier, as well as keeping your air as clean as it can be. 

The smart sensors gauge the quality of the air and the Auto Mode responds and adjusts the fan to filter the air as needed. There is a sleep mode for silent night time operation and an LED light that changes in real-time based on air quality.

It measures 14. 9"L x 7. 8"W x 23. 6"H  and weighs 17. 5 lbs, making it portable and convenient. The sleek design makes it a great addition to any room.
