Breathe easier with cleaner air thanks to the HoMedics Air Purifier. This tower air purifier effectively removes up to 99% of airborne allergens as small as 0.3 microns from your living space. These allergens include pollen, dust, pet dander, germs, odors, mold spores, and smoke. A multi-stage filtration system tackles various air impurities. The HEPA-type filter captures microscopic particles, while the activated carbon filter reduces household odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for fresher air. A pre-filter traps larger dust, hair, and other debris. For added purification, UV-C technology eliminates bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungus, and an ionizer further enhances air quality. This air purifier is ideal for bedrooms, home offices, and family rooms, cleaning the air in a 176 square foot room every 12.5 minutes or a larger 853 square foot room once per hour. You can even personalize your air environment by adding your favorite essential oils to the integrated aromatherapy tray.
