Q: Is the air purifier noisy?
A: It uses a combination of a Level 3 HEPA Filter alongside an Anion Generator to purify the air. The Level 3 HEPA Filter works by forcing air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and tobacco smoke. The Anion Generator works alongside the HEPA filter to emits negative ions—charged particles—from the unit that seek out and attach themselves to tiny particles such as dust and bacteria to help the HEPA filter trap more contaminants in your indoor environment, thus making twice as effective.

A: When plugged into the wall outlet the highest setting, it consumes around 25-50 watts per hour. With 24 hours of daily operation, the electricity will be around $3-5 a month or $36-60 annually. If you are concerned about electricity consumption, we recommend setting the unit on a timer and taking full advantage of the cordless feature by doing 8 hours on and 8 hours off.
