Like AG800, AG500 uses a standard 3-stage filtration that includes a pre-filter, carbon filter, and HEPA filter. Firstly the aluminum [aprefilter] grill from the rear would trap dust and hair from flowing pass, follow by a [acarbonfilter] that captures gases and odors. With gases like tobacco smoke, cooking smell, pet odors out of the way, all is left is germs, bacteria, and allergens which the [ahepafilter] would have no issue capturing it. Combining all that, AG500 would operate at a remarkable efficiency rate of up to 40% cleaner air.Noise And Energy Usage
