3Filters And Performance
Most Austin Air purifiers only come with 4-stage filtration, Austin Air Bedroom Machine lead the way with its 5-stage filtration that provides additional filtration against chemicals and odors. Targeting large contaminants is the mesh permanent filter and inner pre-filter while medium particles filter would obviously target medium-sized particles. Last stage 60 sq.ft. True HEPA filter would eliminate any contaminants that were not trapped by the previous filters. For smoke and odor related contaminants, Austin Air Bedroom Machine 15 lbs. Activated Carbon and Zeolite plus the added HEGA Carbon Cloth would ensure no chemicals would be flown back out in the air.Noise And Energy Usage
