Winix HR1000 5-stage filtration is great for owners with allergies and pets. The permanent pre-filter would first capture large particles e.g. dust, fur while prolonging other filters lifespan. Smokes and odors that bypass the pre-filter would now be captured by Coated Deodorization carbon filter. With many of the airborne particles and allergens captured, the anti-microbial coated True HEPA filter will deal with those uncapture pollutants mainly the smaller micron size while halting any bacteria from growing onto the filter. Wrapping things up is Winix PlasmaWave Technology that generates Hydroxyl to neutralize any trapped allergens and gases without creating any harmful ozone.Winix HR1000 is covered against
