MARLBOROUGH, Mass.,
Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Homes, both new and old, can host a range of airborne
impurities, from outdoor allergens like mold spores and pollen, to
indoor contaminants like dust, smoke, and pet dander. These
pollutants have a knack for finding their way into all rooms of the
house. The new Honeywell Compact AirGenius 4 Air Cleaner offers a
convenient and powerful solution to help combat these air quality
issues.
A slightly smaller version of the popular Honeywell AirGenius 4
Tower Air Cleaner, the Compact AirGenius 4 provides the same great
performance for rooms up to 150 sq. ft., removing up to 99.9% of
airborne pollutants, as small as 0.3 microns, from the air that
passes through its filter. This compact air cleaning device
also captures odors and common household volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), such as fumes from household cleaners, paint, new flooring
products, etc. The slim design is perfect for tighter spaces
and for average–sized bedrooms.
"According to the EPA, indoor air can be two to five times, and
even up to 100 times, more polluted than outdoor air.1
With Americans spending about 90 percent of their time
indoors2, air cleaning and purifying devices can be an
important tool to help maintain cleaner, fresher air in the
home. This is particularly important for anyone with
sensitivities to pet dander, dust, smoke or pollen," said Dr.
Ted Myatt, ScD, an environmental
health specialist.
Room size (square footage) is a key factor in determining the
right air purifier for your space. All Honeywell Air
Purifiers and Air Cleaners are 3rd party independently
tested to circulate the room air 5 times per hour in the device's
stated room size. Engineered for rooms up to 150 sq.
ft., the new Honeywell Compact AirGenius 4 Air Cleaner is ideal for
bedrooms, offices, or smaller living spaces.
The Honeywell Compact AirGenius 4 Air Cleaner combines
convenience and exceptional performance. The AirGenius 4s smart
controls actually help do the thinking for you so you don't have to
guess which cleaning level should be used. Select from four
different settings based on your specific need—Sleep, General,
Allergen and Max—for powerful and efficient room air cleaning.
Based on the selected setting, the air purifier adjusts to draw
particles in at the right level in order to optimize the filter's
performance.
The exclusive, patented ifD® technology featured in
the Honeywell Compact AirGenius 4 Air Cleaner is a fan-forced
electronic filtration system that effectively captures up to 99.9
percent of the microscopic airborne particles (0.3 microns and
larger) that pass through the filter, including mold spores,
pollen, dust, smoke and pet dander. The air purifier's permanent
ifD® filter is extremely quiet which makes it a perfect
choice for bedrooms. It is easy to maintain – simply rinse
the filter to clean it every 3 months – saving money on replacement
filters. A filter indicator light will illuminate when it is time
to clean the filter. The compact unit also has an oscillation
setting and can be set to automatically shut off after two, four or
eight hour cycles. A dimmer feature allows the user to
dim the control panel lights when used in a bedroom or other space
where less brightness is desired.
