Features
Equipped with a sensor that detects odors in the room and automatically adjusts the air purification level. This allows for quicker response to sudden smells, such as cooking odors or pet odors, and ensures the air remains fresh without requiring manual adjustments.
This air purifier does not have an odor sensor function. It operates continuously without automatically adjusting to changes in odor levels. Users cannot rely on it to respond dynamically to new odors.
Equipped with a sensor that detects dust particles in the air and automatically adjusts the air purification level. The air purifier can automatically increase its fan speed when it detects a high concentration of dust, like during cleaning or when opening windows, ensuring efficient particle removal.
