Product Specifications
Size & Weight
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.
While the product includes a deodorization filter, it lacks a dedicated odor sensor function that automatically adjusts the purification level based on detected odors. The air quality sensor responds to particulate matter, but not specifically to 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.
The air quality sensor functions as a dust sensor, automatically adjusting the air purification level based on detected particulate matter. This ensures efficient particle removal, especially during activities that generate dust, like cleaning.
Displays the concentration of PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) in the air. Allows you to visually monitor the air quality in your room. You can use this information to better understand the effectiveness of the air purifier and take appropriate actions based on real-time air quality data.
The product lacks a dedicated PM2.5 display function. While the air quality sensor provides real-time feedback via a colored LED, it does not show the specific concentration of PM2.5 in the air, limiting precise monitoring capabilities.
Indicates when the filter needs to be replaced. This ensures that the air purifier operates at optimal efficiency. Prevents reduced air purification performance due to a clogged filter, maintaining consistent air quality.
The filter replacement indicator ensures that the air purifier operates at optimal efficiency by signaling when it's time to replace the filters. This prevents reduced performance due to clogged filters and maintains consistent air quality over time.
Disables the control panel to prevent unintended changes to the settings. This prevents children from accidentally turning off the air purifier or changing the settings. Provides peace of mind when the air purifier is placed in areas accessible to children.
The product lacks a child lock function. This means there's no way to disable the control panel to prevent unintended changes to the settings, which may be a concern for households with young children.
Reduces the operating noise and dims the display lights for quiet operation during sleep. Allows for comfortable use in the bedroom without disturbing sleep. This is ideal for those who are sensitive to noise or light while sleeping.
The Eco mode can function similarly to a sleep mode by reducing operating noise and saving energy when no pollution is detected for 30 minutes. The fan will automatically stop, making it suitable for use during sleep for those sensitive to noise.
