An air purifier, even at 99.97%* capture rate, is only
effective if it is able to pull large volumes of air through
the unit and dispurse the purified air throughout the
room. Vornado has combined a powerful blower with
precise aerodynamics, to effectively clean all the air in
the room. With Vornado's two stage Carbon and True
HEPA filtration – the air leaving the unit is 99.97%* filtered of airborne particles such as dust, pollen, dander,
smoke, bacteria, mold spores and dust mite debris.
