The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
reported that indoor air can be up to 5 times more polluted than the
air outside. Yet most of us spend 90 percent of our time indoors
exposing our bodies to airborne contaminants. Doctors have said that
the use of a portable air cleaner is a great way to help maintain a
fresher and cleaner home environment.
Our air cleaners take into account what you are looking for:
-HEPA Filtration
-Quiet Operation
-Ionization
-Energy
Star Certification
-Filter Change Reminder
-Sophisticated, Compact Design
-Remote Control (select models only)
-All of our products are also AHAM certified (CADR rated)
HEPA Filtration
This type of filtration is the kind used in submarines and
hospitals—where clean air is needed most. HEPA stands for High
Efficiency Particulate Air. To meet the criteria of a HEPA air
cleaner, the filter must remove airborne particulate as small as 0.3
microns from the air that passes through the filter. There are three
types of HEPA filters: 99%, 99.97% and 99.999%.
Here are some common household particles and their relative size.
0.3 - 1 micron = Tobacco Smoke, Bacteria, Metallic Fumes
1-5 microns = Bacteria and Small Dust Particles
5-10 microns = Mold, Pollen, Medium Dust Particles
10 microns = Large Dust Particles
25 microns = Debris and Dust Particles (visible to the naked eye)
150 microns = Human Hair
Quiet Operation
Our air cleaners utilize a specially designed airflow system including
the blade, motor and filter to help operate quietly on any speed. Our
products achieve a high level of filtration and limit the noise
generated by the product.
Ionization
Our models feature an independent ionizer – which means you can
turn the ionizer on or off whether the air cleaner is running or not.
The ionizer releases negative ions into the air which join with
positively charged particles such as smoke, dust or pollen to form
larger particles that are more readily captured by the HEPA filter.
This helps to keep your home cleaner – without all the hard work!
Filter Change Indicator
Most of our models have a filter change indicator that lets you
know when the filter needs to be replaced. The indicator is easy to
see – it is located on the control panel and lights up when it's time
for a new filter. It takes the guesswork out of filter replacement.
Sophisticated, Compact Design
Bionaire® means refined style and
sophisticated design. Our air cleaning products are versatile, slim,
compact and can be placed just about anywhere. We realize that you
don't want a product that is going to be a focal point in your
décor—rather, our products blend into your home environment and take
up very little space.
Remote Control (select models only)
Some models even feature the added convenience of remote control. This
allows you to select the filtering speed for your air cleaner from
anywhere in your room.
AHAM Certification
AHAM, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers,
independently tests and rates air cleaning products based on the clean
air deliver rate (CADR) or the amount of particulate that is filtered
by the appliance. This helps to identify the efficiency of the
products by room size so that you can make sure you are purchasing an
air cleaner that will suit your home needs. All of our products are
AHAM certified – indicated with the AHAM seal and CADR rating. |
