2. True HEPA (H13) Filter: Eliminates at least 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, mold spores, and bacteria.
3. Activated Carbon Filter: Absorbs odors, smoke, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in household cleaning supplies.
4. Anion Technology: Releases negative ions to settle finer particles that might be missed by other filters, further enhancing air purity.
