- H11 HEPA Filter: Removes allergens, molds, and microscopic pollutants (PM2.5 & PM10 particles).
- H13 HEPA Filter: High-efficiency filter that removes 99.99% of allergens and microscopic pollutants above 0.1 microns, including PM2.5 and pollens.
- Anti-bacterial Filter: Captures harmful viruses and bacteria.
- Activated Carbon Filter: Absorbs formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), unwanted odors, toxic gases, fumes, smoke, cooking smells, and pet odors.
