TRUE HEPA FILTRATION
VORNADO WHOLE ROOM AIR PURIFIERS FEATURE PRECISION TRUE HEPA CALIBRATION Without properly calibrated airflow, products with a True HEPA Filter will not achieve their full filtration potential. Gaps, poorly sealed filter housings, and excessive air velocity all reduce the effectiveness of the product. Independent testing labratory verifies that the precise calibration of a Vornado Air Purifier allows it to perform at True HEPA standards.
2 STAGE FILTRATION Carbon filtration captures odors and prolongs HEPA filter life. HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger, to effectively clean large volumes of air.
