Features
- Misting Function: Utilizes HF vibration (1.7 MHz or 2.4MHz) to shatter water molecules, producing a dry mist without heating or chemical agents. This dry mist helps reduce formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and bacteria, refreshing the air.
- Negative Ion Function: Refreshes the air by neutralizing positive ions often found in air pollution (solid particles, bacteria, chemical fog).
- Photocatalyst Function: Decomposes noxious gases and inorganic compounds, inhibiting bacteria and virus growth, leaving the air fresher and deodorized.
- Box Fan Function: Provides standard airflow.
These functions can be used simultaneously or separately.
