FAQ
How often do I need to replace the filters?
Typically, the True HEPA filter should be replaced every 6 to 8 months depending on usage and air quality, while the activated charcoal and pre-filters may require replacement or cleaning more frequently to maintain performance.
Is this air purifier effective against wildfire smoke?
Yes, it is designed to reduce particles such as wildfire smoke through its HEPA filter and activated charcoal filter which also helps in minimizing unpleasant odors caused by smoke.

Can this purifier cover multiple rooms or open-plan spaces?
It is optimized for single rooms up to 743 sq. ft; while it may improve air quality in adjacent areas, for best results in open-plan or multi-room spaces, additional units or a higher capacity purifier might be necessary.
