VERY GOOD PURIFIER ESPECIALLY FOR SMOKING REMOVAL
5 Stars
VERY GOOD PURIFIER ESPECIALLY FOR SMOKING REMOVAL
I bought this product because I am smoker and I smoke in my office which is small office..so let me tell you how product doing within my test which is 4 days when I write this review, I switch it to the higher speed with ionizer is on it removes any smoke and smell from the room directly if you leave the office and back again you can't smell any smoking smell, it's do their job in very good performance, the suction is powerful as the video I upload..regarding the purifier sound it is very reasonable it's sound like fan or air condition, at low speed it is very quiet..even at high speed you still can talk by phone or with someone else in your office as some reviewers talk about it is loudy I don't think this is loud noisy purifier.it is made is high quality plastic and it's look very hard and strong.just I would like to highlight that if you will use it in middle ease you need a down step voltage converter like what I did as it is work with 110 volt only....the device not work with 220 volt.
