Design, size, placement
The Oransi Finn air purifier is designed to save space. Oransi says: “We invested heavily in design to bring you an air purifier you are proud to show off and not hide behind the couch. In addition, we have removed wasted space to make it more compact and powerful than other tower air purifiers.” With its tower design, it can be placed in different spots. Don’t place it close to the wall to avoid air inlet and outlet blocking. Height is 22 inches (56cm), width is 10 inches (24cm), depth is 7 inches (18cm).
The Oransi Finn is lightweight only 10lbs (4.5kg) and with a built-in carrying handle, it is easy to move an air purifier around your home.
How it works and what sources of indoor pollution destroy
The Oransi V-HEPA Finn air purifier uses a fan to move air through filters.
First is titanium dioxide pre-filter that captures large airborne particles and absorbs light smoke, odor-causing compounds, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It will not help with heavy odors. Also, pre-filter helps to extend HEPA filter life.
Second is the High-efficiency HEPA filter. This filter removes 99.97% of pollutant particles as small as 0.3 microns and larger. This filter is an extended-life that can be vacuumed until it is time to replace it.
The Oransi Finn has also germicidal UV light. It sterilizes HEPA filter – destroys harmful bacteria, germs, viruses, etc. The UV lamp also works with the pre-filter to break down germs and VOC’s through oxidation.

Maintenance and upkeep
The pre-filter is long-lasting, this filter can be vacuumed clean and lasts up to 8 months, depending on use.
HEPA Filter life is 1 to 2 years (recommend dusting/lightly vacuum every 1-2 months for best performance).
Both filters are easy to change. The pack with 1 HEPA filter and 3 pre-filters with normal use costs around $45/year.
The quartz UV lamp has a life of 12-15 months. New cost $30. The lamp consumes only 5 watts.
The Oransi Finn is energy star qualified and is 40% more efficient than conventional non-energy star models. An air purifier consumes only 55 watts at the highest speed. That is really not much.
