Cons

–Not Ture-HEPA filter

–No CADR rating

–Poor air change per hour

–Produces ozone, but ionizer can be turned off

–Can’t turn off the ionizer.

–Can’t reset filter reminder before it has accumulated all 5 LED “bars.” Annoying if you want to clean the filter before a reminder tells you to.

– The UV indicator is way
too bright

–The plastic smell when using it the first time. I recommend turning it on the highest speed with the UV-C light turned on for 48 hours.

–Ionizer produces ozone, but you can turn it off

–Could be higher airflow and more fan speeds.

–UV sterilizer may produce a chemical smell. But you can turn it off.

–Not Ture-HEPA filter

–No CADR rating

–Poor air change per hour

–Produces ozone, but ionizer can be turned off
