Removes Mold and Pollen, Emits Negative Ions
"I want to see the air quality and always breathe clean air." To fulfill this wish, the air purifier "Mage," equipped with a laser sensor that makes air quality visible, has been announced.
"Mage" clears the "CADR" standard set by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), a metric rarely adopted by Japanese air purifiers. "CADR" indicates the amount of clean air supplied per minute, with the highest values being 450㎥ for cigarette smoke and pollen, and 400㎥ for dust. "Mage" recorded 367.4㎥/h, meaning it can deliver clean air equivalent to an 8-tatami room in approximately 5 minutes.
The air purification mechanism utilizes a 3-layer filter. The first layer, a pre-filter, blocks large airborne particles like hair and dust. The second layer, an H11-grade HEPA filter, removes over 99.5% of pollutants larger than 0.3㎛, including pollen, dust, bacteria, PM2.5, and cigarette smoke. Finally, the third layer, an activated carbon filter, effectively tackles harmful substances like formaldehyde, pet odors, and general household smells.
Furthermore, the laser sensor automatically detects indoor air conditions and displays them numerically on the screen. It also features a negative ion mode.
Operation can be controlled not only via the main panel but also remotely through an app. It supports areas up to 50㎡ (30 tatami mats) and is suitable for homes, offices, and commercial spaces. It visualizes the often-unnoticed air pollution, allowing users to always be in a clean air environment.
