The Professional Air Disinfection Purifier AF-09 comes with a charger. The tip of this charger seems to be universal enough that it is likely to be easily found on the market in the event of a breakdown. The output itself is 145 watts.

Design

If most Air purifier, or purificadores de aire products are square, it is different from the Professional Air Disinfection Purifier AF-09. The AF-09 chose a tube shape with a white color. The entirety of the Professional Air Disinfection Purifier AF-09 itself is made of ABS plastic which is not very sturdy. I myself would be quite careful not to drop the device as it could crack or break.

The Professional Air Disinfection Purifier AF-09 is 450 mm or about the knee height of an adult. The weight itself is quite light which is no more than 2 kg and is easy to lift anywhere. With a white color, it looks like this device must be cleaned often because it will make dust stick to the sides.

At the top there is a grille to blow out fresh air that has been filtered. In that section there is also a control panel with touch functions. Of course, this touch panel can also be operated directly using an internet connection. Under the grille is a large fan.

At the bottom there is a container filled with filters. This filter itself consists of 3 parts, namely Pre-filter, HEPA, and active carbon. The pre filter is responsible for filtering out large dirt such as hair and dust. HEPA itself will filter particles measuring 0.3 microns such as viruses and bacteria.

The third filter is active carbon which will filter out odors and other harmful gases. The Professional Air Disinfection Purifier AF-09 also has ultraviolet light on the inside. This light itself is able to kill almost all viruses, bacteria, and germs in the air. This of course makes the exhaled air cleaner.

A quality air purifier can remove several types of indoor air pollutants, thereby helping to keep the body healthy.

Quoting from the WebMD page, a quality air purifier is one that has a HEPA technology filter. This filter can remove 99.7 percent of airborne particles in the room.

This HEPA filter can also produce several short-term and long-term health benefits.

HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air. A HEPA filter is a type of air filter that works by forcing air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and tobacco smoke.

Using a HEPA filter at home can remove most particulate matter in the air that can make allergies worse. HEPA can also get rid of the source of allergies and irritation.

Quoting from the amerisleep.com page, an air purifier with a HEPA filter has the following benefits:

• Relieves asthma symptoms

The first benefit of an air purifier is to help relieve asthma symptoms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 12 people worldwide has asthma. Asthma can come from pollutants such as pet dander, pollen, or dust mites.

• Removes harmful chemicals from the indoor environment

Air purifiers are useful to help remove harmful chemicals from the indoor environment. Closing the doors and windows of the house does not mean getting rid of external pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide.

• Neutralizes bad odors

Neutralizing unpleasant odors is one of the functions of an air purifier. Some chemicals such as gasoline, benzene, and formaldehyde decompose at room temperature causing unpleasant odors.

Next up: The next benefit of an air purifier with a HEPA filter.

• Reduces the chance of airborne diseases

The next benefit of an air purifier is to help reduce the possibility of airborne diseases. Airborne diseases such as the common cold are spread through small, roaming pathogens.

• Improve sleep quality

The benefits of an air purifier can help improve sleep quality. Indoor allergens such as bacteria, mold, and dust mites can trigger allergies or hay fever.

• Eliminates harmful radon

Another benefit of an air purifier is to help remove harmful radon. The decomposition of naturally occurring radioactive elements such as uranium found in certain building materials produces radon gas.

• Removes harmful asbestos particles

Air purifiers also have the benefit of helping to remove harmful asbestos particles. Asbestos roofing material or pipe insulation was common from the 1940s to the 1960s.

• Increase life expectancy

The last benefit of an air purifier is to help increase life expectancy. Indoor air pollution can affect the heart, respiratory and nervous systems.
