Moonbow AP-A8608UIA Air Purifier – My Pick
Global warming threat is real and we cannot hide behind any silly excuse to ignore this. Increasing air pollution has already resulted in increased chances of lung and heart diseases in children and elderly. Many countries have adopted a few methods to tackle this situation.
Government Attempt to curb air pollution: A great example was the recently organized Odd-Even scheme in Delhi. Such steps are well appreciated, but not enough to tackle the problem looming around us. The corporate pressure is so strong that politicians fear to take strong actions.
Immediate Pollution Threat: We do hope that someday collective progression will solve this problem. However, what you would protect your family members until the day comes? How would you save children from harmful particles in the air?
Planting tree is a good notion, but that is for the entire society. Here, the problem is standing right there on your house door. Even you want to ignore, you cannot because the air pollution problem is the biggest health hazard around the world.
Well, for an immediate solution, you can buy an air purifier. You might ask me for a recommendation. Yes, dear reader, I do have a good product to suggest you.
Moonbow has recently launched the AP-A8608UIA Air Purifier, which can provide some level of relief in few selected circumstances. However, do care to read this review until the end because incomplete knowledge of any technology can be harmful here.
It is priced at a whopping 28290 rupees. Therefore, one thing is clear not everyone can afford it.
This Air Purifier has a Five Stage Purification Systems
This purifier works on a 5-stage purification system. It features five layers of specialized materials stacked horizontally one after another. The air first passes through the pre-filter that removes large visible particles. In the second stage, the HEPA cleans the air of small and tiny particles of dust. The second stage filter features the same materials, which are used making of air filters for automobiles.
Now, the air moves through the Activated Carbon filter that the manufacturer has molded into the honeycomb shape to provide large surface area. At this moment, the air is free from around 99.985 percent of all particles above 0.3-micron size, which also includes PM 10 and PM 2.5.
In the fourth stage, an UV lamp tries to kill all bacteria by ripping their DNA apart. Finally, the Energizing refresher makes sure that the air is not only clean but also smells good.
Supports Large but Enclosed Rooms: According to the manufacturer, this purifier is capable of covering an area equivalent of 500 sq. ft., which is a lot. However, there is a catch. The room needs to be enclosed properly. This means you cannot use this device to clean air of veranda.
Yes! This Power Air Purifier has a Smart Brain
The smart controls of this purifier have really impressed me. Firstly, the manufacturer supplies a remote in the box, which is a prudent thinking in itself. Secondly, this purifier detects the quality of the room air in real time and displays it on the indicator panel.
In addition, there are a number of settings to play with. You can also set the machine to turn off automatically after a period use thanks to the inbuilt timer feature. Furthermore, users get to turn off the UV chamber independently if they believe that the air around them is germs-free. This will certainly lower the power consumption. Speaking of which, this purifier consumes just 70 watts of power at the maximum settings.
You get to choose from four different fan speeds. Do not worry if you are unsure about which speed setting best suits your room. Just hit the auto button on the remote or on the purifier and the machine will take care of that automatically.
Lights can be annoying during the night. That is why the machine comes with a sleep mode function that turns off all the LEDs without affecting the air purification process. In addition, even the fan will not disturb while you are sleeping since it is super silent machine does air purification without making noise.
Moonbow Purifier has an Efficient and Attractive Design
I do not think that any other manufacturer in the world could have come up with a more pleasing design than Moonbow. This purifier just blows the mind on the very first look. You can freely place it alongside a sofa or on a wall. Trust me its super cool design will enhance the beautiful decoration of the room. In fact, it adds to the beauty of the room. The elegant LED system provides a futuristic look to the whole setup.
Two years of free Service:This product is made up of quality materials, so do not worry about its durability. For your satisfaction, the manufacturer offers two years of cumulative warranty on this air purifier device.
Easy To Maintain: The machine is clever enough to notify the users if any of the filters is blocked or damaged. Replacing and cleaning of filters requires no expertise. Just remove the front panel of the device and you will get access to all the filters.
