Nobody is unaware of the increasing pollution in the air as more and more things
around us are getting automated. More vehicles on the road, industries, etc have
only worsened the problem. This air when breathed in on a regular basis is
causing us to fall prey to serious respiratory diseases like asthma, ischaemic
heart disease, etc which then even progress to chronic or lifetime illnesses
in the worst-case scenario.
Interesting fact- Indoor air levels of many pollutants maybe 2-5 times, and occasionally, more than 100 times higher than the outdoor levels.
Many people spend most of their lives indoors. If a person sleeps 8 hours a day, he/she spends one-third of their life just sleeping indoors, which is a 25 years of sleep for a person who lives 75 years.
Needless to say, this calls for the need of an air purifier in every household that not just kills the disease-causing microorganisms but also filters the air of dust and other harmful particulate matter leaving a fresh smell behind.
One such purifier is the amazing GermGuardian
Review
The GermGuardian AC4100 3-in-1 Air Purifier with HEPA Filter, comes with 3 embedded filters-
- UV-C light – This filter kills the fatal disease-causing airborne bacteria, viruses and mold spores. It is tested and proven to kill germs like staph, influenza, and rhinovirus. The titanium dioxide in the filter gets activated by the UV-C light which kills more pathogens.
- HEPA filter – Captures 90% of the air allergens, dust, pet dander and pollen from trees and plants. It captures small-sized air suspended particles as well.
- Pre filter/ Activated Carbon – It gets rid of the gross household and pet odors. It also captures large dust particles and pet hair which extends filter life. Activated carbon also traps harmful VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) present in the air.
Speed-
The air purifier can be operated in 3 speeds, Low, Medium and High. It can be tweaked according to your need. When you leave the house for a while, keeping the filter on High speed is recommended since it is the most effective and rapid in purifying and the increased sound won’t be a problem in your absence.
Low and medium speeds can be used while sleeping and working.
Sound- The sound is unnoticeable in low speed. At high speed, it makes some sound which is noticeable but it’s not annoying.
Maintenance- It demands really less care and maintenance. If you use it regularly on daily basis, you will have to clean the filters by vacuuming. When used daily, the actual filter has to be changed after 6 months and the filter on the air purifier needs to be changed in 1 month.
The compact size of the air purifier fits in all small spaces. The design is sleek, modern and aesthetic and it looks great in every home and office environment. You will feel its magic in a little time of use.
Verdict
The GermGuardian AC4100 3-in-1 Air Purifier with HEPA Filter is the latest and strongest baby out there in the market of several purifiers that claim to clean the air and protect you from airborne diseases. Some of them are a disaster to your ears with really high buzzing or whirring sound that won’t let you have a good night’s sleep or focus on your work.
Many of them falsely claim to have real PETA filter which is really necessary to capture small allergens. The HEPA filter in GermGuardian AC4100 3-in-1 Air Purifier is proven to capture 90% of all the allergens in the air.
Having said that, I would strongly recommend The GermGuardian AC4100 3-in-1 Air Purifier with HEPA Filter to everyone who spends most of their time indoors like in small offices, dorm rooms etc.
We believe that $53.99 is a really small price for a longer and healthier life of not just us, but our loved ones around us as well.
