Clean Your Indoor Air Like a Pro: Capture Ultrafine Particles and Heavy-Duty Odors with the Honeywell Professional Series(TM) HEPA Air Purifier

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., March 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Seeing is believing. If you are looking for an easy-to-use, best-in-class air purifier that shows how effectively it is cleaning the air, then look no further than the Honeywell Professional Series(TM) HEPA Air Purifier. Honeywell Air Purifiers are the number one brand recommended by allergists(1). This model delivers exceptional performance for particle removal and odor/VOC reduction and is the premier product in the Honeywell Air Purifier line. Indoor air can be up to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the EPA--and many pollutants are invisible to the human eye. This new model boasts an Air Quality display powered by precision particle and VOC sensors that provides visual cues, so you can see it's working to deliver cleaner air in your home. The Professional Series multi-stage filtration system features two heavy-duty certified HEPA filters that capture up to 99.97 percent of microscopic particles as small as 0.1 microns, with attached carbon filters that deliver 20X more odor and harmful VOC absorption than similar sized models, from the air that passes through the filters2.

"I recommend my patients with allergies or asthma first evaluate their home environment and minimize the sources that generate or hold allergens to reduce exposure. There are multiple ways to reduce the presence of allergens in the home including minimizing the use of fabric and carpet, frequent cleaning and not allowing pets in sleeping areas. One of the ways to help reduce exposure is to use an air purifier in bedrooms and living areas. The Honeywell Professional Series(TM) Air Purifier monitors indoor air conditions with its precision sensors and provides real-time feedback on the air quality in the room with an easy-to-understand color-coded display," said Dr. Bob Geng, a board-certified allergist/immunologist and medical advisor for Honeywell Air Purifiers. "Common household allergens can include grass and tree pollens, dust mite debris, pet dander, and mold spores, and the new Professional Series(TM) air purifier is effective for all of these plus ultrafine pollutants, like smoke, as well as certain viruses and bacteria."

The Honeywell Professional Series(TM) HEPA Air Purifier is a top-performing unit, filtering and circulating the air up to five times per hour. This feature-rich model offers:

    --  Multi-Stage Filtration System: captures more harmful pollutants, even
        certain bacteria, and viruses, as small as 0.1 microns that pass through
        the filters(2). The HEPA filters have an antimicrobial coating that
        helps inhibit bacteria growth on the filters, and built-in heavy-duty
        carbon filters absorb up to 20X more odors and harmful VOCs when
        compared to similarly sized models2.
    --  Precision Sensors: can provide faster purification by continuously
        monitoring the air for pollutants and, when set to Auto Operation mode,
        prompts the air purifier to increase cleaning level to remove them
        rapidly. The easy-to-understand, color-coded Air Quality display
        provides real-time feedback on indoor air quality. You can see it
        working.
    --  Premium Design: the sleek control panel blends beautifully with the
        durable metal housing, giving the air purifier a look of understated
        elegance. Concealed casters allow for smooth movement to different
        locations in the home. This classic design air purifier will filter and
        circulate the air up to 5X per hour in a 325 sq. ft. room. Enjoy years
        of reliable performance backed by a limited 5-year warranty.
    --  Long-Lasting Filters: with the power of several filters built into one,
        you no longer have to remember to change multiple filters at a time. The
        3-in-1 HEPA filters are easy-to-maintain, with recommended replacement
        1X per year.

The Honeywell Professional Series(TM) HEPA Air Purifier has an MSRP of $749 and is available at retailers nationwide, including Menards, BestBuy.com, Target.com, and Amazon.com.
