World’s Most Energy-Efficient Air Cleaner

Using a patented technology developed in Sweden called “Clean Air Zone”, the Humanair air purifier is said to be the world’s most energy-efficient air cleaner and to be able to “surround the user in a bubble of air that’s free of pollutants, dust and biological contaminants while boasting silent, breeze-free and ozone-free operation”.

Improving on the traditional Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) method of air purification, Humanair removes more than 99% of contaminants from the air while consuming just 22 watts of power–no air purifier is more efficient.

Here’s a video introduction to the Humanair air purifier:
