Manufacturer's Description

The Vicks V-9071E HEPA Air Purifier is a compact HEPA air cleaner which has maximum cleaning performance due to the HEPA filter system- it is the ideal solution for clean air.

Air quality can make a real difference to a person’s health- whether that is to allergies or asthma. Many of us spend up to 90% of our time indoors, i.e. at home, the office, school and there is a common misperception that the air quality indoors is better that outside. Indoor air quality can actually be 2 – 100 times worse than outside.

The Vicks HEPA Air Purifier filters out 97% of impurities with a micron size of 2 or larger. A micron is the unit of measure applied to air bourne particles. The table below shows the average micron size of some of the particles found in the air which may irritate a person. This Vicks Air Purifier will pick up most of these through its HEPA type filter, i.e. Human Hair, Pollen, Pet Dander and some dust dependent on its size.

The washable pre filter filters the initial and larger impurities, the Carbon, HEPA and ionizer then work to filter the remaining impurities with up to 97% effectiveness.

Ionizers omit ozone and there is conflicting data as to whether this is suitable for asthma sufferers. The Vicks V-9071E has an optional ionizer so this can be utilized at your own discretion.

The HEPA and Carbon filters (RPAP-9071) have a life expectancy of approx 6 months dependent on the usage of the product and the quality of the air, replacement filters are readily available at a reasonable price (RRP £14.99). The Air Purifier has an electronic filter change reminder so it is easy to know when a new filter is required.

The Vicks V-9071E HEPA Air Purifier is an ideal way to provide cleaner, fresher air to your home. Perfect for people with allergies it can work to provide some relief from symptoms. For those with serious health problems such as chronic asthma we would recommend an air purifier with a HEPA filter of 99.9% effectiveness such as the Honeywell DA-5018E Midi Air Purifier.
