The Breville Smart Air™ Connect Purifier (model LAP308) is a household air purifier designed to improve indoor air quality through a four-level filtration system. It features a sleek, cylindrical white design with a control panel on the top surface and air inlets around the base.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Breville Smart Air™ Connect Purifier is to clean and purify the air in rooms up to 30-40m². It achieves this through a comprehensive 3-layer filter system combined with Microbe Shield™ Technology. The device is equipped with a SensAir™ Live Purity Control system, which includes a built-in air quality sensor that detects changes in the surrounding air quality and adjusts its operation accordingly. The air quality is indicated by a light around the control panel, changing colors from blue (Very Good) to yellow (Good), orange (Fair), and red (Poor). The purifier offers various operating modes, including manual fan speed control (Low, Medium, High, Turbo), a timer function (2, 4, or 8 hours), and a Night Mode for quiet operation with dimmed lights. Wi-Fi connectivity allows for remote control and monitoring via a smartphone app (Android 5.0+ or iOS 9.0+).
