The Soho PureHome Compact Air Purifier (model SO-65) is a device designed to improve indoor air quality by detecting, capturing, and extracting harmful airborne impurities. It utilizes a 3-stage purification system to deliver clean air silently. The unit is compact, with dimensions of L200 x W200 x H325 mm and a weight of 2.3 kg. It operates on a 220-240V~ 50Hz input supply with a power consumption of 30W. The clean air delivery rate (CADR) is 65 m³/h, making it suitable for suggested room sizes of up to 8.5 m².
Function Description:
The SO-65 Air Purifier employs a comprehensive 3-stage purification system:
- Pre-Filter: This initial stage captures larger particles such as hair, lint, pet dander, and household dust, preventing them from reaching subsequent filters and extending their lifespan.
- HEPA Filter: This critical stage captures and reduces up to 99.97% of airborne particles, including mold, pollen, and other allergens, down to 0.3 microns. This ensures that even microscopic irritants are removed from the air.
- Active Carbon Filter: The final stage is dedicated to removing household odors and noxious gases, leaving the air fresh and clean.
The device is designed for household use only and is not intended for commercial or industrial applications. It should be used indoors exclusively and kept away from fire, heat sources, flammable gas, combustible vapors, and corrosive substances.
