Where to place the air purifier?
The lower the air purifier is placed, the better the air filtration ability. We can place the device on a table or chair, but it is best to place the device on the floor.
Do not place the machine close to the wall, the safe distance is 20-90 cm to avoid exhaust gas from the machine against the wall, causing dirt on the wall and floor.
Place the machine in a balanced, stable position and avoid rough surfaces that can easily tilt, leading to damage.
Avoid placing the device in direct sunlight. It is most effective to place the device in a closed space rather than in an open space.
Do not place the machine near water sources and high-temperature equipment and objects such as gas stoves, cigarette butts… because it may cause a fire.
Avoid placing the wall-mounted air purifier too high above the ground, the optimal distance is from 1.2 to 1.6m so that adults can easily use it and beyond the reach of children to avoid damage or falling off the wall.
Place an air purifier in the bedroom. Sleep is very important to us, so placing an air purifier in the bedroom helps the air to be fresher, breathe deeper, sleeping better, and the body’s process of eliminating toxins will also take place more advantageous.
Basic functions are often found in air purifiers
Air filtration
Most air purifiers today are equipped with Hepa filter technology, ensuring clean air quality of up to 97-99%.
Create humidity
When summer comes, sitting with air conditioning too much will cause your skin to become dry, and chapped, and air conditioning will cause the spread of infectious diseases. A “two-in-one” humidifying air purifier will be both an economical and safe choice.
Generate negative ions
Air purifiers can create negative ions or hydrogen molecules, which is a factor that helps the air have higher quality, making the air feel more airy and “easier to breathe” after a tiring day.
Catch mosquitoes
Some air purifiers are equipped with a very convenient mosquito-catching feature. Especially in the humid rainy season, there will be a lot of mosquitoes in your home.
Common ways to kill mosquitoes such as mosquito repellent essential oils, mosquito repellent lamps, mosquito scents, etc. are all effective, but they are chemicals so they are not good if you use them for a long time, especially when used on young children. Using an air purifier to catch mosquitoes only thanks to the airflow effect in the narrow slot on the machine’s body will be much safer.
How to connect an air purifier to a smartphone

A few small notes for women when cleaning the air purifier:
Do not use detergents to clean the machine because they can cause corrosion and damage the machine.
You should clean the filter about once a month. For places with heavy environmental pollution like Saigon and Hanoi, the air purifier should be cleaned twice a month.
In particular, do not leave the machine in wet or high-humidity places, because in the long term, it will affect the machine’s components, causing damage…
