The 3M Ultra Slim Filtrete Air Purifier is a portable air purifier for rooms up to 150 square feet (16 square metres). Its slim design is by Pininfarina, and it really looks the part in any room being only 4 inches thick (10 cm).
The Ultra Slim air purifier has sensors that monitor the quality of the air, and will change the fan speed accordingly. There are three fan speeds in all, plus and auto mode.
There is also a programmable timer so you have total control over when the air purifier is working for you. You can choose to have it auto-shut off after 2, 4 or 8 hours.
The filtrete electrostatic filter on this machine is 98% effective in the filtration of pollen, dust mite debris and spores from the air that passes through the purifier. There is an indicator on the machine to tell you when the filter needs some maintenance.
There is also an ionizer with a separate on/off control to help improve the filtration, but the unit does not produce any ozone.
The Ultra Slim will also capture dust, pet dander, cigarette smoke and airborne particles that can carry odors and viruses.
This unit can be mounted on a wall using the mounting bracket supplied. While the unit does come with one Filtrete FAP04 filter, it will need to be replaced every three months or so.
The Ultra Slim FAP04-RC has a CADR of 350 and retails around the $280 mark.
However, do check Amazon for price and availability of the 3M FAP04-RC Filtrete Ultra-Slim Room Air Purifier
