Noise levels are as low as 24 dB(A). The new units have washable carbon and anti-bacterial air-purifying files that can be washed and reused up to 20 times.

The units come with a wireless remote controller. There are also two wired control options — a simplified controller and a remote controller with 7-day timer that includes freeze protection.

The new units come with a 3-year warranty.
