• Height: 21.8 inches

Combining a slim, elegant design with powerful performance, the Electrolux EL490A air purifier can accommodate rooms up to 326 square feet, offering a CADR of 210 for smoke, 212 for dust, and 229 for pollen.  This unit features three cleaning stages to ensure healthier indoor air.

The first stage, carbon filtration, traps large particles, dust, hair, and lint, as well as reduces odors caused by cigarette smoke, cooking, and chemical vapors.  The second stage, True HEPA filtration, captures 99.97-percent of airborne pollutants as small as 0.3 microns (300 times smaller that the diameter of human hair), including smoke, dust, and pet dander, and removes them from the air.  The third and final stage uses PlasmaWave Technology, which generates both positive and negative ions to create plasma clusters that instantly neutralize viruses, bacteria, chemical vapors, and odors in the air, similar to the way nature cleans the air near a waterfall or just after a thunderstorm.

In addition, this air purifier provides four fan speeds that ensure efficient operation and can be adjusted automatically or manually.  Choose between Sleep mode, which allows for turning the fan down at nighttime, or Auto mode, where sensors automatically monitor odor levels and adjust the fan accordingly.

Electrolux EL490A’s other highlights include Energy Star certification (uses about the same amount of energy as a 7-watt nightlight light bulb), a filter indicator light that illuminates when the filter needs to be changed, and a remote control with a convenient cradle located on the unit.
