YOUR BREVILLE AIR PURIFIER
Your Breville Smart Air Plus™ Connect Purifier improves your indoor air quality using 4 distinct levels of protection.
- A Pre-Filter
Captures larger airborne particles such as human hair, pet dander and dust particles. - A True HEPA Filter
Traps up to 99.97% of allergens and airborne contaminants down to 0.3 microns in size. These include dust, mould spores, plant spores, and pollen. - An Activated Carbon Membrane
Along with assisting in the capture of dust, smoke, pollen and other airborne allergens, the activated carbon membrane helps to neutralise odours in the home and to eliminate fumes emitted by household products as well as other volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) that might be found in the air. - Microbe Shield™ Technology
Microbe Shied technology uses a shortwave UV-C light specially designed to target germs and bacteria from the incoming air as it passes through the air purifier before releasing the air back into the surrounding area. The Microbe Shield™ function can be turned on and off according to preference.
