Best Features
1. 5-Stage Filtration
These are the five steps that air passes through when it enters an air purifier.
Mesh prefilter: This filter traps large particles such as dust and pet hair.
True HEPA filter: Traps smaller allergens such as mold, smoke, and pollen.
Activated Carbon Filter: Removes household odors from pets, cooking, and mustiness.
UV light sanitizer: Targets microbes in indoor air to make it safer
Negative ion generator: This releases negative ions to improve air purification and refresh the air.
SilverOnyx’s 5-stage filter makes it one of the most effective air purifiers for mold, smoke, dust, and other allergens.
It is also ideal for families who live in areas where wildfires are frequent.
2. Great for Large Rooms
The compact design of the air purifier belies its impressive coverage. It covers as much as 500 square feet.
The SilverOnyx is suitable for any job, including purifying a bedroom with a medium-sized bed or large basement.
3. Five Fan Speeds and Auto Mode
Air purifiers typically have three speeds. SilverOnyx has five fan speeds.
This allows you to choose the ideal setting for your room and the air quality.
To quickly clear the air of dust and other particles, turn the speed up to the maximum setting.
It is enough to endure the loud noise for a few moments.
Quieter level 3 is great for everyday use to maintain clean air.
You can choose auto mode if you’re not sure what fan speed setting is the best.
This mode uses the integrated air quality sensor (which measures the air quality).
It will increase its speed when the air is dirtier and slow down when it is cleaner.
4. Air Quality Indicator
The air purifier does not keep track of the air quality readings.
The air quality indicator can monitor indoor air quality. It is a light that changes color when there is poor air quality and turns blue when it is good.
5. Sleep Mode
To help you fall asleep, a handy sleep mode will dim the indicator lights and reduce the fan speed.
You can use the timer to have the purifier turn off after a specific time if you don’t wish to leave it on at night.
Limitations
This air purifier has a significant problem that we’ve seen with other models: it can get noisy when it is running at the highest speed.
You don’t need to use the highest setting very often. It is only necessary for really dirty conditions.
Even then, it only lasts a few seconds.
