It’s functional yet attractive flat panel design (less than 8” thick), utilizes 6 state-of-the-art fans and is able to move extra large volumes of air through high particle capture filters with very little energy. On low, AirTamer® only consumes a record breaking 5 watts of electricity (equivalent to just $5.11 per year of 24/7 use on low speed), yet on high speed is certified to clean a 20’ x 20’ room in just 12 minutes! It’s unique flexible filter system uses the industry’s largest filter allowed and gives the consumer complete control of their desired filtration level with the filter replacement options of an AirTamer® filter or any other standard 16” x 20” furnace filter.
