About the Filter

The filter uses a 3-stage filtration system, which is composed of a pre-filter, an H13 HEPA filter, and a high-efficiency activated carbon filter.

Keep the doors and windows closed when the air purifier is on.
Do not block the air inlet or outlet, and keep the air purifier away from curtains or walls.
Maintain and clean the filters regularly for maximum efficiency.

How does the auto mode work on the dreo Macro Pro True HEPA Air Purifier?

This keeps it affordable and reliable without Wi-Fi dependency, perfect for basic **HEPA air purification** in homes avoiding smart features[1][2].

How can I optimize performance of the dreo Macro Pro True HEPA Air Purifier in large rooms?

For best results with the dreo Macro Pro True HEPA Air Purifier in rooms up to 283 sq ft (4.8 air changes/hour), position centrally for **360-degree air intake**.
