Highlights

Whole-room purification
It distributes powerful clean airflow to every corner of the room at a CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) of 270 m3/h(1), thoroughly purifying even large rooms up to 70 m2(2) to protect you from bacteria, viruses, pollen, dust, pet dander, dust mites, harmful gases, odors, and other pollutants.

NanoProtect HEPA filtration
Only Philips Air Purifiers have NanoProtect HEPA filtration with active carbon and a pre-filter to remove 99.97% of particles as small as 0.003 microns(3). NanoProtect HEPA technology not only traps pollutants, but also uses an electrostatic charge to attract them, cleaning up to 2X more air than traditional HEPA H13 filtration, with higher energy efficiency.

Powerful cooling
Cools you with powerful, clean airflow that feels natural and pleasant. With adjustable airflow rotation of up to 350 degrees, it will reach everywhere. Thanks to its bladeless design, it does not blow gusts of air, creating a consistent stream of fan airflow up to 1579 m3/h, fully customizable with 10 speeds to suit your comfort needs.

Whole-room heating
Safe and soothing heating so you can stay cozy and comfortable on cooler days. With powerful PTC ceramic technology, it heats up in 3 seconds to warm you up in no time. Set your target temperature (1-37°CC) and customize your warmth with 10 heater speeds or use the auto mode to heat your room efficiently with its energy-saving algorithm.

Always adapted to you.
Powered by the AI (artificial intelligence) technology. Air Performer cleans the air, cools you down,n and heats the room when you need it. Philips' self-adapting technology with AI not only detects air quality, but also analyzes your usage habits to customize purification performance while keeping noise levels and power consumption as low as possible.

Sensors and Display
Smart AeraSense sensors continually scan the air and report in real-time, immediately reacting to any increase in pollution to improve your air quality. Check your purifier's digital display or app to track ultra-fine pollutants (PM2.5), allergens, gases (VOCs and odors), temperature, and humidity.

Ultra-quiet sleep mode
In sleep mode, it is quieter than a whisper with only 19 dB(A)(5) of noise level. Its light sensor detects when it is dark, turning the lights off automatically. In auto mode, it keeps noise levels to a minimum as it learns when it needs to perform or when it needs to be quiet.

Low energy consumption
Thanks to its energy-efficient design, it uses 40 W to purify the air(10), less than a traditional light bulb. In auto mode, the motor only runs when and for as long as needed, prolonging filter lifetime whilst saving energy.
