Design, Testing, and Price Range
What sets Swizz Style’s air purifier line apart from others is the emphasis on designer appearance. Designed by award winning Swiss designers like Matti Walker, these air purifiers don’t just clean the air – they make a fashion statement as well. These air purifiers, which have been manufactured by Stadler Form for an unknown period of time, were tested and proved by leading European allergy and air quality labs.
The company claims that the air purifiers can run extremely quietly depending on which mode they are on. The price range of these air purifiers is from $150 to $400. They are designed to reduce household allergies by removing smoke, dander and pollen from the air and contain fragrance dispensers to further freshen up the air.
Swizz Style Air Purifier Technology
Swizz Style’s Henry Air Purifiers utilizes a five step filter process. Air sucked into the purifier first passes through a HEPA filter and an activated carbon filter. These filters remove odors, dust, pollen and other air particles. The air then passes through a third filter, the Plasma-Cluster filter, which takes cares of even smaller particles that may have escaped the first two filters, such as dust mites, viruses and bacteria. The fourth filter, a TiO2 (titanium dioxide) filter, combined with a UV light, gets rid of anything that the third filter missed. The fifth and last filter is an ionizer that removes the very last bits of allergens from the air.
Regarding the HEPA filter and UV light, a professional reviewer has called into question whether the Henry Air Purifier uses real HEPA filters or not and whether a small UV light like the one the Henry has actually makes much of a difference in air purification.
The Viktor Air Purifier uses a new technology called the HPP Filter System. The Viktor contains a three-stage filter system, beginning with a pre-filter that traps large particles like pet dander, dust and hair. The HPP filter then removes smaller particles, bacteria and viruses. The carbon filter then eliminates odors in the air. Other than the fact that an international patent application is pending, there is little to no further information available about the HPP filter.
Swizz Style Air Purifier Models
