Does an air purifier kill germs?

Our mother-in-law gave us this “miracle” so that we wouldn’t get sick. She said that she purchased the device for 25 thousand rubles, noting: it will kill all microbes in our house. We were skeptical about the air purifier, but we took it - what if. Moreover, the mother-in-law works at the SES, which means she knows a lot about disinfection.

What are the advantages?

I can’t say for sure whether the microbes are being killed - they are not visible. However, the equipment cleans the air quite well (foreign odors disappear and it becomes fresh). This is already a plus.

It seems to me that ORBIT works on the principle of a blue lamp. It even has a backlight of a characteristic shade. My mother said that this must be an improved lamp. The device has 2 modes - day and night (so as not to make too much noise). The hum is present, but not strong - it does not interfere with sleep.

The dimensions are small. Supplied with a replacement cartridge. It is recommended to change it every six months with intensive use.

Is there an effect? We used to get sick about once a year. And now for 2 years we don’t know what a cold is. Whether this is related to the air purifier is still unclear.

I liked that you can hang the device on the wall. That's basically what we did. Very convenient, looks like a regular air conditioner, but with lighting. Guests constantly ask: “Is this Conder so fashionable?”

The energy consumption of the device is low. Dirt decomposes into small particles, does not accumulate, and does not need to be removed.The device perfectly eliminates allergens, smoke, fumes, and gases. The filter cleans up to 99% of contaminants and is safe even for children's rooms.

Are there any downsides?

I don’t really like the appearance of the device: it would be better if it were made in gray or black. Our furniture is mostly dark, so the device doesn’t match it.

The price, of course, is a bit high, but we didn’t buy it ourselves, so it’s “no big deal.”

Should I take it or not?

My verdict is this: if you have extra money, you can take it. The device cleans the air well and removes dust. When it is turned on, breathing is noticeably easier. However, it’s also not worth chasing it endlessly.

I noticed another interesting nuance - if you place the air purifier next to flowers, their appearance becomes better.

The manufacturer claims that the air purifier does an excellent job of eliminating germs and viruses. It removes them from the environment, reducing the degree of infestation. The air is filtered in a special way - bacteria pass through the filters and are not released back.
Installing a purifier at home allows you to avoid constantly opening the windows. The optimal room for equipment is a room less than 20 m2². We have the device in a room 18 m² - copes with the task.

Important point! The purifier should not be installed near lamps or batteries. Otherwise, its performance will decrease by 20%.
