The purifier comes with different modes including Auto, Night, ion (normal and high fan speed). With auto mode, the SmartAir works silently and clean your indoor air. During the night, you can choose night mode and to kill airborne viruses, go for ion mode, choose the fan speed as per your choice. After turning on the device and keeping it running for around an hour on auto mode. The first observation was – It’s a silent air purifier, we were hardly able to notice the sound of the purifier. We can feel the freshness in the air, we also noticed a reduction in bad odour. With ion mode, its efficiency was much better, quickly I felt changes in the air and bad odour reduction.

The app enables us to operate the air purifier from anywhere. This comes handy when you are about to reach home. Using the app you can turn on the air purifier and till the time you reach home, its fresh and clean air. It also has HAZE mode, in case of smog and high impurities, choose the HAZE mode for superior and efficient cleaning.
