Panasonic has launched the “Middle East’s largest” air-volume humidifying air purifier the F-VXK90M.

Speaking at the launch and announcing the new product, Hiroo Ikeda, GM, Eco Solutions Division, Panasonic Marketing MEA, said: “An estimated 300 million people have been diagnosed with asthma, with an expected increase to 400 million by 2025, according to the data from the World Health Organization.”

Ikeda said: “Reports also clearly indicate that there has been undoubtedly an increased prevalence of asthma in the MENA region over the past several decades. Air purifiers can be very beneficial to asthma patients and to non-asthmatic patients as it is used to remove impurity from indoor air.”

With a sleek and stylish outer body, the new air purifier is designed intricately with an inbuilt pre-filter, which is washable and fitted to protect against the sand storm. Every new model of this air purifier comes with an additional filter that can be changed later in-order to serve you long and efficiently. The model is also equipped with 5 sensors: Human motion, light, humidity, odor and dirt sensors.

The HEPA filters, which are composed of high quality and randomly arranged fibers, are also worth commending within this model.

Panasonic’s HEPA filters enhance purifying function inhibiting 17 kinds of virus, bacteria and allergen up to 99 percent.

Likewise, the humidifying filter within the air purifiers does not get jammed easily, retaining a large amount of moisture and enabling easy vaporization. It also helps keep skin hydrated and has the maximum humidifying capacity of 830 ml/hour.

It also has a large opening to the 4.2 liter water tank, which is easy to clean even at the bottom.

Another unique feature within the F-VXK90M is the Mega Catcher that facilitates powerful suction of dusts within 30 cm above the floor.

The Mega Catcher opens when house dusts and allergens are detected.

Among the different features of the purifier, the eco-navigator function is perhaps one that should be highlighted. This feature enables the air purifier to act like having its own mind.
