Visualization of Air Flow
Air is something that is constantly breathed in, yet it can often be contaminated. The iconic hole, a key design feature, visualizes the flow of clean air while also serving as a handle for easy portability. The simple, impactful form draws strong visual attention. Since the product delivers invisible benefits, its sturdy and durable finish conveys a sense of reliability and trust.
Easy to Use
Designed for simplicity, the device turns on with just a push of a button, requiring no complex settings. The lighting in the hole indicates the current operating status, changing color from red to blue depending on the air quality. This allows users to quickly assess the air quality at a glance. The rear cover opens without the need for tools, ensuring easy maintenance.
Maximize Portability
The hole serves as a handle, making the device easy to carry. Its compact and lightweight design ensures portability, allowing it to be used anywhere, anytime.
Users can take the device anywhere—whether it’s the car, home, or office—and easily connect it to a standard power outlet, USB port, or vehicle cigarette lighter outlet. Its compact design fits perfectly into a vehicle's cup holder, providing clean, purified air on the go.
Mass production costs were reduced by optimizing the internal structure compared to existing portable air purifiers. This structural optimization allows for a compact size that can be easily carried by hand, without compromising performance.
