AirMD Makes Debut as First Green Air Purifier

The Alen AirMD is among the best in its class, cleaning indoor air with a combination HEPA filter, ionizer, and UV lamp. But wait, there's more. AirMD circuitry is lead-free and ozone-safe, making it the first device of its kind to be Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant. It uses just 55 watts of electricity, qualifying the air purifier

for Energy Star from the US EPA and the US Department of Energy. AirMD has an integrated programmable timer, and will efficiently clean the air in spaces up to 400 square feet. The device will be showcased this spring at the International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago on March 16-18, 2008.

Alen is backing the AirMD with a lifetime warranty. The product will be available in July 2008, with a starting price of $499. The UV lamp is expected to last 3-5 years, with HEPA filter changes recommended every 6-9 months. Along with four fan speeds and modern, minimalist design, the AirMD is the first of its kind to have such extensive green credentials.
