Night Time Asthma Relief Thanks to the ElitePure Air Purifier

Tired from disrupted sleep, Carl needed a solution that could effectively clean the air

Fragrances, pet dander, smoke, dust and pollen can be an asthma sufferer's worst nightmare. It is well known pollutants in the air can cause asthma to flare up, resulting in coughing, tightness in the chest and wheezing that often worsens at night.

Urban households are found to have higher fine particular matter levels due to their location to other houses, proximity to traffic and even the use of gas stovetops. Household pets can also mean higher PM2.5 particles, which are smaller than the human eye can see and have a greater risk of causing health issues due to its ability to deposit deeper into the respiratory system*.

While surfaces can be regularly cleaned, and the house kept warm and dry, Carl and his partner needed something that could clean the air too - especially as cat owners who reside in an urban suburb.

The ElitePure Air Purifier Solution - Advanced
4-Step Filtration and Smart Monitoring ensures common asthma triggers are removed from the room's air

At the start of winter, when his asthma can really flare up, Carl purchased the Mitsubishi Electric ElitePure Air Purifier with hopes of a better night's sleep. The ElitePure works to maintain healthy air circulation inside the room by pulling dirty air in and passing the air through a 4-step high performance filtration system;

• Auto Cleaning Pre-Filter Captures course particles such as hair and dirt and transfers them to a dedicated dust box
• High Performance Two Layer HEPA Filter Removes airborne viruses, allergens, dust, bacteria and pollutant particles which are smaller than the eye can see
• Washable Active Carbon Filter Deodorises the air to remove harmful gases and chemicals
• Deodorising Platinum Catalyst Filter Combines platinum with nanotechnology to quickly and effectively absorb any remaining unpleasant odours

Using a Smart Search function and movable louvres, the ElitePure Air Purifier also directs airflow into five different directions to simultaneously check the quality of the air in each direction for 30 seconds.

When the sensors detect any form of pollutants, clean air will be directed to the location until they are filtered from the area.

Furthermore, the ElitePure is able to cleverly monitor air quality through three independent sensors to detect odours, PM2.5 particles and dust. Traffic light indication clearly displays the quality of air, so Carl can rest assured the indoor air quality of his room is high. 

Silent Mode offers continuously clean air without the noise

By selecting Silent Mode, the ElitePure can operate from a low 22dBA, so the couple aren't kept awake by the purification process. Night Mode also offers the option to lower the brightness of the control panel and air quality monitor lights for a better night's sleep.

With simple controls, Carl can push the button of the Mode he wants the unit to operate in and head to bed.

The sleek, compact design made the ElitePure an unobtrusive addition to the bedroom

Carl was impressed by the look of the unit, and is glad he can move it around the room to suit, tucking it out of the way beside the bedroom furniture.

Made to last - no fuss maintenance with washable filters

With a long estimated filter life of 8 years*, and all filters being washable, Carl cited easy maintenance as a huge plus when comparing options.

Matching Expectations - The ElitePure Results

“I have sinus problems and asthma, so normally have to use nasal sprays to keep my airways clear at night before sleeping.  Since having the ElitePure Air Purifier I am not getting 'blocked up' and I'm sleeping much better.”

As an asthma sufferer he would usually dread the pollen season but now he has the ElitePure, he “can't wait for the pollen season to arrive as the system will really make a massive difference then.”

Carl concluded his experience with the ElitePure in two points: “simple to use [and] delivers results”.

According to his partner, Carl must be sleeping better as he is “no longer as grumpy… or so I'm told”.
