How the Airdog X5 Works
The Airdog X5 has a fantastic filtration system that tackles dust, odors, viruses, smoke, and even bacteria. The purifier has an inlet and outlet. When the air flows into the purifier, it is taken to a pre-filter screen and the dangerous particles are zapped by an emitter. An anionic field eliminates them and clean air is allowed to pass through the filter. It is a smart solution and makes the process more effective.
The X5 Features
One of the more impressive features of the Airdog X5 is that ozone emissions are kept extremely low. That’s crucial for those with health problems, such as asthma; it feels reassuring and that’s important for peace of mind. The X5 has also been certified by CARB and is EPA-compliant so again that puts your mind at ease. Speed settings include:
- Turbo
- Medium
- Low
- High
- Auto
Having the options over wind speed can be important and with the auto mode, the machine adjusts the speed automatically. This depends on the quality of air in the room so if it detects a change, it’ll adjust accordingly. That’s an impressive feature and really puts a unique spin on the purifier as well.
There is also a sleep mode for night time use. You can continue to run the machine while you’re in bed as the sleep mode switches off the display lights. The Airdog also keeps noise down by running on the lowest setting. This is very useful if you want to continue to use the machine at night but don’t want to be disturbed by it. The X5 is a fairly quiet machine but the higher the setting the more noise you’ll hear.
The X5 sports safety in the form of a child lock feature and that’s essential for most households. This feature ensures a child isn’t able to switch the X5 off by pressing the buttons on the machine. However, if you want to do so, you’d have to use the remote or app. It’s a nice feature and proves that safety is important.
What is the Performance Like?
One of the biggest drawbacks is that the X5 doesn’t include nitrogen dioxide levels when producing accurate air quality levels. That’s a bit disappointing but still, it’s a fairly good machine. And the performance is impressive. If you switch the auto mode on, you let the machine change the speed as and when the air quality changes. This helps to ensure you get the right setting and there is a handy remote and app to control the purifier too.
The Design and Setup of the Airdog X5
While the Airdog X5 is slightly on the heavy side, there are handles so you can easily move it from one room to the next. It’s bulky but easy-on-the-eye so that’s useful. In all, the design of the air purifier is smart and simplistic. It’s an air purifier that doesn’t pretend to be anything more than what it is and that’s great. Once you power up the machine and choose a speed, you’re good to go. It’s very easy to use.
The X5 comes with a handy cleaning brush to remove any grime on the collecting plates. And, you can connect to the app which only takes a few minutes to set up. Fortunately, there is also a remote if you’d prefer to control the air purifier with that.
Is The X5 Worth Trying?
If you have trouble with dust particles, mold, or suffer from allergies, an air purifier might be useful. And, the X5 looks to be a very smart machine. It has a handy indicator light to show the air quality and can be adjusted automatically for your convenience.
