Understanding CADR

What is CADR?

CADR stands for "Clean Air Delivery Rate," which indicates the volume of filtered air delivered by an air purifier.

CADR ratings show the effectiveness of the air purifier is at capturing fine par- ticles. Higher CADR rates indicate im- proved performance in all room sizes.

Note: The PCO500 Air Purifier is sug- gested for use in a single, closed room up to 265 square feet. The PCO300 Air Purifier is suggested for use in a single, closed room up to 175 square feet. Portable air cleaners will be much more effective in rooms when all the doors and windows are closed.

PCO300, PCO500 specifications

The Vornado PCO500 and PCO300 are innovative air purification systems designed to improve indoor air quality by employing advanced technologies and efficient performance. These devices are recognized for their effectiveness in removing airborne pollutants, providing users with a cleaner and healthier living environment.

Both models utilize Vornado's unique Green Air Technology, which combines a combination of a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and a powerful fan. This technology ensures that the air is not only filtered, but also thoroughly circulated throughout the room. The HEPA filters capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and mold spores, making them ideal for allergy sufferers and those sensitive to airborne contaminants.

One of the standout features of the Vornado PCO500 and PCO300 is their ability to tackle not only particulate matter but also odors and harmful gases. The PCO500 utilizes advanced photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) technology, which works in conjunction with ultraviolet light to neutralize volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and unpleasant odors. This technology enhances the overall air purification process, ensuring that the air is not only clean but also fresh and pleasant to breathe.

The design of both models is modern and user-friendly, featuring intuitive controls that allow users to adjust the fan speed and monitor filter life easily. The PCO500 is particularly well-suited for larger spaces, covering up to 1,000 square feet, while the PCO300 is designed for medium-sized rooms, effectively purifying air within 500 square feet. Both models are equipped with a filter replacement indicator, ensuring that users are always aware of when to change the filters for optimal performance.

Energy efficiency is another significant characteristic of the Vornado PCO500 and PCO300. Both devices consume minimal electricity, making them an environmentally friendly choice. They operate quietly, allowing for continuous use without disruptive noise, which is especially beneficial in bedrooms or offices.

In summary, the Vornado PCO500 and PCO300 represent the culmination of advanced air purification technology. With their combination of HEPA filtration, photocatalytic oxidation, user-friendly design, and energy-efficient operation, these machines stand out as excellent options for anyone seeking to enhance the quality of their indoor air and create a healthier living space.
