Entry Description

Essential Air is a 2-in-1 air purifier for compact living in regions with seasonal changes. It combines air purification with a rotatable fan to offer year-round comfort while saving space. On hot days, the fan circulates air at adjustable angles. In colder seasons, it rotates fully upward for purification without direct airflow. A single fan performs both functions, boosting energy efficiency. Vertical slits and internal parts guide filtered air outward. A circular LED visualizes air quality and airflow. A touch-based magnetic remote displays air status and allows easy wind control.
