General
Blueair Cabin P2i car air purifier
The car air purifier is designed for use in cars and purifies the air while
the car is in use.
Blueair´s HEPASilent™ advanced filtration technology enables the car air
purifier to remove harmful pollutants (i.e. VOCs such as
Formaldehyde), particles and odors.
The car air purifier monitors the particle level in your car, displays the
current air quality on your smartphone, and provides app control.
When Auto mode is active, the fan is automatically adjusted based on the
readings from the built-in laser particle sensor, thus achieving optimal air
purification.
A control knob (also 12V power) enables the driver to either change the fan
speeds (3-speed options) or activate the Clean Cycle program. A USB charging
port on the control knob is available for use by the driver or front seat
passenger.
A 4,5 m cable connects the control knob to the main unit so that it can be
installed behind a backseat headrest.
This product is equipped with an easily accessible USB charging port so that
back seat passengers can charge another device while the cabin air is cleaned.
