Product description
The Oscillating tower fan with washable air filter and ionizer, Honeywell model HY-048BP is 41" tall. It circulates air in a room while generating ions to purify it. The ion generator is hardwired and permanently mounted inside the main housing cavity of the fan. This model integrates a carrying handle and has a twelve (12) hour auto-off timer, programmable thermostat, soft button switch controls, oscillation, and LED readout. A remote control with a built-in flashlight operates the fan speed, ionizer, oscillation, timer and modes and can be stored in the compartment opposite the control panel. The ionizer is a purifying apparatus that emits ions into the air to remove dust particles from the air, which are pulled into the ion generator by the fan. Ionization is when air passing through a filter becomes negatively charged and the air output attaches to positively charged pollutants resulting in pollutants dropping from the air. The ionizer provides a fresher, freer breathing space.
