Electriq
CD20LE Pro 20L
Handling both air purifying and
dehumidifying, this box is handy
all year round, and being able to
control it remotely is really
useful, and helps save energy. In
the wetter months, battle damp
and mould by running a good
dehumidifying schedule – the
unit can detect when it needs to
run, too. With a 20-litre capacity,
it can handle homes of up to
five bedrooms. Outside of the
schedule, you can trigger it
remotely using modes including
one for laundry and a night
mode that’s quieter. And when
it’s not humid, the air
purification mode helps to clear
pollen, dust and other allergens,
so you’ll feel better in the
summer months, and even
keeping things a little cleaner at
home. Again, you can trigger
this remotely and set schedules,
so you could give the air a clean
in the hours before you come
home from work, or during the
night so you sleep easier (and
when electricity is off-peak).

Available in a range of cool colours, this
purifier uses a combination of
electrostatic and mechanical filters,
which are less dense than other filters,
so less energy is needed to pull the air
through. Use the app to tell it when to
come on, or combine with the BlueairAware sensor, whichw
detect the currentairc
will tell the Sense+wh
