TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

GermGuardian GG1000 features titanium dioxide and a UV-C bulb, a combination that can effectively rid the air of viruses and bacteria. It produces approximately 45 dB of noise while operating, so it wouldn’t be a distraction if you place it in rooms like the bedroom or the office. Its compact size also lets it clean the air in small-sized rooms and corners where space can be an issue. What’s more, this model actually consumes less energy when operating than a standard light bulb, so you can run it continuously without worrying too much about your utility bill.

PERFORMANCE

Although this air purifier features only a single type of technology, it still can improve air quality. Obviously, it won’t perform as well in terms of reducing airborne particles since it doesn’t have mechanical filters. As such, you might want to opt for something else if you’re an allergy sufferer who’s wary about the presence of dust, pollen, dander, and other allergens in the air.

Its UV-C light feature, though, is effective at eliminating airborne germs like bacteria and viruses. According to GermGuardian, this technology is similar to what many hospitals use as a means to sanitize the air. In addition to eliminating these contaminants, it has titanium dioxide to back up its UV-C lamp. Titanium dioxide improves the lamp’s germ-killing power, helps inhibit fungal growth, and minimizes odors. That means you can count on it to remove pet, cooking, mildew, and smoke odors as well.

FEATURES

Unfortunately, there isn’t much to say when it comes to this model’s features as it’s a pretty basic, entry-level model. It features a single fan speed, which means you won’t be able to adjust its cleaning power according to the level of pollution in your room. In addition, it doesn’t feature a timer, air quality sensors, or bulb replacement indicators, but the lack of these features is quite common for ultra-affordable plug-in models. Remember, these plug-and-play air purifiers are intended for use in smaller spaces. As such, their compact designs don’t really allow for the addition of intricate features. For a product in its niche, the GG1000 appears well-made, and this is what really matters in the end.

DESIGN

The GG1000’s compact design doesn’t only make it ideal for space-strapped areas. It also makes it easier for you to take your air purifier anywhere some air-cleaning action is needed. It measures 3″ x 3.2″ x 7.5″ and weighs only 1 pound. It has a simple, unassuming design that makes it an inconspicuous addition to any room. Moreover, this air purifier doesn’t have any buttons, knobs, or dials. If you appreciate easy operation, you’d probably love this device for its simplicity.
