99.98% of coronavirus removed in 2.5 minutes*
As tested by Institut Pasteur de Lille
According to tests performed in the laboratories of the Institut Pasteur de Lille, Daikin’s air purifiers remove more than 99.98% the human coronavirus HCoV-229E in 2.5 minutes*. This virus is of the same family as SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus behind the COVID-19 pandemic.
The units have also been evaluated as 99.93% effective against the H1N1 virus in 2.5 minutes*.
H1N1 is the virus causing common flu. This means Daikin’s air purifiers are an additional measure in the fight against respiratory diseases. Our compact plug-and-play purifiers, whose effectiveness is achieved through a combination of the high performance electrostatic HEPA filter, which traps the virus, followed by an intense exposure to Daikin’s patented Flash Streamer technology, which removes the virus, can strongly contribute to reducing the risk of respiratory virus transmission.
Efficient against allergens as recognized by BAF (British Allergy Foundation)
The Allergy UK Seal of Approval reassures that the product is efficient at reducing small particulates which may include allergens, bacteria and viruses.
Approved allergy-friendly quality of this product/service is certified by the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation
An independent advisory panel of 15 leading international scientists and technicians has developed the criteria ECARF uses to evaluate different product groups. They include threshold values and exclusion criteria that make an allergic reaction very unlikely. The criteria are regularly updated to reflect the latest scientific findings. A product receives the Seal when it can be proved through audits or studies that the criteria have been fulfilled. The Daikin Air Purifiers passed these tests and can be considered as allergy-friendly.

Breathe in air that is clean and healthy
Daikin air purifiers minimise asthma and allergy symptoms by removing dust particles, pollen and other allergens from your indoor air, helping to keep you healthy by filtering out airborne bacteria and viruses.
The patented Streamer technology in Daikin air purifiers inactivates in more than 2.5 minutes* 99.93% of the common flu virus (H1N1) and 99.98% of the human coronavirus HCoV-229E, which is in the same family as SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus behind the COVID-19 pandemic.
Humidity is essential for healthy skin
The Ururu streamer technology air purifier offers humidification and purification all in one, to maintain a comfortable humidity level in your home.
The humidifying air purifier’s slim water tank infuses moisture into the air when it is too dry, to help avoid you getting dry skin or waking up with a scratchy throat.
Indoor air quality is vital for health
According to Allergy UK, people today spend on average 90% of their time indoors. So good indoor air quality is crucial for our health.
Pure indoor air is especially important for vulnerable groups – such as the very young and old, as well as people living with respiratory diseases and allergies.
Keep your air smelling fresh
Our air purifiers control odours so that your home smells fresh and clean. Daikin’s Air Purifier is designed to deal with harmful particles, as well as dust, odours, bacteria, pet hairs, moulds, pollen and mites and other allergens, leaving the indoor air clean and healthy.
Remove airborne hazards
At the heart of the Air Purifier is Daikin's Streamer technology, which releases ions into the air and generates active components that attach to the surface of fungi and allergens and decompose hazardous elements.
The air purifier cleans a space of up to 41m2, taking in air from the front and side of the unit covering a wide area and discharging clean air from the top. The electrostatic filter collects dust effectively without clogging, so it can filter a larger amount of air than typical mesh filters.

Air purifiers de-mystified: How do you know which is right for you
What should you consider before buying an air purifier? What is a HEPA filter? We take you through what you need to know before purchasing an air purifier.
High Performance HEPA filter to catch fine particles of dust
Removes 99% of particles between 0.1μm and 2.5μm in size
The filter collects dust efficiently with electrostatic forces. It is not prone to clogging compared with non-electrostatic HEPA filters which collect particles only by the fineness of the mesh.
Electrostatic HEPA filter
Removes 99,97% of fine particles of 0,3μm Filter fiber itself is charged with static electricity, and collects particles efficiently. Doesn’t clog easily, hence causes low pressure loss.
Therefore, a larger amount of air can pass through the filter.
VS
The filter can purify a larger amount of air!
Non-electrostatic filter
Because it catches particles relying only on mesh size, it is necessary to make mesh finer, making it easy to be clogged and cause high pressure loss.
Compact, effective and quiet thanks to the new, innovative structure
Daikin Air Purifiers are equipped with Streamer technology
Powerful humidification to protect against air dryness and viruses
- Protects the skin, the throat and the nostrils from dryness.
- Protects against viruses by maintaining appropriate humidity of the room.
- Maintains comfortable room humidity levels (40 to 60% RH)
- Streamer eliminates bacteria on the humidifying filter.
