Sauberair claims to have developed the world’s thinnest, most effective, wall-mounted air purifier, which doubles as a painting hanging on the wall.

Measuring an ultra-thin 9 cm, the Sauberair FLAT can remove 99.9% harmful smoke and particles, eliminating a wide range of pollutants with minimum power consumption, the company says. It also boasts an extended filter lifespan compared to conventional purifiers.

The application has built-in smart sensors to detect and monitor the indoor air quality, humidity and temperature, while users can check and modify the filtering mode on the app anytime, and from anywhere.

As well as purifying the air, the FLAT BT features an integrated Bluetooth speaker which has been optimised for maximum sound quality. Users can play music with these built-in stereo speakers or it can serve as a music wake-up alarm.

According to the brand, FLAT is also the world’s first scalable purifier – meaning that two can be connected together and controlled simultaneously. In addition, its appearance can be changed according to customers’ preferences so that it better suits their home’s interior design, Sauberair says.

Why buy a FLAT air purifier?

World Health Organization data has shown that almost the entire global population (99%) breathe air which exceeds the international organisation’s guidelines for pollutants. This is not only happening in low- and middle-income countries, but also in the cities of developed nations. Air pollution is responsible for an estimated 7.4 million deaths every year, Sauber points out.

Problems with the air purifiers on the market

The business model of traditional air purifiers is ultimately built around selling filters, not the appliances themselves. Moreover, the filters’ lifespan is usually relatively short with replacement alerts based on the usage time, not the actual filter clogging rate. This is unscientific, the company says. Also, expensive filters dissuade consumers from replacing it when their time is up, which ultimately reduces its overall filtration effectiveness.

With its unique design, FLAT is much more efficient and effective than other models, identifying airflow passing through the filter, and alerting the user to when the filter should be changed, says Sauber.

Finally, FLAT has obtained invention patents in many countries and won The Made-in-Taiwan Golden Select Award, presented by the Taiwan Industry Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, with the highest score from the jury.
