The Intense Pure Air is offered in two sizes, the "Bedroom" purifying up to 400 square feet and the "XL Room" purifying up to 835 square feet. Both models feature smart pollution sensors that provide automatic filtration regulation.

This brand new air purifier offers four levels of filtration:

"As we learn more about the quality of our air, it is becoming more critical for us to be able to filter it," said Michele Lupton, Marketing Communications Director, Groupe SEB USA. "With its four levels of filtration, the Intense Pure Air is a necessary addition to any home – especially given the rising number of pollutants found in our homes."

"Each day, we are bombarded with a wide range of indoor airborne contaminants, from allergens like dust and mold to an array of toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, a known carcinogen," said Dr. Noreen Khan-Mayberry, environmental toxicologist & medical scientist. "While we cannot control the air quality everywhere, we can significantly reduce our daily exposure to harmful air pollutants in our homes and indoor workplaces, where we spend the majority of our time, by utilizing the Rowenta Intense Pure Air.  As the first and only air purifier on the market that captures and destroys formaldehyde, The Rowenta Intense Pure Air represents a truly groundbreaking advance in technology that I am proud to recommend, both as a toxicologist and as a mom."
