The GermGuardian AC9200WCA features a complex filtration system, which starts with a pre-filter screen which catches the larger particles in the air such as hair, pet dander, dust, etc. This is then followed by the star of the unit; The true HEPA filter that will relive allergies, capturing airborne allergens of only 3 microns. After the HEPA filter,  an activated granular carbon filter which will reduce odours from a variety of sources, including pets, and cigarettes.

Finally, this system concludes with a UV-C light filter, and an Ionizer. The former of these two high-tech filters exposes germs  to UV-C light to decompose them, while the latter will charge the air that flows through the device in order to make it easier for the device to catch particles during the second pass through the unit. However, there are two controversies surrounding these types of filters.

One, the UV-C light filter has been challenged in the past, as it has been pointed out that in order for UV rays to have a significant effect on particles, they must be exposed to the rays for a prolonged period of time. Some argue that this is not possible in a unit of this type. It should also be noted that the UV-C filter is  The second controversy is based around the Ionizer filter, which has shown in the past to produce small amounts of Ozone. For context, Ozone in high doses has been shown to cause certain lung diseases. However, this unit in particular have been ARB certified, and complies with a federal Ozone limit in the United States, so you needn’t worry about this particular unit.

Efficiency & Certifications

Energy Star qualified, this unit has been assessed and shown itself to be compliant with regulations relating to energy consumption and eco-friendly performance. As we’ve previously mentioned, this unit has been certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for its adherence to Ozone emission regulations.

An additional feature that doubles as both an enhancement in convenience and efficiency is the inclusion of 3 fan speeds. This allows the user to operate their unit according to how much power is necessary. Without this feature, the unit would be forced to run constantly on full power.

Convenience

With a built-in 6-hour programmable timer, the user can set an auto-shut off within a 6-hour time frame. This is useful if the user is a professional and would like their unit to continue working for a while after they leave the home.

A filter change LED indicator will inform the user when the filter requires replacement. This saves the operator from having to constantly check their filters.

Weighing approximately 20.65lbs, the GermGuardian AC9200WCA is one of the lightest products we have reviewed on this website.
