The Rabbit Air MinusA2 air purifier traps allergens and particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency and particles less than 0.1 microns in size at higher than 99% efficiency.
But the air purifier can only maintain its efficiency when working 100%. So, when the Rabbit Air MinusA2 air purifier is not working, it cannot trap airborne bacteria and mold spores, reduce VOCs, pet dander, and allergens, and cannot trap different odors.
When your Rabbit Air MinusA2 air purifier is not working, identifying the problem first will help you find a long-term solution.
For example, your air purifier can stop working if the sensors are dirty. On the other hand, its air cleaning efficiency will drop if the filters are dirty or heavily soiled.
But the air purifier can also stop working because of the following reasons:
- You have placed it on an uneven surface.
- The sensor’s sensitivity is incorrect.
- The filters are old.
You can increase the efficiency of the Rabbit Air MinusA2 air purifier by placing it in a room that is not more than 815 square feet or 408 square feet if you suffer from allergies.
