Plasma generators
The best wirecutter aficionado I know has been on the lookout for a good time in the sandboxed home for the past few months, so it was time to do some heavy duty testing and review based on a budget.
As such, we had to make sure that the most important item on the agenda was not a dust bunny. To this end, we did the legwork and uncovered some gems of gems, the most notable being the Winix 5500.
Aside from the quality and pricey unit in question, we have been treated to some stellar customer service, including some swagger worthy of the local high rollers.
Electrostatic precipitators
Electrostatic precipitators are a type of air purifier that remove particulate matter from the air.
These devices are used for industrial and commercial purposes. They are usually used in power plants, chemical plants and other industries where the pollution produced is highly harmful to people.
Electrostatic precipitators work by generating an electrical charge that holds together small particles.
The device is then used to collect the charged particles. Those particles are then disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
There are several different types of electrostatic precipitators. The most common is a plate precipitator, which has an initial row of vertical wires.
The charged particles are then collected on the plates and then released through a fine filter.
UV lights
One of the best places to get a firsthand look at air purifiers is on the ground floor of the Wirecutter headquarters.
We’re not sure who is responsible for bringing the newest in the industry to life, but it sure is a dandy place to hang out. Especially if you’re into ye olde art deco.
If you’re into modern art, it’s also a good place to find out what’s hot and what’s not. Besides, who knows, you might stumble upon the next big thing in the tech world: a smart home system dubbed as the ultimate living room.
Of course, the aforementioned wirecutter staff had a few snobs in tow, but the fact remains that a visit to the bowels of the wacky office building will have you feeling the air. That’s not to say you’ll be the last one to come through, though.
