DESIGN & LOOKS
The cylindrical shape of the air purifier is what is different from other Philips Air Purifiers. This shape is better for drawing polluted air from all directions. A 360° air suction is created by the jet-engine shaped powerful fan. With other air purifiers at least one side like the back does not suck the air in. This limitation demands that you keep the air purifiers a minimum 1 foot away from the walls. Not so with the Philips AC0820. As is true with any circular shape, when it presses against any surface, it does so only tangentially. Hence, there is no obstruction in the path of airflow.
