My students (and staff) breathe easier thanks to cleaner air. Between allergies and illness this is benefit that will last us years to come. Adding this specific air purifier has really been a blessing since it has a child lock and none of my students are able to play with it by turning it on or off - which helps us stay safe and less distracted. Also thank you for the refill filters that will help this last a long time. It has already made a difference in our classroom and I'm sure it will continue to.
