Neutral charcoal grey with gold accents. Conditioning can be stopped at any time by opening the drawer. The unit resets on each drawer opening, so short-term conditioning is possible. Circulates up to 9 cfm. Desiccant life should average two months over the course of a year.
Actual life depends on season, area of country, and lifestyle of the user.
The desiccant also absorbs odors as it dries. Germicidal lamps should not be confused with sunlamps or blacklight lamps, for while these are also ultraviolet lamps, the UV produced is of longer wavelength and is not useful for germicidal applications. This wavelength is in the region of maximum germicidal effectiveness and is highly lethal to virus, bacteria, and mold spores. To the user, this means less itching and irritation, and fewer recurring infections of the external ear canal. Every component was chosen with reliability in mind.
