Long-Term Value
The Friedrich C-90B offers unbeatable value because there are no HEPA filter replacements (which can cost from $80-$100). The electric plates on the unit need a simple wash to keep the air cleaner operating at optimum capacity. Weekly maintenance will ensure the longevity of this high-quality unit. This unit has:

  • A washable pre-filter.
  • No HEPA filters to replace.
  • An energy-efficient fan that doesn't use excessive energy.
  • A quiet fan because it is not overpowered like most traditional fans that have to push air through a thick material filter.
  • Dishwasher safe electric plates.
  • An estimated yearly cost to operate of only $50-$60.

3-Stage Filtration = Outstanding Efficiency
The efficiency of the C-90B comes from the unit’s 3 filter stages. First, air travels in through a prefilter that captures the largest particles. Next, air moves through an electrostatically charged main filter cartridge. Finally, air moves through a carbon filter to eliminates gases and odors. The system:

  • Has a 3-speed fan to quickly eliminate odors, dust, pollen, tobacco smoke, and other airborne pollutants.
  • Uses inexpensive carbon filters for additional odor filtration.

The Friedrich C-90B uses a 4-step process (pictured below) to filter air particles, odors, and fumes. The filtering process creates fresher, cleaner air to reduce breathing problems for those with allergies or respiratory sensitivity. The filter works as follows:

  1. The prefilter catches the larger particles as air in the room is drawn through the rear grille.
  2. In the ioinizing section of the electronic cell, billions of microscopic particles become electrically charged as they pass through a powerful electric field.
  3. Collector plates immediately attract these charged particles.
  4. Finally, an activated carbon filter removes common odors and fumes as the clean air is circulated back into the room.


The C-90B also offers mproved performance over the discontinued Friedrich C-90A model:

Highly Recommend Friedrich C90B
Reviewed by: Robert on 2008-11-08
I purchased my Friedrich C90B on-line about two month ago and the unit arrived quickly. My wife has Asthma and I suffer from allergies. The unit has impressed me with it's ability to clean the air in our bedroom. I have been amazed at the amount of dust the unit has removed from what I considered to be a clean room.

Before I make a major purchase I check with Consumer Reports. The Friedrich was ranked #1. So with free shipping and a #1 rating with Consumer Reports the choice was easy. I am very pleased with the unit and plan to buy another in the near future. I highly recommend the Friedrich C90B to anyone who wants very clean air.
