The AF1 is designed for environments that are mostly carpeted and contain some hard flooring. It is also ideal for homes with indoor pets that shed. Thermax has lead the way once again by redesigning and incorporating its revolutionary hot water extraction and water filtration technology into a lightweight, compact, easy to use home care system, the Thermax AF1. It will replace your traditional air purifier, vacuum cleaner, and steam cleaner, changing the way you clean forever! Water has always been nature's way to clean. We routinely wash our clothes, dishes and even ourselves with water. Now we can finally do the same for our carpets and upholstery. Your new Thermax AF1 washes away the stagnant, recirculated contaminants from your air, furnishings, and flooring, trapping them within the water while you clean. Your Thermax AF1 then easily converts into a hot water extraction system capable of washing deeply embedded oils, stains, and greases from the fibers of your carpet and upholstery -- for unsurpassed water washed cleanliness. Using your new Thermax AF1 to clean is a more thorough and healthier way to clean. Our patented system operates constantly at maximum airflow efficiency, unlike traditional dry bag and bagless type vacuums that can lose over 50% of their airflow (cleaning ability) when they are only one-third full. Because the aqua filter is emptied and cleaned after each vacuuming, the contaminants are permanently removed from your home -- not left in a filthy bag or dry basin, only to be blown back into the indoor environment through the filter's pores each time you vacuum. Your new Thermax AF1 Home Environment Cleaning System simply washes away the worry of indoor air pollution forever!
