The series is equipped with semi-circular punch plates that vibrate up and down about 4,000 times per minute in two places to "float" dead mites, dung, pollen, dust, etc. entwined with bedding fibers on the surface. A bedding cleaner to remove.

By newly adopting a powerful motor that creates a strong air flow, the suction power has been improved to more than double that of the conventional model. In addition, the new HEPA filter coated with Yamasei's allergen decomposition material "tannic acid" has succeeded in "inactivating 99% or more" of allergens such as caught mites.
