MULTI PURPOSE AIR PURIFIER

The invention relates to an air purifier (1). The air purifier comprises a housing (2) and an air inlet. A fan is provided inside the housing drawing air from the air inlet towards an air outlet. Further, a filter is provided inside the housing in an air path from the air inlet to the air outlet for filtering the air drawn from the air inlet such that air at the air outlet is filtered air. The air purifier comprises a hood (3) at the air outlet. The hood is configured to be positioned in at least a first position and a second position, where in the first position the hood is in a retracted position configured to let the filtered air exit the outlet without interfering with the direction of air exiting via the air outlet, and where in the second position the hood is in an expanded position configured to direct at least a fraction or all of the filtered outlet air in a predetermined direction. Hereby the air purifier can be made to operate in at least two different modes of operation. Advantageously, in the first mode a diffuse are stream of filtered air is provided and in the second mode a focused air stream of filtered air is provided.
