A control panel which is conveniently located at the top of the unit is very easy to operate.

Overall, we are satisfied with GermGuardian AC5900WCA looks; a simple yet elegant design that doesn’t take up much space. Also, you can place the air purifier against a wall since air is emitted from the left side, so you don’t need to set it in the middle of your rooms.
