You can buy an upgrade kit that replaces the back metal filter with a HEPA filter.
It doesn't use radio waves. It charges the air, as discussed.
Another good use for it is getting smoke smell out of clothes. Getting smoke out of leather is a pain in the ass, as you can't effectively clean it. I place it on a hanger in front of the unit before hitting the sack. The next morning it smells fresh and clean.
