Two HuFriedyGroup units: the PWR Air, a standalone air polisher, and the PWR Pair, a piezoelectric scaler and air polisher in one tabletop unit. Here is what the manufacturer documents about each.
Hu-Friedy's PWR series has two models. The PWR Air is a tabletop air polisher (air polishing only), with Prophy and Perio functions for supragingival and subgingival use. The PWR Pair combines a piezoelectric scaler and an air polisher in one unit, each with its own handpiece. Both use HuFriedyGroup's PWR Prophylaxis Powder.
HuFriedyGroup sells the PWR Air (code APAIRPOL) and the PWR Pair (code APPAIR) through its dealers. It does not state the country of manufacture on its product pages.

Combined tabletop systems such as the EMS GBT Machine, the Mectron Combi Touch, the NSK Varios Combi Pro2 and the Woodpecker PT-E put an ultrasonic scaler and an air polisher in one tabletop unit, each with its own handpiece. The PWR Pair follows the same approach. Clinics comparing them should ask for a demonstration and confirm which powders and subgingival options are available for their market before deciding.
