However, an air purifier isn't just brilliant for keeping allergies at bay; it's useful for reducing strong odors from activities such as cooking, painting or burning a candle. Exposure to these particles over a long period of time can trigger short-term health effects, such as eye, nose, throat, and lung irritation, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and shortness of breath.

While the air purifier appears to clean the air, our reviewer, Michelle, is still in the process of extensively testing all of the AeroTower's features. In addition, the air purifier hasn't so far managed to exceed the level "Good" in terms of air quality, which is surprising given that Michelle has so many house plants to mop up the various negative particles in the air; but more testing will provide yet more insight. The 411 is whisper silent, energy efficient and the one-button speed control makes it super easy to use. And when you finally have to replace the filter, you don’t have to be an engineer – all you need is one simple twist. The Blue Pure 411 Auto (or Blueair Blue 3210 in the UK) is available direct from Blueair. In the UK, it’s the most affordable model the brand offers; in the US, it’s among the more affordable options.During our tests, our reviewer, Jennifer, found that the Autoreact did a better job of purifying the air rather than cooling it; it took this model some time to bring down the temperature of a room. In fact, by the time the room was showing as having come down in temperature, we no longer needed to be cool/ or we had moved rooms. The 10 speed settings and night time mode were useful for speeding up the cooling and purification of the air, and keeping control of the noise output.

This filter is only compatible with the Blue Pure 411 series of air purifiers which include the Blue Pure 411 Auto, Blue Pure 411, and Blue Pure 411+. Carbon filters remove chemical fumes including VOC's, traffic combustion gases, pet odours, tobacco smoke and many more gaseous pollutants.However not all carbon filters are the same. Basic carbon 'sheet' filters are generally lightweight and have little capacity to adsorb these pollutants effectively. On the other hand filters containing actual carbon 'granules' are infinitely more effective and should always be chosen over carbon sheets where the most effective gaseous pollutant removal is required. In our opinion, the app could do with a little refinement, perhaps showing air quality history from earlier on in the week. Note that the location setting isn't particularly accurate, either. Design-wise, the MeacoClean isn't the most attractive, but we do appreciated function over style when it serves a purpose as good as this one. It’s like a little robot. Just put on auto and let it do its job. We had a terrible smoke problem due to the people downstairs and now we don’t smell it anymore. It’s nice to see the unit go into gear when the color codes appear. We now have 3 total different Blueair products.

A compact cylinder made of a choice of colourful plastics, the Blue Pure 411 is beautifully simple. It stands just 42.5cm tall and has a diameter of 20cm. It's among the simplest and most compact air purifiers you can get. Because I already own a Blueair fan with a filter that I absolutely love, I couldn’t wait to try out the DustMagnet 5410i Air Purifier. Having had it for a month or two, I’m happy to recommend it for its function, and its unique look, both a hallmark of Blueair’s products. We haven’t used the air filter in our kitchen, which is at the other end of the house, so I can’t say how this does for cooking odors. Other reviewers suggest the Blueair works really well though, as long as you move it to the kitchen while cooking. Similarly, it’s hard to tell how effective the Blueair is for VOCs, given that we’re pretty diligent about avoiding these in our home. An outer fabric washable pre-filter starts the process by removing larger particles. This also extends the life of the main filter. If you're in need of a desk fan or counter-top fan that isn't white, then this Vornado fan is a fantastic option. It offers 3 settings and features a 360-degree pivot.
