If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!
Thank you, this helped me decide to purchase one.
It also doubles as a fan / white noise machine. It moves air around for a nice refreshing cool breeze.
I bought this based on the CR article. I've never owned an air filter but I reluctantly succumb to the fact that I have allergies after years of denying it and proclaiming my health and vitality have some how denied science.
It arrived in the afternoon and I set it up running in our bedroom on its highest setting. Later that evening we retreated to said bedroom and I literally felt a difference in the air. Not like a mood or an ambiance but a tactical tactile difference. I have been sleeping better than ever before.
I've only owed this thing for a week so you make your own judgements.
Yes, air purifiers really do make a difference. I've recommended them to all family members that suffer from allergies. Glad to hear you're having a good experience also.
yes man i totally agree same thing happend to me
Get a bagged vacuum cleaner like a Miele with a hepa filter too. My room smells different after I use it.
How are you liking your air purifier 9 months later?
placebo effect?
Yes. I always have the air purifier on.
My button turned red after changing the filter.. then reset it and turned white.. how can i turn the button into blue again?! Pls help.. thanks
Thank you very much for this review. For this BlueAir purifier, you answered my question on HEPASILENT filtration, and on my concern on IONIZATION. You give a nice explanation, and it is pleasant to hear the positive and negative comments from an expert like you,. Thank you also to the Consumer Analysis team. “Merci beaucoup”.
You are very welcome!
Would you recommend one of these if you can get it for $140 even with the filter not being HEPA?
i kinda like the visible pre-filter. i have a coway mighty, but even though i can't see the pre-filter, it's a little frumpy looking. and because i can't see the pre-filter, i tend to clean it less often than my blueair ... and once clean, the blueair just looks better sitting in a room.
We have have these units and have Hemp-a units, we use both types, the blue air
, the blue air catches dog hair and larger particles.
All of our units we run 24 seven, the hemps units, all run 24=7
We use levoit units various models in our home
Between both unit types we are happy
Regards
No running it so we can hear how it sounds?
Which is better blueair blue 211 or blue air classic 205 ?
So what is the top rated unit you recommend? I’ve watched a few videos and this one was the top choice. I was about to buy till I seen this video.
You claim it doesn’t have hepa filter but On blueair description, it says it has a hepasilent technology, are they different ?
You can machine wash pre filters. Not a problem at all. I love my purifier.
Is it smart capable?
I like my Pure 211+. It's better than my other purifier Airthereal aph260. The best pair purifier that I own is the Trusens z3000, especially with the TruSens DuPont Replacement Carbon for Large Z-3000 Odor & VOC Filter. It removes odor like no other.
Brilliant review. Love the color scheme of the video😁
Thank you!
Can’t recommend these enough. I’ve had two for about 8 months and they make such a big difference (especially if you have pets). I also have the 411 and just ordered another 211+ because wild fires are the new normal
Thanks for your comment. How would you compare the 411 and the 211, does one really need the 211 instead of the 411? Can the 411 be used in a larger room if you just run it longer?
@@Sam_A_Sam no running it longer wont make a smaller unit as effective in a larger room. Thats not saying the smaller unit will be useless, but if you want the full benefit you need a unit rated for the size of room you intend on placing it.
how about xiaomi 3H?
This is the best air cleaner I ever purchased while the filter isn't hepa independent research showed it was just as or more effective also while you stated u cannot turn off the ionizer--true but it doesn't emit ANY ozone in fact it clears ozone so that was misleading in your review.. ALSO why buy something with 20 settings 5speeds 5 filters all this crap when all you want is clean air. Anything with too many settings buttons and electronics takes away from what the intent of what the device does - Vitamix has been around for 50yrs and that's why-it just works!
Feel the same about this product and am ordering a second one.. Also, it's made in Sweden NOT CHINA people
1) Unfortunately (for a number of reasons), Blueair has relatively recently moved manufacturing to China. Blueair was purchased by Unilever. They are no longer the fully Swedish autonomous company they once were. And just to be clear: Regarding any comments that are made about "Made in China" not being such a bad thing... Even ignoring personal feelings/considerations, this is often simply not true... If you work with electronics or many other manufacturing areas for that matter, you will be extremely aware that while often much more costly, the parts that are made in Korea & Japan are almost always *vastly* superior to those that are made in China. Many high end European manufacturers have their low end products manufactured in China, but not their high (or even) mid range products. Quality may not be the only reason to avoid "Made in China" but very often it absolutely is still a valid one when considering options. You are not going to see Austin Air (or likely IQAir) moving production to China anytime soon... Winix (manufacturer of Consumer Analysis' current top purifier) produces in Korea as well. Understand, there are so many beautiful things about China -- this is not China "hate", but from a manufacturing perspective and recognized objection from many people for other reasons, noting the origin of manufacture can be a legitimate consideration.
2) Consumer Analysis' preference for True HEPA is very reasonable and well founded. While the Bluair units do perform FANTASTICALLY when new and with fresh filters, the HEPASilent technology comes at a cost. It *does* lose efficiency as the filters load (naturally, how quickly the efficiency declines depends on how quickly the filters load). Those more open Blueair filters depend on electrostatic charging to work to specification and as they become more coated, the positive draw from the filter is reduced. This is just a reality with electrostatic technology. To counter the weakness of electrostatic filters, Blueair ingeniously introduced ion brushes that ionize the particles and thus increase the likelihood that those (now) super-charged particles will stick to the filter media. Though Blueair does not say as much, those ion brushes begin to spread out over time (years) and progressively lose their ability to ionize like they used to. At this point, even new filters cannot compensate. On their "Classic" line, the ion brushes also tend to become coated with debris and are nearly unserviceable for the owner. If the brushes could be replaced, they might really be onto something brilliant.
A True HEPA system will generally work as well 5 years later with a new filter as it did on day one as long as the fan is running similarly well. In fact, with use, true HEPA media can become even *more* effective at removing particles. However, resistance increases and thus can adversely affect airflow.
The company is Swedish but It's still made in China.
The Chinese nowadays make good products anyway so it's not a downside.
@@MAFz7 If I'd had a drink when I read your comment, I might have had to buy a new keyboard. You win the prize for being funny 😂.
With you on the Vitamix!!
@@ABG2412 oh myyyyy, tell us how you really feel 🤔😳🤦
what's with the laptop
Thank you for this review. The point about how hair and other bigger particles get stuck on the outside, which would drive me crazy. I was going to buy this and you changed my mind.
Glad I could help!
I just toss the prefilter in the washing machine
What did you buy instead?
@@samqueen17 I bought a Winix from Costco. We love it. However we don’t use the plasma wave technology because we heard that it can mess with a person’s asthma. I love that there are carbon pellets instead of a mesh and that it can be easily vacuumed and washed. I prefer the form factor to the BlueAir and it is more lightweight because we sometimes move it around. www.costco.com/winix-c555-air-cleaner-with-plasmawave-technology.product.100280312.html However, my sister-in-law has the BlueAir and she loves it. So I guess a matter of preference. My daughter and I both have long hair and I didn’t want to have to clean an external air filter all the time...
I thought 211 has HEPA Filter??
Have you noticed a chemical smell? Some reviews say that it emitted a very powerful plastic smell
Why would you want to turn the ionizer off? Is there negative things about ionizers?
They create ozone.
This work well with odors? Just bought one for that purpose, didn’t realize it wasn’t a HEPPA filter. :/
Does it work for odors?
Well. A hepa filter filtrates particels at a 0,3 micron size. This filter filtrates particels at 0,1 micron. AND the 221 has a carbon filter. In my line of bis we use filters that filtrates 0,01 micron particels. So this is nothing unic or extreme.
Need to get better air for newborn. Is this still a good choice?
Get iqair
Is the ionization bad?
Where would you place this if you have a large bird cage?
So...what are the top rated units??? AND rated by whom?
They are listed here: www.consumeranalysis.com/guides/air-purifiers/best-air-purifier/
I test and rate all of the air purifiers I discuss in these videos and on the website above.
So this is a review without any sort of filtration testing? If you had 5 True Hepa purifier then I'm sure your top pick would be the one with the most features written on the box. For a purifier, filtration quality is the top priority.
I've watched other review and this thing out clean the $800 machines
If i dont care about nothing else then DUST REMOVAL , what air purifier should i pick ?
For dust removal you only need a unit with a good pre-filter and good particle filter. My current pick for dust removal is the Winix 5500-2. I do have a full video on this topic as well: ua-cam.com/video/xuuiRnK_Jzk/v-deo.html
@@consumer-analysis Ok, thank you. I have air filters primarily for my cat litter box room, and within other rooms to keep clean air.
When I heard "proprietary" that is an immediate negative for me. That means expensive hard to get filters. No HEPA means NO BUY.
We have one of these air purifiers and I cannot tell that it does anything to clean the air. I hoped it would help with allergy/sinus issues, but have not noticed any difference from before we purchased the unit.
A high quality particle meter like the Dylos DC1100 Pro would allow you to check if the unit is in fact lowering particle concentration in the room.
So why didn't you name the top rated units you would recommend?
The list of top rated units will likely change in the future. I can't edit the video later but I can easily edit the text in the video description later - which is why I list top rated units in text in the description for the video.
If I would've watched this review before buying I probably wouldn't have bought it. But I bought slightly used(like new condition) one with an extra filter still in the box and it was only $150. The main reason I bought it was for pet dander from my dog and macaw and I heard it works great for that. Normally a HEPA filter and a UV light would've been higher on my list but the price was too good to pass on this. 3 speeds are totally fine with me and I love the quiet action. Timers and wifi just seem like clutter to me and I'm super happy with the simplicity of this(so far). Let's see how quickly it gets dirty and how easy to clean and change the filter.
Any updates? Is the bird ok? I'm trying to find out more information asI was reading some filters aren't good for birds. I've only seen the rabbitair address t his
@@Osmanthus550 I love it! The house never smells like bird. The filter isn't cheap($40 for generic and $65-80 for OEM) and you're supposed to replace it every 3 months. But it's a quality product and it works. My macaw is healthy and happy. if you have smaller birds I recommend talking to your Vet first.
its true...the prefilter is visible...but wow ....does a great job catching cat hair
Great video. The audio on your shuh’s is clipping and very harsh.
Thank you for the feedback. We will look into it.
What is a 'shuh', if I may ask...?
@@kaohsiung99 it’s when u ask questions and we tell you to SHUH! As in shush!
thats a positive . you know when it needs cleaning.
I like that's it's viable
There is nothing wrong with low level ionization- when used internally near surfaces that will be "charged" it is less likely that the ionized air escapes the unit in the form of Ozone- this is because the Ions are immediately able to bond to something IE- the filter media and particles.
Even then, low levels of ozone is safe.
It takes a pretty powerful ionizer to produce enough ozone to cause negative effects to health- I personally use a PCO air purifier (more like sanitizer) and it really gets rid of dog smells- I recently had it shut off for a day when I washed the pre-filter and I distinctly smelled dog in the house. The amount of ozone coming off of the PCO is hardly detectable (you would have to turn the fan to low and stick your nose right up to the vent to barely smell ozone.)
The bastardization of Ozone is caused by uneducated idiots not understanding what it is, and the years quacks sold those old machines that put out unsafe levels of the stuff- treat it like bleach- a tiny bit works great as a simple and effective sanitizer, but use too much and you can get very ill.
I need a Purifier to take care of the actual particles in the air because of how much pollen I deal with, and this is probably going to be what I get based on it's design.
So it's good and me buy too??:)
My light is red, and cannot be reset to green. I contacted the manufacturer and this is not covered by the limited warranty.
You need to replace the filter then I believe. Every 6 months or possibly sooner if the air quality in your home is not that great.
Do you always leave it on?
Yes.
Replace the filter, wash the pre-filter, and then press and hold the top button down until the light resets. You may need to hold the button down for several seconds until it resets.
2:39...hmmm...visual air particles on the outside...mine would be near my cat litter boxes...do not think that would be kosher....gosh... .
Interested in this brand because it has top reviews in function. I was using another brand but looking to switch it up...no HEPA....geesh...maybe I should just tape a filter onto a floor fan..Lol
Pause he said deep 😹
The ionizer is the reason it works. Air purifiers without them are just noise.
Can’t agree with that
Unit unit unit
Lolll. It’s huuuuge.
So this nerd not once explained how to use the features
This guy is a Winix fanboy.
I tried the windix and it didn't even do anything so I returned it. Will try the blue air and see how it performs. If it sucks too then I'm gonna return it too.
@@eyang7 What do you think mate? Did you get this model?
