About this deal

Damage resulting from accident, alteration, misuse, abuse, neglect, unreasonable use, use contrary to the operating instructions, normal wear and tear, commercial use, improper assembly, disassembly, failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance, fire, flood, acts of God, or repair by anyone unless directed by an Instant Brands representative. Smoke, dust and pollen all represent alternate particle sizes and can help assess where the air purifier may excel or struggle. Smoke represents the smaller particles, accounting for 0.09-1.0 microns, while dust sits in the middle, from 0.5-3.0 microns. And pollen has a larger particle size of 0.5-11.0 microns.

This Instant™ Air Purifier will start delivering cleaner air in minutes and completely recycles the room’s air five times per hour³. The numbers translate to how many cubic feet of air the purifier can clean per minute. The standard goal is to clean a full room’s worth of air in 15 minutes. So, for instance, a 300-square-foot room would need an air purifier with a CADR of 200 or so, assuming ceilings were 10 feet high and any doors and windows were closed.

Using Plasma Ion Technology to project positive and negative ions. These target and neutralise airborne impurities and pollutants for cleaner air. Equipped with intelligent sensors that monitor air quality and automatically adjust the fan speed . Although there haven’t been any specific air purifiers tested against the Covid-19virus, the CDC recommends most top-rated air purifiers have efficient filters capable of capturing pesky, particles similar to coronavirus, and “can help prevent virus particlesfrom accumulating in the air in your home”. Where is the best place to put an air purifier in your room? This can be a useful feature to have, particularly if you want to better understand your air and want to source where your allergies are coming from. It’s also nice to see the evidence that the air purifier is making a difference. The Honeywell HPA300 is a bulky beast of a device that offers strong performance considering its reasonable price. It’s a large oval air purifier with slats all around, measuring 22.3 x 20.0 x 10.8 inches. It’s pretty heavy at 17 pounds, and I found the exposed lip on the base was sharp enough to scratch your legs as you move it. So this is the kind of air purifier you won’t want to move around once you set it down. It suits rooms up to 465 square feet, making it ideal for larger spaces. Design:The Winix 5500-2 comes with several settings, including an auto setting, a night mode and four fan speeds as well as an air quality indicator. There’s also a timer with one, four or eight hour options. The air quality indicator shines blue for good, amber for fair and red for poor, and when the auto function is selected it will adjust its fan speed accordingly. The remote control lets you adjust the fan speed from afar, however you can’t select the Plasmawave function, timer or night mode. This air purifier comes with a pre-filter and carbon filter layer, both of which are washable, and a HEPA filter. It’s worth flagging that it’s quite a heavy design, weighing 15 pounds, so you won't want to move it often.

When you activate Eco Mode, the sensor will instruct the motor to turn on and off, depending on how polluted your home’s air is. This is an ultra-convenient feature that pretty much eliminates the need for users to mess around with the AP300’s control panel. Auto-Sleep Mode If you’re thinking about buying an air purifier, bear in mind that this does mean it will be on open display in your room. You might want to opt for a design which is aesthetically pleasing or matches your décor as a consequence. For instance, you can replace the color of the exterior skirt on the Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Auto to suit your taste. Don’t buy a design that’s bigger than necessary for the same reason. If it’s only a small room, you don’t want a chunky design out in the open, taking up valuable space. While looks are important, don’t forget that performance always comes first, which is where our tests can help. There’s no point in buying an attractive air purifier if it makes little difference to the quality of the air. Should I get a smart air purifier? Design:This air purifier comes with three default fan speeds, although the app will give you access to more, as well as an auto and night mode. It’s got an LCD screen on top of the device that gives you up-to-date information on what it’s sensing including the local temperature, filter lifetime remaining, and the relative humidity of the room. Plus, with two lights on the front — one representing gas pollutants and the other for larger particles — this air purifier has the clearest indicator of air quality I’ve seen and it's quite satisfying to watch it change in real time. It comes with a unique HEPASilent Ultrafilter as well as a “GermShield” mode that claims to activate when it’s in a “germ-prone environment”. However, Instant recommends placing the AP300 in 388-square-foot rooms for better results (5 air changes per hour). 3-in-1 Filtration Performance claims are calculated based on testing of a single particulate, A. Niger (mold) E. Coli (bacteria), S. Epidermidis (bacteria) or Phi-X174, under laboratory conditions following 1 hour of air purifier operation at the maximum fan speed and with plasma ion technology on. Actual results may vary, depending on usage environment (temperature, humidity, room size and shape, nature and number of particulates in air, etc.), placement of the unit, and product usage (operation duration, operation mode, etc.). Best results with continuous use.

Performance:With a CADR of 270, 275 and 280 across smoke, dust and pollen, this air purifier is a strong performer which will suit rooms of up to 418 sq ft. It would perhaps suit those who struggle with pollen allergies the most due to its excelled performance in this field. Even though it is the quietest of the bunch at just 48dB on its highest setting, it’s also worth mentioning that it tends to use more energy than other devices at 0.241 kWh in 24 hours, so all that data comes at a cost. The app does improve the overall performance though in terms of better accessibility and additional settings — one feature solely possible through its app is the capability to dim all the lights while keeping the fan at a particular setting.

Performance: In terms of CADR, this air purifier scored 232, 243 and 246 for smoke, dust and pollen. This puts it amongst some of the top performers of those I tested, especially for pollen. It was also the runner up for energy consumption, requiring only 0.105 kWh over 24 hours — so it won’t cost an arm and a leg to run. Noise was admittedly a little hit and miss; it was fairly quiet on its lowest setting at 35.3dB, however it reached 59.8dB at maximum, which was second only to the Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Auto at 60.8dB. In terms of the Plasmawave technology, I didn’t notice any specific change to the air purifier when it was activated. But, with such high CADRs, it does question its necessity. Advanced filtration system: HEPA-13 filter captures 99.97% of dust, dander, pollen, smoke, allergens and other ultrafine impurities in the air; carbon layer in the filter helps reduce odorsFeatures an advanced 3-in-1 filtration system: 1) A true HEPA-13 filter captures 99.97% of dust, dander, pollen, allergens and other ultrafine impurities in the air. 2) A carbon filter layer in the filter helps reduce odours. 3) An antimicrobial coating prevents bacterial growth on the filter and protects it against degradation Purified air is then shot upward and distributed to all four corners of a room, spreading fresh, breathable air everywhere. Instant Air Purifier AP300 Verdict; Compact, Heavy-Duty, Smart—A Must Have! Uses an advanced filtration system and plasma ion technology to remove 99.9% of the virus causing COVID-19 from treated air (1) True HEPA-13 filter captures 99.97% of dust, dander, pollen, allergens and other ultrafine impurities in the air To make the AP300 even better, users have the option of activating the AP300’s plasma ionizer. The ionizer discharges negatively charged ions into the air that latch onto dust, bacteria, and other allergens, allowing them to adhere to the filters more easily.

The Blueair Blue Pure 411 Auto is the answer if you need an air purifier to suit a smaller room. While its CADR readings aren’t as high as others on the list, it’s still more than capable of adequately cleaning up to 190 sq ft. Plus it offers all of the settings you need, including an auto function. In general, you'll want to look for a purifier that uses a true high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. Night mode detects the lighting in the room and turns off the display lighting, turns off the plasma ion generator and reduces the noise to a whisper-quiet level (4)PM2.5 sensor monitors the concentration of ultrafine particles in the air and translates it to an air quality percentage² Blueair’s HealthProtect 7470i has all the technological bells and whistles anyone could ever want, including smart connectivity and extensive data on the air quality. It also provides an impressive performance when it comes to air purification, and is quiet in use, making it ideal for those who need to concentrate. However, for all of this it’s quite an expensive and heavy device. Air purifiers are often placed in a corner of the bedroom to run quietly at night while we sleep. You’ll find many models will come with a night mode for this exact purpose. When activated, this setting will lower the fan speed and reduce the noise output, so you can sleep through its operation while still reaping the benefits of clean air. Any lights on the control panel will often dim to help you sleep soundly as well. Starts delivering cleaner air in minutes and completely recycles the rooms air five times per hour(3)
