Product Information

During testing, Helen was impressed by the combination of its simplicity and stylish good looks. She also noticed improved air quality and freshness without any intrusive sound or excessive energy consumption. However, keep in mind that if you have very large rooms or open-plan areas then it won’t be up to the task.

But, of course, how well the air in a room is purified – or the room temperature adjusted – will depend on the size of the room. For example, the LG PuriCare AeroTower Air Purifying Fan with True HEPA and UVnano LED can purify a room size of up to 818sq ft, whereas the Blueair Blue Pure 411 Auto is suitable for a room size of up to 441sq ft. Opt for an air purifier that isn't suitable for use in your room will mean that it ultimately won't be able to deliver optimum performance.

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. It’s great to have four operating modes so it can be set depending on what’s going on inside your home or with your allergies. So, for example, if you're a hayfever sufferer you might choose a lower setting in winter when there's not much pollen. Or if you're spring cleaning and dust is flying around as you move furniture, a higher may be required. I would also certainly switch it to Boost if I noticed the air quality light was showing red and indicating that the air was quite polluted.

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. We keep the purifier on the highest setting as it’s an excellent white noise machine. The Blueair not only helps to soothe our baby to sleep, it also drowns out the noise of the wolf that lives next door. That’s right, we have a wolf hybrid neighbor who howls for a large part of the night (and day). Without the air filter, I’m constantly woken up with spiked adrenaline (not awesome in pregnancy). With the air purifier, I sleep right through the howling. I got this smaller purifier to be a complement to two large-space Blue Air purifiers (which are a godsend.) The Pure 411 Auto has an indicator to tell you whether the air in the room is good, bad or ugly— no guessing. Set it on “auto” and it comes on if the air quality indicates it is needed. There’s also a quiet sleep mode and a full-blast maximum mode. I use this compact model in the guest room when the grandkids are over or in the den when we gather to watch TV. It’s quiet and cute — really glad we got it!

The Dyson Purifier Cool Autoreact gets our vote for the best cooling air purifier. It's also a good option for those who prefer a model without any smart functionality, this model doesn't come with an app. Unlike many filters, the Blueair Blue Pure 411 comes with a polypropylene filter that can be easily replaced and recycled. Because the pre-filter is external, though, you can easily remove and wash this, meaning it never needs replacing. And if you keep the pre-filter in good shape, with regular vacuuming and cleaning, this will help extend the life of the 2 nd and 3 rd stage filters, helping to further save resources. Despite the picture above, there is no way I'd use this in the kitchen if you're doing high-temperature cooking that will produce smoke and oily fumes. Get a more butch air purifier if you're going to do that. Or, you know, turn on the kitchen extractor fan that is there to do that exact job. As for those wildfires, it will be interesting to see how this filter performs if we get a lot of smoke again like 2020. Subjectively, it performed well in 2021, keeping our indoor air clear on the smokiest days. I didn’t have an air quality monitor at the time, however, though I do plan on acquiring one this summer. If/when I get readings, I’ll update this post with results. Maintenance is super easy, too; the fabric pre-filter can be vacuumed and machine washed. It removes easily –simply twist off the top white section, undo the velcro and slide the fabric from the filter. From here you can also remove the main filter by sliding it off the inner structure.

We found that it does have a number of small flaws in terms of response times and fan speeds though, and the performance will vary depending on the room size.Filter Type Activated coconut shell carbon. Non-woven Polypropelyne fibers. Free of chemicals and binders. Fiber shedding resistance.
