Q: Is this being discontinued? I saw it listed today on clearance at half price.
A: Obviously. Its been out of stock for months now. Blue air is liars
A: It will not be able to move a lot of volume of air through a doorway. Put it in the largest open space you have but then look at smaller units for a bedroom.
A: I don't think their manual explains this at all and can't recall the website that explained it. Half the air quality indicator is for airborne particles. The stuff the unit can clean and remove in it's filters. The OTHER half of the light is for VOC. Volatile Organic Compounds. The unit doesn't appear to 'scrub' those but the light indicates that their is an air quality issue.
Q: Are the filters washable? If not, are they recyclable? What is the cost of replacement filters?
A: Hi there, HealthProtect SmartFilter 7400 is not washable and needs to be replaced every 6 months to a year, depending on usage. The replacement filters cost $69.99.
A: Blueair Air Purifiers blow out a slightly cool air and is not used to regulate room temperature. The Blueair HealthProtect comes with activated carbon coated filters that will effectively remove odors such as formaldehyde and mold.
A: Hi Michaela! Regarding our 7410i air purifier; on the lowest fan speed it puts out 22dB and on the highest fan speed it puts out 45dB. Decibel rate for the middle fan speed isn't calculated.
A: Thank you for your question! Yes we have had the Protect 7400 series tested in laboratory conditions to remove the SARS-CoV-2 covid virus from the air. It has not been proven to kill or prevent the spread of covid though. The GermShield™ technology used in the Protect™ models is specifically developed to stop germ growth and kill germs 24/7 as the technology can be used also when the air purifier is in standby mode (Tested on Staphylococcus albus and MS2 bacteriophage (deactivation) and E.coli (growth prevention).
A: Hello, it may in fact be true that your environment is more clean than you think. We suggest doing a test to check if the auto function is faulty. Simply light a candle and match close to the purifier and extinguish it, allowing for smoke to be detected by the Health Protect. Under normal circumstances the Health Protect should be able to pick up the lingering smoke and kick into a higher fan speed. If the problem persists, we suggest arranging for an exchange from the original Best Buy you've purchased from or contact [email protected] and request for a warranty exchange by providing a proof of purchase. We'd be very happy to send you a new one under warranty.
