Blueair - Blue Pure 211+ 540 Sq. Ft. Air Purifier - White

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so let me just say two things: (1) This air filter allowed us to keep our new long-haired dog, and (2) see attached photo of new filter next to 5-month-old filter.

This is my 3rd and final go at an air purifier. Started with the larger Honeywell, very disappointed at filter layout for the price. Second was a dyson tower fan, over priced cheap plastic that rattled. Now the Blueair, it does the sqft I needed it to do, filter is huge, noice level is perfect, makes a lower hum instead of pitchy plastic. Changing the filter sock colors is a nice bonus. After 3 days of non stop running on low, I can already see the dust and hair being collected around the bottom. When the A/C is running I’ve noticed I don’t smell that musty damp air. Wasn’t a huge fan of the solid white top, but being the craft handy person I am, I covered it in manga/anime contact paper (posted a picture) it was really easy and anyone with a few tools can do it. Plus it’s easily removable if necessary. The charcoal smell— I ever so slightly could smell it the first day, but I have a solution, buy a car vent air freshener. Stick it in one off the holes on top, problem solved. After a couple days I removed the air freshener and couldn’t smell anything.

I live In an apartment and this bad boy gets my home smelling fresh and clean after I cook, I’ve noticed less dusty and feel as ease knowing my air is being purified for me and my kitty =(^..^)=

Purchased for living room area. Easy to put together and simple instructions make for easy setup. Compact design allows for you out somewhere within the house and doesn’t take up a lot of space. It’s super quiet on the lowest setting which is recommended, so you can’t even hear it.

So far, so great! This was a bit of a panic buy... Let me explain: Woke up yesterday morning and was in a position in my apartment that caught the sunrise at an angle I've never seen before. My jaw dropped as I could see millions of floating pieces of dust and Lord knows what else! Shifting my head away from that exact angle made all of the floating particulate matter become completely invisible to the naked eye. I moved into this luxury apartment building two years ago and I really love it. Yet I couldn't understand why I was sniffling so often and waking up most days with burning eyes. I've never had an issue with cats and there is an old boy here who mostly sleeps. I figured it was the somewhat busy road nearby. Anyways, after researching reviews and consumer reports I settled on this one and picked it up four hours later. There was noticeable difference in the air quality after just a few hours and I woke up today (24 hours of operating) feeling great. My apartment is about 700 square feet but very open and it seems to be more than capable of providing significant improvement for my situation. I've never written a review this long but I'm pretty happy with the fast results. My ONLY con I see so far is that the piece is designed in Sweden but built in China. I like to buy American made products or country of origination products. I can get over it this time =)

During quarantine, my wife started complaining about her allergies since we were working from home. Two dogs, two cats, and a teenager, it was understandable. So I did my research, and went with the Blue Pure 211+. Yes I am a technology nut, and would have loved to have wifi, but for something like this I don't see the need. Turn it on, leave it on, don't worry about it. As luck would turn out, as I was unboxing it our teenager happened to burn something in the kitchen, and we had smoke everywhere. I pulled this out of the box, turned it on, and the smoke cleared up within a few minutes. It was amazing. The air feels fresher in the house now, and we can see the pet hair collecting on the outside cover. We ended up getting a second unit with the idea that we have one by the front door to the house, and one by the back door to the house. Our house is so much fresher smelling.

4 stars soon to be 5 because we just got it and so far we hardly notice it running which is a really good thing. It's big but we had a perfect spot and just washed and changed the first prefilter, it comes with 2 . Interestingly After giving the vet 600 dollars and really having no diagnosis as to why my indoor cat was having breathing attacks daily sometimes several a day I approached it as an allergy issue...Over the course of a few weeks my cats issues/attacks have all but stopped. Now I am not completely sold that this was the cure because the vet had given the cat an injection of antibiotics before the machine came however we were convinced the vet was wrong since the attacks continued for several more weeks afterwards daily with no improvement at all. Within a few weeks of the air machine running in his living area we started to notice less and less attacks until now there are amazingly none. Each attack we though our baby was going to die! Coincidence, Just not sure yet. As for us who suffer with allergy definately feeling better sleep wise. I really like the machine. My concern is how long will the filters last and how costly will they be to replace. I picked this unit based on consumer reports reviews. I am a real person not a bot!

looks and functions great! Quiet on low setting, although a little more noticeable on high. Easy to set up and clean when needed. I’ve already stopped sneezing so much in my house. I don’t have to cook fish outside anymore, as it clears the air before morning!
