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

Totally wish I would caved into my boyfriend years ago with this thing. The quality of air in my apartment is amazing. No more opening the windows to let fresh but gross sticky hot humid air in and ruin my electronics. This thing is quite easy to place in a small apartment and not plastic like every other air purifier out there. I leave my apartment and bust up inside it to get fresh air and for a brief couple minutes day dream that I step back in time to high school way up in the mountains stepping outside my cabin home to rush off to school. The brisk morning high altitude cold evergreen air plunging into my deprived lungs as if gasping for oxygen for the first time in their 32 year life. Apparently this thing uses less electricity then a light bulb. We will see about that when our electric bill comes in. Even if its 100 bucks more a month this baby is staying plugged in where he is. I was even contemplating getting one for our bed room but now I dont even think I need it. I have an open floor plan 1000 sq ft apartment and blue sits right in middle in the living room. This little workhorse has been on full blast for a full 24 hours and the air in my entire house is free of dust or any other impurity even my boyfriend's midnight gas which is amazing. I'm in love with my home all over again. Get it now for real for real. And thank me later.

My husband suffers from bad allergies. We had been eyeing different purifiers and couldn't settle on one until we saw the consumer reports review on this model. We decided to take a chance on it. This unit is SO incredible at removing dust in our environment that we are going to be purchasing a second one with Christmas money. My husband's allergies have been so improved, he's cut back on his allergy meds. On top of that, my asthma has improved as well. My son is no longer complaining that his throat hurts all the time. This unit is fantastic. On high, it sounds reminiscent of a wind tunnel. On medium/low, the volume is awesome and almost functions as a white noise generator - perfect for sleeping! You won't regret this unit. 15/10 score, no kidding.

We bought this because there were 2 huge wildfires (we're talking 121,000 acres) within about a 25 minute drive of our home. The smoke was terrible, we had days where the Air Quality Index was in the 400s. With an 11 month old at home we decided to try this. It cleaned out the smokey smell so well! We couldn't be happier with that. It is easy to use, quiet, and does the job well. It was a pretty descent price for the sq footage that it covers as well. There are 2 things about it that I don't love: 1- The size - it is a bit bulky and hard hide it. I would like to have something more discrete 2- Sometimes it left the air with an unusual smell. Kind of like Apple Cider Vinegar. It was a faint smell that was only there some of the time.

This purifier does an excellent job of clearing dust, making the air clean. However, there is a distinct charcoal smell from the filter that just won't go away. You can really smell it if you leave the room and come back. I ran the purifier for 3 weeks hoping it would just go away. I believe the fault is in bad design, as they designed the charcoal filter as the last filter in the process. Nearly all other purifiers put the charcoal filter first or middle, and then the HEPA filter. This model goes HEPA filter, then charcoal, then out it goes. Or it could be Blue Air uses better charcoal in their premium line. I returned it and got the Honeywell HPA300, and finally clean smelling air. If they ever fix the charcoal smell, this would be a great purifier.

I recently moved into a much smaller space. Having two dogs in the same room for a majority of the day and night really made the air quality go down. I started waking up with scratchy throats and lots of grossness. This usually happens when the dogs are due for a shower, but this wasnt the case. After running this and a few days have passed, I wake up feeling normal. It ranges from quiet to as loud as any other fan, so Im happy with it. I dont like the touch button as I fear it will one day fail, but its fine so far. I like the color options. Expensive, but the filters are a bit cheaper then competitors and will last longer since I am using this in a room rated at about 1/3 its capacity.

I've tried other air purifiers, but the BlueAir 211+ is a genuinely great buy. The filter is quiet, except for the top speed setting, which still isn't bad enough to be terribly distracting. The BlueAir's compact size fits well into any room space versus some large "console" models. The single touch button on the front of unit simplifies operation, since I believe most users will just prefer to plug it in and forget about. Turn it on and walk away. The one caveat is that don't expect it to clear the air in just a few hours of use. Pet and cooking odors need a day or two to go away. On day two of constant use, there was a marked improvement in all aspects of air quality.

I purchased this due to a huge, messy construction project at my home. I needed something to keep the fine dust and dirt to a minimum to mainly protect humans and animals in the home. Even with plastic up, I didn't want a huge mess. This air purifier really does a great job. When the power gets shut off for any reason, as soon as it comes back on, the unit turns on at the lowest setting. How awesome is that! Also, the two covers (pre-filters) that come with the unit are a great way to extend the life of the filter and are super easy to vacuum or wash. I didn't want the filter to have to deal with dog hair, and the pre-filter prevents that.

We started using this in the hallway between the living room and bedroom. Since we started using the purifier, I have not had sinus problems stopping up my sinus at night at all. Prior to using this I always had to use a nasal spray before bed or a Neti Pot before bed. I have not had to use either since using this product. On the highest setting it is a little loud for me when in the same room, but on the Low and Med settings it is fine. In the hallway we use High, but it is in the hallway and does not cause a problem.
