In this post, we’ll share with you our review of the Blueair Classic model of air purifiers. What you’ll find with this line of Blueair cleaners is that they offer several advantages that set them apart from many other manufacturer products. In fact, Blueair works very hard to exceed industry standards and create air purifiers that offer unparalleled performance. Their goal is to create the best air purification solutions that ensure you breathe air that’s as fresh and clean as nature intended. We highly recommend these air cleaners for people with allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems who want to breathe the cleanest, most purified air. In this review, we first explain how each of the Blueair models are the same and then point out key differences between each product. (You can compare air purifiers from other manufacturers here.) The Blueair Classic series consists of four model numbers: What you’ll find with these models is that they share five excellent features in common.

Regardless of the model number you choose, you’ll enjoy these aspects listed below. All Blueair Classic air purifiers contain HEPASilent® technology. This feature is an enhanced version of the High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filter that’s used in competitor products. The HEPASilent® technology is unique because it produces the highest rate of clean air delivery along with the lowest levels of noise. Each model captures 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.1 micron in size and is whisper silent. Standard HEPA filters are only capable of capturing particles as small as 0.3 microns and do produce louder noise. Each Blueair air purifier is backed with the Energy Star rating. This ensures that every unit meets the guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. The average cost to operate a Blueair air purifier is equivalent to the energy required to run a single household light bulb. We could dedicate a whole article outlining the various awards and special mentions that Blueair has received for their air purifying products, but to save time we’ve listed the top five acknowledgements below.

No matter which Blueair product you choose: 203, 403, 503 or 603, you’re getting an air cleaning product that has an award winning design.air duct cleaning warsaw in A final aspect that you’ll find through the Blueair Classic series is that each model is independently verified by the Association of Home Appliance manufacturers (AHAM) and exceeds the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) requirements. spike air cleaner honda shadowThis ensures that you’re getting a top-of-the-line air purifier that’s dedicated to producing the cleanest air possible.homedics professional air purifier All Blueair models come with a magnetic filter timer that you can attach to the unit, refrigerator, or anywhere else. This timer counts down and alert you to when it is time to change the filter.

This ensures that you’re never getting anything less that the highest quality air inside your home or office. Now that you know which features all of the Blueair Classic models have in common, we’ll point out how each one is different. This section should give you a clear idea which model number you should consider for your home or office.Blueair purifiers deliver both of the things necessary for truly great air cleaning performance: reliable true-HEPA filters and a high air flow rate. The airflow is important because a small amount of pure air will not protect you against the high levels of pollution coming from outdoors in Beijing: you need a LOT of clean air. The Blueair 503 for example delivers up to 750m3 per hour through its filters, twice the rate of its nearest (and more expensive) rival. It is also important to get an air cleaner that matches the size of the space you have. Blueair produces a range of models that extend from 15m2 (a small bedroom or office) up to large machines that will cope with open-plan living room or office.

Let us visit your home or office and survey your space for you and recommend the appropriate air purifiers that you need. The CADR standard test (developed by the American Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)) is the only objective measure available for comparing air purifier performance across brands. Always ask to see the CADR figures when you assess an air purifier (these are listed on our models page) since they make a good starting point for comparing models. Most manufacturers accept the CADR standard (including Blueair), but some manufacturers reject it because their models perform poorly in this test. Blueair filters work at peak efficiency from the time you fit them for all of their recommended life. There is no drop-off in performance, in fact filter performance actually improves as you begin to use a new filter. And because filter changing is simple most Blueair users really do get the performance their air purifiers are designed to deliver.

Many air purifiers are also too noisy. Blueair cleaners run quiet (quieter than your aircon for example). This is because air flows more freely through a Blueair HEPASilent filter, so the fan in a Blueair machine does not need to work as hard. This might seem a small point, but in practice it can make the difference between using an air cleaner at night and not using it. Our page on Blueair models gives decibel sound levels for all the air cleaners, but the best way to experience this is to come to the Torana Clean Air Center and judge for yourself. Blueair purifiers use a unique progressive filter design, with 3 filter grades combined into a single filter block, trapping the full range of particle sizes from visible lint and fluff down to the smallest pollutants. The progressive design ensures that the final, sensitive HEPA filter is protected from coarse particles and is less prone to clogging than purifiers with simpler filter designs. Some air cleaners use up to 3 separate replaceable filter parts, which all need to be changed at different times.

This means that there is no way to know when to change filters, unless you keep a detailed air cleaner diary (we think you have better things to do with your time). Many air purifiers that we see in homes we visit are not working correctly because the owners are not sure when to change the filters. The Blueair models in contrast use only one 3-in1 filter block, which is replaced every 6 months. Changing it is as easy as swinging the door open, sliding the old filter out and sliding the new filter in. Takes about 30 seconds. Torana will also remind you and deliver the new filter on time. Blueair purifiers were amongst the first air purifiers to earn the Energy Star, a program developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. All Blueair models meet or exceed Energy Star requirements and consume less energy than many comparable models. The Blueair company won the prestigious Excellent Swedish Design Award for combining functionality with attractive, contemporary design.

The 402 air purifier is part of the National Museums Permanent Exhibit in Stockholm. Constructions standards of Blueair purifiers are exceptional: most air purifiers are made of plastic, but Blueair purifiers are made of powder-coated galvanised steel. This, combined with sound muffling technology makes them both durable and quiet. Unlike some purifiers, Blueair cleaners do not produce ozone: tests show that ozone levels in output air are lower than input. Blueair machines fitted with charcoal-containing smokestop filters are highly effective ozone-absorbers, protecting you from ozone in city air. Blueair machines and filters are priced similarly in China to the US and Europe: we don't charge twice as much here as overseas. This makes protecting your family and office affordable. Replacement filters are also reasonably priced, making running costs acceptable. Blueair purifiers are covered by a 5 year warranty on parts and labor. Unlike many air purifiers bought in China, you can continue to use your Blueair air purifiers "back home" with a simple voltage conversion.
