Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
For all the other features, here are some of my key decision points and useful tips:
First, I bought both a 121 and 211+ - they have similar specs, except the 121 has a 400 CADR rating rather than a 350 for the 211. I was a bit surprised to realize that they appear to have identical motor and fan units - you can swap them back and forth, and they measure identical power consumption, and sound the same. This means the 121 gets the slight boost by simply being taller and holding a larger filter. More filter area would make for more efficient filtration, and a small boost in CADR rating.
This isn't really a knock, it is just worth noting if you are considering both units. I would say the 211+ is the better value in this regard, the 121 is over $120 more expensive, has $20 more expensive filters, and only slightly more filtration capacity. If you need something just barely over the 211+ in filtration, only have space for one unit, and have a large open space, then the 121 makes sense. Otherwise, if you need more than the 221 provides, and you have a space that isn't just one big open room, then buy two 211+s - it is still a better value than most of the other comparable units, and two small units will filter an uneven space better than one loud one.
As for noise, these are both very quiet units (same noise, because they seem to have the same fan). The background noise in my house measured at 38dB, and I measured on an iPhone running DecibelX, A-weighted, at 1 meter from the unit, horizontally, mic pointed at the unit.
- Low - 39dB, just barely over the background noise. It is not obvious that the unit is even on.
- Medium - 48dB, I can tell that it is on from around the room, but only if I listen for it.
- High - 55dB, OK, now it is making some noise, but it is soft in tone, not rattling or whining. Still reasonable in volume, and easy to talk over. It wouldn't kill your conversation and if you sleep with a white noise machine it might actually be similar volume (our DreamEgg at mid-high volume is about this loud).
Power consumption is as indicated on the package - 30W, 43W, 62W, as measured by my meter. Quite reasonable again given the ~400CFM the fan must be blowing.
Small things to appreciate:
- The unit is attractive and simple. It doesn't look like a weird 90's appliance with a bunch of random protuberances or shiny stickers. It is clean and Swedish, and would integrate with a lot of decor. The changeable pre-filters come with a light blue and a midnight blue, and you can buy others. Looks fine without it as well, pure white.
- The overall construction is simple and sturdy - a metal box to hold the square (but flat folding) filter, and an upper box with the controller and fan unit.
- Upward blowing and pulling from all sides makes for a lot of filter area - units that just pull in the side or front are going to have a lot less filter area for the same air flow - meaning more noise.
- The button on the front is capacitive - touch to change between off -> low -> med -> high -> off. It is sensitive and easy to use - I change it with my toe while holding a baby.
- The unit remembers the last setting if the power is removed and restored. This means you can use it with a timer or in my case, Home Assistant automation!
- The LED showing the current speed dims to 10% after a few seconds - very nice - I'm usually forced to put black tape over everything I buy to dim the bright LEDs everyone uses.
The unit does not include Wifi (pointless and risky), particle counters (not going to be accurate at these price points), a display (why does it need one?), or an auto mode (read the articles on Smart Air about auto modes - they are mostly useless and sometimes much worse than just setting a moderate level and letting the unit run all the time). Basically it has everything you want - quiet fan, large filter area, easy buttons, and nothing you don't want.
It isn't the cheapest unit, but it isn't the most expensive either. Compared to very cheap units you get a quieter fan and a more proven filter technology from a vetted company. Compared to more expensive units you lose some (mostly useless) control features, and some options for multi-stage filtering or chemical canisters like you might see from a (8X the price) IQair. My inlaws have a Blueair Classic 605 and this unit is smaller and quieter, for only slightly less filtration capacity, at 1/3rd the price.
All in all, an easy recommendation if the filtration capacity meets your space needs.
Wake up with a clear head for a change. The 2 units set to the lowest speed are doing a fine job of covering about 1400 square feet.
They are super quiet on low speed. I’ve checked to be sure they are running a few times. I know I feel better, one of my senior pups is breathing much better. I wish I had purchased these years ago. Highly recommend, especially if your pets share your bedroom.
Set up was easy. I’m in my 70’s and didn’t have any problems - just work smart, not hard. Delivery was super fast both times.
Update; 2 units have been operating 24/7 on low speed ( covering about 1,400 square feet) for 3+ weeks. Damp and doggie smells have vanished. Air is fresh and crisp. No longer necessary to pull in outside air occasionally. Or to spray mist several bursts of water once or twice each morning.
My senior pup is acting peppy with renewed interest in her toys. Her breathing is normal. I’m feeling much better with clear sinuses, far fewer- and milder headaches, much reduced eye irritation.
Top reviews from other countries
1. Lo usé en la cocina porque hice pescado y ahora le quedó el olor a pescado ='(
2. Después lo usé para purificar humo de cigarro en la recámara y..... ahora al prenderlo huele a pescado + cigarro.
Horrible.....
To those saying it's difficult to remove from the box - I'm 5'3 and not a big person. While it's somewhat cumbersome to remove from the shipping box, it's really not that difficult. Grab the packaging box by the sides and continue lifting until it slides out - takes maybe 30 seconds. Unless you aren't able bodied and then I'd recommend slicing the carboard box sides on each corner with an exacto knife so that the box folds open
Removing the unit from the packaging box? Get your hands halfway down inside the box, grip the sides of the unit (not the top part, it even has a sticker on it asking the user *not* to pull from the top since that's the portion that disconnects from the base) and pull up. Takes a moment but it'll slide right out.
In terms of the size (which is available online *before* you purchase) it's 13" wide x 13" deep x 20" tall. I'll be moving it from my bedroom to living room on occasion, it's not cumbersome to move at all because it's light. If you've got the pre-filter on, slide your hands under the pre-filter, grip the lower half of the unit and pick it up. Pretty simple.
Sound: Low/eco setting is *very* quiet, medium setting is akin to medium speed on a traditional fan and high is, well, akin to the high setting on a fan. I've got the unit sitting 1.5 feet away from me (my bedroom is not that large) and the medium setting isn't very loud, I could take a call and still hear who I'm speaking to. They might be able to hear it in the background but I mean.. just turn it down temporarily.
I'll update in a week or two once it's been running for awhile. I live beside a construction site and near a bunch of trees, my allergies are brutal and I've been without relief for a few weeks now. Hoping for a marked improvement.
