Blueair Dust Magnet Review - 6 Months Later

[@blasborg]

Thanks for reviewing this product. The meaningful question IMO is how much more dust this removes than a more standard air purifier like Winix 5500-2 , Coway Mighty, Levoit Core models, or even the other Blueair Pure models. As you pointed out that furniture not immediately next to the device didn't experience much removal which makes me wonder if this is effectively a gimmick that doesn't really matter that much in the long run over a more cost effective air purifier like the other ones mentioned

[@chefgav1]

None

[@moltenbullet]

The shelf at the top is such an underrated design choice. I could totally imagine similar devices like the Xiao Mi purifiers having this so that it doesn't just create a dead space.

[@Cr125stin]

I also have the 411 Auto and absolutely love it! I’ve had it for a couple years now. I’m looking into this model now. Thanks for the video!

[@AlyxAugust]

i had this and it sucked lol it literally did nothing special my dust amount in just a single room was no different after having this for like 2 weeks

[@staiifresh502]

Did you get something better? If so what did you end up getting ?

[@thefox8569]

There may not be enough air flow in your room. An air purifier won't necessarily wipe the dust already settled in your room. It can only pull out the dust present in the air. I see air purifiers as a tool that can greatly reduce the amount of dust accumulating, but you may still need to wipe dust off in your room, just less occasionally. Personally, the air purifier I use, when combined with a separate, strong fan that circulates air in the room, almost completely eliminates all dust in my room. I haven't had to dust my desk or shelves off in over a year now, when previously I had to dust every week.

[@AlyxAugust]

@@thefox8569 I have multiple good sized fans, and no this purifier did literally nothing waste of money for me.

[@AlyxAugust]

@@staiifresh502 I got the Mila air purifier and it worked a lot better and I liked it more.

[@EpicShotLP]

Lmaoo. That‘s actually hilarious. I did engineering school so I could tell right away that this can‘t be good just from looking at this😂😂 omfg I mean there is another solution, I create/model/engineer/calculate / build machines for a living so yeah but it‘s expensive and basically I need to check out ur house measurements and not just raw I mean with furniture n all bc I‘d install things in the ceiling, corners & shelves among all edges of all interior

[@Clevast]

Air Purifier really helps for dusting and will give you a lot of health benefits.

[@cem_not_sam2173]

I believe you've inserted the filters in the wrong orientation. The arrows (which are hidden behind ribbons) need to be pointed upwards

[@nidalspam509]

Watching this review just made me conscious that I'm not only breathing but I'm also breathing in dust. Nice review though.

[@jbogert100]

If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. kzbin.infoUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!

[@mattmdd80]

Great video! I didn't realize I had to clean the trays. It had a lot of dust and dog fur after 6 weeks trapped.

[@jackryan8719]

Whats the difference between a dust magnet vs air purifier?

[@SolarErazer]

Nothing same

[@andrewk911]

Costco has the Blueair 5415i. Is that the same as the 5410i?

[@xenmaster1987]

Would you recommend this over the newer model of the 211+? I’ve got 2 german Shepherds so my apartment is literally all dust. I can’t decide between this one of the newer 211? Any advice?

[@Yama_1291]

Now to find an excuse to tax-deduct about 8 of these. I despise dust.

[@thefox8569]

Do it!!

[@AGBallew-n7u]

Thanks for the review...! While more expensive, I'm a big fan (no pun intended) of Austin Air's Bedroom unit -- I own two...!

[@victorcapetillo2070]

I watch several videos read the instructions on the website. Everyone including you have the filters incorrectly. The website says both filters with arrows pointing up. You're the only one I saw thst had the filter on top with arrow up. But your bottom filter has arrow down. Someone please help!!!!!

[@6MonthsLater]

Do what the website says, I think I had this incorrect in the video but when I got the replacement filters the instructions made it more clear both arrows on the filters should be pointing up. - Josh

[@Pablito46]

Great review! Thank you for the info. I just bought one. I can't seem to figure out how the filters are supposed to be inserted. I noticed that you installed the top one with the arrow pointing up and the bottom filter with the arrow pointing down. However, on Blueair's website it says to install them with both arrows pointing up. Are you certain that you installed them the right way? Thank you so much for your help!

[@akheng]

Been trying to figure it out too, and i think both may be wrong. Including Blueair's website. My theory is that if both top and bottom are inlets (side: outlets), the white part of the filter should be facing the direction of the inlets. With the black part (honeycomb) on the inside. So it's arrow pointing down for top, arrow pointing up for bottom. Would be great if someone from Blueair can clarify this!

[@6MonthsLater]

Whoops, we probably installed them the wrong way when we were doing multiple takes for the review shoot. Thanks for pointing this out to us! Def follow what the BlueAir website says.

[@Pablito46]

@@akheng Your theory is correct, actually, and the info on Blueair's website is incorrect! I called them to double check and they told me to install the filters just like you described. The arrows are there to illustrate the direction of air floor, so the top one points down and the bottom one points up. It would be nice if Blueair could just include that info on the instructions and fix the info on their website! Sheesh

[@akheng]

@@Pablito46 Exactly, a wee bit negligent on their part. I mean, it's pretty much key info so that it the product works properly init? Appreciate "6 Months Later's" video review content and you for pointing this out for discussion!

[@journeywithbess]

Can you clarify if the fan on top blows air out like other air purifiers? Or does it actually suck air in to clean?

[@mrsully21]

How do you reset the air filter replacement light when you already have extra air filters. Doesn’t let me turn it off in the app. Just lets me order more.

[@Azmodaeus49]

Something I'm considering to purchase in the near future 😅😶

[@416pp]

the Blueair 211+ is amazing

[@MineJulRBX]

There's more dust accumulating in a day than that collects in weeks. I need a serious magnet.

[@SirFartsAlot1]

So then is this model better for dust in a bedroom than say the 411 auto?

[@6MonthsLater]

I'd say so, because it has two areas of intake and you can clean the dust more constantly throughout the month from the unit. while it doesn't eliminate all airborne dust, I still find the thing does suck up a good amount of it. - Josh

[@bellanails3838]

do you think it would be good enough for at home nail tech/salon service since it is a ver small area.

[@RathOX]

no u need something for VOCs not dust

[@michaelmelling9333]

I think all purifiers cut down on dusting, as they work on the same principle.

[@thefox8569]

We use Levoit Core 300 Series air purifiers in my office space. They are $100. They use HEPA air filters and are also EXTREMELY effective at gathering dust allergens, smoke, and odors in a space. High-end air purifiers such as the one depicted in this video will certainly reduce or eliminate any dust build-up in your room. I can't stress enough how much I would recommend an air purifier such as the ones I use from Levoit or the one in this video. Also, unless you have pets or leave the windows open, you don't necessarily need to leave an air purifier on all day, all the time. The air filters will last longer if used for less hours, and for at home use with no pets, a large filter can easily last a year, or well over a year before replacement.

[@thefox8569]

Air filters such as these are also an effective tool at your disposal in order to reduce viral load due to COVID-19, or even other contagious particles. Air filters are running all day in my workplace due to the number of customers in our office. And at my dentist's office, they also use HEPA filters made by Levoit, running continuously during the workday.

[@tessie4204]

I have this build in my PC :p

[@xtimex1]

Does it also have a built-in ionizer?

[@6MonthsLater]

Short answer, no. Here’s the longer explanation from Blueair’s website: “Instead of emitting ions into the room as a means of cleaning the air, Blueair air purifiers use a combination of mechanical and electrostatic filtration to remove even the tiniest particles (down to 0.1 μm) from indoor air. We call our filtration technology HEPASilent™. Whereas an ionizer, or ionizer air cleaner, uses a high-voltage charge to produce and emit ions into the room, Blueair’s HEPASilent technology, uses a fan to draw charged airborne pollutants into the air purifier so that they stick more effectively to the filter. This increases the filtration efficiency of Blueair air purifiers, while at the same time achieving a higher Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) and more silent and energy-efficient operation.” www.blueair.com/us/faq.html

Ugh. Can't stand subscriptions. Everything's subscriptions these days.

[@6MonthsLater]

I should have mentioned you don’t have to do the subscription if you don’t want to. You can purchase them individually or bundled on Amazon and from BlueAir directly. However, you get a 15% discount if you do a subscription.

So you still use your other blue purifier and still have dust! So this product sucks!!!

[@BackDaws]

This is very scammy, all air purifiers removes dust, this is marketing bs, just get the cheapest HEPA filtered device you can find that's rated for your room size. You don't need any of those useless options, just a power button.
