Hey, I just got the new Blue Air 211+ auto air purifier. Got it today June 29th 2022. I have major mold allergies and some others. I’m now living in a 50 year old senior housing apartment complex. Air quality sucks big time. So my allergies and mild asthma acts up big time. As soon as I plugged this in, I noticed a big difference in air quality in my studio apartment. You are so right whisper quiet. With the new one you set it on auto setting, it automatically adjusts to air quality. I’m going to get the 411 model to put in bedroom area and kitchen.

[@jameslast3192]

I also did a lot of research and bought the exact same filter. I’ve had it for over a year and I’m delighted with it. It’s really good, so much better than I thought it would be. I leave mine on the lowest setting 24/7 next to my bed and you CANNOT hear it. If the rooms stinky, in the time it takes to have a shower if it’s left on full when I’m back in the room the smells all gone. Anyway, I totally agree with your experience. Cheers.

[@goberianchloex3646]

Best you can buy and I’m not affiliated with nothing. I bought mine as it has best air cleaning levels per size of med room and it is the best on electricity use. I have mine on 24/7 and costs but less than a light bulb to run….

6 hours of "continual use"! Not six months of using it on and off. I've had it for two years now. It's on its second filter now. Also - very important - do remember to reset your filter timer if you decide to change the filter before the light turns red (just like I did)! I didn't do this, so the light turned red on the second filter way too soon. Now I'll have to guess when it's time to replace it again...

The Blueair 411 is a good unit for physical contaminants (ex. dust) in smaller rooms (160 sq. ft. x 8 ft. ceilings = 1,288 cubic ft.) at a very reasonable price. Pretty good choice.

[@nayhtoo141]

what’s your opinion on the 511? it says it’s good for rooms of 180 sq feet. my room is 11x15 (165).

[@AirPurificationEducation]

@@nayhtoo141 IMO, Blueair is good at making 'good looking' air purifiers that are pretty 'quiet' and I think they are 'decent' for particulates. It says the 511 filters at a HEPA level on Amazon - but I seriously doubt it. Esp. for $99. Most air purifiers that say "HEPA" don't actually filter at a HEPA level (even much more expensive units). All that said - I think it will be decent for particulates but I'd personally go with the Coway Mighty or Winix 5500 if I was the one breathing the air... but that's just my opinion - Thanks and Good Luck! 😄

[@martinvachon3833]

how good for mold?

[@AirPurificationEducation]

For Mold.... I would currently only trust the IQAir HealthPro Plus and then maybe the Aeris 3 in 1 (soon to be called the Klaara P7 Pro and available in the US in 2024). Next level down, I'd look at an AirPura Super Hepa and/or maybe a Camfil City M (this may be a great unit but I'm not sure yet). I currently run an IQAir HPP in my familyroom and an Aeris 3 in 1 in my bedroom. Thanks! @@martinvachon3833

[@onlyagreeingsometimes]

Cam you clean your filters or do you need to keep paying for new ones

[@suedepup]

I’m finding that the filters don’t last as long as advertised because the carbon inside starts to smell from all the impurities it captured after about 2-3 months. That unpleasant captured odor is then blown back into the air which defeats the purpose of an air purifier. There’s a reason most purifiers have a separate carbon filter that you are prompted to replace every three months, leaving the HEPA filter to do its job for another three months or longer before it need replacing also. I wish I knew that before I purchased 4 Blueair products. The only solution I discovered is to rip out the glued-on carbon filter once it starts to smell. You haven’t noticed an unpleasant odor after a relatively short amount of time?

[@NReluctant]

I have not had any issues with that. Make sure you buy the filters from BLU and not one of the many places that sell their versions, that’s the only times I have heard about that issue. I’ve had mine for a few years now and my filters last about 3-4 months but should be replaced regularly anyway on any air purifier. Sorry your experiencing that, it hasn’t been my experience though 🙂

[@suedepup]

@@NReluctant Interesting. We have indeed been buying the brand name filters. It's possible your home is not assaulted with the frequent cooking odors that our home is, thus your carbon lasts longer. I really don't have an explanation, but I know other Blueair users are having the same issue I am. I'm glad your unit is working well for you. Cheers!

[@medjaba9037]

Are the blueair free ozone? An how about ionizer? Cuz some reviews in internet said it’s not healthy. Thanks in advance

[@dougall1687]

We recently adopted two rescue dogs and one of them is too nervous around people to be groomed right now. So we wanted an air purifier to keep the house smelling fresh with all the additional dander and dog hair (the iLife v3s was much better than our old roomba for dog hair btw) - the blue air 211+ worked really well for us. We actually ended up getting a second one for upstairs because it made the downstairs air feel so much fresher.

@@NReluctant Blue Air is very vague about what they mean with "SilentHEPA". They have expensive purifiers that use high-voltage electrodes upstream of the filter, which achieve HEPA-like performance with cheaper filter material and lower electricity usage. But the Pure product line doesn't use this. HEPA for portable air filters (that blow purified air into a room with still dirty air) doesn't really have much added value, though.

[@NReluctant]

@@hankwangn I’m not sure you actually have used one before.

I am moving into a new apartment that doesn't allow smoking. I smoke but do not want to get caught. So, I will restrict my smoking to the bathroom; keep the door shut and the filter on. Is it possible to keep the smell of the smoke from going outside the apartment. with this filter? I noticed that many of the filters can only trap particles down to .3 microns but the Blue traps VOCS down to .1. Which would be in the range of smoke. How do you feel about adding additional anti-smoke products like the candles and gels?

[@NReluctant]

I do not smoke, but I do burn candles almost daily and have not noticed any problems with the Blu. The filter on my HVAC unit also catches a lot of these particles, so between the filter on your heating / cooling unit and the Blu you may be good. There are also bigger air purifiers offered by Blu that cover more space, so they may be worth looking into for your situation. Hope this helps :)

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!

Is Blue Air ozone-free?

[@OurCommunityYouth]

Yes as it uses a HEPA filter and non ionizing

[@Justin-jy6fu]

No it isn't, but they day that they emit very low levels. All electrostatic filters emit ozone. Sometime ask google instead of some guy in the comment section.

[@OurCommunityYouth]

@@Justin-jy6fu To a point, this guy is right. However at 0.05 parts per billion it is negligible. That's like Elon Musk dropping a penny, he ain't picking that up.

[@OurCommunityYouth]

Or simply put, 1 part in 20 billion parts. So technically, It's Elon Musk dropping $13 out of his $260 billion dollar wealth at the time of writing this comment. For the sake of being accurate.

what about the ozone produced by ionization? i research too and dont wanna spend $75 for a scam "as seen on TV" style but aliexpress china sweatshop 21st century style, like nestle's blood cocoa

[@NReluctant]

Mine works great and a news channel even did a test and found it to clean the air more than most of the really big names, so I’m not sure about the other stuff you said. Just from personal experience it is great for me at cleaning the air in my house.

[@Holy_Hobo]

It's literally under the 5 PPB required for the zero ozone certification, which is of course under the 50PPB required for the California CARB certification(California being notoriously stringent on their certifications). For example, you'd get more ozone sitting next to a blender or your hvac system. Or opening a window. Or walking outside.

Does it release ozone ?

[@standforhumanitariancauses4756]

I wonder why no one answer this question . I have the exact same question.

[@ChiefBrianIrons]

Yes it does emit ozone as it has small ionizer. That why their filters are cheaper since doesn't use HEPA filter. They don't produce dangerous or concerning levels of ozone. I have read some reviews that people get sore throats when using the blueair purifiers. I have seen images of the purifiers from reviews having dirt particles sticking to outside of the case that a sign it's releasing ozone to the air.

[@pkd2411]

@@ChiefBrianIrons Thanks for information Brian ,can you also confirm if we can manually disable the ionizer by cutting it's wiring inside the purifier ?

[@ChiefBrianIrons]

@@pkd2411 I have no clue sorry but if you did disabled it you have effectively just reduced the efficiency of the purifier as it used to kill mould and VOC in the air. Also it might not work if disabled. If you not getting any issues with chest pain, coughing, throat irritation, and congestion. If you not seeing dirty black stains on outside case then it's emitting very low level of ozone into air. Personally still doing research into buying air purifier for myself but I am 100% certain not buying one that emits ozone even if mean sending more money on filters for air purifiers that don't emit ozone.

[@Kuhliene]

I read the filters smell sour and beefy. lol. Do your filters smell?

[@NReluctant]

😅 I can honestly say I have never experienced that, mine smells just fine. There are a lot of people that sell their own version of the filters, but I just buy them directly from the manufacturer.

No. It’s not a true HEPA grade filter. Seems similar performance, but no it’s not a true hepa

Actually the performance is better than pretty much any other true hepa filter. Theirs is just a different technology.
