Customer Reviews

This is a terrific little air purifier. I have asthma, suffer from chronic broncitis and my husaband also has chronic sinus problems. This Honeywell compact air purifier has really made a difference each night in our master bedroom. We love the subtle white noise and have really noticed a difference in the morning. No coughing, less congestion. Did I mention that I have a cat sleeping on my pillow with me? I am amazed how much better my breathing has been since we started using this air purifier. Our dog has even stopped sneezing too. (I think he's allergic to the cat.) Highly recommend this product. Great value. Easy to clean the filter.

Excellent Purifier! True to its description, with the exception of it says that it's quiet. It's not overwhelmingly loud, however, it is definitely not quiet either; nevertheless, it's doing a great job. I've had it for approximately 8-9 months, and it's still working magnificently; love the portability, and you can't go wrong with the permanent filter.

Four Types of Ionization Air Purifiers

Four Types of Ionization Air Purifiers
Normally, people are unaware that there are four differences of ionic air purifiers in use nowadays. Ionizers in general have been around for many years.

Definition of an ion: an atom or molecule, electrically charged, which has lost or gained one or more electrons, making it either positively or negatively charged.

A simplified explanation of the process. The ionic purifier produces an ions then ions collide with and attach themselves to particles in the air (opposite charges attracted). The particles attach themselves to other particles, collection devices or filters or solid surfaces and removed from the air. The exact process depends on the type of ionic air purifier used.

Ionization is produced and present around you in the air we breathe outside. Ions are measured by how many present in a cubic centimeter. "Typical" clean air outside contains 3,000 positive+ and 4000 negative - ions per cm3. This amount can be influenced by a myriad of factors and is constantly changing and constantly replenished by sun, wind and storms.

By the research that the natural balance of ions outdoors is generally better than most of our indoor environments.

Have you ever felt like getting outside to get a breath of fresh air? Interestingly enough, some scientists point to +/- ions as part of the reason for outside air "feeling right". Unfortunately indoor air generally presents a problem for ions. In most cases the number of ions present is much less compared to outside air.

Sometimes there are too many positive ions and an imbalance occurs in house. Generally the imbalance leans towards the positive but another problem could occur if too many negative ions are present. A balance is the best just like outside.

Ok, great you say, now what about cleaning the air with air purifiers....




These are Four Basic Ionic Air Purifier Technologies:

1. Electrostatic precipitators and charged media filters: mainly passive technologies; most of the ionization occurs inside the air purifier. As air enters the purifier, an electronic charge is

Ultra Load,
by Amanda King
For the first time, It's bigger than it looks in the pictures: Stands about thigh-high. This put me off at first but then I plugged it in.
First impression: It's not doing anything then After two days: I want to have it's babies.

I have allergies miserable miserable allergies and I just moved back to Maryland during the worst allergy season I've seen in years.
To a house with three smokers. And Two Dogs. And Two Cats. This house has clutter (re: dust) and mold and four plants in the livingroom and old carpets. It has old furniture and crummy filters but it DOES have ceiling fans!

This house is allergy hell and this purifier? Ah!!! I swear I can breathe again. It cleans up the air (auto setting rocks!) of the entire 500 sq/ft first floor from *awful* to *clear* in roughly 20 minutes, and if it's running constantly, it never gets intolerable. In fact, it barely ever gets to worse than "do you smell something?" for more than a minute or two, even if there has been cooking and smoking and the dogs were in the rain.
Even if it only lasted 6 months before it totally broke down, it would be worth the price to pay every six months to get another one.

I am in love.
Make more of these.
Buy it. Buy ten and give them to your friends. Send this link to anyone with allergies. Or gas.

Our customer review
I recommend this air cleaner
I've suffered from allergies all of my life especially the last few years, they have gotten progressively worse. Last year, I lived in an apartment over two chain smokers and was constantly congested. I started researching about air purifiers because my medications weren't helping enough on their own. I ended up deciding on this unit for my living room, dining area, a Hamilton Beach 04163 for my bedroom and another Hamilton Beach 04163 to go on the other side of my living room as well since the living room and dining area and kitchen was all together and not separated by doors and was too large an area for only one cleaner to handle efficiently. I've been very satisfied with this unit. I got it since December 2004 and it has not given me any problems at all. I have had to change the pre-filters a few times but haven't yet had to change the HEPA filter. I like the way this system has what it calls Intellicheck which lets you know when it's time for the filters to be changed, as well as the way that it has the 360 degree airflow technology. The unit looks kind of like a barrel so that the clean air flows out of the top all around it. I don't notice a cleaner air smell like I have heard people talk about but I can definitely tell a difference in my allergy symptoms when I am running my air cleaners or not. And when I put my Hamilton Beach air cleaner in the living room which has an auto setting that detects the air quality. It had the air rated as being good from the beginning which I believe is due to the Honeywell 50250 which had been running 24/7 a few days prior to that since the Hamilton Beach air cleaner in my room had the air quality as poor when I turned it on the auto setting. I still have to take my allergy medications that I was prescribed, but there is a definite differences between when I just take the medication and when I take the medication and use the air cleaners. Lastly, I hope my review can helps. I also like the fact that it has a carrying handle at the top, and I don't interrupt about noisy from it. The replacement pre-filters are easy to find for this unit. The HEPA filter seems a little harder to find in retail stores but it doesn't have to be replaced as often so it is not too bad.

Our Customer Reviews
Allergy sufferer
This is an excellent product, I love an Automatic function where it senses the condition of the air and adjusts the fan speed accordingly. Since I placed this into our bedroom the dust accumulation is about 99% gone, we also sleep so much better and feel rested in the morning. I would not hesitate to buy this purifier,again it is made with such outstanding quality and so very quite.

Quiet, Energy Efficient, Will be buying more
Boy, I wish I had purchased this purifier from the beginning. BlueAir is truly whisper quiet (30 db at low setting) and I had a hard time believing it was on full blast when I had it on the highest setting until I put my hand near the top.

The CADR is more than enough for a 12x12 room size according to a conservative estimate from a leading allergy website. I like that you could have this right next to your bed and not realize it is turned on. The remote control is terrific and you can turn off the ion purifier if you like as well, although I am comfortable knowing that it's been tested by various sites with no ozone production measured from this air purifier.

Ordered this product via Amazon Prime and arrived within 2 days, outstanding service as usual (and free shipping) - well worth the investment for me.

I will look at buying some of the larger BlueAir products for my living room and larger areas and can't wait to have guests over now that the air is fresh and inviting.

Customer Reviews
Solid, simple, quiet, effective
The title pretty much sums it up... I took it out of the box, plugged it in, switched it on and don't really think about it anymore.
I live on a busy street and the air inside the house was very dusty.
With this thing running it is substantially cleaner ....
even when sunlight streams in I cannot see any dust in the air.
At highest setting it is audible but not objectionable. I keep it at max minus one and don't hear it at all.

It showed up with a small dent in the side, which I should have complained about but didn't.
The shipping package could have been better.

Quiet Enery Efficient and it Works!
I should start with the fact that everyone in our household has allergies, even the dog I think, but that had not been confirmed. Currently we have the Blueair units in all the bedrooms and family room. The best thing about Blueair units is they work! We really feel a difference. Before getting Blueair my wife was not able to sleep thru the night. She would get congested and her throat would get dry so she kept waking up to drink water. Whatever was giving her trouble is now gone from the air and she is finally able to get a good nights sleep.
Outside the fact that this unit cleans the air, I do also like that it is steel construction ( I did a lot of research and that is hard to find), its quiet!!!, and its energy efficient. As for warranty, the warranty card says mail in for free 5 year warranty.

Customer reviews
Made a huge difference in our home air quality
At the recommendation of my sister, who has bought the Paralda first - we purchased the air purifier for our home. My mother suffers from asthma and terrible allergies and lives with us - so anything we can do to make her more comfortable is worth it.

The Paralda is long and slender yet compact - it easily fit in our living room and didn't stick out like a sore thumb. It is very quiet and has varying speeds. It also had a UV lamp that zaps bacteria - and anything the HEPA air filter doesn't get. I noticed the air seemed fresher and there was less dust on the furniture. It felt like the pristine air you usually find in the dentist office - fresh, cleaner, very comfortable. The Paralda is not noisy at all compared to our Ionic Breeze air purifier we used to keep in my mother's bedroom. The control pad was very easy to figure out - even my mother could manage it on her own.

We have had the Paralda for several weeks now - and my mother seems to have more energy from sleeping better as a result of our cleaner air - which makes the price, to me, completely worth it. I must also mention - we run the Paralda all the time - and we have seem no marked increase in our electric bill ... it is a Energy Star rated appliance - and every little bit of savings helps us nowadays. I'd highly recommend this unit.

Aesthetically pleasing air purifier with one flaw...
I agree with the other reviews that this air purifier looks and functions great. I feel like using it has minimized my allergies. However, when the filter is on, there is also a small light on. I cannot figure out how to turn it off after six months and I have concluded that you cannot turn it off (please comment if I'm wrong and include instructions for turning it off!!). I bought this for my bedroom and I like to have it on overnight. However, the light makes it more difficult. I still gave it 4 stars, b/c I otherwise like it.

Works great, looks good
Got this purifier to reduce cat dander, air seems much cleaner, purifier is tall doesn't take up too much room and the light green color seems to blend with furniture in the room
