There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The item works very well, even on "low" and keeps the air in my house pretty clean according to both the readout of this unit itself as well as another air quality monitor I own. I still keep a smaller unit in my master bedroom (the Medify Air MA-25) but given how much air this unit moves it's really not necessary. I have not had the unit long enough to need to replace the filters yet so I can't comment on how long they last or whether they're expensive for how long they last.
I would absolutely recommend this unit to others and buy another one if I needed an air purifier for another location.
I have owned several air purifiers including the Blue Air 211+, the Medify Air MA-25 and a few other very small purifiers I've long forgotten the make and model of.
I started noticing changes in my breathing every winter a few years ago, I was diagnosed with asthma and I am pregnant now so I can't take the usual medication that helps. I'm stuck with Tylenol and other decongestants that are safe but not as effective as I am used to. I basically have my inhaler and a combination of baby safe stuff that doesn't work well. I am so desperate for relief that I just spent almost $1,000 on air purifiers, special bedding etc... to try to get some relief. I basically struggle with sinus headaches, postnasal drip, a constant cough to clear crap out of my throat and chest plus sneezing...a lot of sneezing. I am already sneezing and coughing less but correlation does not prove causation even though it can make you hopeful!
As far as noise, literally 0 reviews were useful in helping me judge the actual noise level to expect. While even Consumer Reports dings this unit on high speed for noise, it did the same for almost every other unit as well so apparently it's a "thing" you have to live with. The most helpful thing for me would have been if someone would have used other sounds to compare for each speed so that's what I'm going to do.
Low: indiscernible, especially during waking hours and normal household sounds. It's basically silent for all intents and purposes, I can't think of something to even compare it to it's so quiet. I'll probably start running it on low after running it steady 24hrs a day on medium for a week or so. We're doing construction in the house so we have extra dust in the air.
Medium: Seriously, my microwave is louder than this unit. Think of an oscillating fan on low. You can hear it but it's not distracting by any means. Honestly, it fades away when I'm working. I'm finishing up my end of semester papers in the living room and the unit is in the dining room and I find it easy to tune out.
High: Yeah, you're going to hear it. To me, it sounds like a big ole box fan. Which, yeah...it basically is. However, I can't really think of a reason to run it on high unless you're like me and you set something on fire in the kitchen. It would probably be useful on high to air something out or get rid of a pungent odor quickly. Otherwise, I can't imagine running it on high. Perhaps if you're in a high fire activity area during the summer in which case I'm sure the relief it provides would be worth it. We have our fair share of fires here and I guess I'll find out then if I need to run it on high.
As far as effectiveness, when you walk by the unit and it's on medium, you can feel the air moving around the entire unit. I'll take this as a sign that it's working, taking air in and expelling clean air in the process. This unit is ridiculously easy to set up. The filters are already in place you just have to plug it in. If you don't feel like using the app right away, you can run the unit with the hidden controls. I easily set my unit up on my phone with no issue and it appears to be working fine.
It is large, be prepared to make room for it. The casters are super easy to roll and the unit isn't overly heavy as much as it is awkward. Once our renovations are finished I'm sure I'll find a nice hiding spot for it. You can't put anything on the top of it though because the top is part of the ventilation system.
Like I said, I'm still waiting to see if my breathing improves but so far I'm encouraged. We live in a home built in the early eighties, we use wood heat all winter, the air is notoriously dry here in the winter and we own two dogs that are outside/inside dogs. One is a hypoallergenic poodle and the other is a slightly neurotic, shedding monster aka mini Aussie. The house can have moisture issues in our master bedroom and bath in the winter when it's closed up which we try to manage the best we can. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there is mold present at times in the winter. I've never been allergic to animals in my past nor have I been diagnosed with anything besides seasonal allergies and difficulties in the winter.
We experienced no odor issues as other reviews have mentioned. Perhaps they have something present in their home that is reacting with the carbon filters to create the odor? It's hard to say but I'm thankful we have no odor issues with our unit.
Hopefully this review is helpful!
Very simple & EZ to operate. I skipped the Wi-Fi (can turn it off); I’m not that lazy that I need to control it via an app. It’s all of one button to turn on/off.
Fan is ultra quiet on setting 1 & 2. Fugedda ‘aboud it on fan setting 3. Unusably loud. Can’t hear my TV with fan on 3. Only purpose is to quickly fumigate a large room.
Fan speeds 1 & 2 are quiet enough that you could easily sleep with those speeds selected. I have a BA 211 also and fan speed 2 on that is higher. But now that I’m living in a larger home, I definitely went with BA & the 605.
It’s an impressive unit; steel parts, very well made. Wheels/moves around extremely easy.
I’ll just leave it run constantly on fan speed 2 and I’m sure it’ll work just fine. I found it on sale, 42% off which made me jump to buy it immediately. At that price, it was a no brainer. I see the 605 Classic (and other BA models) rated very high.
I noticed 2 different type filters. Lower model “particulate” filters (~$79 for the set of 3 recommended be changed every 6mo) and the carbon filters (particulate plus carbon) that remove VOC, smoke , chemicals… at about $149 for set of 3). Pretty standard cost for filters.
I’d rate the unit a 5 stars except for the fact that I really can’t run it or use the 3rd fan setting. It’s just too loud. With my leaving it on 24/7 (or less; run it only while I’m home) I really don’t need that #3 setting anyway.
Filters & the unit itself can be recycled (per instructions in the box).
No mistake on this one. A solid, highly rated, efficient air purifier that gets and gives you what you paid for. Especially if you catch it on sale. It arrived in about 5 days. Very good as well!
Top reviews from other countries
Have been using it daily, a family member had a constant cough. Using this has completely stopped the cough!! Which is quite incredible.
Has no air quality indicator which is a bit inconvenient as we do not know how well its cleaning. But as a basic air filter you cant get anything better than this for your normal sized bedroom.
