She loves it! It's really quiet and she say's she does not even know it's on unless she looks to see the little blue light on. Space was a concern but this worked well. She is even..."

Filter Change Indicator: included with 403 models, this magnetic timer reminds you to change your filter every six months as recommended for optimal performance of your Blueair air purifier. The filter change indicator is a timer that counts down from 182 days (6 months). The timer is independent of actual run time. When 15 days remain to filter change, the blue LED light will flash. There is a snooze button that will let you turn it off for five days at a time. When 0 days remain, change the filter and reset the timer for another 182 days (6 months).
Award-Winning Swedish Design: Blueair designs air purification systems to meet your home's aesthetic standards without sacrificing performance. Their perfect combination of visual appeal and functionality has won them aesthetic design awards as well as Best of Class ranking in independent testing of Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADR)
Easy to use: just plug in the air purifier and it's ready to use - the signature blue light lets you know it is working
Low cost to run: very energy efficient using only 30 watts on low to 70 watts on high
Durable steel construction: the grills and powder-coated steel exterior are easy to wipe clean, and won't pick up grime and oily stains the way plastics can and they do not off-gas
SurroundAir™ technology diffuses clean air gently: through an area six times greater than the average air cleaner helping to reduce noise and annoying streams of air without reducing air flow; operating on its lowest setting, Blueair produces virtually
Environmentally safe filter media: Blueair replaces standard triclosan-coated paper or glass filter fibers, which can harm the environment when released into the waste stream, with safer, nontoxic polypropylene. This revolutionary filter media is one of the least harmful plastics, producing only carbon dioxide and water as it decomposes - used filters are 100% recyclable and release no toxins into landfills or the air
Filters resist contamination: polypropylene filters are waterproof and naturally resist contamination from bacteria, viruses and mold, without the need for chemical additives or weekly washes
Easy to change filters with filter change timer: simply open the side, slide out used filters and drop in replacements every 6 months - no screws, hooks or tools needed
Easy to change air filters Filter Change Indicator
How it Works:
The 400 series draws air in from one side of the unit, passes it through the filter, and returns clean out of the other side.
The Blueair 400 series will quietly and effectively clean the air in a medium to large size room. They are available with your choice of HEPASilent particle filters or Gas & Odor Smokestop filters to remove chemical, gas and odor in addition to the particulates. The Digital 450E model features electronic controls including an automatic setting that operates based on the measurement of air quality, plus a filter change indicator, timer option, and remote control.
Pluses:
Unique filtration combines electrostatic and HEPA-like technology for a performance similar to most residential HEPA filters with the ability to filter particles down to .1 micron
Safe use of electrostatic technology does not produce ozone or off-gas
All-purpose air cleaner: the 403 or 450E used with the Gas & Odor SmokeStop filter has 3 lbs. of impregnated activated carbon to offer removal of smoke, gases, chemicals and odors
Less filter restriction: polypropylene filter media is less dense than HEPA filter material and allows the Blueair to have improved air flow, use less fan power, and reduce noise levels
Virtually Silent: its high air flow is great for quick cleaning and the lower, almost silent speeds provide the ideal operation level for continuous day or night use when you are in the room
Blueair's award winning design is not only stylish and offers excellent performance, it also allows for easy filter changes that take less then a minute of your time
Safe, effective and environmentally-friendly filter media: the 100% recyclable polypropylene filter material is water-repellent and naturally retards mold and mildew growth eliminating the need for chemical-based bacteria or mold inhibitors that are used in many residential glass fiber HEPA filters
Filter Change Indicator: the 450E has a built-in filter change indicator and the 403 includes a magnetic timer that reminds you to change your filters every 6 months as recommended for optimal performance of your Blueair air purifier
Minuses:
The biggest minus we could find is the units lack of a pre-filter: Pre-filters help prevent dust build-up on the fan and inside the unit which are hard areas to clean; a pre filter also helps extend the life of the particle filter by trapping the large particles that quickly dirty a filter
Replacement filters are expensive and require semi-annual replacement which is twice as often as many HEPA filters that usually have a life span of at least 1 year
The 400 series do not have casters so they must be carried, not rolled from room to room
Summary:
The Blueair 400 series are an excellent choice for those looking to clean a room or office up to 370 square feet. We like that one can purchase the Gas & Odor Smokestop models for chemicals, gases, and odors and choose the 450E electronic models for automatic control and filter life monitoring. We would encourage the purchase of the Gas & Odor Smokestop filters for all around filtration to provide the optimum clean indoor environment. The HEPASilent particle filters are good for particle filtration, but do not have any carbon so they will not remove any gases, odors or chemicals from the air. For those who like added conveniences, the 450E Digital models have all the little extras and are easy to operate with a remote control. We would like to see Blueair add a pre-filter to their air purifiers to lengthen the life of the main filter and reduce the frequency of replacements. However, considering they perform very well in all other aspects one can see why most will overlook this fault and are very happy with this air purifier.
Includes 1 Gas & Odor Smokestop filter with 3 lbs of carbon for the Blueair 401, 402, 403, 450E, Medical Pro air purifiers. One complete filter change. Replace every 6 months.
These air purifiers are our quietest for medium rooms up to 370 sq. ft. Includes 1 HEPASilent particle filter recommended for airborne allergen and particulate control. The Blueair 402 has built-in handgrips, but no casters. Includes magnetic filter change timer.
