Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Combining advanced features with an environmentally friendly design, this air purifier provides a continuous supply of clean, filtered air for rooms measuring approximately 10 by 20 feet. The air purifier comes equipped with HEPASilent technology, which uses electrostatic and mechanical filtration to quickly and quietly capture 99.97-percent of particles down to 0.1 micron in size, including allergens and other irritating particles, gases, and odors.

Thanks to Blueair's commitment to the environment, standard triclosan-coated paper or glass filter fibers have been replaced with safer, nontoxic polypropylene, one of the least harmful plastics, which produces only carbon dioxide and water as it decomposes, which means no toxins released into landfills or the air. Polypropylene's also waterproof, so the air filter naturally resists contamination from bacteria, viruses, and mold, without chemical additives or washes. The 100-percent recyclable filter should be replaced every six months (no tools required).

The air purifier comes with an easy-to-use remote control and a digital display system that provides instant feedback of particle detection, air purifier speed, and timer operation. Choose from three speed options that include HEPASilent for nighttime use, moderate fan for daytime use, and maximum fan for fast initial cleaning or very polluted air. For best results, run the air purifier 24 hours a day seven days a week. And don't worry, you can run the system 24/7 without a jump in electricity consumption thanks to its low power usage. It costs about the same to run the air purifier as it does to power a single light bulb--from 20 watts on low to 50 watts on high.

Other highlights include a blue "power-on" light, galvanized steel housing, a special powder-coat finish that produces no chemical out-gassing, and built-in carry handles. The unit offers an ideal solution for people living with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions, or for anyone who wants cleaner, more breathable air. The air purifier measures 9-1/2 by 17 by 21 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.

2.0 out of 5 stars Okay unit but doesn't really compare to next larger unit, May 15, 2009

First a note about the color-it is not really that beige like it looks in the picture, it's more of a nice off-white.

This is an okay model however it does not perform nearly as well as the next larger unit (402/403 models) both in terms of air filtering and quietness. While the 400 series is a bit larger, it actually takes up about the same floor space and affords you much better performance all the way around.

The 250E takes in air from the back and outputs it out the top, which means you can't place it up against a wall like you can with the 402/403 (which takes in and outputs air from the sides). the 250E also does not charge the particles (so that they better stick to the filter) before hitting the filter like the higher models do. I'm pretty sure the design of the 250E is not nearly as effective and this has been my observation using both units The air seems cleaner and even more fresh with the Blueair 403 that I have. Also, because the 400 series is larger, the fan does not have to move as fast, which results in noticeably quieter operation, although the 250E isn't really that loud, it is not near silent at the lowest setting like my 403 is.

The 400 series also has a much more robust (thicker) filter. And, since the 250E outputs air out the top, you cannot put things like books on top of it like you could do with larger units.

This is not a bad unit for a small room. It does include a remote control and automatic sensor features, as well as a timer. However, I found that those don't really get used that much since you mostly would want to leave the unit on all the time and then manually turn it up when needed. The fact that the room was dustier with this unit than with my Blueair 403, and also didn't seem quite as nice and fresh, signifies to me that it does not perform nearly as well and it may be worth the extra money for a 400 series-it's just more effective and quiet all the way around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Allergy sufferer, March 18, 2007

By	Charles C. Talbott - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great product, I love the Automatic function where it senses the condition of the air and adjusts the fan speed accordingly. Since I placed this in 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet, Energy Efficient, Will be buying more, September 24, 2009

Boy, I wish I had purchased this purifier from the beginning. I made the mistake of purchasing the popular Honeywell machines last week and my wife just about threw me out of the house after hearing the noise from those machines. She described the sound as being in the middle of a power plant facility. Even their desktop purifier is louder on the low setting that the BlueAir 250e on the highest setting. 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 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 has been tested by various sites with no ozone production measured.

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.
