4.0 out of 5 stars
Okay unit but doesn't really compare to next larger unit,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Blueair 250E Energy-Efficient Air Purifier with Remote Control and Digital Display (Kitchen)
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 quite a bit larger, it actually takes up about the same floor space and affords you much better performance although looks more like a computer tower. 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). You can place it 4" from the wall though. 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 the 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 though and the compact size is nicer than larger units. 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. That said, the 402/403 unit is a lot larger and looks like a big computer tower. The 250E looks more appropriate for a small room/office and looks more like an air purifier. If you want something that looks a bit more discreet and your room isn't large, this 250E should suit you quite well indeed. You might also consider the Blueair 203W HepaSilent Air-Purification System, White which is a very similar unit for a lot cheaper, minus the remote control and automatic air sensor. Since you basically leave these on all the time and don't fool around with the controls that often, I think there is better value in the Blueair 203 unit.

Allergy sufferer,
This review is from: Blueair 250E Energy-Efficient Air Purifier with Remote Control and Digital Display (Kitchen)
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.

This review is from: Blueair 250E Energy-Efficient Air Purifier with Remote Control and Digital Display (Kitchen)
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.
