The Blueair 501 air purifier is an air purification system that features what is called a 2 stage ‘HEPASilent’ technology. This unit boasts the ability to capture 99.97% of all pollutant particles as small as 0.1 microns. This means that all dust, dander, pollen, mold spores, and other harmful airborne pollutants will be caught and filtered from the air you breath.
A great feature of this purifier is that particles that would normally escape through a HEPA filter won’t get through the Blueair 501. An electrostatic charge captures these pollutants and removes them. See, the particles pass through a an ion chamber that is enclosed. In this chamber, the particle receives a charge which increase the chance of it clinging to the filter media. Other filters do it the other way, charging the filter, and thus reducing the efficiency of the filter. Because Blueair charges the particle, you are guaranteed a more efficient filter.
The Blueair 501 air purifier is also environmentally friendly. The filter is nontoxic and made from possibly the least toxic plastic. This is better for us and the environment. The filter will not release any harmful toxins into the air. This filter will also have no problem dealing with mold and bacteria because it is waterproof and needs no additional chemicals to accomplish this. The filters are also biodegradable and return to water and carbon dioxide as they decompose.
One of the major features of the Blueair 501 air purifier is it’s whisper silent operation. There are four speed settings available on this purifier. The lowest is called ‘HEPASilent’ and at this setting you will have to strain to hear the machine running. I found this to be true of the 2nd setting as well, but then again my wife says I don’t have the best hearing! The third setting is really the best noise to performance ratio on this purifier. I have had no problem sleeping with the 501 running on the third setting. Setting four is max power and you will notice this setting if it is quiet in the room, but it is not so unbearable that it would ruin your favorite tv program.
The Blueair 501 purifier is able to disperse air throughout an area that is up to six times more than any average purifier. And as far as design, this one has all the others beat. A sleek design will prevent you from having to hide it behind furniture. It is anything but an eye sore.
Maintenance is a breeze. There are no tools required to change filter media. Simply open up the lid, remove the old filter and drop the new one in. Simple as that. There is also an optional filter kit to prevent even further from the dangers of smoke and gases.
A 10 year warranty seals the deal. Anyone who suffers with asthma, allergies, and other conditions, as well as those who simply want to breath in cleaner air, should investigate the Blueair 501 air purifier.
