Blaupunkt Air Purifier Airpure AP 1.1, Black

Product Information

Honeywell Move Pure also uses passive air filtration that doesn’t release any ions for a complete ozone-free operation. Despite its relatively affordable price point, this model offers a pre-filter to capture large particles such as dust, lint, fibers, hair, and pet fur, a HEPA filter that traps fine dust, smoke particles, and allergens such as pollen and pet dander, and a carbon filter that works to neutralise smoke, fumes, VOCs, and household odours such as cooking smells and pet odours. These filters not only trap large particles but also removes up to 99.9% of tiny particles as well as odours, smokes and gases, namely VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Particles are only one aspect of traffic pollution, though. Gases such as NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) are also an issue and can't be trapped by an air purifier's main filter. If you're worried about pollution from a busy road, look for one that also has a carbon filter, as these are designed to trap gases. This brand has its own range of car air purifiers called Move Pure, offering not one but dual filtration technology (high-grade HEPA with double-layer activated carbon) capable of removing the likes of PM 2.5, cigarette smoke, pet dander and VOCs. If you’re looking for a quiet and unfussy air purifier that will fit into smaller spaces, then the Blueair Blue 3210 is ideal. Perfect for bedrooms or a home office, the Scandi-style machine is super-easy to set up and use. Recommended for use in a room of around 17m2, the Blueair Blue 3210 will change the air in the space five times an hour, going down to about twice an hour in a room of 43m2.An automatic mode that adjusts the fan speeds automatically to remove pollutants in the most efficient way An air purifier isn't the first line of defence against indoor air pollution. Ultimately, generating less indoor pollution means you'll be breathing cleaner air.

Maintenance : Regular maintenance is required to ensure the purifier continues to work effectively. This includes changing or cleaning filters as needed and keeping the unit clean. Placement : These purifiers are designed to be placed within the car, usually on the dashboard, in the centre console, or clipped to the air vent. They are compact and designed to fit the limited space in a car interior. Some ionizer air purifiers include a fan to draw the negatively charged room air into the unit and pass it by electrostatic collection plates. These plates collect the pollutants and work as a permanent filter.

For instance, assuming your car air purifier comes in a cylindrical design, you would want to fit it in the cupholder located between the driver and passenger seats. This unit cleans the air in the same way as the Envion Pro by creating negative ions and releasing them into the air to electrically charge pollutants. This process makes it easier to trap the dust, germs, and allergens in the permanent filter plates.

Some of the accompanying apps offer other useful features, such as information about the air quality levels in your home, reports on the outdoor air quality in your area and reminders to change the filter. HEPA air purifiers are the most popular. To comply with the current baseline standard, HEPA filters are tested and certified to remove at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and any other airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. There are different levels of HEPA filters, but in general, you want to make sure the model you buy meets the baseline standard (many that do have a "True HEPA" label) and stay away from those marketed as "HEPA-like," "HEPA-type," or "HEPA-style," which might not be as effective. Some of our favorite models, including the LG PuriCare 360 and Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, feature 360-degree HEPA filtersHEPA filter – this catches more dust, pollens, other allergens, and even bacteria, so you’ll breathe cleaner whether you suffer from pet allergies or hay fever. However, there are people concerned about the safety of using air purifiers with ionizers since they may produce unnecessary ozone. This is especially true if the ionizers contain ozone generators, particularly the ones with the level of ozone production that can’t be controlled.

Primarily known for its car audio equipment, Blaupunkt also offers car air purifiers under its AirPure range. Because the outdoor air is filled with pollutants like carbon monoxide and particulate matter, your car’s interior is easily exposed to unhealthy air as compared to being in a house. If it's not possible to increase ventilation because your outdoor air quality is poor or you suffer from hay fever and open windows introduce pollen, then an air purifier could be a good investment. It is able to purify the air in rooms that are up to 55m2, making it suited to small and medium spaces, or rooms such as the bedroom. In some cases, exposure to airborne pollutants might not cause immediate symptoms, but it can lead to serious health problems down the road. For this reason, the EPA says, "it is prudent to try to improve the indoor air quality in your home even if symptoms are not noticeable."The difference between a filter and filterless air purifier is that the filter version uses a highly dense paper filter to capture airborne contaminants while the filterless type does not. Philips offers its GoPure range of air purifiers specifically designed for cars. The brand is known for its unique 3-stage filtration technology, where they integrate a pre-filter, HESA filter and HEPA filter. All models make a bit of noise in use, but some are far louder than others, particularly on the highest setting. The quietest do a very good job both on the lowest and highest setting.
