Blueair Blue Pure 211+ vs Winix 5500-2

My wife on the other hand, she is more sensitive with allergens such as dust and pollen and she felt the device had helped her greatly. Anyways, because of the unsual burning smell I returned it and order a different air purifier brand.

I can see, and tried to get a picture of, the dust it's pulling into the grille. My husband and I also vape, typically with windows cracked for airflow, and this is the clearest I've seen my apartment. It sucks everything up and I can tell the difference in my air quality. We also run a dehumidifier since this apartment is so humid, and the two together are making a huge difference in my allergies already

, consumer reports uses a sealed room and particle counters to gauge their effectiveness). If you have significant allergies and need a good air purifier, I'd stick to known good ones like the Honeywell HPA300 or the Blue Air Pure 211+. Neither are smart, though.

We did a lot of digging through reviews and Consumer Reports type publications, and settled on Winix 5500-2 as the best purifier for the money. It has multiple filtering stages (and one of the filters is washable multiple times before it needs to be replaced) and has a large air throughput while also being very quiet (these are generally the characteristics to look for in a purifier). Still, 1000 square feet is a lot, and you’ll probably want 2-3 of them, placed in areas where things are dustier/smellier. They are quite compact and not too noticeable against a wall

As someone who lives in the Bay Area (which gets smoked out on what seems like an annual basis during wildfire season), a good air purifier is absolutely critical. I own the Blue Air 211+ and highly recommend it. It also helps me with general seasonal allergies and I've found I sleep better and wake up feeling more refreshed with cleaner air.

I have allergies, and I also have three dogs, so I thought it might be a good thing to try. I have been happy with it. I guess I can't say any over-the-top things like "Wow my allergies are cured!" or "my house is suddenly dust-free!" but then I didn't expect that of it. Let's face it: my house is a challenge with the dogs running in and out and tracking in all the outdoors

I've been using the Pure 211+ for about a month so far and it's been working very well.

We have had several of these units in our house since 2017. I believe they do a decent job at filtering the air, and they are pretty quiet (although with age some of them become a bit noisier as the fan bearing wears -- but even these are not obnoxiously noisy). I was a little disappointed to learn that the filter replacement indicator is just a dumb timer which is supposed to turn orange, and then red after 6 months of use. (I had originally hoped it actually did something clever like detecting when the filter was becoming clogged by monitoring motor current, or something, but no

The carbon filter on the 5500-2 isn't worth it and if you want a carbon filter get a can filter and an ac infinity inline fan. There might be better options at the same price point though.

I do think this would work very well for people who simply want to keep allergens at bay or want to keep very light whiffs of smoke such as momentary barbecue smoke that comes in before you have a chance to go close the window. It's very attractive, the outside filter is a knit fabric that is very easy to wash and high to dry while you use the second provided one, and it's so easy to operate. Just a light tap turns it on. Two taps turn it on to medium and three taps turn it on high

This air cleaner was delivered within 1 week of the order. Packaged well, easy to assemble and get started. Have it near the cat litter box to try and reduce dust in the house. It actually has 3 filters within

The noise level is good. It produces moderate white noise on its highest setting and is pretty quiet on its low and medium settings. I use it for my 700sqft apartment and it does a great job managing pet odor and does a great job filtering smoke and cooking odors when I’m searing meats. I recommend this highly for apartment life in general! If you want it for a bedroom or a single room, you could get by on the smaller model, but since I use this in my kitchen as well living with a cat, I opted for this size model and I am pleased with how it performs

As for noise level I have it set on either auto or 2, I fine level 3 is a little loud for me. The blue light doesn't bother me. The only thing not giving this five stars is the remote had a dead battery. Once I put in a new battery everything worked great

This unit is quiet and efficient, I thought it would hike up my electric bill but it hasn't. I have two cats and live in NYC; having Blueair purify my apartment has been a total transformation. Would definitely recommend this as an easy to setup, easy to use and effective means to purify any space.

The units have equal output, so you have slightly better energy efficiency on the highest fan speed with the Winix compared to the Co way, but otherwi...
