I bought the Blueair 411a few days ago seeing I smoke in my small home office 9x12 ran it for the night next morning the room smelled fresh no odor what so ever, but I only smoke 4 to 6 cigarettes a day got it on sale from Blueair at $112 will buy another one for the bedroom at 1 or 2 I cant or barely hear it and 3 isn't that loud although I set it on 3 when I'm not in the room....love this Blueair 411.....I did check the Levoit Core 300 much more expensive but it does have a lot of gadgets I just wanted something simple that does the job hence the Blueair 411 was the one.
I don't get the blueair outer filter. When it is covered in dust and you want to remove it you either have to use a vacuum cleaner or pick up the device and take it outside to remove all the dust. I should have a hard outer shell that didn't collect dust. I like the design of the Levoit.
But doesn't that indicate a smarter way of doing it albeit less convenient? Because with a hard outer shell, most of the dust goes straight to the next filter when you just wash it on the Bluair, and more dust means more frequent replacement.
What’s the difference between carbon and activated carbon? Have you ever tested the blue air on the lower settings? I have a blue air and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work on levels 1 or 2 (or works marginally)
Blueair 411 uses a fibrous filter coated with carbon. Levoit Core 300 uses activated carbon pellets that are more efficient and can absorb higher amounts of gases than the Blueair carbon filter. That’s true, it has a noticeable less power on the first and the second speeds, but with proper usage, with a combination of all the speeds, the air purifier will do an excellent job. According to your question, yes, it works at all speeds, as long as it throwing air through filters. Keep in mind that you should change the filter every 6-8 months.
Which one of these is better for cigarette smoke. I would only use it in the bathroom. That's where I am going to smoke in my new apartment that is not smoker friendly. In addition, I might purchase an anti-smoke candle and maybe some spray or gel. I can't have any smoke smell at all. I do like the Levoit's Wireless and Alexa options. But the BlueAir has a lower Micron setting for smoke particles. The levoit is .3 and BlueAir is .1. So, I am assuming that makes a difference. However, the Levoit has a replaceable filter specifically for toxins like smoke VOCS.
A test I have done is that the BlueAir is more of a HEPA filter than the Levoit. Yet BlueAir does not advertise it as HEPA. Then I found out that HEPA certification is just something some companies pay for to get their product certified and it's mostly used as a marketing gimmick.
@Michael When it comes to these types of consumer air-purifiers, HEPA is just a marketing gimmick and an expensive one at that. BlueAir is a HEPA filter and in some cases we have it to perform better than some HEPA certified AirPurifiers. Also, BluAir is one of the most energy efficient AirPurifiers in the market.
@Michael Their filters are less dense yet provide the same amount of filtration as HEPA filters. We have done studies where these blue-air filters have even a greater filtration than some other HEPA filters when it comes to pollen, food odours and bacteria/mites. HEPA certification allows companies to use HEPA patents in their filters. This does not mean that other filter technologies are worst than HEPA and in some cases they even exceed HEPA. And yes energy efficiency is part of the equation when some people run these 24/7. Unless it comes to commercial applications, HEPA certification is useless and is up there with useless tags, such as USD Organic and nonGMO verified.
@Michael if you have the means of writing these comments, you have the means of looking up any article you want. Again for consumer use, BlueAir meets the HEPA requirements of capturing 0.3 micron particles. In fact, we have found that BluAir even captures particles at 0.1 microns which exceeds HEPA requirements. There are also other air purifiers that will exceed the HEPA requirements but they still choose not to get the HEPA certification because it literally means nothing.
I purchased Levoit Core 300 But this device caused me sensitivity, unfortunately, I have a problem in my nose now !! What is the reason in your opinion ? This device is supposed to purify the air, not the other way around !
@@AirPurifierFirst Does that mean it should stay on a lower setting to avoid these sort of side-effects? I’m also experiencing something similar while using the Levoit Core 300.
@@nkord7457 the "three types of filters" is what they put together in the video... On the machine itself the Pre Filter is usually a piece of plastic mesh fabric or in case of the Blueair they have these colored cloths that wrap around the fan (On the Blueair machine you'll need to remove this cloth wrapping when your outside to clean it out or wash it out and then dryer )
When a fan is On in your living space, all that dusty air is being moved around in that room... If you leave the windows or doors Opened... You'll also need a screen cover on your doors and windows That will help push air back outside... but doing this also pushes pollution back inside.
My apartment is 500sqft, 250 for each room. And I'm thinking about getting one for each room since my gf is allergic to cats. Do you think the levoit would be enough even tho it's only up to 219 sqft?
These videos have made me purchase the Levoit. The area I live in is prone to smoke in fire season (California) and I have 2 cats. Should be wonderful to breathe fresh air again :D
Get the levoit. The Blue Air is certified CARB which means it doesn't emit any dangerous amounts of ozone. Like less than a cell phone basically. However that being said. That's done in a lab. In real world testing. It's possible that any ionization technology can interact with fumes, gases, and produce formaldehyde. And also make pollution worse if you live in a highly polluted area. The HEPAsilent technology has been around since 2003. Also, particles that are charged with the ionizer can escape the filters at high speed and get into your lungs causing irritation and difficulty breathing. That usually happens to people with really bad asthma though. But again. Just to be safe, I always go ionizer free. Hope that helps.
According to health.ny.gov, that amount is not bad if it is based on an annual average. Anyway, you could get an air purifier, to make the air in your room more cleaner.
I like the Smart Sensor and Auto Mode, which Blueair 3210 offers, and I would probably choose the Blueair over the Core 300. But, keep in mind that I haven't tested the Blueair 3210 yet.

I bought the blueair just cause it has a better look and works really well on auto it just does its things no need for the other buttons really,
The Blueair is a great air purifier. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the comment.

Great review. Thank You. Much Love evryone.
Thanks for watching!

Sometimes, the air purifier could make the air too fresh (like cold air). So, if you are sensitive you could experience some byproducts.
Thank you for the prompt reply ... Okay
There are three types of filters for this device .. What is the difference between them?

Like 50$ probably
@@Thecatnamedkiwi thanks. I bought one a levoit for 90 dollars.

I cannot guarantee that, but you will definitely feel the difference in the air quality.
@@AirPurifierFirst thank you. I actually ended up getting 2, one with the pet filter and my gf already feels the difference
That's great! Hope they will serve you for a long time.

Does this emit ozone? Which is detrimental in any amount?

it doesnt
The average across my house is 12 μg/m3 PM2.5, do I need purifiers or would you think this is acceptable?
According to health.ny.gov, that amount is not bad if it is based on an annual average. Anyway, you could get an air purifier, to make the air in your room more cleaner.
The Blueair has a much larger filter surface area. It's a great design
They both are great air purifiers, I prefer the Levoit, and you prefer the Blueair, but overall, I believe neither of us is wrong! Thanks.
@@AirPurifierFirst I absolutely love my Levoit 300 so much I bought a second
Can you compare the Levoit core 300 with the blue air 3210, can’t decide which one to buy
I like the Smart Sensor and Auto Mode, which Blueair 3210 offers, and I would probably choose the Blueair over the Core 300. But, keep in mind that I haven't tested the Blueair 3210 yet.
Why can't I find anywhere that sell the 3210? Is it discontinued?
@@goldent4655 I think it's the same model as the Blueair 411 Auto, so try to search that term.
@@AirPurifierFirst thank you, the only difference is the word auto lol
