Blueair 501 Particle Air Purifier -Low Price + Free Shipping
The Blueair 501 is an extremely high quality Swedish air purifier that is now available in the U.S. A really high quality air purifier should have outstanding filtration efficiency, room size capacity, be extremely quiet, and be built to last a long, long time. I am into the part about extremely high quality and long, long time, but don't underestimate the importance of quiet operation. Other systems that sound like a vacuum cleaner become really annoying after a while ( we speak from experience). CLEAN AIR DELIVERY RATE How well an air purifier works depends on the percentage of pollutants removed as air goes through the filter system combined with the amount of air that goes through the unit. In other words, you want a unit that cleans a lot of air extremely well! To help consumers evaluate air purifiers, AHAM (the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) devised a test that evaluated the combined effectiveness of filtration and capacity. The test results are expressed in a Clean Air Delivery Rate or CADR. This is the test that the American Lung Association and the EPA look to as a standardized test for evaluating the performance of air purifiers. What the CADR tells you is the amount of 100% clean air that is coming out of an air purifier. Of all the units tested by AHAM, Blueair had the very highest test results in their room size capacity. This means that no other unit delivers as much fresh, clean air into your environment as Blueair! We're talking about a lot of clean air, too. Without getting too technical, in a home with smoke pollution, having a Blueair operating is like adding 380 cubic feet of 100% clean air to the room every minute! The Blueair performed outstandingly on the two other test materials, too. For dust and pollen pollution, the Blueair adds 390 cubic feet of clean air per minute! Only these materials were incorporated in the AHAM tests. But there?s every indication that the exclusive Blueair technology provides similar rates of clean air on a wide range of indoor pollutants. Not only does the Blueair have amazing CADR performance ; it can handle large spaces, too. AHAM recommends the Blueair 501 for rooms up to 550 square feet (22 x 25 assuming an 8? ceiling)! This means that even in a room this size, the Blueair 501 provides a complete air exchange every 11 1/2 minutes HEPASILENT FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY / NOISE LEVEL Performance is the most important factor in selecting an air purifier. But typical air purifiers are extremely noisy and therefore hard to live with. Blueair achieves both performance and extreme quiet because of its HEPASilent Filtration Technology. The HEPASilent system works by electro-statically charging particles as they enter the unit. This means that by charging the particles and using a special filter material, the filter can capture more contaminants with less air pressure. The result is that the motor doesn?t have to work as hard to pass air through the filters and this means that the unit is extremely quiet. The end result is that the Blueair 501 is so quiet that on the first two speeds many people are unaware that it?s running! ENERGY This technology also makes for a unit that is extremely energy efficient. Even on its highest speed the Blueair 501 uses less energy than a 70-watt light bulb! And on low speed where it will operate most of the time, energy use is less than a 15-watt bulb. This means that compared to other air cleaners requiring 200 watts of energy, the Blueair 501 can cut your energy costs by more than $600 over five years and still clean far more air! QUALITY Outstanding quality is no accident. Every component is selected to be the very best. The cheap motors used in typical air purifiers are generally made in China and are noisy and of lower quality. Blueair uses a specially designed motor that is made in Germany for nearly silent operation and many, many years of trouble free service. There is even a special sound insulating motor mounting system to further reduce audible sound. Most air purifiers on the market today are made from plastic. Not only does this make them flimsier but it also contributes to their higher noise levels. The Swedish steel construction of the Blueair 501 means that this is an incredibly quiet and durable unit. FILTERS There are three filters in the unit, which can be changed in seconds. There is no disassembly or tools required. You simply open the unit, slide the soiled filters out and replace them. The filters are hydrophobic so they can not support mold growth. There are also special SmokeStop filters available for odor control and these have been very popular in areas where smokers or other objectionable odors are present. FILTER SUBSCRIPTION PROGRAM In order to continue to deliver incredibly high levels of clean air, the filters in the unit need to be changed every six months. Blueair makes this simple to remember with their Filter Subscription Program, which automatically ships the required filters every six months! OTHER POINTS Clean air is so important to Blueair that even the finish on the unit is powder coated so no paint off gassing can occur. And, absolutely no ozone is generated by these units. In fact, ozone levels are reduced in rooms where Blueair purifiers are operating! The Blueair 501 has four speeds. On the first two speeds, it is virtually inaudible. On the third and fourth speeds you will hear the unit operating. However, the way the unit is designed to work is that you set it on the higher speed settings for only an hour when it is first turned on. This provides for accelerated air exchanges to quickly reduce indoor pollutants. The unit is then set to one of the lower settings to provide continuous, practically silent filtration of the room air. DESIGN The Blueair 501 is beautifully and tastefully designed and has even won a European design award. Its flat panel design allows for greater placement options and it will blend in easily with most décor. Mounted on easy rolling casters, your Blueair may be easily moved from room to room. WARRANTY The Blueair 501 also includes a ten-year limited warranty on all components except filters, which covers everything except misuse. You will need to replace the set of 3 filters every six months to maintain your ten-year warranty. You can buy these filters from us or through Blueair's Filter Subscription Program.
