If you have small rooms where Indoor Environmental Quality is an issue this is an ideal system to consider. Like the Blueair 503 flag ship the Blueair 203 uses ultra quiet hybrid HEPA and electronic technology to keep the air clean at a low noise level. Most air cleaners that use HEPA must use very small hole filters to achieve HEPA levels of environmental quality. The small holes mean that the fan must work really hard to push the airflow though the filter. This work translates to noise and higher electricity bills.
The Blueair 203 has larger holes in the Blueair HEPA filter to reduce the constriction thus improving flow and reducing noise. What they add to the product to reach the same levels of quality is electronic brushes. These brushes are positioned just before the HEPA filter and charge particles in the airflow. This causes the particles to be electrically attracted to the HEPA filter where they “stick” as they go past. The result is higher flow, lower energy costs and reduced noise levels in the 203. There are five air exchanges per hour with this air purifier.
These Blueair air purifiers are not only compact and efficient but they are also attractively styled and are available in either white or silver. These units are terrific for small rooms like the laundry, baby’s changing area, the kitchen, and small bed rooms. The Blueair SmokeStop filter option is designed to address the reduction of odors such as tobacco smoke by the addition of more activated carbon. This is also an option that those with MCS should consider
