Just an FYI because I know this matters to some people, but this model does have an ionizer.
Per the link above, it emits 16 parts per billion (pbb). Per https://www.nps.gov/subjects/air/...-ozone.htm that's well within the "no cautionary statement" range. See below for the ranges and statements on each from the NPS URL above.

Good (0–54 ppb)
No cautionary statement.

Moderate (55–70 ppb)
Unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.

Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (71–85 ppb)
Children, older adults, active people, and people with lung disease (such as asthma) should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.

Unhealthy (86–105 ppb)
Children, older adults, active people, and people with lung disease (such as asthma) should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors. Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.

Very Unhealthy (106+ ppb)
Children, older adults, active people, and people with lung disease (such as asthma) should avoid all outdoor exertion. Everyone else should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.
Children, older adults, active people, and people with lung disease (such as asthma) should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors. Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.
I have had this model for a couple years and I've been pretty happy with it. Its super well reviewed (Consumer Reports). I leave it on Auto without really consulting the smart features. Filters are expensive so be aware of that. I use it in the bedroom and am pretty sensitive to noise, it is very quiet on lvl 1 (where it is at most of the time), with no odd clicks or other odd noises Ive gotten from other fans/purifiers.This is a great price! I bought it used for a little bit more and was happy with that cost at the time.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but serious question; With an air purifier, can you actually tell a difference in "quality" of air? Less dust?

Yes there will be less dust in the room. Also, if you suffer from allergies or asthma you should notice an improvement.

Quote from hansmoleman007 :
I've had the 403 model in our bedroom since 2012. It's a predecessor model that looks virtually identical to this (think they use the same filters too) and it's still quietly humming along in our bedroom. Works great with no issues at all, but as you mention the filters are expensive. The one's with the activated carbon are hard to find for less than $100. The particle only filters are around $60. We use the activated carbon filters. Technically you're supposed to replace it every 6 months, but I usually push it to 9 months. Particle filter is fine at that point, but the carbon is probably saturated before that.

Wow…that's a lot. My Austin Air costs ~$200 for the filter, and it's replaced every 5 years. I know when it's time to change as I use a particulate & tvoc monitor. They really get you with the ongoing filter replacement costs for these units…

Since there are so many factors that go into your perception of clean air, it's difficult to say whether or not you'll notice it. If you have poor ventilation and already high background particulate matter and VOCs, you'll definitely notice.

Austin Air is really good, no frills.

For filtering particulates you can DIY a pretty good and low cost purifier using a 3M filter strapped to a box fan.

Quote from snapple :
How does this stack up again IQAir? I know this is way cheaper, but I'm looking for something that filters VOC and PM2.5 for a reasonable cost because of our gas appliances.
I have both Bule Air 205 and an IQAir Health Pro Plus. The IQAir filters particle sizes down to 0.003 microns while the BlueAir one is down to 0.1 microns. For particle size comparison, the size of COVID-19 virus is 0.12 microns.

Both are fine machines that exceeds most others. For people that want the best air quality, IQAir is the one to go with.

As far as the cost of the filters, there are 3 filters. The lowest one (premax) is about $80 and lasted me 1.5 years. The carbon filter (v5-Cell) is about $100 lasted me 2 years. The third filter (hyperHEPA) is about $200 and I have yet to replace it. I expect it to last about 4 years. In the long run, I would say the IQAir is cheaper in terms of replacement filters.

Your mileage will vary depending on how much you run it and at what fan speed. The machine keeps track of the hours it ran for and lets you know what filter needs to be replaced.

So is the ozone at 16ppb an issue or not?
