Tools and Hardware Reviews of Blueair 250E Energy-Efficient Air Purifier with Remote Control and Digital Display
Customer Review: Awesome machine
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best purifier I've ever used. Removed odors from kitchen within 10 minutes. Also removed dog odors very quickly. It is also very quiet. I have a pair of Honeywell 500250's that I paid 158.00 for each. They work well for dust etc. but are loud and do not remove odors near as well. The downside to the BlueAir is the cost of the filters. I would buy again however.Customer Review: Blueair 250E Air Purifier
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very happy with the Blueair 250E! It is very quiet, very easy to set up and easy to move to other rooms.
I highly recommend this product to anyone. I have a large apartment with very high ceilings. It worked instantly to take out any dander or dust (I have a dog..need I say more?)
Customer Review: Great value
Summary: 5 Stars
Gret item for a great price. For a product that runs 7 days, 24hrs. a day, purchasing this unit was a great value.Customer Review: Made in China, Fan motor chirping
Summary: 1 Stars
It's designed in Sweden but made in PRC.
I actually took it apart when the motor started making this annoying chirping sound after less than 24 months. If you look at the Blueair website, they sell a bunch of refurbished ones because all they do is replace the fan motor.
The housing looks hi-tech but it's just held by rivets and cheap machine screws. Inside the thin steel is a styrofoam casing and a plastic cover. A super quiet bathroom exhaust fan with a large car cabin filter!
It does filter stuff but the retail is ridiculous for what you get. I would give it 5 stars if it was $80 and it came with 2 filters.
If you're ok with throwing it way after 2-3 years, get it.
Customer Review: Okay unit but doesn't really compare to next larger unit
Summary: 4 Stars
First a note about the color-it is not really that beige like it looks in the picture, it's more of a nice off-white.
This is an okay model however it does not perform nearly as well as the next larger unit (402/403 models) both in terms of air filtering and quietness. While the 400 series is quite a bit larger, it actually takes up about the same floor space and affords you much better performance although looks more like a computer tower.
The 250E takes in air from the back and outputs it out the top, which means you can't place it up against a wall like you can with the 402/403 (which takes in and outputs air from the sides). You can place it 4" from the wall though. Also, because the 400 series is larger, the fan does not have to move as fast, which results in noticeably quieter operation, although the 250E isn't really that loud, it is not near silent at the lowest setting like the 403 is.
The 400 series also has a much more robust (thicker) filter. And, since the 250E outputs air out the top, you cannot put things like books on top of it like you could do with larger units.
This is not a bad unit for a small room though and the compact size is nicer than larger units. It does include a remote control and automatic sensor features, as well as a timer. However, I found that those don't really get used that much since you mostly would want to leave the unit on all the time and then manually turn it up when needed.
That said, the 402/403 unit is a lot larger and looks like a big computer tower. The 250E looks more appropriate for a small room/office and looks more like an air purifier. If you want something that looks a bit more discreet and your room isn't large, this 250E should suit you quite well indeed. You might also consider the Blueair 203W HepaSilent Air-Purification System, White which is a very similar unit for a lot cheaper, minus the remote control and automatic air sensor. Since you basically leave these on all the time and don't fool around with the controls that often, I think there is better value in the Blueair 203 unit.
