Customer Review: Blueair 501 Air Cleaner
Summary: 5 Stars
"Quiet and efficient" was what we were hoping for, and we got it. This unit uses half the electricity of my previous, much smaller, air cleaners, and it is whisper quiet with four speed control. We use it on level 2 at night in the bedroom and level 3 during the daytime. Seldom go to level 4, but even when we do, the sound level is quite acceptable. Filtration is great, though we have not yet used it through the Spring allergy season.Customer Review: Does what I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been on since I opened it up about 4 months ago for the twins. Max setting is a bit loud but then again it has to move a lot of air so I can't imagine it being any less quiet. Anything below max is rather quiet. Wish it had some type of sensor or the ability to dim that blue active on light it has. But other then that it's really a simple box. It has a fan in the middle, 3 filters and just goes and goes. Almost feel like the fan should be reversed and the filters too. It draws air from below and filters within so I'd imagine the insides will get very dirty at some point. You'll know what I mean when you get it.Customer Review: Good Unit
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this unit last year. It does a good job of eliminating the dust. The owners manual says to replace the filters every six months. When I first read that, I thought that was just a tactic to make more money. After six months I checked them, and they needed to be replaced. With new filters, I turned it up to the next higher speed, and within three months they were dirty. The filters are not cheap (other brands aren't either), but that's the price I have to pay for cleaner air.
This unit has four speeds. On one and two, it's almost silent. On speed three you can hear it, but it's not objectionable. I leave it on that one all the time. The highest setting is too loud.
The unit uses electostatic technology, and at first the air seemed to have an unusual quality, like being at a high altitude. But after about a month I got used to it, and now I would never turn it off.
The only objection I have to this and most of the low to moderate priced home air purifiers is they don't adequately eliminate gases and/or odors. But as far as overall performance, this does a good job.

Summary: 1 Stars
Had mine for about 9yrs. Big, bulky machine that's heavy. My motor started making a weird howling noise--great, let's see how that 10yr. warranty works! Well, it was MY problem cause the factory demands you ship it back to them for evaluation. I'm a busy guy and packing and shipping this cumbersome monstrosity- ick! "So, will you just sell me a new fan motor?" NO we dont sell parts to the public. This machine is WAY overpriced, filters are insanely expensive. So, I went to Sears and spent $69 on a Kenmore unit and it's awesome and cleans just as good-- plus replacement filters are $16. Oh, one more thing the stupid blue LED on the front is so damn bright and serves no purpose at all- this machine is an over-engineered gimmick in my opinion.
