Tools and Hardware Reviews of Blueair 601 Air Purification System
Customer Review: Very effective air purifier, but only quiet on lowest setting
Summary: 4 Stars
We've had several BlueAir purifiers for at least 5 or 6 years now and are very happy with them. They are quiet at low speeds and have very high ratings for the amount of air they purify. We bought ours based on recommendations from the Allergy Buyer's Club. My wife is allergic to our Norwegian Elkhound and is only able to tolerate him because of our BlueAir purifiers.
We like the two 402 units (which I gave 5 stars) more than the 601 unit. The 402 units have 4 speeds, the lower 2 of which allow us to sleep. The 601 unit only has 3 speeds, of which only the lowest is quiet enough to allow sleep or listening to music or TV in the same room. The 601 unit is good for a family room or living room as long as you turn down the speed while in the room. The 402 units are much better for bedrooms.
Customer Review: Loud and odoriferous
Summary: 2 Stars
This air purifier is good looking and mobile on it's casters but quite large. It's loud on the settings you would use if you have air problems like pet dander, light tobacco smoke, car exhaust, etc. I run it on MAX while at work and lower it while at home. I bought the 601 with the optional Smokestop filters and it has decreased residual smoke odors from my downstairs neighbors but with a twist...the machine (with these filters at least) gives off an odd and unpleasant odor of its own. I'm told the smell is harmless and should pass after a while but I've read of this issue in a number of online reviews so I doubt that it is just my unit. I am on the fence about keeping the 601 and am exploring other air purifiers in the mean time.Customer Review: LOVE this purifier!
Summary: 5 Stars
We LOVE our Blueair! Yes, it's big, but at least it's stylish. It's easy to wheel from room to room, and it is truly silent on the lowest setting, a pleasant white noise on the medium, and not all that loud on the highest. If it's too loud on the highest, just turn it on high when you leave like the previous reviewer suggested, and turn it down when you return. Wonderful on cooking odors (especially fish sticks!) and pet dander, and was SO useful when we painted the inside of our house--tremendously helped with that reely-head-from-fumes sick feeling--bleah! We're thinking of getting a second one for downstairs!Customer Review: Excellent HEPA air filter
Summary: 5 Stars
The product description and independent reviews (e.g., allergybuyersclub) say it all. This is an excellent air filter, quiet & reliable. The improvement in my office's air quality is dramatic. My unit is combating strong chemicals, pollen, auto fumes & cigarette smoke seeping in my window cracks, and occasional thick smoke from controlled burns. With the BlueAir601 on, I don't react to any of it, and I have very sensitive allergies.
