BlueAir 501 Review

You can check out any consumer guide and reviews about air purifiers and you're almost assured to find BlueAir air purifiers, especially BlueAir 501 on the top 5 of that list. The first thing you'll notice about this air purifier is that it efficiently combines mechanical or HEPA-like and electrostatic technologies in one neat package.

That's something you won't find in other air purifiers. Coming from Swedish origins, the BlueAir 501 is one of the most commonly sold and most popular air purifiers you can lay your eyes on. Different malls along with allergy and asthma shops all have BlueAir 501 in there shelves...and it's very easy to understand why.

Many of today's electrostatic and ionizer air cleaners produce ozone. However, BlueAir 501 air cleaners don't produce even a single trace of ozone! And there are laboratory tests and studies that prove this. When the 501 is running, ozone levels drop down to insignificant levels. It even passed the 24-Hour Ozone Test of UL 867 (better known as Underwriter's Laboratories Electrostatic Air Cleaner Standard).

By using a set of brushes, the BlueAir 501 can purify and ionize as much air as possible by using as little current as it could. You see, the lower the current, the less ozone there is. The collision within the steel cage located inside the BlueAir removes the third oxygen atoms in ozone molecules...and this renders them as harmless.

Usually, air purifiers use glass fibers, which can harm the environment. However, the BlueAir 501 utilizes polypropylene filters that help greatly in prevention of molds and mildew. Just looking at the way this air purifier is built, you can tell that they're built to last a long time and for almost complete recycling.

Add the fact that it only uses 15-95 watts...earning an Energy-Star rating, you can say that the BlueAir 501 is one of the most environment-friendly equipments you can have in your home. Although this air purifier is a little heavy at 35 pounds and with the dimensions - 20x13x26 inches, the BlueAir 501 is definitely a must have if you want to keep the air in your homes clean and odor-free.
