Blue 211+ Auto

I have a blue air one and it’s dumb but you can put it on a smart outlet because it remembers the previous settings.

I am a Blueair girly for 5 years now. I purchased mine due to days of research and consumer reports back in 2020. I keep mine on high since it is a nice white noise sound for my dogs (otherwise they bark at any little noise at night). The high setting is also where you find most of the benefits of cleaning the air in the room. If I do not have mine on, I can smell my dogs and everything feels dirty. I have two 211+ models.

I have one and think it is worth $50. I got it at Blueair and it was on sale for $300 or so off. It's a very expensive air purifier and three filters are need. If you want odor control, too, you must get the [Classic 500/600 Series DualProtection Filter](https://www.blueair.com/products/500-600-series-dualprotection), as opposed to the filters that just clean the room. They range from $120-150 for three, depending on where you buy them online. The Blueair website even has a subscription plan where you get a discount for subscribing. I'm using it in a foyer which is connected to a living room and dining room, and it works fine. The foyer is right off the breakfast nook and kitchen, and it does an excellent job eliminating cooking smells that drift into the foyer and can travel upstairs. The first two speeds are quiet, but the third highest speed is very, very loud. I also have the Blueair 211+ and 211 Auto in other rooms and really like them, too. If I need air purifiers in the future, I will always buy Blueair.

I have two Blueair purifiers that can get very loud on the highest setting--the 211+ Auto and the Classic 500/600. The latter one was discontinued and the 211+ can still be bought at Amazon, but not at Blueair. Finding OEM filters is no problem for either. You might also consider a sound machine that has fan noises and can get very loud. The loudest and best one I have found is the one below. It has 10 fan sounds and 10 white noise sounds, and the only machine loud enough for me. [https://www.lectrofan.com/collections/lectrofan](https://www.lectrofan.com/collections/lectrofan)

I use a blue air 211+ filter and love it. For some reason it also feels like the air cools down, but I know that's just because it's moving the air around the room. I've had mine for 4 years now? Replacement filters are a bit pricey, but it really helps the air in the old building I live in.

I had a couple of Winix 5500? units and now have a BlueAir 211+. I tend to open the balcony door when I cook so most of the smell vents out, and I live in a place that's not too dusty, so it works well in reducing dust on furniture. Unfortunately my place has wall to wall carpets. Is it worth it? I don't know. Less dust and obviously the dust stuck in the machine is dust not on the furniture, but is it reduced enough to where I'd buy it again? Not sure. My place is 988 sqf, so pretty small too. A few things to keep in mind; A lot of them have no real testing done, just bloggers who claim it does something. Filters can be expensive. They usually need to run on high to reach their CADR, and on high they are usually noisy, so I can only run mine on low or medium in the other room. No chance using it in the bedroom if I'm in there.
