Pure 211+ Auto

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 the Blueair 211 and Classic 605. Both are great air purifiers and make great noise on high, but they appear to be older models, so may not be easy to find. If you end up buying an air purifier that is too quiet, consider also getting LectroFan Classic White Noise Machine. It has lots of fan sound choices and is the only sound machine I have ever used that is loud enough for me.

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)

If you're looking at the Winix C610, you could also look at the T810 which has higher CADR and right now is going for cheaper ($185 on Amazon). Very similar looking models. Technically it would be "overpowered" but that just means it'll perform better at lower air speeds, which means you could operate it quieter than others. I know a lot of people really like the Blueair 211 and it's very popular. I'm personally not a big fan of the pre-filter and I found the fan noise of a different Blueair model to sound more high-pitched. Minor complaints and very much personal preference.

Well the larger 211 is still trucking after these years so that is why is just repurchased the improved model.

My allergies symptoms are the typical common symptoms PLUS severe asthma. Absolutely can not breathe. I bought an expensive $500 air purifier for my GF’s bedroom (she has cats) and I’m now able to stay the nights over at her place without my lungs congesting up as bad as before. They still do congest up but it happens waaay later than before and not as bad, also I haven’t had to use my rescue inhaler in a while. So I’d say get an oversized purifier rated for a space way above your room size

I use the Blueair 211. Hepa filter and a few other filters in it. I’ve apparently stopped snoring too according to my gf lol

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.

You spend a third of your life in bedand good sleep is important. Bedroom ones should be the best units. More $$$ doesn't necessarily mean best. Just do your research. I have a Blueair 211 in my bedroom and a 411 in my daughter's. We have a 311 in the basement near the cat litter.

I have horrible sinuses. Over the years, I've used a bunch of different kinds of air purifiers. The ones that I've used for the past 8 or 9 years have been BlueAir. I've used their 211 and 411 models 24/7. They're both quiet, don't use a lot of energy, and have lasted with no problems over that time. The main reason that I like them is that they're easy to clean. A dirty air purifier doesn't do anybody any good. All high quality air purifiers have a pre-filter that collects the larger dust particles. The HEPA filter collects the microscopic stuff. To clean the pre-filter on most of them requires disassembling the unit and struggling with a mesh or fabric filter that's usually glued onto a plastic frame. It's not quick and it's not easy. The BlueAir models have what looks like an ornamental fabric cover on the lower part of the outside. That's actually the pre-filter. To clean it, you slide it off exactly the way that you slide off a sock, and then throw it in the wash. It goes back on the same way that you slide on a sock. It's a brilliant, extremely effective design.
