Product Information

Your symptoms will only be eased to a noticeable extent with an air purifier that works quickly to clean the air. The Philips Air Purifier Series 800 is designed for rooms up to 49m 2 , in our example the room is a kitchen/diner which is approximately 40m 2 so tests the device to the larger sizes it is designed for. It only took 10 mins to noticeably take the chill off the room and bring it up to a comfortable standard. levels from a maximum 411 micrograms per square metre to 25 in 135 seconds, bringing it down to double figures in just over a minute.

test it brought the levels down to double figures within a minute, and they kept on ticking downwards, where other compact purifiers seem to struggle the closer the count gets to safe levels.An air purifier with a HEPA filter will capture particulate matter down to the size of airborne viruses, including COVID-19. However, it's not as durable (it weighs in at 1 pound, compared with the 10 to 30 pounds of more solidly built machines), so you'll want to handle it gently, which should be easier to manage in a quiet, low-traffic nursery.

Our favourite is this one, Roger Little (there’s also a Roger Big for 104m 2 rooms and plain old Roger for 66m 2 rooms).

In areas where noise is a factor, like a bedroom, you could operate the machine on high when you’re out of the room, then drop it to a lower fan setting before going to sleep. It’s fairly light, weighing only about 7kg, but if that’s too heavy for your wall it has a vegan leather carry handle and two detachable legs at the back, so can also be placed on the floor. The 311i+ Max's washable fabric pre-filter that encases the device (available in five colors) snags fur, dust and other large particles. Noise is another factor – you don’t want to replace one irritation (allergies) with another (the sound of a jet plane in your room). Compact, stylish and effective for its size, the BlueAir Blue 3210 air purifier is the perfect option for keeping the air clear in smaller rooms.
