Blueair 501 Air Purifier

The Bottom Line: You want results, you spend the money. BlueAir 501 blows away the competition (for now anyway). Indoor air quality studies are alarming, get SOMETHING! ;)

Review: Ok that's all well and good, but DOES IT CLEAN THE AIR?
Those of you that know me are aware that I'm pretty much a bottom-line guy. I once read that the greatest philosophy a salesman can have is to, "Sell the sizzle, not the steak." Well I...

The Bottom Line: If you have allergies, you need to get Blueair.

Review: Two years ago, I decided to research room air purifiers to put in our sub-basement. This is our laundry room, where our dogs ate and also where my husband worked out. Because there s no heating down there, the door is mostly kept shut. So there s no...

The Bottom Line: Buy something else, unless you find this unit at a garage sale and don't mind paying for the replaceable air filters.

Review: This air filter is advertised as silent, or nearly so. Well, yeah, at the lower settings it is pretty quiet. But what they don't tell you is that at the highest setting, it is anything but quiet. It is as loud as my vent fan above my oven, and...

The Bottom Line: If you have bad allergies and can afford the unit, I'd recommend it.

Review: I live in northern California and this year (2006) we got a lot of rain which made the allergy season pretty bad. Tired of waking up sneezing and having itchy watery eyes on most mornings, I started the search for an air purifier. I checked out a...

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this product until they fix the problems with their filters. Otherwise you have purchased a $500 fan or stink machine(if you choose to use the filters).

Review: I purchased the BlueAir 501 about 2 yrs. ago for a small master bedroom.I have 2 cats, which don't shed much, but I do have allergies. The BlueAir 501 seemed to do an excellent job of purifying the air.I use it 24 hrs. a day on the second highest...

The Bottom Line: Don't get it.

Review: See cons. This was the third airfilter we bought after first getting the honeywell 17200 and then the Vornado. While the first two worked very well, they were noisy so we got this one because it was suppose to be quiet. It is no more quiet than the...

The Bottom Line: There were no benefits detected and company is uncooperative with returns. Plus, I have to pay for shipping both ways now, even with supposed "free shipping" to get it here.

Review: My experience with Blueair, (a Medwing company), has been terrible. First off, I didn't notice one change after running the system for two days straight at full blast. Actually, I take that back. I noticed two things: 1) the room smelled exactly the...

Review: At first I thought this air purifier was great - it cleans the air well, is not *too* noisy (anything that moves air is going to make noise after all) and looked really smart.

However, after a year of use the fan on mine squeaks like crazy...

Review: I have suffered from allergies in my home for years now and have tried every air purifier out there! My daughter just bought me the Blueair model 501 air purifier for my birthday. I was skeptical since no other air purifier has done me a bit of...

Review: I've owned my Blue Air for almost 4 years now and I can't say enough good things about it.

While the filters are a little pricey, they do a great job of removing particulates. I think it is one of the top three air-cleaners for removing...
