Design

This is a small portable purifier that you can even take with you when you travel. Although you might think such a small air purifier is unable to compete with larger purifiers, it is able to filter the air in rooms up to 365 square feet just as well. The manufacturer’s attention to detail in the exterior design is easy to notice. Its modern aesthetics will blend in any environment. Although the 45-pound Blueair Model 450E air purifier lacks any kind of casters, it has built-in carry handles so you can transport it from room to room. The purifier is easy to use, as you are able to view the gas and electronic particle sensors, set the purification speed, program the timer and be notified when the filter needs to be replaced. The remote controls allow you to manually adjust the levels without having to leave your desk.

Other Features

The E in the air purifier’s name stands for Electronic, although it means much more: economical, environmentally-friendly, excellent and effective. It is smaller than the 600 series but provides the same air cleaning performance. Gas sensors and electronic particle confirm that the 450E purifier is effective in removing allergens like pet dander, odors, mold spores, gas, pollen, dust, and smoke. Moreover, when the sensors detect new levels, they adjust accordingly before you even realize that the air pollutants have reached harmful levels. The SmokeStop filter is standard on the 400 series and adds 2 pounds of activated carbon extracted from coconut shells. This filter along with the HEPASilent particle allows the machine to eliminate most pollutants, including Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). Once the levels are lowered, the air purifier returns to a quieter pace to save energy. Other features include 4 fan speeds, air inflow through one side, outflow through the other side, internal ionizer, electronic controls, galvanized steel housing and built-in carry handles.

    I have bought this air purifier a while back now, and up to this point, I haven’t had any problems with it. It has a silent operation, just like it says in the review, and it eliminates all the unpleasant odors from the air.

  • Elle

    I know that Blueair is among the best producers of such appliances, this being the reason why I want to purchase an air purifier manufactured by this company. Is this a good choice for me if I want to place it in a 200 square feet room, or should I look at another model that comes from Blueair?

    • This model is designed for rooms that measure up to 365 square feet, so it won’t have any issues when it comes to purifying the air in your 200 square feet room. Keeping in mind how well it performs and the fact that it comes at a reasonable price, we encourage you to buy it.

    It’s a really great performing model, I definitely recommend it. I have one at home, and my allergies never act up due to its wonderful air purifying performance.

  • Timothy

    Blueair is indeed one of the best manufacturers on the market for air purification systems, so it didn’t surprise me at all to see how great the 450E actually performs. What’s even better is the fact that it consumes next to nothing when it comes to electricity, so there wasn’t a spike in the bills since I’ve been using it.
