Blueair Classic 480i Air Purifier

The Blueair Classic 480i Air Purifier is more efficient than other air purifiers thanks to its unique combination of electrostatic and mechanical filtration. This combination creates a more efficient air purifier that requires less energy, creates less noise, filters more particulates, and produces a stronger airflow. It does this by utilizing electrostatic filtration, which means it produces negatively charged ions that adhere to incoming particulates. Once the incoming particulates have been negatively charged by these ions, they are then forcibly attracted to the positively charged filter material, thereby effectively trapping them and keeping them there. Because of this technology more particulates are absorbed or filtered than otherwise would have been with standard mechanical filtration alone. This allows Blueair to use a less-dense filter material to trap the incoming particulates, creating less noise and stronger airflow rates which results in more air changes per hour.

Blueair's Mechanical Filtration:

• HEPASilent™ Particulate Filtration: is made from millions of interwoven and layered fibers, these fibers are then constructed into a pleated design to form the HEPASilent™ filter material. This material is responsible for trapping 99.97% of airborne particulates including pollen, mold, dust, dander, bacteria, and viruses down to 2.5 microns.
• Dual Protection HEPASilent™ Particulate & Carbon Filtration: is made from the same HEPASilent™ filter material but with an added layer of naturally sourced, coconut shell derived, activated carbon pellets. These pellets help absorb harmful airborne pollutants including smoke, smoke odors, household odors, chemicals, gasses, and even volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Intelligent Features:

The Classic 480i features multiple integrated air quality monitoring sensors that can detect harmful contaminants present in your air, including PM 2.5 (particulate matter) and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). The 480i is also equipped with WiFi & Bluetooth capabilities, allowing it to communicate with your Smartphone through the "Blueair Friend" Smartphone App (available in Google Play & Apple Stores). Within the app, you can adjust fan speeds, power the unit on/off, adjust timer settings, and receive filter change notifications along with real-time indoor air quality alerts. You can also engage auto-mode within the app or on the unit in the hidden control panel. Auto-mode interprets the received air quality data and adjusts purification settings as necessary, without you having to press a single button. The hidden control panel located on the top of the unit also allows you to turn the unit on/off, reset the filter change indicator, and even alerts you about PM 2.5 and VOCs with its illuminated indicator lights. The 480i itself is the midsized unit in the Classic i Series and performs best when given enough space between it and the objects surrounding it, allowing it to circulate fresh clean air to every corner of the room. It features a coverage area of up to 434 square feet making it ideal for home offices, bedrooms, cozy living areas, or reading nooks. It's heavy-duty stainless steel construction, gleaming white finish, and caster wheels help it move and meld easily within your home for years to come.
