Blueair Classic 480i Air Purifier
The Blueair Classic 480i Air Purifier features a 434 square foot coverage area and two filter options including the HEPASilent™ particulate filter and the combination HEPASilent™ particulate and carbon filter. Blueair's 480i uses both electrostatic and mechanical filtration making it a more effective purifier that creates less noise. The HEPASilent™ filtration is responsible for trapping 99.97% of airborne particulates down to 2.5 microns in size. The activated carbon pellets help to absorb harmful airborne pollutants and chemicals including VOCs (volatile organic compounds). The unit also boasts advanced tech features including integrated air quality monitoring sensors that detect specific particulates including PM 2.5 and VOCs. The 480i comes with a 1-Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty (or 5-Year Limited Warranty if registered within 60-days). On Sale - Limited Time Only!
This product provides relief from: Asthma, Viruses, Bacteria & Germs, Dust Allergies, Fragrances & Odors, Mold & Mildew, Pet Dander, Pollen
The Blueair Classic 480i Air Purifier features Blueair's state-of-the-art electrostatic and mechanical filtration technology. This technology helps eliminate the need for extra-dense filter materials, thereby increasing airflow and reducing noise and energy consumption. It works by creating negatively charged ions and attaching them to the incoming small airborne particulates. Once these ions adhere to the particulates, they are then attracted to the positively charged filter media (material). This effectively traps the particulates within the filter material and keeps them there without the need for a denser filter. Moreover, the less dense filter works more efficiently at letting air pass through it enabling the purifier itself to use less power and saving energy costs in the long run and also producing less noise as an added result.
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)
- Perfect for mid-sized rooms up to 434 square feet
- Filters out 99.97% of airborne particulates including mold, pollen, dust, dander, bacteria, and viruses down to 2.5 microns
- Absorbs harmful pollutants including smoke, smoke odors, common household odors, gasses, chemicals, and volatile organic compounds
- Dual Protection HEPASilent™ particulate & carbon filter and HEPASilent™ particulate filter help eliminate detrimental airborne contaminants
- Works with Amazon Alexa, Blueair Friend Smartphone App, WiFi, & Bluetooth
- Built-in indoor air quality monitoring sensors detect PM 2.5 particulate matter and VOCs
- Receive real-time air quality alerts and filter change notification within the Blueair Friend App available at Google Play & Apple Stores
- Advanced electrostatic and mechanical filtration combine to help reduce energy costs and noise levels and create a more streamlined purification system
- Sturdy steel construction, timeless white finish, caster wheels, and a hidden control panel all come together in this brilliant Swedish design
- Certified for efficiency and excellent performance by QuietMark, AHAM, CARB, & Energy Star®
- Filters should be changed every 6-months depending on use, or when the filter indicator on the unit glows red
- Comes with a 1-Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty (or 5-Year Limited Warranty if registered within 60-days)
Intelligent Features:
The Blueair 480i Purifier comes with many attractive and intelligent features including its innovative air quality monitoring sensors. These sensors receive and interpret real-time indoor air quality data within your home. They can even detect specific airborne contaminants including PM 2.5 (particulate matter) and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) present within the air. The Blueair 480i immediately alerts you to the presence of these harmful contaminants through their "Blueair Friend" Smartphone App or illuminated on-unit indicators. WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities enable the 480i to send you alerts and notifications in real-time regarding your indoor air quality, letting you adjust settings as necessary even when away from home. Within the app you can also adjust fan speeds (low, medium, and high), power the unit on/off, and even adjust timer settings. You can also engage or disengaged auto-mode; auto-mode allows 480i to adjust settings as necessary on its own depending on current air quality conditions. The "Blueair Friend" Smartphone App is available in Google Play & Apple Stores. A hidden control panel located at the top of the unit lets you control the timer, power the unit on/off, engage auto-mode, adjust fan speeds, reset the filter indicator, and alerts you to PM 2.5 (particulate matter) and VOC (volatile organic compounds) contaminants. The 480i boasts a durable stainless steel construction with a gorgeous classic white finish and caster wheels for increase maneuverability, ensuring it fits within the most elegant decor for years to come.
