Dave Usher does all the real work on that bit, though. Duncan also edits T3's golf section because fuck it, someone has to. He also covers cycling and ebikes – like over-using italics, this is another passion of his. He has covered everything from smartphones to headphones, TV to AC and air fryers to the movies of James Bond and obscure anime.ĭuncan's current brief is everything to do with the home and kitchen, which is good because he is an excellent cook, if he says so himself. Blueair clearly says that it is for 'light gases' only.ĭuncan has been writing about tech for almost 15 years, during which time he has attended every event going, apart from Apple ones, as he mysteriously doesn't get invited to them. I tried it in the kitchen when cooking burgers and that did not work out so well, but that's fair enough. I used it in rooms with a Dyson purifier set up to monitor the air quality only and the Blue Pure 411 was clearly maintaining good air quality. It just unobtrusively clears the air 5 times per hour. What I love about the Blue Pure 411 is that there are no app data read-outs to fuss over or make you feel (more) paranoid about your air quality. The maximum room size recommended by Blueair is 15 m sq which, understandably, is on the small size. Or, you know, turn on the kitchen extractor fan that is there to do that exact job.įor bedrooms, hallways, front rooms, parlours and anywhere else you're not setting fire to stuff the Blue Pure 411 seems to do a perfectly good job. Get a more butch air purifier if you're going to do that. (Image credit: Blueair) Blueair Blue Pure 411 review: performanceĭespite the picture above, there is no way I'd use this in the kitchen if you're doing high-temperature cooking that will produce smoke and oily fumes. I have now run out of things to say about the design of the Blueair Blue Pure 411 so let's move on. Putting it in the kids' rooms seems like an obvious use for the Blue Pure 411 but I do worry it might not survive the encounter in the long term, unless your children are particularly well behaved, or you put it out of their reach. It's compact and very light at just 1.5kg so it's easy to carry the thing around. The filter is a three-layer affair, with an outer filter to catch larger particles and dust, a fine HEPA filter to remove particles and allergens and a carbon filter to deal with fumes.Īs far as I can tell, the warning to change the filter is based on time passed rather than sensing how saturated with allergens, particles and smoke it is, so it's probably wise to keep an eye on it if you're using it in a more polluted area. What else can I tell you about the Blue Pure 411? Changing the filter is a simple matter, which is good since you'll be doing it a couple of times a year at least. Or do I mean hyyge? It's simple and minimalist is what I am saying. No apps, no displays, no flashing lights apart from a red one that tells you when to change the filter. They are as follows: one button on the top that you push to cycle the Blue Pure 411 between its three power settings. It's among the simplest and most compact air purifiers you can get.Ĭontrols are pretty simple too. It stands just 42.5cm tall and has a diameter of 20cm.
