The Blue Pure 211i Max is the pick for big bedrooms. Blueair rates it for 674 square feet at 4.8 air changes per hour, with a CADR of 450 cfm for pollen, 452 for dust and 435 for smoke, which is far more air than a typical bedroom needs. That headroom is the point: in a normal room it can sit on a low setting that Blueair puts at 23 dB, and it tops out at 53 dB on high. Speed options run from 1 to 4 plus Auto and Night, and three sensors adjust the fan as the air changes. The app tracks filter life, which Blueair puts at up to 9 months. Blueair offers a 30-day home trial and extends the 1-year warranty to 3 years when you register. The downsides are price and size: $349.99, and a 16.2 lb body that needs floor space.
Who it is for
Large primary bedrooms and open sleeping areas that need fast cleaning at a low fan speed.
