Original Coupon Deal

Excludes: Northern Territory, QLD Far North, QLD Regional, WA Regional, WA Remote

I found this originally here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/752466, but they dropped it by $20
I don't know anything about air purifiers. The Xiaomi ones seem popular here and cost around the same. So please rip me in the comments telling how Xiaomi model XXXX is better and cheaper.

I bought a Sandisk E30 for $89 thanks to @paloverde88. I still intend to buy a combination of things in my other post to make it to $500 for $50 off, but maybe include this thing if it's good.

      we have air purifier for allergies and pets and I swear by it, even when my partner has been sick, smash it on max and refresh the air, get rid of bad smells and lots of dust in the air.

      yes - daughter has this model in her room and helped her to stop the sniffles (was $198 at BL in Nov 22)

      decent airflow means she has the rear exhaust pointed at her during summer

Took 1 month to detox and allergies were really bad but now my Symptoms are less of an issue and i dont really need to use the air filter…i will never take those tablets ever again. ..

    I suffer hayfever or allergies. I have 5 units (2 x beurer, 2 x trusens and 1 x xiaomi). All 5 are based model. It does help my hayfever and allergies. All 5 units are running 24/7 in each bedroom and living room. All brands come with pros and cons like smart app, noise for sleep mode, shape, warranty, plug (au or europe for xiaomi). You will be amazed with the dust after 2 months of continously running. No regret as it does the job.

        I've got this exact model, had it for 2 years now. It does it's job well, basically a bit fan that pulls air through a fine mesh air filter and then through activated carbon to remove smells etc. It does it's job well, it significantly helps my hay fever and my bedroom has zero smells.

        Like someone said, the light sensor is slightly buggy, in dim day light it might trigger night mode which just means the fan activates intermittently. I don't see a problem with it, it's in the bedroom where I only need it at night anyway. It depends how you want to use it.

        I dont have this philips brand. For me with 3 brands that i owned, they all no different in term of helping my hayfever or allergies. Its more on the pros and cons mentioned above. I would say as long as you buy those well known brands then you will be fine as i believe they all do the same things and most importanly to filter out the dust and particle and change the filter regularly. The expensive model is like you buy the top model of car with same engine just extra features.

              -1

              @mrvaluepack: Er, no, Choice are not "general consumers". For their air purifier test in particular, they partnered with an accredited lab.

              "How we test air purifiers
              We test each air purifier with particles of dust, smoke and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to measure how quickly and effectively it removes them from the air. This test is based on the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) industry standard test for air purifiers. It's a good way to compare models, but be aware that performance in your home might be different due to different room sizes and shapes and varying levels of pollutants.

              Each unit is tested on its highest fan speed setting to give it its best chance of performing well.

              The pollutant (dust, smoke or VOC) is introduced in a controlled way into the test chamber and mixed into the air, then the testers measure how fast it naturally precipitates or decays from the air. The chamber is then cleared and the test repeated, this time with the air purifier running. We calculate the percentage of particles removed by the air purifier and compare this with the natural decay rate measured earlier. This tells us how quickly and effectively the air purifier is clearing the air.

              We test models on their highest and lowest settings so you'll know which ones are least likely to disturb you

              The best air purifiers will remove more than 90% of the particles used in our tests. The worst remove significantly less than this.

              We test dust removal using fine particles of titanium dioxide. Smoke removal is tested by burning wood chips, and VOC removal is tested with acetone."

              The samsungs largest model got 95% on smoke and dust. There's plenty on the market under 50%.

  • Denbo on 23/01/2023 - 16:48

    Was reading that these have apparently a flawed design with the light sensor (i.e. goes into night mode in areas with poor light). May want to do more research to see if that's been resolved ..

    • camshandez on 23/01/2023 - 18:27

      Yeah mine seems to detect night when I simply close a blind but still have a room light on. Haven't really paid too much attention recently though

    • skittlebrau on 23/01/2023 - 18:46

      Probably best to make it time-based rather than use a light sensor (if that's possible with this model).

    • jeozb on 23/01/2023 - 22:24
      +1

      I'm not aware of any option to disable the light sensor, but afaik this sensor doesn't slow down the fan speed when the speed is set manually (e.g. set to speed 2) instead of automatically. When the area gets dark, the display powers off (no lights, no numbers), only momentarily turning back on when the buttons are touched, but the fan maintains its manually-set speed.

    • mrvaluepack on 23/01/2023 - 22:36

      You should run all purifiers in max mode. Night/auto modes are useless.

      That sounds likely. Sometimes air purifiers do absolutely nothing for people; it all depends on your personal situation. As others have said, best to consult an allergy specialist doctor.

      As an example, your allergies could be caused by something like dust mites — despite marketing claims to the contrary, air purifiers aren't a great solution to that.

    • edrift on 23/01/2023 - 19:19

      Yep you're right.

      Better ones have ionisers to make dust drop out of the air and UV lamps to kill viruses and mould.

    • deadpoet on 23/01/2023 - 21:15
      +4

      The main difference is in the make-up of the HEPA filter. The best ones have a more efficient filter with extra layers of material (charcoal etc) that filters out more VOCs (volatile organic compounds) for example. I personally don't think it's worth paying 2-3x the price of a "cheap" and proven base model like a Xiaomi, but Obsidiate will probably call me an idiot, lol.

      Another consideration is ongoing logistical supply of replacement filters, and their cost — you want to make sure that you can still buy the filters several years from now, since they are a consumable item.

      Another factor to consider is the CADR (clean air delivery rate) — bigger machines have a more powerful fan so they are able to filter more air in a set amount of time, so these machines usually cost more as well (and their filters cost more as they are bigger and have more material).

      • justwii on 24/01/2023 - 11:46

        Was thinking if I can just buy a HEPA filter ($50) and attach it to my pedestal fan at home.

      • UsernameChecksIn on 29/01/2023 - 10:58

    • mrvaluepack on 23/01/2023 - 22:40

      Same with any other purifier. But at this price, it's close to the next cheapest air purifier with similar CADR capacity and levels of filtration. So, a pretty good buy.

    • trawg on 24/01/2023 - 10:23
      +3

      This is somewhat correct - that is why there is a movement now around the Corsi-Rosenthal boxes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsi%E2%80%93Rosenthal_Box), which is basically buying a couple filters, making them into a box, and putting a fan in there. They are cheap and effective.

      One thing I would say about off-the-shelf ones is they do sometimes have some technology in them. I have the Philips 3000 which has a particle sensor and wifi, both of which I use all the time. Depending on your needs though a CR box would do the trick if you don't mind a bit of DIY at a much lower price point.

      The latest on that front is people making them with PC fans, which are much quieter (but obviously smaller so move less air). Pretty interesting.

      • justwii on 24/01/2023 - 11:48

  • ZuluOz on 23/01/2023 - 22:24

    There are a lot of Air Filters that make all sorts of claims and there is very little testing, I trust Choice testing and they reccomend the following:
    Samsung AX750k
    Philips 3000i
    Blueair 3610
    Mitsubishi E85R
    Sharp FXJ808J
    Samsung 5500K
    Inova E20
    Philips 2000i
    Panasonic PXU70M
    Winix AUS1250
    Bissell Air320
    Coway 1516D

    Anything below that isnt reccommended.

    • deadpoet on 23/01/2023 - 22:46
      +7

      CHOICE's ratings are rather arbitrary and curious. For example, the Philips Series 1000 in this deal got the same overall CHOICE Expert Rating (66%, "not recommended") as the Xiaomi 3H, despite the Xiaomi scoring better in every performance test (see my comment above with the details). You have to read between the lines when looking at their test results.

      Essentially, the machines that CHOICE scores the best are the massive chonky ones that deliver huge CADR, and have big expensive filters to match — obviously these will perform better than small machines. The top scoring model according to CHOICE is the Samsung AX7500K, which costs $800-1000:
      https://www.samsung.com/au/business/air-purifiers/ax7500k-ai…

      CHOICE Expert Rating: 87%
      Dust performance score: 95%
      Smoke performance score: 95%
      VOC performance score: 43%

      There's no doubt this is an impressive machine. Is it worth 3-4x the cost of a cheaper machine like this Philips Series 1000, or a Xiaomi 3H? I leave that exercise to the reader.

      It looks like the CFX-C100/GB filter replacement filter costs $116-149 each, and you need to replace a set of two at a time, so $200+ to replace the consumables.

      I definitely disagree with CHOICE about their "recommendations" as I think a machine like the Xiaomi 3H or the Philips Series 1000 performs perfectly fine for the average consumer. There are diminishing returns to be had as you go up in price.

      If you want the very best money can buy, sure, get the Samsung AX7500K. If you shit on everyone else's "cheap" choices, you can expect there to be blowback.

          Not sure what you mean, how can I be a shill from CHOICE when I don't agree with their recommendations? No, I'm not a shill or a rep, just a dude who wants to get the best value for his money. There's a lot of misconceptions floating around about air purifiers, and frankly speaking IMO most people don't actually need one, so I'm always a bit surprised to see how popular these deals are.

      Was looking into blueair air purifier
      Anyone use it before?

    Bought this for $198 first week of this January from Amazon. Prior to that I had runny nose every morning and had to take nasal spray. Don't use the spray anymore so I think its filtering the bedroom well. I have set it to run at lowest setting as it goes crazy loud sometimes in Auto mode at night.

    These did rather poorly on the choice testing this year. ~60% filtering for smoke/dust vs 95% for the larger samsung unit. At the price point the kmart anko goes surprisingly well, up near 70% for dust but pants for VOC's. The Philips 3000 is far superior, but also far more expensive.

      Please tell the whole story instead of leaving out important details:

      This vs samsung you are referring to
      60% vs 95%
      270 vs 467 m3/hr CADR
      $188 vs $699

      If you get 3 of the philips one it'll not only be cheaper but have better results.

        Thats not quite how that works, and it'll also be a lot louder, while probably drawing more power.

        But sure, if you want to put 15 odd of them in an average 3 bedroom home, go nuts.

        • mrvaluepack on 24/01/2023 - 12:29

          Why not recommend this instead?

          https://iaqdirect.com.au/product/ionmax-aire-x/?gclid=Cj0KCQ…

          It has 1000 m3/hr CADR, pretty sure it'll beat the samsung by 200%.

          Or is it because Choice never reviewed it? Lol

            @mrvaluepack: They did review various models in the ionmax range. The multiple models tested were all in the mid-low range. Very noisy, energy inefficient, poor at VOC removal. As direct comparison to their peers at each price point.

            But sure, if you feel you have need of a unit capable of 260 square meters uhhhhh, go nuts. Or you could spend less, and get the tested, verified to work product. That does it much quieter, no less. It also lists UV light exposure, which is pretty debunked, as you're not killing jack shit by shining a UV light at it for a second or less.

            By the way, CADR isn't even remotely the be all and end all. You can have literally half the CADR at double the filtration efficiency and be doing a better job.

            It's pretty clear you're about halfway on the ball with all this. Could you possibly sit down at this point?

              @[Deactivated]: First you said:

              These did rather poorly on the choice testing this year. ~60% filtering for smoke/dust vs 95% for the larger samsung unit.

              Then you said:

              As direct comparison to their peers at each price point.

              So why did you start comparing the $700 samsung with this $188 philips?
