    Any experience with this model, pros and cons please

      Had this for a year, I'm comparing it against the Xiaomi 2s which I had previously.

      I'm using this for my bedroom instead of the larger open area of the Xiaomi.

      Filters last a year and relatively easy to get from eBay. It's very quiet. The auto detect function works well. The foot print isn't too large or ugly.

      I was deciding between this and the Xiaomi 4 compact. The glass box test puts the Xiaomi 4 ahead but I think price at the time is why I went with the Philips and it's still a performing.

        Are the ebay filters you get philips ones, or third party. If third party, are they just as good? I have the 1000i and need to replace the filter at some stage.

          it's 3rd party but they look the same to me and it about $25 with all the ebay vouchers/deal

          • jaysansan on 12/10/2024 - 17:06

            @Queue2Queue: Awesome, do you have a link?

            @Queue2Queue: You can't trust 3rd party no-name HEPA filters, there's no telling what they're made of or whether they actually filter properly or not.

            Air purifiers are all about the filters, to me it's absolutely insane that people are buying an expensive air purifier and then buying cheap 3rd party filters of unknown origin and composition.

            If people want an affordable and reliable air purifier, I always recommend the IKEA range such as FÖRNUFTIG, and you are guaranteed a steady supply of cheap and genuine HEPA filters:

              @deadpoet: Incorrect.
              Air purification is not "all about the filters". It's a combination of volume and filtration, hence clean air delivery rate CADR is used to measure potential effectiveness.
              You could use a lower rated filter but move more air through the filter and achieve the same result.

      What a similar model looks like in operation: https://www.airpurifierfirst.com/review/philips-series-800/

      I use the much larger Philips 3000 series posted here on Auto mode after a heavy back burning and fire season and in sleep mode every night: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/802219

      Sleep quality has been a night and day difference in improvement for my mild asthma and allergies and when the AQI is high. The larger 3000 unit is quite light to move around and simple to use. Noise in sleep mode is minimal. I have good hearing and can barely hear it at 2m away.

      On the other end of the spectrum is the Dyson Purifier Big+Quiet Formaldehyde posted earlier https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/870860 which I think is a excellent bargain if you can afford it and have the space.

      The 800i series looks to be more compact and effective for smaller rooms with the added bonus of cheap replacement filters. I personally would buy it over the 3000 series for individual bedrooms, smaller size and the simple controls.

    • fredblogs on 12/10/2024 - 13:22

      I have the 1000i. Love the wifi / google home integration. Sleep mode is quiet.
      Turbo mode is very loud but it's white noise and I can sleep with that. Speed 1 and Speed 2 make this horrible high pitched whine so I don't use them.

      I still get some hay fever and blocked nose even when it's on though, not sure how much it's helping.

    • y2k on 12/10/2024 - 17:12

      We've had this device for one year.

      Pros: it definitely becomes more active when fumes around eg my wife is a make up artist who very occasionally records videos in our bedroom where the dresser is. It ramps up when she is working with the powder etc.

      Smart features work nicely with Google Home and Alexa.

      Cons: prob not all that different to others but filters are not cheap relative to the device. Probably typical of machines this size ($35 OEM, $25 -$30 knock offs). We run it every night, and the current filter gave us a warning just before the one year mark. I'm fairly sure it does this based on time alone rather than Filter condition, as you manually reset the filter counter. Is this any different for others?

      • fredblogs on 12/10/2024 - 21:02
        +1

        that's right, it's time based. There's no sensors that can detect if the filter is used up

    • antigrate on 13/10/2024 - 00:59
      +1

      Don't bother with it! The air quality sensor is wildly inaccurate (it goes to 500+ (hazardous) whenever I'm cooking which is obviously incorrect). It also does a terrible job at eliminating odours. Get a bigger air purifier, something that isn't tiny with an even tinier filter.

      • Jklaro on 13/10/2024 - 07:58

        The 3000i you talking about

        • antigrate on 13/10/2024 - 11:47

          Nope… I'm talking about the 800i. That is the exact model that I have.

    Genuine queation!!! My whole family suffers from Hayfever!! I am thinking of getting a air purifier but dont want to spend an arm and a leg!!!

    Would this one be a good device to use in the home? This model with the discount falls within my budget!!

    Also how long does the filter lasts??

    • fookos on 12/10/2024 - 13:08

      One of these little ones won’t cover a home. You’ll need them in different rooms.

    • kidamnesia on 12/10/2024 - 13:17
      +1

      I don't know how much you'd like to spend, but getting a good air purifier is definitely worth the investment, especially when your whole family has a need for it.

      A few years ago, I visited a couple who claimed to have bought a $500+ air purifier. I could feel the difference right when I walked in. It was not only odorless, but scentless. The house (living room at least where the purifier was) felt so clean and fresh.

      Unfortunately though I could not remember what the exact one was that they were using.

      • Tokz666 on 12/10/2024 - 13:30

        Thanks for the response!!!

        But as a noob this one will be ok for bedroom correct? But not good enough for the living room? As its small capacity?

        Your suggestion is to buy 1 expensive one and move it around as needed??

        • kidamnesia on 12/10/2024 - 13:45

          Yeah, the one op posted is for bedrooms. Comments from fookos above also have links to bigger ones from the same brand.

          I would not recommend moving a large one around, coz it could be too noisy for bedrooms.

          The best practice is probably, and unfortunately, to put one in every room according to its size.

    • Phage on 12/10/2024 - 13:57

      I have the same issue, going with the kmart one. good reviewed and large coverage

      • Tokz666 on 12/10/2024 - 14:42

        I love kmart stuffs!! But a bit unsure on the quality of their air purifiers!!! Anyone using them can recommend??

        Philips i know is a household name from long!!!

      • DiscoJango on 13/10/2024 - 09:25

        uh, dont get the kmart one. i did, and guess what, you cant buy filters for them! even though it says available on their website, they cancel the order after youve placed it. ive tried ordering at least 7 times since feb and it gets cancelled everytime. im emailing their cs team threatening to escalate further as their selling a product which they dont support.

    • darthsparrow on 12/10/2024 - 14:19

      @Tokz666 The filter for the one posted here lasts for 12 months. The 2000i and 3000i’s last for 3 years. The screen on my 3000i shows the percentage left, I’m currently at 50% after 2 years of usage mostly for night time only.

      • Tokz666 on 12/10/2024 - 14:44

        Thats pretty good mileage!! I plan to have it running for a bit during the day and once the air is clear might turn it off!! (Living room unit)

        Bedroom unit will run all night long!

        How much of a yearly running cost am i looking at if i get the 800i series for bedroom?

    These products work but a pain to need several for a home and then the cost of multiple replacement filters as needed.

    They need to develop on that is robotic-like and moves around the home a bit like a robotic vacuum cleaner to purify where needed most at any point in time based on an algorithm.

    • SirFrankGrimes on 12/10/2024 - 13:32

      I think this is a great idea. A sensor in each room and a robot purifier that responds to poor air quality. It’s very clever!

  • viTRifY13 on 12/10/2024 - 13:35
    +1

    I ended up buying two of the 800i's for two bedrooms and one 1000i for the main living room. Looks like Philips have released new models so maybe the discount is to clear them out? Doesn't really matter though as it's the HEPA filter that matters the most for allergy sufferers. Plus I like the smart home integration capability (home assistant) of these models.

  • BlasterBoy on 12/10/2024 - 14:47

    Has anyone actually used a air quality monitor to check that what they are using is actually working?
    I made my own one, and got a ACM to keep an eye on things.
    Doors closed I am on 0 for PM2.5.
    I have had it up to 16-18 and within 30min it's got it back down to 0

  • bcYield on 12/10/2024 - 15:27

    How often should for the filter replacement? Newbie to home air purifier here. Not sure if I need to stock up some filters now as they are also on discount $35.10

    • darthsparrow on 12/10/2024 - 17:51

      The filter for the model posted above: https://www.amazon.com.au/PHILIPS-FY0194-30-NanoProtect-Repl… It is rated for 12 months (shown in one of the photos) but your mileage might vary.

      • SirFrankGrimes on 13/10/2024 - 13:27
        +1

        Would I be right in saying it’s best NOT to stock up on these as the carbon filter becomes less effective over time, regardless of whether it’s inserted in the air purifier or not? Or, is it only once taken out of the airtight packaging that it begins to degrade?

  • Gondutch on 12/10/2024 - 15:45

    Is it good to get this if I only want to reduce the amount of dust in my room mainly? Don't really care about the small particles/allergens

    • MrBr0 on 12/10/2024 - 16:09

      I found vacuuming regularly cuts down dust

    • deadpoet on 12/10/2024 - 20:12

      They absolutely will not cut down on the amount of dust in your room — you need to vacuum your room regularly. Look into getting a robot vacuum if you're not up for doing it manually. And you'll still need to manually dust and wipe down other surfaces that the vacuum doesn't reach.

  • ozbkd on 12/10/2024 - 17:57

    Anyone know if these require an internet connection, or just local network for the Air+ app?

  • Genepi on 12/10/2024 - 18:45

      Dehumidifier might be more effective?

  • miwahni on 12/10/2024 - 22:39

    I have this model. My house is small and I have it in the lounge room. Most of the time it's dead quiet, just a low whispery hiss, but it ramps up when I'm cooking. What I really like is how I get warnings when the air quality is poor, so I know it's time to turn it on for a bit. Very helpful when old mate next door was jackhammering concrete.

    • Jklaro on 13/10/2024 - 08:02

      Does it fix cooking smells in the air?

  • BuddhaBoy on 13/10/2024 - 14:42

    Does air purifiers actually work/assist with improved air within the house?
    Have hay fever that triggered decades ago after moving to Melbourne. Wondering if it’s worth giving this a try for the bedroom.

    Also, how do you figure out the size of the purifier for a lounge that is open-living style with a kitchen and passage?

    • SirFrankGrimes on 13/10/2024 - 19:17

      Do some maths: L x W x H of each room. Add those together and there’s your cubic metre of the space. Compare to air purifier recommendation

        Thanks Sir!

  • trawg on 04/11/2024 - 09:03

    I bought one of these in this sale & just returned it. It's wayyyy too noisy. Night mode just has a constant on/off whine as the motor spins. It actually sounds broken.

    This is my third Philips air purifier - first of this model - so I'm pretty familiar with how they work, especially in night mode, but this one is just unusably noisy for me in a bedroom environment, which is what I bought it for.

    • fredblogs on 05/11/2024 - 21:43

      I have the 1000i and it doesn't have that issue - maybe your item was faulty?

      • trawg on 06/11/2024 - 15:08

        Quite possibly. My 3000i and my other unit (can't remember what it is, not a 1000i though, another small one) are almost silent in night mode. This one sounds like something is dragging in the fan. I am reluctant to pull it open and look - can't see anything shining a torch down. Too much effort in the end. Will look at replacing it with another small unit.
