If they live near a busy street. If they have pets. If they have allergies. Bushfires. Some can help with reducing the amount of airborne virus in an environment. Monitoring your environment (CO2, AQI etc can be reported) …
Makes sense. Thanks
Monitoring your environment (CO2, AQI etc can be reported)
I'm not aware of any that do this properly. Some of them have extremely vague air quality indicators, but haven't come across proper AQI figures, and definitely not measures for specific gasses.
Would be interested to know if any exist… the closest thing I can think of is this but it's a separate unit.
I mis-spoke/typed: I was thinking of another device I've been meaning to buy lately (dedicated CO2 / air monitors). Air filters will commonly report PM2.5.
@enigma48: Most air purifiers don't even do PM2.5 even if they report anything, AFAIK. They just do a vague numeric scale without reference to measuring for a specific particle size.
pollen, bushfires, definitely great if there is someone with a respiratory virus is in the house, though you can get much bigger HEPA ones like the Xiaomi ones for a little bit more.
AQI can get over 100, just did the other day.
125 isn't bad for a purifier, but the RRP is a joke- currently 240 via Bunnings and 205 at Big W.
Looks like it's designed for tiny spaces though- like literally one small bedroom.
I did laugh at that - even so it's still a nice discount!
Looks like a Tuya re-badge.
Better option from Amazon

As long as it doesn't fill people's lungs with shredded foam, or catch fire, like their CPAP machines were
Exactly how complex do you think a purifier is? It's literally a fan on one side of a hepa filter.
What's the complexity have to do with it? They killed 400+ people by failing to provide filtered air. And then their replacement units were catching fire due to sketchy electronics. Both functions are shared between devices, it wasn't the pressure or humidity management of the CPAP that was the issue. And if they cut corners to that exent on both the air filtration and power delivery on a medical device, there's no way I'd throw money at them to do the same two functions on a more consumer facing device.
@Carnal: This has nothing to do with other Phillips products, it's literally a 2 part machine. A bog standard AC electric fan and a hepa filter made by a company other than Phillips.
I've taken a fair number of purifiers apart. And made my own. They are… stupidly simple. No foam, no water, no heating elements.
You may as well rant on about CPAP machines in a thread about Philips shavers or ice cream makers.
@rumblytangara: An AC driven fan in a device that controls speed via an app? PWM driven DC motor makes way more sense than a VFD for an AC motor for a device of this size & class.
No foam and replacable generic filters? How are they sealing around the filters? Silicone? Rubber? Some other soft polymer that wouldn't be safe to breath if it breaks down? Or are they just raw dogging the filter, and letting unfiltered air circumnavigate the filter?
And the ice shaver shares zero functionality here so that comparison makes no sense. They failed to provide clean filtered air when it's being directly pumped into people't lungs. I'd rather purchase an air filtration device from a company that doesn't have a track record of catastrophically failing to filter air, and there's plenty of other companies to choose from.
@Carnal: How many purifiers have you looked at?
Of the ones I've owned (which number more than ten separate model types, not number of purifiers, as I went through a period testing these at home) a grand total of ONE used sealing foam around the filter cartridge. Including my Swiss made unit.
And this 'foam' in my one model (Sharp) is pretty much the same as any generic 3M weather sealing strip you'd source from anywhere. It's not some specialist in-house creation. And a newer Sharp model didn't use foam at all.
Or are they just raw dogging the filter, and letting unfiltered air circumnavigate the filter?
Even with foam, you get some amount of air bypass (well, except for on my Swiss machine). But that doesn't really matter, the purifiers generally don't filter out 100% anyway, they filter out most the particles during a pass, and rely on frequent air exchanges to clean the air rather than perfect one pass filtration.
Clearly you've got some weird beef with Phillips, which is fair enough. But seriously, how many of these macines have you really looked at, or are you pulling ideas out of (haha) thin air and hoping that something catches in the filter?
Personally, I've never owned a Philips as there have always been more compelling or more interesting alternatives. I've had some really good units, some average units, and a couple that turned out to suck for or reason or another. But trying to compare a fan in a box that sits in the corner of the living room to CPAP machines is ludicrous.
These 'air purifiers' are just a basic fan & a cheap filter inside a plastic bucket - not worth $125
Everyone also forgets to take the plastic off the filter.
AQI is 20 here. Why would someone want this?
