Blue Pure 121 Air Purifier by Blueair

BLUE PURE 121 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The remarkable Blue Pure 121 air purifier from Blueair features an elegant design, washable pre-filter, whisper-quiet operation, low power consumption and outstanding air cleaning performance, but takes up just 13”x13” of floor space. Blueair's newly-designed folding combo filter contains 52 sq. ft. of particle filtration material, plus an activated carbon mesh material, enabling the Blue Pure 121 to capture both ultra-fine particulate matter and light chemicals, gases and odours. If you've been waiting for a high-performance air cleaner at an affordable price, the Blue Pure 121 is it!

The unique progressive-design combo filter in the Blue Pure 121 air purifier permanently captures airborne particles including pollen, dust, mould spores, pet dander, dust mite by-products, smoke particulates, combustion particles, printer/photocopier emissions, bacteria and other fine particulate matter. From there, the activated carbon mesh material incorporated in the combo filter takes over to handle low levels of ambient household chemicals and gases. If your concerns relate to VOC offgassing, tobacco or wildfire smoke, smog and other chemical/gas issues, however, we strongly recommend looking at Blueair’s Classic line of air purifiers equipped with optional DualProtection filters instead.

The Blue family of air purifiers has been designed from the ground up with airflow in mind, featuring a 360 degree air intake, a powerful but quiet motor, and an output at the top of the air purifier for effective clean air distribution. The bottom line is that the Pure 121 provides effective air cleaning no matter where it’s placed in your room. As polluted air is drawn into the Blue Pure 121 from all sides, airborne contaminants are electrically charged, ensuring that even the tiniest particles readily adhere to the oppositely charged filter media. By using electrostatic principles to enhance its mechanical filtration capabilities, the Blue Pure 121 air purifier is able to achieve better-than-HEPA performance, capturing an outstanding 99.97% of particles down to 0.1 microns, i.e., 3 times smaller than those trapped by standard HEPA air cleaners.

While most companies use standard triclosan-coated paper or glass filter fibres in their filters, Blueair uses non-toxic, non-woven polypropylene. Polypropylene is unique because it works without releasing irritating microscopic fibres into the air, and its water-resistant properties help to prevent contamination from bacteria, viruses and mould.

With its low-density filter, the Blue Pure 121 barely makes any noise at all, in fact, the Pure 121 on high-speed produces less noise than most air purifiers do on low. For those who are ultra-sensitive to sound, the Blue Pure 121 produces just 31 dB on its lowest setting, i.e., is as quiet as a whisper in a library. Energy Star-certified, this room air purifier is 40% more energy-efficient than most other air purifiers on the market, costing only pennies a day to operate.

Like all the air purifiers that we sell, the Blue Pure 121 releases absolutely no ozone or ozone by-products into the air. When inhaled, ozone can irritate/damage the lungs and worsen respiratory diseases like asthma, defeating the whole purpose of using an air purifier in the first place.

To maintain peak air cleaning performance and ensure warranty coverage for your Blue Pure 121, Blueair specifies that the filter must be replaced every 6 to 12 months. When the indicator light on the one touch button turns red, it’s time to change the filter, with a yellow light giving you plenty of advance warning. Changing the filter on your Blue Pure 121 is a breeze. Simply click the buttons on the side of the air purifier to release the top motor housing from the lower filter housing, remove and discard the old filter, unfold the new filter and fit it inside the housing and then replace the top portion of the air purifier. When you hear the “click,” you’re done!

Blueair’s Pure 121 air purifier features a steel mesh lower housing designed to securely hold and protect the combo filter, and a high-impact plastic upper housing that contains the motor, making the unit both lightweight and durable. Two coloured fabric pre-filters are supplied with the Blueair 121, allowing you to alter the outer appearance of the unit - dark grey for a neutral look, or electric blue to add a splash of colour to your decor. Extra pre-filters can also be ordered in Buff Yellow, Crystal Pink and Lunar Rock (light grey).

To sum up, the Blue Pure 121 air purifier by Blueair is the perfect choice for those who want to effectively clean a large area for a reasonable price. Its compact footprint, ultra-quiet operation and better-than-HEPA capabilities make it ideal for ensuite bedrooms, basements and rec rooms, offices and open concept living spaces where unobtrusive operation is needed.

BLUE PURE 121 - CUSTOMER REVIEWS

“I have been running my Blueair Blue Pure 121 air purifier for several days now. I run it during the day on the second speed and then turn it down to the first speed overnight. I am very impressed with the job it is doing. I am no longer aware of the smell of second-hand cigarette smoke in the corner of my dining room the way I had been, and the smell does not meet my nose as I come in the door from my walks. When the purifier is on the second speed, there is a soft purr from the motor. When it is on the third speed, there is very little sound at all. Thank you for all your patience with my questions and for your assistance in trying to find the right air purifier for me.”

“We are very happy with our Blue Pure 121 air purifier. The air quality in our home is noticeably fresher since we began running it about a month ago. A big factor in our decision-making process was the quality of service from Modern Alchemy. I appreciate the thoroughness of their website, and Robert’s advice to us was super helpful. No hard sell here - just very kind, generous and knowledgeable service from someone who really knows what he’s talking about! Modern Alchemy is the only store I would recommend.”
