Blueair Classic 405 Air Purifier

BLUEAIR CLASSIC 405 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Blueair Classic 405 air purifier is the same as the new Classic 480i model (see full product description here), except that it does not come with Blueair’s new DualProtection filter or have the built-in air quality monitoring system. Aside from this, the Blueair 405 offers the same effective particle cleaning, advanced features, low power consumption and room coverage as the 480i.

The standard Blueair particle filter supplied with the Blueair 405 will do a stellar job of removing allergens from the air, but does not have the ability to capture chemicals, gases or odours. However, the DualProtection filter can be purchased separately for the Blueair 405 if your requirements change down the road (e.g., you move into a new/renovated house or a smoker rents the apartment next door).

The Blueair Classic 405 air purifier is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing you to control the unit’s functions remotely via your smart phone by downloading Blueair’s free Friend App. However, the Blueair 405 does not have the built-in air quality monitor. Again, if your needs change and you want the air monitoring capabilities (with real-time data on PM2.5 particles, VOCs, humidity), you can purchase the Aware Indoor Air Quality Monitor separately. This would give you the ability to run the Blueair 405 in “auto mode,” with the Aware monitor controlling the unit, a feature that is built right into the newer model.

To sum up, if you're only concerned with removing particles from the air, and are not interested in the onboard air quality monitoring system, then the Blueair 405 will save you $100 off the price of the 480i, and replacement filters will be half the price!
