Effective Allergen Relief for Mid-Size Rooms
- The Blueair Classic 405 is the older version of Blueair’s upgraded Classic 480i air purifier, and will be available for a limited time only
- More cost-effective to purchase and maintain, the Blueair Classic 405 offers the same outstanding room coverage, quiet operation and particle capture performance as the state-of-the-art 480i model
- The Blueair 405 effectively removes particulate pollutants such as dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores and dust mite by-products from the air, making it ideal for allergy sufferers
- The 405 comes equipped with Blueair’s standard particle filter (rather than the more costly DualProtection filter in the newer model), so it does not handle chemicals, gases and odours
- The Blueair 405 air purifier is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing you to remotely control the unit’s multitude of functions from your smart device, however, the 405 lacks the onboard sensors that detect and report on air quality in the room
- The Blueair 405 comes with the full manufacturer's warranty (details in the chart below)

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.
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!

BLUEAIR CLASSIC 405/403 - CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Includes reviews for the non Wi-Fi enabled model 403)
“So far my Blueair 403 [now the Blueair 405] air purifier is working really well. I am almost off all allergy medication for my 2 kittens, and hopefully with some diligent cleaning, I can soon be completely medication free! The Blueair air purifier made a huge difference, and as promised, it is very quiet.”
K. Pettit, London, ON
“After using the Blueair 403 air purifier [now the Blueair 405] in our bedroom, I started using it in the main living room because most of the allergens are there. The Blueair seems to have made a difference as my wife now has fewer problems, and I've also noticed a lot less dust suspended in the air. I was a bit concerned as we have a large living room with a high ceiling, but the Blueair 403 seems to be handling the area well.”
M. Deslauriers, Montreal, QC
** An Important Word on Air Flow Rates and Room Coverage for the Blueair Classic 405 Air Purifier:
Many retailers and manufacturers overstate maximum room coverage figures by calculating them with air flow rates measured without filters installed (i.e., fan output) or with too low a number of air exchanges per hour to properly clean the room. Modern Alchemy Air Purifiers believes in stating the actual delivered air flow rates for the air purifiers we sell, as well as realistic room coverage figures calculated at effective air cleaning levels. Accordingly, we recommend that the Blueair 405 be used in rooms of up to 265 sq. ft. (for premium cleaning) or 530 sq. ft. (for general purpose filtration).
Note that air purifier performance should not be judged by air flow rates and room maximums alone. Many features that make an air purifier more effective at cleaning the air actually reduce the air flow rate. For example, higher grade HEPA filters, well-sealed filtration systems and large amounts of carbon all increase air resistance and reduce delivered air flow rates.
