Blueair HealthProtect Air Purifiers - 7470i and 7770i

BLUEAIR HEALTHPROTECT 7470i and 7770i - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

If you could put a price tag on peace of mind, then the new Blueair HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i air purifiers are truly a bargain. Blueair’s most technologically advanced air cleaning systems to date, HealthProtect air purifiers feature three state-of-the-art technologies and a plethora of cutting-edge features to provide unrivaled air cleaning performance, protection, functionality and energy efficiency. Breathing cleaner air has never been more important for your health and – as the name suggests – Blueair HealthProtect air purifiers are here to do just that.

At the heart of the Blueair HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i air purifiers is Blueair’s new HEPASilent Ultra Filtration System. Like other Blueair air purifiers, this system combines electrostatic and mechanical filtration to trap particles 0.1 microns and larger at 99.97% effectiveness. However, in their quest to create the ultimate cleaning machine, Blueair’s engineers redesigned the filtration system for the HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i from the ground up. The new HEPASilent Ultra system enables the HealthProtect units to deliver 50% more ultra-clean air, while using 55% less energy than standard HEPA air purifiers. Energy Star rated, HealthProtect air purifiers use a mere 8 watts of electricity on their low fan speed setting.

The ability to capture particles 3 times smaller than a medical-grade HEPA filter can enables the HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i air purifiers to effectively remove harmful fine particles such as tobacco and wildfire smoke particulates, traffic emissions, cooking oil smoke, fine aerosols, bacteria, fungal fragments and other pathogens from the air (in addition to traditional allergens such as dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and dust mite by-products).

But the innovation doesn’t end there. Blueair’s game-changing GermShield technology – found exclusively in the HealthProtect family of air purifiers – deactivates 99%² of the germs trapped in the filter! The GermShield monitors your room 24/7, even when the air purifier is on standby, and goes to work when germ-prone conditions are detected, deactivating potentially infectious pathogens in the filter media and preventing bacterial growth.

Unlike many air purifiers that only push clean air out in one direction, the Blueair HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i air purifiers feature another Blueair exclusive – SpiralAir technology. The SpiralAir outlets in HealthProtect air purifiers are uniquely engineered to provide omni-directional airflow into the room, with outlets running along the entire length and across the top of the air purifier on both sides. This ensures that your entire space is filled with ultra-clean air as quickly as possible.

Both the Blueair HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i air purifiers are fitted with Blueair’s new SmartFilter. This V-shaped folding filter was designed with both performance and safety in mind, featuring a large surface area for maximum collection of pollutants and pull tags that allow for contactless filter changes. Putting the “smart” into the SmartFilter is an RFID smart chip that monitors the status of the filter in real time and automatically resets the unit’s filter indicator when the filter is changed. The SmartFilter also enables HealthProtect air purifiers to accurately estimate the remaining filter life using an advanced algorithm that takes into account particulate levels in the room (from particle sensor data), airflow rates during the time the filter was used (based on fan usage) and estimated filter loading. Wow, that really is a SmartFilter!

Filter life for the Blueair HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i air purifiers can run up to 12 months (vs. 6 months for Blueair Classic air purifiers), due in part to two permanent, cleanable pre-filters that pop-out for quick and easy maintenance. And while Classic units require the additional purchase of the DualProtection filter for chemical/gas adsorption, the HealthProtect SmartFilter does it all, with natural coconut activated carbon incorporated throughout the filter to adsorb gaseous pollutants such as traffic fumes, tobacco and wood smoke toxins and harmful VOC off-gassing.

The Blueair HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i units (i.e., the 70 models) both feature a premium LCD display panel on top of the air purifier that is not available on the other HealthProtect models (i.e., the 10 models - 7410i and 7710i). This provides detailed real-time updates on your room air quality based on readings from Blueair’s advanced SmartSensor system. The HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i are the first Blueair air purifiers to provide particle readouts by particle size to provide deeper insights into any air quality issues you may be experiencing. Readouts available on the LCD panel include:

• PM10 (Coarse Particles) – e.g., settling dust, pollen, mold spores, plant spores, textile dust.
• PM2.5 (Fine Particles) – e.g., pet dander, house dust, vehicle exhaust, wood burning, industrial emissions, respiratory droplets, some bacteria.
• PM1 (Ultra-Fine Particles) – e.g., suspended dust, cooking particles, wildfire smoke, tobacco smoke, smog, carbon black dust, cat allergens, some bacteria, fungal fragments.
• Total VOC Gases (tVOC) – current and historical total VOC readings. Sources of harmful VOCs in the home include personal care products, household cleansers and detergents, hand sanitizer, air fresheners, construction materials, paint, glues/adhesives, stoves/cooking, candles and many others.
• Temperature (C/F) and Relative Humidity
• Filter Life – counts down the remaining filter life from 100% (new) to 0% (depleted).
• Status Bar – provides an indication of your overall air quality at a glance, with an intuitive 5-colour display indicating present conditions (progressing from blue for excellent air quality to red for very poor air quality).

The Blueair HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i boast high airflow rates that translate into remarkable room coverage when compared with most other air purifier brands. This is particularly true of the top-of-the-line HealthProtect 7770i, which can provide an impressive 4 complete air exchanges per hour in an 844 sq. ft. area. Three selectable fan speed settings allow you to manually control airflow, while Auto Mode triggers step-less fan speed adjustments in response to detected pollutant levels in the room (i.e., fan speed is automatically increased until the sensors indicate that the air is clean).

Downloading the Blueair App unlocks a number of other features that are only available through the App, including remote operation of your HealthProtect air purifier, CleanAir Countdown, ChildLock and Welcome Home, which puts your unit on standby when you leave and ensures you are greeted with clean air when you return home. The HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i air purifiers are also designed to work with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant enabled devices using voice control.

Made of galvanized steel and high-impact plastic, HealthProtect Series air purifiers are designed to not only look great, but to be durable and long-lasting as well. “Nice touch” construction features include hidden trolley wheels for easy mobility and a cable winder to ensure that excess cord is kept out of sight.

To sum up, the Blueair HealthProtect 7470i and 7770i are truly the most sophisticated air purifiers on the market today, offering powerful and effective wide-spectrum air cleaning with advanced pathogen control for medium to large living spaces. A must for healthcare facilities, schools and anyone looking for the ultimate in protection for their homes.

According to the EPA,“when used properly, air purifiers can help reduce airborne contaminants including viruses in a home or confined space.³”
