 Back to Buy Another One Apr 11, 2011
By Mary Santos
After allergies triggered asthma for me, I could no longer get by with a cheap air purifier. I researched for hours before deciding on this one. I was looking for something that I could use in the bedroom to help me sleep. This fit the bill on all fronts.
Not only does it clean the air, but produces white noise which helps block out the noise of your neighbors. I will advise, it is quite loud on the medium and high settings, but produces great airflow if you have lower ceilings. You won't even need a ceiling fan with this turned on high.
Upon first use, it smelled, as is common with a new HEPA filter. This disappeared after a day. Within two days, the air was so clean, it was noticeable just by taking a deep breath. Nearly two weeks later and the room still doesn't need to be dusted. This will cut my cleaning frequency down tremendously which is a good thing for my lungs.
The most obvious sign to me that this was a good air purifier was after one week. I would leave the clean air of the bedroom and within 1 hour, I was back to coughing. As you may know, with asthma, it's generally worse while lying down. When I go to bed, I'm coughing from the days exposure to bad air, but within an hour or so, I feel better and sleep the night through. It's only after leaving the bedroom in the morning that I'm back to being sick and asthmatic. I have to give the credit to this air purifier because there is no other explanation.
It comes with a separate digital timer that you can place anywhere. It is magnetic, but I've chosen not to put it on the unit. It counts down the days to filter change and a blue light will come on when it is time to change the filter. The filter on this unit is outstanding. The filter has a gasket around it to prevent even the tiniest particles from getting around the filter during intake. Very cool. I've never owned one this nice. Plus, the unit is made of steel. No off-gassing from plastic here. It looks like it means business and it does!
I've been so impressed by this unit that I'm back for another one for my office and I will also be purchasing a big one from the 600 series to cover my open living areas. I'm purchasing my other units now, so I can buy replacement filters at the same time, every 6 mos. As I understand, the filters on these will degrade and must be changed on time, every 6 mos. If you decide to get one, be sure to get one that covers the square footage you need and keep the doors and windows closed.
One last thing: The blue light on this is incredibly BRIGHT! If you don't want your entire bedroom illuminated, you can cover it with a sticker. Choose something nice, that goes with your decor. I used a sticker from this booklet Classic Posters: 16 Art Stickers. I put a part of the sticker that is solid black right over the blue light and you can still see the light is on at night, but it's not bright enough to illuminate the room anymore.

 Not silent, but soothing sound and compact size compared to other models Mar 31, 2011
By Mediahound
Although this unit is not quite as quiet as the 400 series Blueair, the 400 series is quite a bit larger and looks like a big huge computer tower. The 200 series is a nicer size and looks more like an air purifier. The sound from the 200 series can actually be quite soothing in terms of helping you to sleep and relax. In my fairly small bedroom, both units seemed to perform equally so I opted for the 203W since it looks better, was cheaper and the filters are a bit cheaper as well.
The Blueair 203 includes an electronic filter change timer as well.
I recommend this unit for the price-the air seems a whole lot fresher and cleaner and my allergies have been alleviated.
I do wish it had one lower setting that was slightly quieter though the lowest setting is by no means loud and most people would not even notice it at all if you had it on in a room and the unit was out of sigh or something like that.

Pricey but works well Oct 09, 2011
By M. Peterson
These filters work very well and help keep the house air cleaner, even the dog likes them. She will sleep with her head by one of these air cleaners. When I change them they are remarkably diry.

Yep, it sure is quiet. Jan 27, 2012

You'd have to have the hearing of a dog to complain about being bothered by the fan on this unit. On its lowest setting, it is unbelievably quiet. The only thing that does bother me, however, is the blue light that kept me from sleeping, as it was pointed in my face. A small piece of tape solved that problem. After the first 24 hours, my room smelled fresher, and time will tell as to whether it will eliminate allergy/mold issues. A great unit for this price range, and also recommended by Consumer Reports, so that's why I bought it.
