The Good.

A highly capable machine, the Blueair 501 has all the Blueair 601 features, but it's designed for a smaller room.

It uses HEPASilent technology which combines HEPA filtration and electrostatic to capture airborne particles. This unit does not produce ozone.

Housed in a galvanised steel construction, the stylish Blueaire 501 has 4 fan speeds. You can choose between two filters to suit your needs - the particle & gas or smokestop (for ammonia gases and tobacco smoke removal).

It's recycleable filter is easy to change. This air purifier has a long 10 years extended warranty.


The Bad.

It's not small. Around waist height.

Blueaire 501's filter is not true HEPA but is a actually a HEPA like media

Costly filter replacement cost ( need change every 6 months ).

Not really good at removing odor.

Has no filter replacement indicator.
