BLUEAIR 103 HEPAQUIET - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The newest addition to the Blueair line of high-quality air purifiers – the Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet – offers good general purpose particle removal at an affordable price. Compact and virtually silent on its lower fan speed setting, the Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet air purifier is an ideal choice for desktop use, very small rooms or confined spaces. The built-in carrying handle and light weight (8 lbs) of the Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet make it easy to take with you for use in hotel rooms, at the cottage, or while staying with friends.

Using Blueair’s patented HEPAQuiet technology, the Blueair 103 air purifier is capable of capturing 99% of common airborne allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, mould spores and dust mite by-products down to 0.3 microns in size. The Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet combines mechanical filtration and electrostatic principles to achieve good general purpose air cleaning, all in a compact and visually pleasing design. As contaminated air is drawn into the Blueair 103, airborne particles are captured by the unit’s 360 degree HEPAQuiet filter. The Blueair 103’s internal ionizer than exerts a negative charge to any remaining ultra-fine particles in the air before they exit the lower portion of the unit, ensuring that they adhere effortlessly to the positively-charged filter material on their next pass through the air purifier.

While most air purifier companies use standard triclosan-coated paper or glass filter fibres in their filters, Blueair uses non-toxic polypropylene. Polypropylene is the material of choice for air purifier filters because it works without out-gassing or releasing irritating microscopic fibres into the air. In addition, the filter in the Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet is waterproof, so it naturally resists contamination from bacteria, viruses and mould.

Every Blueair air purifier, including the Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet, releases absolutely no ozone or ozone by-products into the air. In fact, independent laboratory testing confirms that the ozone concentration in the air coming out of a Blueair air purifier is actually lower than that of the incoming air.

To maintain peak air cleaning performance and ensure warranty coverage, the filter in the Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet air purifier must be replaced every year. A quick, gentle vacuum of the outside grill surrounding the filter on a monthly basis will remove any large dust particles that have accumulated and maintain good airflow in between filter changes. The filter itself can easily be replaced by unscrewing the handle of the Blueair 103, removing the top lid, pulling out the old filter, and popping in the new one. No tools required!

Unlike lesser quality air purifiers on the market, the meticulous Swedish engineering of the Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet makes this air purifier worry-free for years of reliable service. Beautifully designed, the Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet air purifier is constructed of brushed aluminum with a metal mesh filter protector. As with all Blueair air purifiers, the Blueair 103 is constructed from non-chemical off-gassing components and recyclable parts, and when discarded, the filter simply decomposes and the media converts into harmless carbon dioxide and water.

Energy Star rated and AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) certified, the Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet air purifier has two fan speed settings that use a maximum of 28 watts of power, making it the ideal choice for those concerned about the impact of running an air purifier 24/7 on their household electricity bill.

The compact, lightweight design of the Blueair 103 HEPAQuiet, combined with its ability to effectively remove common airborne particles, makes this air purifier a cost-effective choice for general purpose air cleaning in confined spaces or very small rooms (e.g., baby rooms, small offices). In addition, the portability of the Blueair 103 makes it easy to take with you when you are travelling away from home.
