FAQs

The built-in particle sensor measures fine particle (PM2.5) levels in your room and changes the color of the air quality indicator (AQI) light on the front of the air purifier based on the current conditions. The light will show one of five colors; red (very polluted), orange (slightly polluted), yellow (moderate), green (good), and blue (excellent) to indicate air quality.

The air quality LED indicator can be turned off by setting the air purifier to Night mode, or adjusting the LED brightness setting in the Blueair app.

If your air purifier is connected to the Blueair app, you can monitor your indoor PM2.5 levels over time in the reports section of the app. In the app, the concentration of PM2.5 is measured in micrograms (one-millionth of a gram) per cubic meter air or µg/m3.

Your DustMagnet™ air purifier includes one set of combination particle and carbon filters, ComboFilters, that need to be replaced approximately once a year and two reusable stainless-steel pre-filters.

ComboFilters

The ComboFilters located the top and bottom air intakes protect against both gaseous and particulate contaminates. The particle filter media removes pollutants such as pollen, mold spores, pet dander, viruses and bacteria, fine smoke particles, and more from your indoor air. At the same time, activated carbon integrated throughout the filter traps light household odors from pets, cooking, smoke, and more. Not proven to kill SARS-CoV-2 or prevent transmission of COVID-19.

Pre-filters

A key part of DustMagnet™ technology is the two reusable stainless-steel pre-filters located at the top and bottom of the air purifier. The positively charged pre-filters act like a magnet, attracting the negatively charged dust particles.

Because this air purifier uses electrical charges, it is classified as an electronic air purifier and is tested for safe ozone emissions. All Blueair purifiers are CARB certified, meaning they’ve been tested for electrical safety and ozone emissions as part of the California EPA’s Air Resources Board, Air Cleaner Regulation (AB 2276) and found to produce an ozone emission concentration less than 0.050 parts per million.

Auto mode

When Auto mode is enabled, the air purifier automatically adjusts fan speed based on your real-time indoor air pollution levels measured by the built-in particle sensor (PM2.5). When pollution levels creep up, the fan increases speed, and once the air is cleaned it returns to a low speed. This ensures your air purifier is always running at the perfect speed to maintain clean air your home.

Night mode

When Night mode is enabled, all LED lights on the air purifier will dim. Additionally, similar to Auto mode your air purifier will automatically adjust the fan speed based on real-time indoor air pollution levels (PM2.5). In Night mode, the fan speed will only increase to the medium level to keep noise levels low.

  • The HEPASilent™ technology, which combines mechanic and electrostatic filtration to ensure high Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR), low noise and high energy efficiency.
  • The patent-pending DustMagnet™ technology designed to powerfully attract airborne dust particles thanks to a unique airflow in combination with charged pre-filters.
  • Double filter for optimal particle and gas removal.
  • Two control buttons for easy use.
  • Airflow options: 4 speeds levels (0-1-2-3), Auto mode and Night mode.

DustMagnet™ air purifiers draw in dirty room air through two inlets, one at the top and another at the bottom. Once filtered by the air purifier, clean air is released on either side, at a precise angle to create a vortex effect, spreading filtered air throughout the room.

For optimal performance, use the air purifier in a room size equal to, or smaller than the recommended AHAM square footage (assumes 8 ft ceiling height). The DustMagnet™ 5200 series is recommended for rooms up to 212 square feet, and the 5400 series is recommended for rooms up to 357 square feet.

Welcome Home FAQ

Try to re-connect your air purifier to the Blueair App and re-enable the Welcome Home once the air purifier is connected

The always-on precise location access provides an estimate of the device's location that is as accurate as possible, usually within about 50 meters (160 feet) and sometimes as accurate as within 3 meters (10 feet). The service will work in dense urban areas as well.

With the use of geofencing technology, the app calculates your arrival within 15 minutes based on the selected type of transportation and your position. 

If you do not travel outside of the Welcome Home radius, then the Welcome Home feature will not be activated. The size of the radius is determined based on the selected type of transportation (walk, bike, car, etc.). ​​​​​​​
