Blueair Classic 280i Air Purifier in White
Product description
The Blueair Classic 280i is a timeless and reliable purifier that is both efficient and powerful, yet very quiet in operation. It has the ability to rid any domestic space, with a capacity of up to 26 m², of many common allergens and air contaminants thanks to its HEPASilent filter that captures airborne particles down to 0.1 microns in size. Bearing in mind that the majority of HEPA filters used in air purifiers only trap particles down to only 0.3 microns in size, this level of performance is very impressive. Additionally, the Blueair 280i now benefits from Bluetooth and touch integration allowing for remote control using a compatible smart device.

Top Air Quality
The main advantage of choosing the Blueair Classic 280i over the 205 is the integrated air quality sensors. These sensors track changes in air quality from the surrounding environment and display the relevant data on the unit’s display. Additionally, through the Blueair Friend app, it’s possible to receive a direct data feed to your preferred smart device.
You can also get a live reading of the air quality in the room, and providing you and the device are connected to Wi-Fi, you can then set the machine to operate at a chosen speed setting. This feature can be coupled with the timer function, which allows the unit can turn off after completing a certain amount of purification cycles and raising the quality of the air back to your desired level. One more advanced feature of the Blueair Classic 280i is it will monitor and report back information on the quality of the air outside your home, allowing you to set your unit to activate at times where pollutants peak above a certain level.
Quiet Performance
The Blueair Classic 280i can comfortably operate in a bedroom or quiet setting without the risk of being a disturbance. This is thanks to its efficient filtering and class-leading operating noise levels of 32 dB on speed setting one (which is akin to two people whispering). On top of that, it still operates at a reasonably gently 56 dB on its highest setting (which is akin to soft rainfall on a windowpane). This ensures that there can be a pollutant and particle-free environment in the air around you even whilst you rest.
Purification Capabilities
Although it may be ideal for use in bedrooms, the Blueair 280i’s relatively small size means that you can use it any space 26 m² or smaller and enjoy clean and contaminant-free air. Since it provides 5 complete air changes in the room per hour it quickly makes a noticeable impact on air quality. Additionally, when this is coupled with its HEPASilent 0.1M filtering, the Blueair 280i will work to eliminate up to 99.97% of allergens from its surrounding environment. This includes pollen, dust, smoke, traffic pollution, pet odours and airborne mould spore.
All the Control
This version of the Blueair 280i features Bluetooth integration, allowing a majority of smart devices to connect to it and act as a remote control. There are also classic touch controls positioned on the front of the device along with indicators that show when the filter needs changing as well as the PM2.5 and VOC indicators that show you the general quality of the air around you before you start the machine.
Operational Efficiency
The HEPASilent filters are rated for approximately 6 months depending on the quality of the air you are filtering. If you live in an area where there are particularly high pollution levels, then filters may need replacing more regularly. However, the Blueair 280i comes with a useful indicator to tell you exactly when the filter needs changing, which will also help you gauge how long a filter cycle lasts in your environment.
App Compatibility
Using the Blueair app can allow you to change between fan speeds and operation modes all from your phone. the app also has indepth charts displaying airquality thought the day as well as VOC levels, and CADR levels and can even tell you the filter life so you know exactly when you need to change the filter.
