Hi everyone, just sharing my experience. I hv skin allergies and my doctor recommended me to buy an air purifier (coz I don't seem to be allergic to any food), which sent me on a journey to search online.
Apparently Alen is the best but I haven't seen it here. Blue air has great reviews too.
Now just to prepare everyone, blue air doesn't have fancy features that the Japanese company has and claims like auto detector etc.
Google search online leads you to mostly western favoured brands. Sharp and Panasonic have nice sites (but sharp is too confusing and don't clearly state the differences of the models ). All seems fancy but apparent negative ion isn't a good thing anymore and some emits ozone which is bad.

I searched the Internet for around two weeks, reading reviews etc. some ppl have special devices to measure air quality and blue air was good. Also lots of comments on their hepa silent which was silent enough to sleep peacefully. Also, filters should be HEPA standard to remove 99.9% of whatever particles which some brands won't dare say they hv hepa standards coz they don't. I even went to the ESH shop in ss2 to take a look and the sales assistant was helpful and mentioned good things about the model.

At the end, I settled for blue air. I bought the basic model (203) at RM 1599 at homedec on 1st may which came with an extra free basic filter (there are two types - basic and charcoal for odour removal). While this seems pricey, Coway and home master are not cheap too. Coway has a rental policy but for a minimum contract of 24 months (which means the price is almost the price of the unit itself! But they claim they do servicing etc).

I love my blue air! The highest lvl mode is noisy but the middle mode is ok and the lowest setting (hepa silent) is silent.

Noise: hepa silent is really silent!
Weight : I can carry it to other rooms ^^ wahahha save money. Note that their higher end models have wheels. Don't expect to clean the house house air with a smaller model la....read their specs. Also it's made of metal so more sturdy but means more heavy.
Price: seems expensive but reasonable if u compare to other brands
Warranty : 3 years
Customer service : VERY important point....why I am posting is coz of this. Sales man ok, sales ppl ok, phone customer service ok BUT phone to follow up on delivery was a rude person and my delivery was incomplete. Then being typical Malaysian, I went to their company website and complain. Within 30 minutes, their company director called me up to try and understand and resolve my issue. To me, issues and hiccups can happen, but how you resolve it is most important. Her genuine gesture and professionalism was very impressive. A+++++

Anyway, if you want blue air, you can buy from their office or they can deliver to you or you can visit ESH electrical shop too. The blue air distributor website is www.visionary.com.my

Btw, I really don't work for them ya. You can pm me to ask about my blue air. Hehe. It's really basic. So easy to change the filters too.


Last but not least, I think air purifiers are NOT vacuum cleaners. Don't expect it to vacuum all your dust. Hahaha.

After all the so-called +ve reviews, does it help solve your sickness?

Hi, not yet. Skin allergies are complicated. I do think I breathe better at night but maybe it's just psychological.
Still I'll keep on using it, must change bed sheets more often etc.

Sounds good. I am also pretty much decided on Blueair 650E.

Wow, that's nice. I wanted but it's more expensive. However the bigger models can clean bigger air space.
Hope you like it. Maybe you can share your experience here as well.

Well, can we use humidifier along with a/c?

Or humidifier and purifier actually the same thing?

Humidifier and air purifier isn't the same thing although there are brands out there that have both functions in one unit. Mine is just purely air purifier. I didn't buy a humidifier.
