Breville The Easy Air Connect Purifier

This is a convenient and quiet air purifier. It is a nice compact size and is great for small rooms. I was looking for a reasonably priced air purifier for my tiny room that would filter out smoke and dust/pollens, and was quiet enough to sleep with it on. This air purifier ticks all of the boxes. In relation to the noise levels specifically, the 'Low' fan speed option is very quiet; and I sleep with the air purifier on at this level frequently. It is a very soothing white noise, without any weird electrical buzz or high pitch feedback. 'Medium' speed is about the equivalent to a cheap box fan on a lower setting; and I can definitely see some people sleeping with the purifier on at this speed happily. The 'High' and 'Turbo' fan speeds are too noisy for me personally ... MoreThis is a convenient and quiet air purifier. It is a nice compact size and is great for small rooms. I was looking for a reasonably priced air purifier for my tiny room that would filter out smoke and dust/pollens, and was quiet enough to sleep with it on. This air purifier ticks all of the boxes. In relation to the noise levels specifically, the 'Low' fan speed option is very quiet; and I sleep with the air purifier on at this level frequently. It is a very soothing white noise, without any weird electrical buzz or high pitch feedback. 'Medium' speed is about the equivalent to a cheap box fan on a lower setting; and I can definitely see some people sleeping with the purifier on at this speed happily. The 'High' and 'Turbo' fan speeds are too noisy for me personally to be in the same room with it on, but can be useful to sometimes use these modes for 10-15 minutes to quickly clear any smoke in the room. Generally, I use the Low setting for most of the day, and Medium when the smoke gets bad at night. There is a 2, 4 and 8 hour timer setting on the purifier. The night mode simply turns off the lights of the device and defaults to the Low fan setting. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use Night mode on a Medium or higher fan speed. There is a 'microbe' shield setting which claims to target bacteria and viruses. I personally leave it off. This air purifier also has Wi-Fi connectivity for use with a downloadable app which allows you to control all of the settings of the purifier straight from your Android/iOS device. The app also tracks how many days before you will need to replace the filter. Overall, I am very happy with this product and would gladly recommend it.

I don't doubt that the purifier itself does a good job, but I have been unable to even reach that point... The app is terribly designed, glitchy and slow. The connectivity process to control the unit via phone / Alexa is near impossible, as the app is so poorly designed, it fails to connect to the purifier multiple times consecutively and has error codes that overlap each other, implying the process is flawed anyway. What a waste of money. Garbage product and garbage UI and build quality of the 'Easy Connect' app. Whoever worked on it should be ashamed.

Overall the unit is a bit larger than I was hoping but it's attractive and, most importantly, nice and quiet. Low fan speed is virtually inaudible even up close, in complete silence, and of all the speeds, only Turbo fan mode can be heard over the TV. Turbo mode is great for during and after cleaning, particularly dusting and vacuuming. The remote control via app is neat and handy for turning off if you're not near it when you want to turn it off and for setting the timer, but not essential unless you plan on placing it somewhere generally hard to reach. It would be most useful to be able to schedule regular on and off times but it does not have this ability. There is visibly less dust settling across the room each week in the area it's used in so presumably less ... MoreOverall the unit is a bit larger than I was hoping but it's attractive and, most importantly, nice and quiet.
