What to know about Blueair Blue Pure 211i Max

A high-CADR (435 smoke) Quiet Mark-certified purifier for large bedrooms. RTINGS comparison data (search snippet; paywalled) gives 33.9 dBA at the lowest speed and 58.7 dBA at max. Night mode runs the lowest speed with lights fully dimmed (Sylvane).
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

The 435 cfm smoke CADR, rated for 674 sq ft, leaves headroom for a large bedroom at low speed. Night mode runs the lowest fan speed with lights fully dimmed.

It costs roughly $90 less than the SP4i. RTINGS comparison data gives about 33.9 dBA on low. Retailers state it is CARB-certified and Zero Ozone Verified.

What to know

Skip it for a small bedroom, where it is oversized. Independent noise data is thin: the 33.9 dBA and 58.7 dBA max figures come from RTINGS comparison data and HouseFresh has not tested it.
