What to know about Blueair Blue Signature Large (SP4i)

A furniture-style cylinder that doubles as a side table, with high CADR (455 smoke), a laser PM2.5 sensor and app control. RTINGS' snippet calls it among the quietest units it has tested, just over 31 dBA at speed 2. HouseFresh measured 34.8 dB in sleep mode, and Tom's Guide names it best overall.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

HouseFresh measured 34.8 dB in sleep mode and 35.3 dB on S1. On S2 it moved about 229 cfm at just 40 dB, the most quiet airflow among these picks. Tom's Guide names it best overall in its air purifier roundup.

It suits a large primary bedroom where a smaller unit would have to run louder.

What to know

Skip it if you want to avoid ionizers in a closed bedroom: HouseFresh says it cannot be disabled. It is also expensive, with filters costing about $180 a year.
