However, like the Blueair Blue 3210, those noise levels do get considerably higher as you move up the fan settings. Most air purifiers have a choice of speeds so you can keep it lower for sleeping and turn it up when the pollen count is high. If you’re looking for a quiet and unfussy air purifier that will fit into smaller spaces, then the Blueair Blue 3210 is ideal.

I used the same methodology to evaluate it as with the competing purifiers, but since this device doesn't report specific measurements, I had to set up a Govee Air Quality Monitor alongside it to monitor the exact PM2. The noise level varies with the fan speed; at its highest setting, it resembles a fan's noise, but at the lowest setting, it operates quietly.

It connects to Ikea’s Tradfri smart ecosystem, so if you’ve invested in Ikea’s smart bulbs and speakers, you can hook up your purifier, check the air quality and change the current settings via an app. We’re not 100% sure about the option to add essential oils to the airflow, but the options include an H-Biotics bottle that adds probiotic “good” bacteria to the atmosphere.

If you set your air purifier to auto, then after an initial spurt of louder cleaning, then this model also works very quietly in the background, making this air purifier very easy to live with. We then run standardised tests, spraying a test aerosol inside a small room for five seconds and using an air quality meter to record particulate levels. An air purifier works by using a fan to draw air into the air purifying unit whereby it passes through a series of filters that remove particulate matter. This works as a remote control, but also allows you to schedule when to turn it on and off, plus which mode to use, and set different schedules for different days of the week.It’s designed to handle large rooms of up to 125m², and combines a pre-filter for large particles with a HEPA filter for dander, dust and smoke, plus a carbon odour filter for smells and VOCs.
