Overview

The Blueair Classic 605 Air Purifier is a 2016, high-end, flagship model from Blueair’s 600 Series best fit for large rooms because of its high Clean Air Delivery Rate.

It relies on HEPAsilent technology to filter out up to 99.7% of airborne allergens, making it a worthwhile purchase for allergy-prone individuals.

Since it is Wi-Fi enabled, users won’t even have to walk over to it for adjustments, as they’ll be able to operate it through voice control or the Blueair app on their smartphone.

Buyers will appreciate this convenience, as well as its whisper-quiet operation. The air purifier also boasts an energy star rating so that users won’t spend too much on its annual power consumption costs.

Make sure you get to the end of this Blueair Classic 605 review to see if it deserves a spot on our highest-ranked air purifiers list.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

Expert testers lauded the Blueair Classic 605 for its low noise levels, manageable power consumption costs, 5-year limited warranty, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

They felt that the air purifier would be great for medium to large rooms, though because of its large size and weight, they did note that it might be difficult for a single person to move around.

They also agreed that the high cost of filter replacements might be expensive for some and that the need to purchase an additional dual protection filter for odor elimination might dissuade others.
