1 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jul 17

Summary

  • $70 off the Blueair Blue Pure 211i Max on Amazon comes as wildfire smoke pushes air quality to poor or hazardous levels across 18 states.
  • Hazardous readings in some cities mean even brief time outdoors can trigger coughing, wheezing, and eye, throat, and lung irritation, driving demand for indoor air filtration.
  • Blueair says the purifier removes 99.97% of airborne particles and can clean 1,524 square feet in 30 minutes, with noise ranging from 23 to 53 decibels.
  • ZDNET said it rated the 20% discount a 3/5 deal and highlighted the model's real-time air-quality indicator and long-term use during recent smoke conditions in Illinois.
