Help Bluetooth air purifiers v/s Normal air purifiers

[legendkiller]

I am scouting for air purifiers to get rid of my birch pollen allergy and asthma which is making life difficult . I was planning on buying this particular air purifier from Clair http://go-clair.com/ but then I figured out there are few android compatible ones in the market manufactured by Honeywell http://www.honeywellcleanair.com/air-purifiers/bluetooth/

As usual in a dilemma .. Both are under $200 . If you don't mind can you help me make the choice ?

I suppose they all work in similar ways, use the same sort of pollen and fine particle filtering. I'd go for the BT one, more interesting and probably convenient remotely controlling it with your phone or tablet.

I saw the app, already confused by many buttons and functions. It looks cool, but I mean, are we really using it? If you use air purifier while sleeping, does it mean you have to turn bluetooth on?

On the other hand, Clair air purifier has only one button to turn on/off and set modes. And as I read its information, the power consumption is so low (around 3-6W hourly), that I think I don't even bother to turn it off.

Hmm.. at first look even I found the bluetooth air purifier interesting but after a bit of online research it appears to be just very fancy and comes with too many filters which is a hassle to maintain and its more or less like any HEPA air purifier only difference being the mobile app .

I am leaning towards the Clair air purifier TD1866 model at the moment since technology wise it seems to be more superior that the Honeywell purifier and other HEPA variants in the market .

At the moment even I feel Clair air purifier looks more user friendly and easier to maintain in the long run since the filter replacement isn't a major hassle and the power consumption seems to be so low making it more economical in the long run ..

...since this thread is six years old (plus one day, or two if you want to include leap year), they probably already bought the air filter.

If the OP is still around, it would be interesting to see which one they bought and how much filters have cost them throughout the intervening years...

I have a 5G air purifier, and my home is 100% covid free.
