Blueair 400 series

Blueair 400 series air purifiers are WI-FI enabled and are available in two models. The 480i models have built-in sensors for PM2.5, VOC, temperature/humidity, and the 405 models with no built-in sensors.

Adjustments to the air purifiers can be made manually anywhere and at any time, either via the touch buttons on the control panel located under the flip-up lid, or remotely via the Blueair Friend™ mobile app.

The air purifier can also be automatically regulated based on the air quality readings from the built-in sensors (480i), or the optional external air quality monitor Blucair Aware™ (405)

For more information on how to use your air purifier together with the Blueair Aware air quality monitor, please see the Blueair Aware owner's manual and the support information.

* Specifications based on U.S. models (120 VAC, 60 Hz with particle filter)

The CADR indicates how much filtered air is delivered (airflow) by the air purifier operating at the highest setting, and how well the system removes tobacco smoke, dust and pollen pollutants from the air (efficiency). Tests are performed in accordance with ANSI/AHAM AC-1. The maximum possible CADR ratings according to this standard are: Tobacco Smoke: 450 cim. / Dust: 400 cim. / Polley: 450 cim.

Air changes per hour are calculated on the recommended room size, assuming 8-foot (2.4 m) ceilings. For smaller rooms, the air changes per hour will increase.

The available electrical power voltage and frequency affects the power consumption of the unit. The power consumption might therefore be different from the slated value.
