Moreover, the unit has an Autostart feature. This means that the unit will automatically restart at the set speed if a power failure occurs, the unit is unplugged, or a power switch timer is used.

Button Control Functions (Filters)

The control button also provides filter status indications:

1. Change filter indicator (Yellow): When the indicator turns yellow (after 5 months of operation), it's time to order a new filter.

You can change the filter before the indicator light turns red, i.e., when it first turns yellow. In this case, just reset the unit after changing the filter and use for another 6 months. (See "Change the main filter" section for details).

Specifications

¹Certified ratings as stated are based on U.S. version models (120VAC, 60Hz) with Blue Particle Filter. Ratings may be affected by use of other Blue filter models.

²Air 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.

³Depending on air quality in the area of use, the recommended six-month filter lifetime may be longer.

⁴The available electrical power voltage and frequency affects the power consumption of the unit. The power consumption might therefore be different from the stated value.

Blueair Blue PURE 211+ air purifier units are available in different colors, with the colored fabric functioning as a pre-filter.
