  I thought this would work wonders but it wasn’t that great honestly. Just didn’t get as much dust as I was expecting it would

  Noisy and ineffective
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 July 2021
  This thing collects less dust than my PC, but is way louder... Absolutely not worth the price even when on sale

As an asthmatic still suffering the effects of long Covid, this is making a huge difference for me already. I’d always assumed the air purifiers were a similar size unless you were talking the very expensive room ones so I’d skipped past this in the past and bought some basic ones to have in the rooms I used most. They do help us but this is in another league! My other purifiers are all desktop size and this can be used on the floor and it covers a much bigger area - 14 metres cubed. It’s a triple filtration - pre filter, HEPA and carbon which can be cleaned. You can’t wash it but you can brush or vacuum the filter which will prolong it’s life. My other purifiers the filters have to be replaced every 6 months and we normally have to do them at 5 months. There’s 3 settings for filtration - sleep, mid and high. The sleep setting is silent (at least we can’t hear it!), the mid is OK in the background but the high is distracting when watching TV. I tend to use high in the rooms when we aren’t using it or turn it down once I find it too distracting. The night light cycles through the colours or you can select one you want to keep. I don’t really use it because it turns off in sleep mode automatically. It’s a feature I really appreciate as I can’t turn off the operating light on my other air purifiers and one is next to my bed. There’s 2, 4 and 8 hour timers or you can leave it on. I’ve been leaving it on sleep during the night in my bedroom as I’d been using my salbutamol more again with hayfever kicking in. A few days of this running in the bedroom and I’ve not needed my inhaler in the house. The air just feels cleaner too.The best part with this purifier is we can take it into other rooms and leave it on a timer then move it back to my bedroom at night. It’s meant my son, also an allergic asthmatic is noticing the difference too. My husband developed low oxygen saturation levels after Covid so he really noticed the difference using this in the living room over the weekend. I always think HEPA filtration is most effective for allergic asthmatics and as we all have dust, mite and pollen allergies we do feel the benefit of owning a Shark and small HEPA filter purifiers as well as diffusers.Until I had Covid my asthma was well controlled but I developed post Covid breathing disorder and needed steroids and multiple courses of antibiotics. I bought my first air purifier just before I was put on steroids and it made a big difference at the time. I added more around the home more because it was soon apparent the air quality in my bedroom was much better. So any type of purifier helps but if you can afford one like this it’s worth every penny for an allergic asthmatic, in my opinion. So glad we have this now!

  Effective small fan
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2021
  This fan looks much better than the rectangular monstrosities I've had before. It's a discreet black cylinder with minimal branding and small footprint. Attached is a pic next to my cat for scale.Like many in recent times, I've been working from home, and I liked the idea of improving air quality in my livingroom/office. Since air quality is pretty variable depending the level of traffic, weather, and amount of pollen, it's probably too soon to say definitively whether the fan will suit all seasons, but so far I feel there's been an improvement. I usually start sneezing around this time as the trees release their blossoms and my symptoms seem to be less severe this year - so far.The fan certainly moves a good amount of air for its size. At medium setting it has a noticeable but inoffensive whoosh - it definitely blends into general background noise. It's probably a bit too loud to have on while sleeping at that setting, however. The high setting is definitely noisy and is probably most useful when want to clear out the smell of burnt food or malevolent flatulence as a matter of urgency.My only grievance with the purifier is that the sleep setting on my unit is unusable due to a faint chirping sound. This isn't audible on the higher settings, so I'm not sure if it's a manufacturing issue with the bearing.It's a pity, since the night light setting and timer make it ideal to leave on when going to bed, and the purifier is otherwise effective and well designed.

  Didn’t know i needed it!!
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 May 2021
  At the time of this review this air purifier is £76.49. I really didn’t know how much by body needed this until I’d had it set up in my bedroom for 2 weeks. So I’ve always had really good skin but recently I’ve been suffering from allergic type reactions on my face. Ive tried most things and nothing seemed to help. I set this up when i got it and didn’t think much more about it. It had been 2 weeks and my skin was starting to clear when i had given up on topic treatments so this is the only thing that I’d been using. It makes the air clearer and gets rid of allergens. At the minute its even better because of the pandemic so its good to know it gets rid of bacteria out the air but even without the pandemic it’s clearing the air so good I’m actually a little disappointed I didn’t think of this first before spending a fortune on skin treatments. Now it is much bigger / taller than i expected but once you find a decent place for it to go you can just forget about it. It has 3 power setting including one night time (which is much quieter!) also a 2/4/8hr timer and a light option. I have been using 4 hours when i go to bed on the night function.I would 100% recommend this to anyone!!

  Big and loud
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2021
  When the product arrived, I was surprised how big it is as I did not expect it to be so “massive”.As every other Russel Hobbs product, this one as well is of high quality make and can be simply felt it is durable and long lasting.Clear instruction of how to operate it and in under 10 minutes it was already on and working.It has touch operation buttons, and it comes with quite long power adaptor cable. Low level setting is tolerable when mentioning the noise, but high-level setting is already louder and cannot really work next to people having a conversation. Timer mode is good and works well.As big as it is I can see it catches all dust and small particles inside the filter in the air and I must mention that it does not eliminate bad smell, so do not expect that from this device. I had incense burning and turned the purifier straight after to try if it would eliminate bad smell and unfortunately it did not.Other than that I did not find any malfunctions of the device and If you’re looking for fresher air I would recommend this!

  Easy to put together and use
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2021
  Only time will tell as to whether this will be effective for my nephew as he suffers from asthma.This is easy to put together and will go nicely in the room. It was bigger than expected but the fan is strong so purifies the air, you can feel a difference. It’s light weight too so easy to move around.The night light is a nice touch, it’s quite bright and lights his room adequately. It’s good that it has a timer function too. It is expensive for what it is and don’t forget you will have to factor in purchasing new filters eventually as these are not reuseable.For the price alone 4/5. Otherwise looks good and seems to work.Let me know if this review was helpful.

  Simple but effective?
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2021
  I'm not going to argue with the science - if this says it filters 99.5% of particles that trouble allergy sufferers like myself, then this is exactly what I need. At the moment however after using this for a couple of weeks, it's difficult to see whether it has helped my allergic rhinitis. Perhaps it won't solve all the problem pollen, dust, cat dander particles circulating, but if it even reduces it and plays a part in other anti-allergenic measures, I'm happy to continue using the Russell Hobbs air filter.The good points about this are that it's a capable size and easy to use. Insert the filter, plug it in, switch on and it's working. You can adjust the three fan speeds and set three timing settings, and there's a coloured nightlight feature that you can let rotate through or select one. All simple enough. Perhaps too simple? Essentially, it's just a fan that passes the air through a filter first and blows out cool air that will air-condition the room. It's also a good size, but still light and portable, which means that you can lift and move it from room to room to freshen air wherever you happen to be.Simple but effective? The jury is still out for me. I've checked the filter and after a couple of weeks it still looks clean and new and no sign of it having picked up any troublesome dust or other particles. Which is good in a way because I haven't yet found out where you can buy any new filters or how much they cost. Perhaps it's still a new model and replacement filters aren't available just yet.Still, if it helps keep air free from the worst of troublesome particles - even just a little - this would be invaluable to me and I'll certainly keep using it.
