Review on 🌬️ SAMSUNG Cube Smart Air Purifier: 3 Stage True HEPA Filter System, Silent & Wind-Free, Allergies, Pet Dander, Odor, Dust, 310 sqft Room Coverage, Silver by Jessica Sommers

The Samsung AX300T9080 Air Filter has added a whole host of bells and whistles to what air purifiers are supposed to do - use a fan to pull air through the filter(s). and sell his. for the environment. It works well in tight spaces but isn't a bargain, although maintenance costs may seem more reasonable than some. 3 stars. It's not clear if most other reviewers have actually used HEPA filters before, but after years of going through dust mite and cat dander vaccinations, there are basically two brands that have solid reputations in the allergy community (and your allergist will usually do this). Be ready to sign the order so you can claim it as a legitimate medical expense and pay with your HSA account): IQ Air and Blueair. Samsung seems to rate this on par with the Blueair M (which covers about the same area of 390 feet versus 420) and about 80% of the IQ Air Compact (which can cover 1,100 square feet despite turning the fan on for level 6) (thus it gets deafeningly loud.) Speaking of audio, there are three fan speeds, with the first roughly comparable to speed 1 on the IQ Air and slightly quieter than the HEPASilent on the Blueair. It would also be an exaggeration to say that these cover a lot more than 80 to 100 square feet in this mode. So for a 350 to 400 square foot room, you're going to be doing this on the third level, which is noticeable. but not too loud. You can actually stack two or three of these on top of each other to expand your coverage and run them as a unit (there's a port for that at the top), but you're probably just better off keeping them separate - run 3 of them on the third Fan levels in the same place will be pretty deafening. Otherwise it's more or less suitable as a side table, but you've been warned against using it as such. The three large bells and whistles on this one are an odd feature, with an aperture that opens them wider (which can be turned off in whisper mode), Wi-Fi connectivity, and two sensors to detect particle levels. The first seems a bit redundant and makes you wonder how long it will last. The second is somewhat useful; Although it requires the new Smartthings mobile app (instead of the classic Smartthings - it took a while to figure it out!), you can program the speed and it displays PPM values as well as outside values and you can actually tell Alexa that should they turn on and off the third? This is where it gets fun because you can do a comparison test between different devices. (Thankfully the display can be turned off in sleep mode, which the phone can't do.) To test it, I put it in a 200-square-foot carpeted room that I didn't vacuum a bit and tested it on both screens. IQAir and Blueair. On the outdoor day that Smartthings showed at around 53:10, it was 40 degrees outside. At the lowest level, Samsung regularly reached 5, but then regularly reverted to teenagers; at higher levels it remained more reliably at level 5. The PM2.5 and PM1.0 values start at around 10 and rise steadily to 5. Blueair? It's not as effective for PM10 and PM2.5 levels, but it works with ultrafine particles that fall below 5x. IQAir? Well, since my pre-filter was red for a while, that was living proof of why you need to replace it - it took my PM10 to 60! On the plus side, the PM 1 level still seemed to stay at 5, which is in fact IQAir's claim to being famous for filtering out ultrafine particles. The filter is not the new price - but the regular replacement of filters. The IQ Air is ridiculously expensive to run - the price of new filters is about 1/3 of a unit! - but Blueair and this Samsung cost about 1/10th of its cost and should theoretically work for a year. There is no visible work time tracker for Samsung Filter, but it does track it to the point where an alert appears. Ultimately, it's effective and appears to be on par with its peers, but pricey for what it does. It's nice to have a PPM monitor, but some big stores have units with similar features for 1/4 their original cost, even if replacement filters are the same price. So it's hard to recommend this as a decent value at this price point, especially given the PM1.0 levels, which are easier to achieve with filtering on the IQAir and Blueair. It's a good device, but a few stars for the value proposition leaves it at 3 stars.
