Electrolux Air Purifier PA91-406DG – Style & Substance

The importance of air purifiers in today’s time cannot be underestimated. If you live in a metropolitan city like Delhi or Mumbai, you know air pollution is one of the biggest problems right now which needs to be curbed. Individuals do not have any control over the air pollution outside their homes, but they sure can manage the air quality in indoor settings like their homes or offices. Thus air purifiers are rapidly becoming a necessary buy for many across the country and the globe. So, how good does the Electrolux Air Purifier PA91-406DG fair in terms of performance? Let’s find out 

Design: Cylindrical Charm

An air purifier is usually placed in the corner of people’s homes where it minds its business until it’s time to change the filters. The Electrolux Air Purifier, however, is not just any other air purifier. It comes with a design statement that makes it more than just another piece of tech lying around in your living space. It demands attention with its aesthetically pleasing design which is sure to grab some eyeballs. The cylindrical purifier has a 315mm width on a 590mm height factor coupled with a 315mm depth. Each side of the purifier features a rubber handle to carry it around with a four-wheel base designed for easy movement. The top features a spider-web design and also houses a display which consists of power on/off and mode buttons along with important information like AQI and more. It has a slim and stylish look that blends well with any decor, and its touch controls are easy to use and navigate. It also has a relatively quiet operation, even at its highest fan speed, making it suitable for use in bedrooms or living rooms. Overall, the design of the PA91-406DG is a treat to look at. 

Performance Beast 

One of the most impressive features of the PA91-406DG is its five-stage filtration system. This includes a pre-filter, a carbon filter, a HEPA filter, an ionizer, and a UV light. Each of these filters is designed to capture and eliminate different types of pollutants in the air.

The pre-filter is the first line of defence, capturing larger particles like dust and pet hair. The carbon filter then eliminates odours and harmful chemicals, such as smoke and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The HEPA filter removes even smaller particles like pollen, pet dander, and mould spores, providing clean and fresh air. The ionizer then releases negatively charged ions into the air, which attach themselves to positively charged particles, making them heavier and easier to capture in the filters. Finally, UV light kills bacteria and viruses that may be present in the air, providing added protection against airborne pathogens.

In addition, the PA91-406DG also has a smart sensor that detects the air quality in your home and adjusts the fan speed accordingly. This means that it can automatically increase or decrease its cleaning power based on the air quality in your home, providing you with a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

The PA91-406DG is also easy to use and maintain. It has a filter replacement indicator that alerts you when it’s time to replace the filters. The filters are also easy to access and replace, making it a simple process to keep your air purifier running efficiently. Furthermore, it has a child lock function, ensuring that children cannot accidentally change the settings or turn off the purifier.

Verdict

The Electrolux Air Purifier PA91-406DG is an air purifier designed for modern homes. It makes its presence felt with its design coupled with good performance without making loud noises like other air purifiers present in the market today.

Acerpure Cool C2 2-in-1 Air Circulator and Purifier Review

We’re living in the ‘Smart’ age. We have smartphones to experience the world behind a screen, smart watches to track our health, and even smart refrigerators to track all the details of the food stored inside them. So, it is only natural that our air circulation system also becomes smart. How long do we rely on ceiling fans which just move around in a similar fashion known for decades, why not move on to something smarter? That’s where the Acerpure Cool C2 2-in-1 Air Circulator and Purifier jumps in!

I was genuinely surprised when I saw Acer’s smart air purifier and circulator. My first ever laptop as a school student was an Acer hence I have always associated the brand with laptops and monitors. However, having a quick look at the company’s website cleared all assumptions. So how good is Acer’s 2-in-1 air purifier? I’d say it’s solid!

Design 

Besides its air purification prowess, the C2 comes with a sleek and modern design. In my opinion, it is a futuristic design that can easily compare to sci-fi characters. I call it Wall-E! Or even R2-D2 at times. The design is surely aesthetic as it comes in white color and has a cylindrical form factor. The compact design places its filters at the side and bottom and the air calculator is placed on the top which looks like the head of a robot. Taking its compact design into consideration, the C2 surely has enough power to circulate air throughout a small room. 

LCD display & Remote

C2’s LCD display and remote definitely deserve a segment in the review for its functionality options. The mini display showcases a number of details like PM2.5, GAS, smart mode, lock mode, Turbo, or Wi-Fi. However, the most important information over here is the dust and gas status. To the unversed, PM2.5 are tiny particles in air pollutants. The display comes equipped with a Gas Status which can indicate the level of volatile organic compounds. The status is indicated in three different colors green, yellow, and red (good, moderate, poor). All the modes on the air purifier/circulator can be accessed on the device itself but we also have a compact remote here. The small remote can be used to adjust the settings of the C2 and can be conveniently placed behind the device as it is also magnetic. 

Performance

There is a difference between an electric fan and an air calculator. While the C2 comes with capabilities to circulate the air through the side and up/down movements, it is not enough to cover up a big room. Users can control the direction of the airflow with 90 degrees up and down swings and 80 degrees left to right. However, in my usage I kept the air circulator fixed at one angle as it proved to be more efficient that way. The company claims that it can circulate clean air up to 12 meters and that surely is true for its turbo mode. One thing to note here is that with turbo mode usage, the C2 becomes considerably loud, which is the opposite of its advertised quiet circulation. 

Verdict

At a price of Rs 12,990, the C2 should be on your list if you’re in the market for a good air purifier. I mention an air purifier and not an air circulator or a fan cause the device is not up to the mark in that arena. Sure it has a distant airflow that can circulate around the room but it is only applicable to people living in colder places. People living in warm places cannot simply rely on the C2’s air circulation capabilities.
