The best made better! The 601 cleans more air, more efficiently. In rooms as large as 679 square feet, our patented two-stage HEPASilent™ technology captures 99.97% of 0.1 micron particles, including allergy-provoking pollen grains, dust mites, mold spores and pet dander particles. Blueair is the system for people living with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions, or for anyone who wants cleaner, more breathable air. Advances in fan and filter design have dramatically improved efficiency, gaining the new 601 even better Clean Air Delivery Rates than the original Best of Class 501.
Value-added features include quiet operation, low energy use, steel construction and easy maintenance: simply open the unit's lid, lift out used filters and drop in Replacement Kit every 6 months.

Actually better to do your research before investing!!!!
I have done extensive research on indoor air purifier and the thing is, you do not want the one that is 1) heavy and ugly 2) Nosy 3) expensive to run it 4) expensive to maintain 5) Does not function as well for the money. I came up with THE BEST air purifier there is on the market AIR SOURCE 3000 by Shaklee. One SMALL unit covers up to 3000 Sq feet, no filter to change, they look like an art, quite and energy saving, kills bacteria and virus and allegens. It get rid of odor, and DOES the job it is supposed to. I will think twice before you buy one of these ugly heavy bulky expensive appliance.

Best Purifier I Have Ever Used
I have tried many types of purifiers over the years. My allergies would always lay me out and severely impact my quality of life. After becoming disillusioned by the Honeywell HEPAs and the Orek (eegads never buy the Orek!!!!!) I started a very detailed research project.
Consistently, the BlueAir purifiers were at the top of every review and recommendation list. The only things beating them out were either attached to a house (I live in an apartment) or over $800. While the BlueAir itself is not cheap, I decided that my health was not worth saving the few hundred dollars another Honeywell would save me.
It was the best $500 I ever spent.
It runs quiet, it moves huge volumes of air and the filters are obviously doing their job. My allergies have subsided to a point where I no longer take meds!
The unit has 4 speed settings, the lowest being called "HEPASilent" which is barely audible, and the highest being much too loud to use during sleep. I find the 3rd setting to be the best performance to noise ratio. I can sleep perfectly fine at this level and I am a fairly light sleeper.
The unit can be heavy for lifting purposes, but comes on casters so you can easily wheel it around to different rooms.
If I had any gripes about this purifier, it would be the lack of a pre-filter. The unit essentially sucks air from the bottom and shoots it out the top, front, and back. Dust accumulates on the metal housing frame and must be cleaned during each filter change. Cleaning the housing can be a tad difficult unless you have a very slender vacuum hose.
The other potentially annoying thing is the fairly bright blue power light on the side. I hardly even notice it after over a year of use.
