Philips Series 3000i Connected Air Purifier – Grey/White
For larger spaces up to 135 m², this air purifier handles rooms quickly—clearing 20 m² in under six minutes. Its three-layer HEPA system traps particles as tiny as 0.003 microns, including pollen, pet dander, and gases. ECARF certification backs its allergy-friendly design, targeting 99.99% of common irritants.
You’ll notice the real-time air quality feedback on the device or via the app. Adjust settings remotely, track trends, or set schedules. Sleep mode cuts noise to 15 dB, quieter than a whisper, while energy use stays low—around 55W, like a standard bulb. Filters last up to three years, though replacements cost £85.
Design-wise, it’s sleek but sizable. The grey-and-white finish fits most decors, though the fabric top might stain if placed in kitchens. Setup’s straightforward, though VPNs can interfere with app pairing initially. Some users find gas detection overly sensitive, causing fan surges during cooking or laundry. Turbo mode tackles odors fast but gets loud—better for short bursts.
Price fluctuates: currently £84.99 (down from £419). While initial costs sting, long-term savings come from durable filters and low energy use. Over 490 reviews average 4.5 stars, praising dust reduction and asthma relief. A few note it didn’t ease severe allergies, so temper expectations if sensitivities are extreme.
