Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Perfect for use while sleeping
During the night, you can set this air purifier to sleep mode. This sets the purifier to work only in the lowest speed setting. Additionally, the indication light is dimmed to a level that it reassembles a gentle night light.
Pro Brings fragrance to your room
A standout feature for this purifier is the aromatherapy pod. You can fill it up and, when the purifier is working, it will not only clean the air, but also mix aroma in the air, helping you sleep or concentrate.
Pro Multi-level filtering
Like most of the purifiers, this one has a HEPA filter for removing the smallest airborne particles and an activated carbon filtration system to remove odors and gases. It also has an ionizer that charges oxygen molecules, which helps to capture more dust particles in the next air pass-through.
Pro Adds vitamins to the air
Besides filtrating the air, the purifier also enriches it with Vitamin A. Aerus claims that this makes the skin softer and reduces stress.
Pro Bedroom friendly
With no LEDs or lights it's somewhat bedroom friendly.
Pro The right kind of "dumb" to be used with smart switches
Onboard smart features become obsolete pretty quick. Some appliances are better dumb when they serve a simple funciton and where longevity is more important. A smart switch is all the function that is really needed (turn the unit off and on). Can't adjust speed but typically you will just leave it on a preferred setting anyways.
Pro Handles VOCs and Odors
Most other air purifiers do not handle these (or only do so to a token/negligible amount)
Cons
Con Replacement filters are hard to find
The replacement filters aren’t as easy to find and buy as those from competitor units.
Con Can't be bought in California
Due to legal reasons, this product is currently unavailable in California.
Con "Dumb"
It has no smart features or smartphone connectivity features.
Con Expensive filter replacement
It costs $440 to replace the filter. It's supposed to last for 5 years or so, but this depends a lot on the environment. Mileage may vary.
