Swedish air purification expert Blueair has launched HealthProtect, its most advanced air purifier ever. Combining three new revolutionary technologies, the purifier provides protection against viruses and bacteria, even when it is on standby. HealthProtect has been proven - in independent third-party laboratory tests - to remove 99.99% of live airborne SARS-CoV-2 virus – making it the first product from a major air purifier brand to demonstrate the results. The germ-fighting machine does plenty more, including pushing clean air through the SpiralAir™ outlets that are uniquely engineered to deliver 360 degrees, omni-directional airflow to quickly circulate more clean air to every corner of the room. Additionally, it offers whisper-silent clean air for a good night’s sleep, and smart features through the app like Clean air ETA (estimated time of arrival), Automode and real-time pollutant tracking of fine particles (PM1 -2.5) such as smoke, bacteria and viruses plus coarse particles (PM10) such as dust, pollen and spores, to help you understand how household activities and cleaning product choices are impacting air quality. HealthProtect is easily voice-controlled by Amazon Alexa and Google Home, or remotely via the Blueair app. Available in two sizes: 38m2 and 62m2. From AED 2,649 at major retailers including Amazon.ae and Niahome.ae.
