With Chinese New Year approaching, the excitement of reuniting with family sets the mood as we embark on our journeys home with loved ones. However, we shouldn’t forget about the quality of air around us, especially within a confined space such as in a car.
Perfect for your journey home, the Blueair Cabin P1 and Blue Pure Mini Max ensure you breathe healthily throughout this Chinese New Year. Clean air should be a basic human right, enjoyed by everyone, anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, that’s not really the case, with air pollution being a major issue, especially in congested cities.
Power generation and usage, transportation and industrialisation have all had a dramatic negative effect on air quality, to the detriment of our health. Studies have shown that air pollution causes millions of deaths every year due to stroke, heat attack, diabetes, lung cancer and chronic lung disease. Look at this statistic alone and you’ll realise how much of a good investment air purifiers are.
But not all air purifiers are created equal. Generally, the industry recommends a purifier that can perform around five air changes per hour (ACH), while the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) – which measures the volume of filtered air an air purifier delivers through its clean air delivery rate (CADR) standard – recommends a smoke CADR equal to or greater than two-thirds the size of the space.
That’s why it’s imperative to get the right air purifier no matter the usage, and you can’t go wrong with one of the leaders in the space, Blueair. The Swedish firm has a history of innovation stretching nearly 30 years – that’s when it developed its HEPASilent dual filtration technology soon after being inaugurated in 1996, delivering maximum filtration with minimum noise.
Today, Blueair air purifiers pair excellent performance with a functional and stylish minimalist design. Whether you go for value for money with the Blue lineup or maximum protection with the flagship HealthProtect purifiers, there’s a Blueair product for every need.
It’s all well and good to have clean air at home, but what about when you’re on the move? In-car cabin filters, as good as they are, aren’t able to totally keep out air pollution, and as everyone knows, during festive seasons it can get congested on the road, meaning that you will be surrounded by exhaust fumes. When you’re travelling home for Chinese New Year, your focus should be on enjoying the company of your loved ones that are in the car with you, not worrying about air quality.
Fortunately, Blueair makes air purifiers for the car too with its Cabin range. The Blueair Cabin P1 is tiny, weighs just 1.4 kg and can be mounted out of sight behind the front headrests. But don’t be fooled by its size – it still packs a punch, performing 4.8 ACH and having a smoke CADR of 32 m3 per hour.
As such, the Blueair Cabin P1 is able to fully purify the air in your car in less than six minutes, and since fresh air keeps you more energised and alert, it will make you drive more safely, too. But it’s also quiet – thanks to the HEPASilent technology, noise is kept to a whisper-low 35 dB, and even in its highest setting it only rises to 55 dB, or about as loud as rainfall.
And the clean air doesn’t stop when you get home. The Blueair Blue Pure Mini Max is an AHAM Verifide air purifier that’s small enough to bring with you – with a height of less than 30 cm, it can be set up on a desk. It too is able to perform 4.8 ACH and has a smoke CADR of 60 cubic feet per minute (cfm), making it suitable for spaces up to 90 sq ft.
There, the Blueair Blue Pure Mini Max is able to clean the air in just 12.5 minutes, removing pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, dust, and odors. It also has a pleasingly minimalist cylindrical design, available with a variety of washable pre-filter colours that are designed to seamlessly blend into your space.
The Blueair Cabin P1 and Blue Pure Mini Max are available as a bundle, making sure that you breathe clean air throughout the Chinese New Year and beyond. You can also get the Blueair Blue Mini Max for only RM1 when you purchase the Classic 690i. For more information, visit the official Blueair website. You can also purchase Blueair air purifiers at Harvey Norman, ESH, TBM and HomePro outlets.
