Hoover H-PURIFIER 300 HHP30C011 100 m² White

Product Information

PM stands for Particulate Matter but can also be known as particle pollution. It consists of tiny particles such as soot, dust, dirt, or smoke which are large enough to be seen by the naked eye, but some are so small they can only be seen by an electronic microscope. PM10 measures particles that are 10 micrometers or smaller and PM 2.5 are particles 2.5 micrometers or smaller. When triggered the alert sounds the (very loud!) alarm and the air purifier flashes red (instead of the usual green shown in the video). 4. The App While pollen, dust mites and bacteria can all be handled as a given, the active carbon filter promises to filter out more pollutants, such as cigarette smoke, fumes and odours. Depending on who you live with the latter pair might be more useful than you think. We found the Hoover H-Purifier 500 was more than capable of taking on the foul air produced by a Sunday roast-sized portion of Brussels Sprouts, so it’s essentially game for anything. Butwhere should you place the air purifierto boost this appliance’s performance? There are certain rules to follow to enjoy this device to the fullest, and always ensure an excellent air, away from dirt and pollution. Air purifier at home: where should you place it?

You can also switch to Max mode for a powerful boost. This is a really useful function when allergy symptoms are bad and you need to create a neutral environment fast. We also use it in our kitchen diner to deal with cooking smells; it came in very handy when we had a major burnt toast incident! Sleep Mode The HEPA 13 filter features a unique and tested treatment to inhibit pollen once captured by the filter and inactivate them, ensuring high protection for allergy sufferers and allowing them to manage the filter in complete safety. Set the Sleep Mode to start silent but high air cleaning purification up to 8 times a night: you will never be disturbed while sleeping and you will always breathe clean air both day and night.

Sick of sniffling, sneezing and feeling low in your home? Find relief from your allergies with our pick of the best air purifiers

It’s really designed for small spaces of around 10m², but we found its performance better than the 80m³/h CADR might imply. Spraying antiperspirant into a small room with the purifier at maximum speed, the Clean Air Compact brought PM2.5 particulates down to safe levels within three minutes and six seconds. At that speed it’s fairly noisy, with sound levels reaching around 48dBA, but in general use the lowest setting will be fine, and this takes the noise levels down to 36.2dBA, where the sound is noticeable but hardly aggravating. Levoit’s Core 300S is an elegant, compact purifier with all the latest features. Like the Princess Smart Air Purifier, it’s Wi-Fi and app enabled, hooking up to the third-party VeSync app for remote control, air quality monitoring, and scheduling operation. You can set it to turn on and off at specific times, set the mode and power settings, even set whether the display should turn on or stay off. If you’d rather go completely hands-free altogether, you can also control the Core 300S through Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands. If the pollen allergy lamp on the control panel is white, there is no pollen allergy risk outdoors. If it turns yellow this means the app has detected a pollen risk and is adjusting performance accordingly. Suitability - The Hoover 300 Air Purifier is suitable for indoor use, including in kitchens, utility rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, pet rooms, home offices, studios, etc. It's perfect for allergy sufferers, people who are sensitive to poor air quality, homes with pets, etc.

Some purifiers have a built-in timer. This can be really useful if you want your machine to come on a few hours before you get home, or if you want to turn it off automatically at night. What about a carry handle? These are handy if you need to move it from room to room. Wheels, a compact design and a low weight won’t go amiss here, either. I know from personal experience just how miserable an airborne allergy can make you feel. I suffer from a pretty bad grass pollen allergy, and spend most of the warmer months fighting off a streaming nose, itchy eyes and endless sneezing. As well as being a general pain to deal with, my allergy can make it hard to sleep and affect my ability to concentrate. Another great feature of this device is the carbon monoxide sensor and alert system. If like us you have log burning stove then this is a very handy addition to have. It will automatically sense deadly carbon monoxide in the air and warn you if there are unsafe levels. This will also apply to open fires and gas boilers that might be leaking. This is a life saver and every home with one of these appliances should have a carbon monoxide detector. Cooking smells Promoting good air quality in your home can make a big difference to your health. You should also look into the humidity of your home. High humidity brings moisture into the home which in turn can increase mould growth. Mould spores can then escape into the air and cause all kinds of problems. The Hoover H-Purifier 300This is one of those rare dual-function appliances that’s effective at both, and if the only downside is that it’s a bit weird looking, then that’s not exactly hard to live with. Throw in smart features, a good remote, and fairly frugal power consumption, and it’s a great addition to your living room or bedroom. After running for about 20 minutes the H-Purifier reached green. (Excellent air quality) This was pretty good for a 37 square meter room. This was in the open plan kitchen, diner and snug area of our home. I wanted to see what happened when I started cooking. Whilst the air purifier was on green, I started cooking. The air purifier was located in the snug area, some 7 meters away from the kitchen hob. About 3 minutes after I started cooking the H-Purifier 300 automatically started up again. It could sense the change in air quality easily from this distance. Another aspect we were keen to try out is the air quality of our kitchen / dining area. We currently have a shared space with our kitchen, dining and a snug area. The snug is a great place to sit and relax after our evening meal but the trouble is that it’s a shared space, so cooking smells easily spread in this area. Part of this review will take a look at how effective the Hoover H-Purifier 300 can clean the air in and around the kitchen. The best air purifiers for mid-sized rooms 1. Sharp UA-HD50U-L: Best purifier and humidifier for mid-sized rooms

Air purifiers use different kinds of filters to do their job – usually, a large, washable, reusable pre-filter to collect bigger particles, plus a finer filter, which is usually a disposable high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. The length of time this lasts varies, but on average expect it to need replacing every six months (or fewer if you use the machine less). It’s the HEPA filter that catches all the tiny airborne nasties, and these are capable of catching particles as small as 0.3 microns, which is more than three times smaller than a cigarette smoke particle. Filter replacement indicators aren’t crucial and not all air purifiers have them, but this is a helpful feature as a clogged air cleaner won’t work properly. When you turn the H-Purifier 300 on, it analyses the air quality and lights up the LED ring on the control panel. Green indicates good air quality, yellow is moderate, orange is poor and red is bad. The unit then enters Auto mode and starts purifying the air. Auto Mode & Max Mode Air purifiers are electronic devices that clean the air by removing particles and neutralise them. They draw in large volumes of the surrounding air and filter out pollutants, allergens and potential toxins. Particles may include dust, smoke, pollen, pet dander, or anything else that might be in the air. They are a great investment for people who suffer from allergies and other respiratory problems. They can help reduce the amount of allergens in the air which can lead to less sneezing, coughing, irritation and wheezing. The best air purifiers for larger rooms 1. Hoover H-Purifier 500: Best quiet purifier for larger roomsWe’ll certainly continue to use it on a daily basis; it’s a really useful tool for managing our allergies all year round. H-TRIFILTER is the exclusive Hoover system of filtration, with the combined action of 3 different layers, with a specific function for each layer, to ensure protection from all the indoor pollutants up to 0.1 microns. The Outer Layer works as a primary filter, intercepting the largest particles such as human or pet hair and dust. The HEPA (H13) filter traps invisible micro particles such as PM 10 and PM2.5, removing 99.97% of allergens up to 0.3 microns, such as pollen, dust mites and bacteria. The Active Carbon filter absorbs gaseous pollutants (VOC, NO2), fumes, cigarette smoke, odors. Do you suffer from air born pollen, toxins or other allergies? If yes, then this device could be ideal for you. You may also live in a city centre or near busy roads where air pollution is high. In these cases you could certainly benefit from an air purifier. Some people go as far as installing a whole house HVAC with air filtration systems but these can cost thousands of pounds. These kind of systems might be suitable for those with sever allergies but for everyone else the Hoover H-Purifier 300 can manage large areas of the home and are portable enough to move around as required. Final thoughts

It’s just as good as an air purifier too, though its CADR rating is slightly below that of the purifier-only Pro P2. In tests, it took PM2.5 levels from a maximum 411 micrograms per square metre to 25 in 135 seconds, bringing it down to double figures in just over a minute. Again like the Pro P2, it’s quiet, with the noise barely noticeable at the lowest speed in purifier mode. Left on Smart mode, with the front-facing display turned off, all but the lightest sleepers should be able to sleep through.So based on my entirely unscientific research I would say it seems to work very well at removing allergens from the air.
