Pluses:

• Unbelievable energy efficiency – using only 10 watts max, it requires less energy than most energy efficient light bulbs and 95% less than comparable air cleaners.
• It stands way above the competition for energy savings, rating 10 times more efficient than the minimum performance requirements of the EPA for energy star rating.
• The ECO10 tested at 99.99% for particulate removal by our testing team which is a first class result. The improved design also meant it tested better than the other models in the Blueair line. Another justification for its higher price point.
• Amazing lifetime warranty ensures quality and performance.
• Very quiet on both speeds - perfect for continuous use, day and night.
• Eco-friendly - Blueair products offer exceptional performance without polluting the environment. Blueair replaces standard triclosan-coated paper or glass filter fibers, which can harm the environment when released into the waste stream, with safer, nontoxic polypropylene. This revolutionary filter media is one of the least harmful plastics, producing only carbon dioxide and water as it decomposes. Because polypropylene is waterproof, our filters naturally resist contamination from bacteria, viruses and mold, without chemical additives or washes. Blueair even uses a special powder coat finish that produces no chemical out-gassing.

Minuses:

• Higher priced than comparable models, but it will save you money in the long run on electricity bills.
• Designed for particulate control only – does not have a carbon filter.
• Does not cover that large of an area because it uses a less powerful fan than the other Blueair models.

Summary:

Though initially a bit pricy, the cost saving benefits of the ECO10’s energy saving design will quickly make up the difference. A true breakthrough in air purifiers, we are amazed by every aspect of this unit and would recommend it for everyone looking to conserve energy and help save the planet. And let's not forget in our enthusiasm for this machine’s eco-friendly properties that it does a first class job at removing allergens.
