Blueair ECO10 – The first Energy Star Air Purifiers
ECO10
Blueair ECO10 HEPA air cleaners from Sweden are a breakthrough in low cost of ownership while maintaining the strict air quality standards we have come to expect from Blueair. Ideal for combating allergy and asthma symptoms, the Blueair ECO10 air purifiers remove dust, pollen and other indoor pollution with minimal impact to the environment. With a slightly higher initial price, the ECO10 will typically save $190 per year just in power costs. Blueair, the innovative company that declared "clean air a human right", when it developed its super-quiet, highly efficient and effective air purifier line in 1996, is again leading the industry in the creation of a truly remarkable product with sustainability at its core. It meets the three "E's" of sustainability head-on: Ecological, Economical, Eco-friendly. However, the ECO10 does not sacrifice effectiveness in its aim for high sustainability standards. There are five air exchanges per hour with this air purifier.
Low Energy Use
Everyone is worried about the impact our life choices make on the environment. Through the use of a dramatically efficient motor, ECO10 air purifiers from Blueair use only 10 watts (approximately the power used for a night light) to move 250 cubic feet of air per minute. The Blueair ECO10 has the Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star program's highest rating - a CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) per watt ratio of 19.5. As with all Blueair products, no ozone by-products are emitted by the ECO10, thus it is entirely safe to use.
Long Lasting Blueair HEPA and Prefilter
The floor-level air intakes on either side of the Blueair ECO10 have prefilters that remove large contamination before it can clog the main filter (such as hair, and large pieces of dust and dander). The intakes are very easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner. After the air exits the fan compartment, it is moved through three ECO10 polypropylene filters which can not only be vacuumed, but are also fully recyclable. Typically the HEPA-rated ECO10 air purifier's polypropylene filters will last for a full year. The new design of the Blueair ECO10, incorporating elements that can be vacuumed, with the changeable filters further enhance the value and longevity of the air purifier.
Quiet as a Blueair
Although the Blueair ECO10 air purifier is "green" as far as its environmental impact goes, it still has the patented HEPASilent technology for which Blueair has become renowned. Because of their superior airflow design, which diffuses air through an area much larger than commensurate air purifiers, the Blueair products move air more quietly. Thus the ECO10 is a perfect office and bedroom model, where quietness is appreciated.
Built to Last for Years
Always a leader, Blueair has given the ECO10 air purifier a lifetime warranty. If the filters are changed on an annual basis or as needed, there is no reason the unit will not perform effectively for years and years. That's a lot of savings in the cost of electrical power and in carbon emissions, compared to other air purifiers. For the person making careful choices about his or her impact on the environment, but still in need of very clean air, the ECO10 is a wise long-term choice.

Guide for Using the ECO10
This flagship product in Blueair's line of eco-friendly products is designed for a small to medium size room of 300 square feet. That would be a room about 15 feet x 20 feet in size. It has a CFM of 250 which means the unit's airflow system puts 250 cubic feet of clean air into the room every minute. The ECO10 has polypropylene Particle Filters which are ideal for asthma and allergy sufferers, but it does not have activated carbon for chemicals and odors. People with chemical sensitivity would be better served by a Blueair 503 or 603 which have activated carbon as well as HEPA. The ECO10 will do an excellent job capturing the tiniest of airborne particles, extremely quietly and efficiently. It's the perfect air purifier for a home office where quiet and cost savings are high priorities. Although the initial cost of the ECO10 may seem unusually high, discerning buyers who are economically savvy will see the long term savings and will like supporting a leading edge company such as Blueair. ClearFlite is very excited about carrying this innovative product.
