Pros & Cons
Pros
Not bad on its lowest setting, but noisier than most when on full power.
The unit has a very large hepa filter in the base, and a very powerful fan to pull air through the filter. This however can be changed manually or via the remote. The trick is to use some sticky back velcro on the main unit & the rc.
This clears the air very quickly & after a few minutes i switch to the auto setting which maintains a clean atmosphere with a lower filtration rate. It clears particulates (e. G. Smoke seeping in from neighbour's woodburner) it also reduces dust c... Read More
The vax unit is a must for allergy sufferers. For someone that has sinus issues i wake up being able to breath well, no stuffy ness.
Cons
Out of amazon return period so having problems even returning something under manufacturer guarantee. Disappointing that a replacement filter costs £50!
High pitched running noise with a constantly varying pitch means you either end up switching the unit off, or switching it back to standard. Night mode is rubbish, it is almost silent doing nothing.
Highlights
Quality
All in all, a very solid well made appliance that i would highly recommend, especially to allergy sufferers & anyone with breat... Read More
It works incredibly well, the automatic adjustment to meet the air quality is great and really helps the place feeling fresh.
I moved into a new build and soon started developing a stabbing pain in my lungs and waking up with water retention in my face and hands.
It is very quiet during normal operation, and it can get even quieter in night mode where the light also is barely noticeable.
Price
So all in all i would recommend this model if you want a reasonably priced unit which actually works.
Its quiet and the filter normally lasts me around 4-5 months, i just order the filters from vax, the only gripe i have with thi... Read More
Vax is cheaper from vax direct comes with free 2 year warranty and free spare filter worth £50.
The negatives beyond price has to be size!
Shipping
Bought this from vax rather than amazon as vax had a free filter offer & free next day delivery.
Packaging/appearance
This bad boy is packing some timber!
It came in its original box but sadly it was minus the remote control and user manual.
Competitiveness
I had tried other brands due to the cost of this air purifier but none helped at all.
If you have asthma or dry skin there’s other alternatives then buying something that's gonna set you back more than £200 but if... Read More
Vax really should fix this as their main competitor (e.
I have both the 300 and the smaller 200 model (one for the bedroom and one for the living room).

Spent months researching air purifiers and tbh it wasn’t easy finding unbiased advice or reviews in the end i became so frustrated i chose the vax purely because they are a household name and reliable
