Superior PurificationWith cutting edge sensing and purification technology, the Philips Connected Philips Connected Air Purifier Series 1000i provides you with elite sensing and purification technology. The 1000i reduces allergens, odours, VOCs and bacteria. The pre-filter and the True HEPA filter remove the bacteria and particles, whilst the active carbon filter reduces gases and odours. | Optimal FiltrationThe multi-stage filtration system, captures up to 99.97% of particles that pass through the filter. These particles can be as small as 0.3 microns – the size of most common airborne allergens, particles, bacteria and viruses. | Allergen ModeThe 1000i has a unique allergen mode for those who experience sensitivity to pollen, pet hair, and more. The mode means that the 1000i is always on alert, monitoring and reacting to allergen risks, to immediately reduce exposure for those in the room. | Control From AnywhereThe Air Matters app allows you to control the air purifier from anywhere. You can turn it on/off, change speed, set a schedule or see your filter lifetime. Or, use Amazon Alexa, to turn on and adjust with voice control. Download the “Philips Air Purifier” in the Amazon Alexa app to connect your purifier. |

3 Automatic Modes and 4 Manual ModesThe 1000i has 3 automatic purification settings: a general mode, an extra-sensitive allergen mode, and an extra-powerful bacteria and virus mode. In addition to the 3 auto modes, the purifier also has 4 manual modes. Choose one of 4 different speed settings: from the extra-quiet ‘sleep’ mode to the extra-powerful ‘turbo speed’ mode. Pick one that is ideal for your required purification. | Professional Grade SensingBenchmarked against a professional-grade sensor, Philips AeraSense technology is highly effective in sensing even the slightest change in indoor air conditions. It continuously monitors the air and automatically adjusts the fan speed when a change in particles is detected. | Visualised Air QualityIn real-time, AeraSense shows you the air quality data via a numerical display and a colour ring on the dashboard of the air purifier. The numerical display from 1-12 is an index of the indoor air quality and potential allergen risk level: 1 indicates clean, and 12 indicates polluted. The colour ring provides an additional visual cue, ranging from blue (clean) to red (polluted). | Track Your Air QualityUse the Air Matters app to check both indoor (from the 1000i) and outdoor air quality. |

Makes a difference to the air I breathe
It’s a great air purifier and I breathe and sleep better since I bought it. I stopped using antihistamines. I highly recommend it. The only thing I am disappointed about is that it doesn’t eliminate smells. Or not fast enough. However, better with it than without as it truly is making the air I breathe much better.
Great Air Purifie
Love this product. I suffer with Asthma so decided to buy one for the days when I can’t open the windows. The machines shows the level of guff in the air in ppm and is easy to read. Like others I have two cats and the machine knows when they are near.
Worth the money
The purifier totally relieved my partner’ allergies of his allergies, as we have carpet flooring. The humidifier was super useful because we both suffer from minor eczema. Made our one bedroom flat smells better and the air feel much cleaner and crispier. Also good for our daily cooking as the house can feel smoky, and the purifies does it’s job well. Worth the money. Big bonus: it is a good looking machine
Best investment!!!
DIdnt realise how much the air impacts our sleeping until you get one!
I brought a cheaper brand and it lasted well for a few months.
I brought this and I realised a (wow!) quality and performance information sharing is excellent!
I don’t have any allergies neither does my son.
The air level is monitored by the light (blue) good air quality.
My sleep is great, I wake up feeling refreshed, no waking up in the night and the air quality helps you feel refreshed.
I’m just trying to remove as many pollutants, I’ve changed to an organic mattress.
All of these things are helping with our environment
My home air smells fresh, no open windows!
Great product and would recommend
Easy to set-up, super quiet and cleans the air. Better sleep.
Best investment!!!

Fantastic Air Purifie
Fantastic product. No more coughing at night for me. Wish I had discovered this product years ago as I have suffered for years coughing. Doctors visits inhalers etc etc. Works for me…
Air quality
Nicely made product, we’ve only had it a short time but seems to work well.
Love it!!!
Slightly louder than I expected but for the sake of clean air, I will put up with it!! Love this machine soooooo much
Amazing
It’s really good. Amazing how much dust is getting caught in the filters
Good produc
Some users have said the app was difficult. I think it’s been improved as I didn’t have any issues with the app. The product itself is great. In general mode it is very quiet. I have very bad lungs and I have noticed a huge difference at night. I don’t wake up coughing if I have the filter on. It can be turned on remotely which I like as I do this on the way home but you seem to need to be connected to the internet over wi-fi. 4g doesn’t let you access the device remotely. Make sure you remove all packaging from the filters before turning it on. This means opening the device (see instructions) and removing plastic packaging. Very happy with this purchase though
My 3 year old son has Asthma and after 5 serious attacks in as many months i decided to purchase this along with some other smaller/ cheaper models. First and foremost, since purchasing these purifiers, my son has not once had a asthma attack, this may well be coincidence and his lungs maybe are getting stronger but i certainly can’t ignore the difference these purifiers have made.
The Philips 3000i was required in our very large lounge diner. I am astonished and a little embarrassed at how much dust is trapped in the pre-filter (note this will need vacuuming at regular monthly intervals to remove blockages and build up of dust). I have still not been required to replace the main HEPA and Charcoal filter which is monitored by the unit. By downloading the App you can adjust settings, review historic air condition and monitor filter life. An expensive but incredibly efficient worthwhile machine. Really like the child lock to prevent kids adjusting the settings.

Ideal for bedrooms with quiet night sense auto-mode. With True HEPA filter, and Active Carbon filter. You can manage it via mobile app, and also see in real-time the status for air quality outside in your city.
Excellent product.
This is,amazing and really does help with allergies etc.
Fantastic.....clean ai
All good, works really well. Circulates nice clean air in an average sized living room with absolutely no problems.
The filters last a long time and are easy to clean.
I’ve bought 3 this year for various rooms. I can’t give a better recommendation than that!
Does a very good job
Easy to operate and maintain manually ( I have not opted for WiFi App mode). Located in our kitchen diner, it’s quite quiet in normal mode and reassuringly boosts up the fan rate when allergens rise and gradually reduces over time as the filters kick in. A worthwhile investment to reduce triggers that cause my asthma and hay fever. Very pleased.
Excellent produc
Its a very good product. I cant fault what’s been written in other reviews but it does seem very expensive. I’m not sure whether it would be more cost effective to buy separate humidifier and purifiers. We bought a couple of humidifiers for other rooms that seem effective but not as high quality as this (you have to replace the water more often with cheaper humidifiers and you can clearly see the mist stream which I cant with this one). Its super quiet and sturdy.

Quick to setup
Very simple machine to operate as it will automatically adjust fan speed based on air quality. The sound is generally low and you shouldn’t have an issue sleeping with it on, regardless of using sleep-mode. The air quality in my home has definitely improved
4/5 as unfortunately the mobile app is repetitively crashing upon launch (iOS 13) and only works if you launch it 2-3 times. That said you don’t need to use the app, and I find its only value is looking at the historical air quality chart for your home.

Pretty good.
Just the right size for a bedroom. On the lowest setting it’s about as loud as a hard drive, on night mode it’s silent. The air quality sensor is very quick to pick up on issues. Changing the bed for example, within a few seconds it’s had registered the air change and ramped up its speed. Night mode senses darkness near instantly and the same when the light is back. The only let down is Alexa, it’s useless, Alexa doesn’t understand instructions to just says she’s turned it on, or gives you a list of options, but then doesn’t understand. Siri on the other hand works faultlessly.
The price was a bit steep, but not as bad as the full asking price, but I suppose you get what you pay for. I previously had a Levoit purifier but although it worked to a degree, it didn’t pull particles in as such, if they happened to be passing by it would grab them. The Philips on turbo actually causes an airflow around the room, so a quick feather duster and a quick blast of an air can/keyboard duster and that kicks the dust into the air and the purifier pulls it in.
Update. After 48hrs the app no longer connects. Unplug the unit and plug it in again and it’ll reset the connection instantly.

You need a fresh air system rather than a purifie
I bought this to battle with hey fever which was particularly strong this year.
The purifier definitely works, you can feel the air becomes much fresher and easier to breath. It also filters a lot other particles and dusts in the air, the room becomes cleaner than before.
My symptom did improve but not that much. I feel completely normal when I stay in an air conditioned office which has fresh air system, but with the purifier, it only improves a little. I find taking pills are much more effective and cheaper.
I’d keep using this as it does work to clean the air.
Just a tip, I recently got rid of the down duvet and pillow and this helped a lot with my allergy.

Great product.
This is a great product. The WiFi connection was set up via the app in about 30 seconds. The fans monitor air and adjust accordingly. Definitely worth the investment and the app is good as well.
I’ve read complains on how noisy this air purifier is, but having grown up with a Honeywell high capacity air purifier, this one is really quiet in comparison. Noise is something that is relative and I just don’t trust a quiet air purifier. This is brilliant as it has a sensor which can auto adjust itself. I am allergic to dust so this really helped me when I moved to a new apartment just by the road which has a lot more dust than my previous place. Highly recommended
Amazing product...
Product very good, works perfectly.
Quality is incredibly high. Would recommend it any time!
They are good devices - but so expensive
We bought these after buying some cats and working out that some of the family members are allergic.
I’m not, but I have noticed a difference in air quality since we purchased the deceive which I was surprised about.
It’s not completely silent at night but very quiet.
The only really problem with the device is just how expensive it is versus other devices on the market but this is probably one of those cases where you get what you pay for.

Call it placebo effect, but since we’ve installed this in our small flat, everyone felt the difference especially in sleep quality.
Waking up in the morning without headache and sneezing is definitely worth the price paid.
We also cleaned and dusted up the entire flat for a week to make sure all deposited dust and dirt was removed. This will help for the future and the air purifier to kill dust mites and bacteria in the air.
If you think its a hokum, your are wrong. 😉
This purifier is perfect for flats or rooms up to 79 Square meter and if you have smokers, pets or an incredibly cluttered apartment.
Fresh Ai
I noticed a great improvement within hours. Purchased to enable me to sleep comfortably (without wheezing) in an old property under renovation. Filters needed a good clean within a few weeks- hopefully they won’t need too be replaced too soon! Nice looking (and sounding ) machine. Reasonably easy to use I had to refer to the handbook a few times at teh start until I could remember how to turn down lights or put on sleep mode etc.
Very Quiet Operatio
Very impressive machine. Efficient operation and easy to clean filter. I don’t use the app.

Great for allergies
Great product. It has helped me massively with my asthma and allergies. The only issue so far is that it occasionally gets a buzzing sound from the fan in sleep mode and I have to go through the various fan speeds a few times to clear it. Without the buzzing it is virtually silent. Great using it with the app. I control it with the app 90% of the time. Really easy to set up. Nothing complicated. Switch on. Choice of fan speeds. That’s it.

Mountain fresh air all the time!
I have a nightmare with a dust allergy and this has improved my sleep 100%!
It’s quiet, you can turn off the light and it makes the air feel mountain fresh!
I wish I could afford to put one in every room, the only downside is the cost but I suppose you get what you pay for!
If you are an allergy sufferer or just want to breath the cleanest air possible then this is a great buy, the sensing technology is not available on other lessor brands works just like professional equipment, I bought mine to filter out smoke that comes in from next door, and it filters out all the smoke and smells, I wouldn’t be without it, I bought 3 more Philips purifiers on the back of this one!

Keeps dust at bay
My wife is asthmatic and we have two spaniels that sleep usually on our landing but have been known to curl up at the bottom of our bed when the house is cold . Vacuuming removes most of their hair but our house did get quite dusty . We have been using this machine for a few weeks and we haven’t had to dust the bedroom during this period plus my wife hasn’t sneezed during this time . We have never slept in a quiet room as we used a fan so I couldn’t say whether it is noisy but this machine has a variable coloured light on the front that changes as the fan is working harder . The dogs find that unsettling .
The filters are very easy to clean and there is an automatic reminder light that informs you when the filter needs cleaning .

Excellent, so far!
A great product. I’ve had a Vax air purifier which cost in the region if 200. This is far superior.
Great filtering, super quiet (unless you set it high or have an air issue that needs sorting), great app (it lets you monitor over time, control the settings and monitor your local area and world wide).
It has a particle mode and a bacteria virus model on top of the general auto model.
The filter is constantly counting down when in use and one of them you can clean by water and vacuum cleaner. The main filters are pay per use and I haven’t got to that yet.
Just need it to last a few years now (my Vax died just outside the warranty and Vax were not interested in fixing it – use a local electrician!!! No and goodbye Vax).

Buy extra filter so you have a backup when you need to change i
I use this to keep the bedroom fresh. It works brilliantly. Switch the fan speed down to its lowest setting and turning the light off you don’t know it’s on at night. Would recommend this air purifier to anyone.
Responds very quickly to pollutants. Very quiet in normal conditions and easy to lift and carry.
I’ve had this device for 8 months now and I’m very pleased with it. I haven’t used the wifi function, so can’t comment on how easy it is to pair with a smartphone. It seems to detect pollution very quickly and (I assume) remove it. I have it in a hallway close to my kitchen and if I start frying something using oil the sensor ramps up to red immediately and the fan becomes quite noisy. However in normal mode it’s virtually silent. I have had it running next to my open bedroom door after doing some painting inside and have been able to sleep very easily with the door open without hearing the fan. I’ve recently cleaned the washable pre-filter using a soft brush to remove fluff and dust and then washing in cold water. It was easy to remove and replace. It doesn’t have wheels, but has a built in handle at the back which makes it easy to lift and carry, as it’s fairly light. I put it up on a kitchen unit to make it easier to remove and replace the filter withot bending down.

Great produc
Great product definitely helped with my hay fever, the app wouldn’t link to my phone but did connect to my partners phone so I stopped trying.
Never knew air purifier was a necessity for us. We live on the ground floor and can’t keep windows open all the time. This air purifier has turned out to be a blessing as my child gets stuffy nose quite often due to dust allergy. It was effective from the first night and he has sound sleep. One can feel the before and after difference in the air quality and I wish I had got this before.
Like other reviewers I would say the ap is beyond crap, keeps disconnecting, although it us quite useful when connected as it gives you the ease to control it remotely. It doesn’t bother me much though as the control panel at its top has all the functions. They must lower the price though!
Top tip for winter season is to use it a bit away from your bed to avoid cold air, but it is essential as it captures mould spores as well (Use allergen or bacteria and virus mode) – It is not a bacteria or virus eliminator but rather captures its particles and reduces its effect in air.
Highly recommend it for people who need fresher air especially in the winter season when its too cold to open a window!
Has helped my asthma
I bought this for my asthma and it does seem to have really helped. It’s quite large and obtrusive in the bedroom but not too heavy to lift. I haven’t tried the sleep mode yet but have tried the allergen mode and the bacteria and virus mode and I didn’t get the cold that my husband had so that’s a thumbs up.
It does exatly what it says here.
Did it pull, how much dust? In the small bed-sit apartment flat I need to clean out the filters every week. The computer is not now full of dust in the cooling ducts. My computers are running cooler. I recommend this device
Additional benefit six months later. What happened to my asthma? What asthma? The allergens are filtered out. Not a cure, but certainly a benefit.

I’m writing about this product because I genuinely feel this is a game changer. I suffer from allergies such as hay fever and also dust. My body thinks dust is pollen and they are the same thing when I don’t have hay fever I have hot air heating that can initially blow out dust and make it circulate around my home, and my house is pretty dust free as I’m clean freak.
This product does what it says on the tin. It’s not cheap to buy and the filters are a little pricy but I don’t get streaming eyes sore throats anymore.
I do have a career as Cabin crew. When my hay-fever is at its worst all I want is to be in an air condoned room or on a plane at 40’000 ft away from the pollen.
I have a two bedroom house on two floors I have one in my hallway upstairs and one in my living room. Within 30 mins I notice a huge difference.
You need to think about how big your property is to get the best benefits.
You need to think about the size of your property and is it on one floor or two. If on two levels I’d buy two of these air purifiers.
I pop it on for maybe 2 hours a day max.
It has the energy efficiency sticker on it so I believe it should not cost the earth to run.
Ergonomically it’s fairly attractive and looks good in a modern home it’s not small be aware, but that’s good as the bigger the machine I think it’s far more affective.
Like I mentioned earlier I travel the world it connects to your Wi-Fi so you can control on your smart phone even graphs so you can monitor the air quality . When the air quality goes down it sends me a text message when it’s off anywhere around the world so just like a hive central heating unit you can just switch it on remotely.
The fab thing is when I land back in the Uk I can turn it on remotely from my phone and 30 mins later when I’m home the air is clean and I’m not sneezing. In fact it’s so affective the first week you may still sneeze as your body adjusts to clean air.
It took a couple of attempts to set up Wi-Fi you hover the Bony part of your thumb and finger on it very gently and it will all work I was a bit forceful you just rest your finger and thumb on it no need to press down hard.
This product has changed my quality of life hugely if life is miserable with hay fever this really will make a huge difference. The senses on the device will on accessions decide the best way to clean the air in your room it changes colour as it sets the alternate clean / climate environment mode, buy it it will change your life. I’m off nasal sprays, antihistamines now.
Hope this post helps. X
Although this arrives seemingly fully assembled, you need to remove the filters, unwrap them and then refit. Easy to do and then you are ready to switch on.
There is an app you can download for full control but you can also manually do so without using it. I found it easy to download and pair the purifier, then having access to information about air quality.
It is interesting to watch the purifier in action, particularly the light at the front, which gives a visual display of air qualiy, showing mostly blue but turning magenta whenever one of the cats gets too close. Perhaps it just doesn’t like cats, but I suspect it is picking up something shaken from fur.
I like the fact that this is boxed with cardboard padding rather than plastic or polystyrene, which means you can recycle the vast majority of the packaging.
Overall, I found this made a difference to the air quality in my room, making it fresher and more vibrant. Pollen is much reduced, so I find huge relief from hay fever symptoms whilst this is running. It can be left on constantly and is mainly just a background hum that you can barely hear, other than when it ramps up the fans when it detects something that needs to be addressed. I think it is great and particularly useful during hay fever season.
Worth every penny
Delighted with this air purifier the WiFi and app control is brillant the air it produces is clean and fresh. It ia an expensive item but it dose a first class job Philips is a first class brand and have produced a well made device
Bought this based on other reviews, have allergies and asthma … didnt think one of these would make a difference and even Dr looked at me strange when i mentioned id got one. but it really does make a huge difference!
It does what it says
I know now the air in my room is as good as it can be, it really works. It even picks up the cooking smells? as they drift in from the kitchen and you can see it working harder to purify the ai
Asthmatic, as result no drugs needed when at home. Clears dust particles from the air efficiently, as well. Bit noisy but not a problem as it’s not in my bedroom. Might get a second one for bedroom.
Virtually silent air purifie
Good value air purifier (bought on prime day). I live in central London, and was expecting the air quality to be a lot worse than the machine tells me it is most of the time! The room smells different when I have it on, and the sleep mode is absolutely silent.
Incredible
I got this because ‘Which’ recommended it. I suffer from allergies and am just generally sensitive to all things related to breathing – smells, dust, humidity levels and so on
I have a much less expensive yet highly rated air purifier but it is no comparison to this Philips 2 in 1 machine
As soon as I switched it on I could feel a HUGE difference in the air quality – the air felt ‘clean’ and fresh like I was at the seaside.
The auto sensors are great constantly modifying the fan to deal with impurities.
The humidifier is excellent
The fan is very quiet and on sleep mode you can barely hear it
It’s easy to set up and works great from the app – although keep in mind you can swicth off ‘notifications’ in your phone settings for this device or you will get a message every 10 minutes telling you the machine has detected a change in the air – which is useless information really
Overall – I am thrilled with this machine because having a clear head is worth every penny
If you can afford it – get it – I’m glad I got the purifier/humidifier rather than just a purifier
and keep in mind this thing is HUGE – it’s not the sort of thing you will carry up and down the stairs – it’s the size of a very large cabin bag
Incredible
I got this because ‘Which’ recommended it. I suffer from allergies and am just generally sensitive to all things related to breathing – smells, dust, humidity levels and so on
I have a much less expensive yet highly rated air purifier but it is no comparison to this Philips 2 in 1 machine
As soon as I switched it on I could feel a HUGE difference in the air quality – the air felt ‘clean’ and fresh like I was at the seaside.
The auto sensors are great constantly modifying the fan to deal with impurities.

Air quality acheived
Bought this because live near busy road and wanted peace of mind on air quality. It gives a reading of air quality in the home. Surprising when using deodorant spray how much air quality deteriorates. Pleased with purchase, ultra quiet on night mode and gives me peace of mind. A little expensive but does what it says on the tin.
Perfect Sleep
This has made sleeping a pleasure- the air is always fresh & not dry. The dust levels in the bedroom are a reduced & it even reduced the dust the dogs kick up. The sleep mode is virtually silent with no lights & the turbo mode is fabulous when changing the bed. Highly recommended
brillia
got this because we live next door to wood burner, this is a life saver nice to breath clean air instead of wood smoke smell
Overpriced
Slightly overpriced for a fan with filter.
Humidifier function rarely used but would come handy in the winter.
Noise level is acceptable – low level white noise….
Not sure about the wi-fi feature as I think it does not add value – attractive only in the description.
Chuffed with my new healthy gadge
Bought this purifier/humidifier about a month ago, genuinely love it.
It cleans the dust particles out of the room pretty quickly.
Weve had it around the house and it has helped my wife with her allergies, especially now were in summer. I have noticed with the humidifer as well that my eyes aren’t as dry any more.
Night mode is really good, it is unnoticeable and easy to sleep with on.
Expensive, but reasonable compared to similar products, based on research and the which review I was sold.
The air matters app is good, you can pay a subscription for less than 1 a year to remove adverts, but tbh I haven’t noticed any adverts anyway.
Only downside is when I move it upstairs or downstairs I have to pair it with the phone again because of our wife repeater, but it takes about a minute.

Certainly worth the money for those with allergies
This product was an absolute godsend for my son. He suffers really bad with hay fever and this year has been the worst yet, but with this he can actually breath and doesn’t want to claw his eyes ou
This is serious air purifier, highly recommended for every home
What I can say 😉 it works very well. Philips Air Purifier Series 3000i is Mega. It will connect to your wi-fi so you can manage it with and app. Please see attached video of the purifier and photos from the app. Easy to use, silent, great design, very quiet. I had my wet dog coming back home and this machine has detected all the smells straight away. I love LED lights I think it looks cool in bedroom at night 😉 a little bit expensive but hey for the same price you get Vax Air Purifier and Vax do not look that cool and do not have app 😉 so Philips is first choice 😉 If my review was helpful for you please click Helpful button below and follow me for more reviews.

Air purifier which works
Really easy to assemble, use and maintain and it works. No hay fever for me when it is turned on!
Filters any bad air around
Fantastic product to anyone with hayfever or allergies
Daughter felt better with the clean ai
This air purifier works and has extra functions
I’ve had this air purifier for 2 months, just in time for the allergy season which my family suffer from. I was expecting good results from a company like Philips, and it’s exceeded these expectations. Very easy to use, adding it onto my Wifi took a little longer to setup but once setup, you can now control the device with an app and Alexa.
Performance is fantastic, the sensor activated the fan speed of it detects bad air quality and the bedroom feels a lot fresher at night time and helping to keep hay fever to minimum.
Highly recommend this product – we’ve been using it every night and would go without it.

Does it work
This product is good to look at and not out of place in the bedroom where it is used mainly. Not sure how effective it is as the air quality has been pretty good in my area of late (never stopped raining) The one down side is the weight you would not be moving this device up and down stairs on a regular basis
Excellent air purifier. Bought the 3000 series for the living room. That one was doing such a good job that I decided to get a smaller one for the bedroom. I have had quite a few air purifiers over the last 12 years, ranging from 500 to 100. These Philips ones don’t come cheap but they certainly do their job better than any other air purifier I have had so far. Clean air constantly, dust is caught in the first filter as is pet hair. Very happy with this air purifier.
This is an excellent product which really does make a difference to the air quality in my house and has alleviated my hay fever symptoms massively. Any one who suffers from allergies knows how difficult it is to cope during the summer months. This Air Purifier really does make the difference. It is easy to set up and the automatic mode is excellent as it senses changes to the air quality and adjusts the power accordingly. The air feels crisper within a hour of the Purifier being on. The app is easy to set up and connect and from there it is smooth sailing with the automatic mode. This is an expensive product but does offer value for money as it leads to a better quality of life for allergy sufferers.
The humidification wick gets mildewy
All good about this unit EXCEPT that the humidification wick gets very mildewy and smells very bad no matter how closely I follow the instructions to soak it and wash it every week. It just does not work. It can operate without the wick as just an air purifier (but then you do not have to pay this much for the set) or you have to keep buying new wicks which is about 24.
Does a great job of cleaning the air, but the app is average
This is a fantastic purifier and humidifier and would definitely recommend it. It was easy to get going and I’ve mainly left it on ‘Auto’ and 50% humidity (recommended for most homes) with it purring away in the corner keeping the air clean.
The two things that let it down are:
1. The app (Air Matters) can be slow to connect and update, especially when away from home. I had to reset and reinstall after it lost connection at least once.
2. No timer to turn it off and on with a preset schedule, which I think might save energy. Only a ‘sleep’ timer which you must start manually.
Overall these don’t detract from a great air purifier from Philips.

It did something we didn’t expect!
We have been constantly sneezing, running eyes and generally uncomfortable. So we decided to buy an air “cleaner”. When turned on it responded by going flat out, quite intrusive, but in a short time it settled into a rhythm and only launched it max mode in response to our dog shaking himself nearby.
It’s hard to quantify the exact effect it has, it’s certainly removed the pollen and dust (a black glass table doesn’t get dusty so quickly) the astounding thing is the rapid removal of cooking odours, it cleared a fried fish smell, cooked on the hob, in about 10 minutes something that can take literally days to go away.
If you suffer from cooking smells, a damp dog I recommend this appliance

A major aid for hay feve
I have suffered for years with hay fever and my wife has now started to suffer as swell.
At the height of the grass pollen season we were trapped in the house but even there we still suffered. We decided to give this filter a go. We are so pleased we did. This creates a refuge in the house. We are able to go out in the garden or for walks where we live in the country and as we start to suffer are able to return to the house and pollen free environment.
We were so pleased with this we bought another one which we keep in the bedroom.
We only use this during the pollen season so have not had to replace filters yet.

Bought this for one reason to help with my allergies with my dog. worked the day i switched it on. also great for gwtting rid of unwanted odour (dog smell, cooking smells)
Amazing if you want allergy air purification. The remote control features are intermittent at bes
I suffer from terrible allergies. I live in an old house, near a large city and have both cats and dogs. Despite my best effort dust is like a visible haze in the house.
The Philips air purifier has made an immediate impact.within the first day all dust was removed from the house and it went from a screaming red colour to a satisfied blue as I moved it from room to room. It is large but light so this is an easy option. It is also surprisingly quiet , especially on sleep mode which is now set it on overnight.
This has made such a big difference to my allergies that within a week of buying it I have bought a second and now have one upstairs and one Down.
Now the bad. Setting up the WiFi is painful if you try the automatic setup – manual is much easier. The apps is not fit for purpose and you have a tiny chance of the device being online when you use the app.
If remote control is important to you then don’t buy this. If air quality is you thing then I personally rate it.
I have not had to clean it so cannot rate tha

This is a well made and simple to use air filter which responds quickly when it encounters a wave of pollen from an open window or the effect of someone frying bacon down in the kitchen. It’s sensitive and the colour settings denote information about the level of particles it’s dealing with. It automatically ramps up the filtration level when the sensor detects pollutants and you can select for a general level or enhanced micro filtration for allergens and even germs. Not at all noisy at four or below but it picks up for short periods and may become audible. There’s a setting for night time which keeps the light off and levels down. I’m very pleased with this purifier and though it’s not cheap, I’m considering another for the kitchen.
Makes a big difference in my moldy, dusty rental house. I have really bad allergies, and this has made a huge difference in my bedroom. It’s quiet. I wish it had a fully dark mode, though. Even in the ‘dark’ mode, it still emits a blue light.

Easy to setup and very quiet, noticeable difference in air quality, had some problems setting up the app for android but got there eventually
I bought this to use instead of a window fan extractor which was making a lot of noise and introducing cold air into the room. This is fairly easy to use although it took me some time with the instruction book working out the various controls on the top. Now I have mastered it I am very happy with the purifier and it indicates immediately there is any pollution in the air. The room feels fresher than it has for years and I would certainly recommend this model.
Firstly, before giving feedback on the product, I would say to anyone considering an air purifier that it is worth it. I used purifiers for a while now, but this is the first one I have used with an air quality sensor. The air quality in my house without this on is 5x worse than outside! The amount of pm2.5 that is in the air indoors is crazy…
It is very easy to unbox and put together this purifier. The filters inside the machine come packaged in sealed plastic, so must be removed before turning on – this is as simple as sliding off the front cover of the machine and the filters are there. Nothing fiddly.
The machine plugs in and starts up straight away. No setup required to get it to function without WiFi. All good so far (save for Amazon delivery not knocking on my door, but leaving this on the street in the product box for everyone to see an expensive item to steal).
There is a mild smell to start with, but nothing offensive or long lasting. The carbon filter does quite a good job of eliminating smells, especially oil from cooking.
Regarding the fan speeds, there are 5 options. Silent is what I use at night in the bedroom, which cannot be heard. Of course, the effectiveness of the machine is not great when the fan is spinning so slowly, but it is better than not being on at all. The regular speeds are 1/2/3, which seem to be very similar. Turbo mode is a huge jump and sounds like a hairdryer. The machine is very effective at removing the pollutants in Turbo mode, as can be seen on the real-time air quality feedback.
It would be great to see some speeds inbetween 3 and Turbo, similar to the Dyson pure with 10 speed settings. Since the machine does not oscillate, a strong airflow is required to circulate the air – 3 does not do this well enough and Turbo is too noisy. When switching to Turbo mode, you can see that the air is circulated better, and dirty air drawn in, as the air quality rating shows an increase in pollutants immediately after the speed-up.
It would also be nice to set some direction to the clean air outlet. The air inlets are long, thin and on either side, so I expect do a good job of drawing in air from various directions. The air outlet however is on the rear and points upwards. It would be nice to angle this, as I have the unit in the corner of the partly obstructed by another piece of furniture.
The thing that really bugs me for a high price air purifier is the App. I have heard similar issue for the Dyson App too, so would not necessarily make a decision on this point, it is just disappointing as the WiFi control is one of the features you are paying a lot for. The App design is quite clear, with easy to read layout. Connecting the unit to the App is a nightmare. I work in technology, and have everything in my house as a “smart” device. This is the most un-user friendly setup I have experienced personally and professionally. It took me almost an hour just to get it connected.
You have to set your WiFi so that there is a separate 2.4GHz channel – by default my BT router has a 2.4GHz and 5GHz dynamic connection to allow for devices to connect to either, but because my phone connects to 5GHz channel, I had to change from dynamic to separate channels, which required learning how to change router setup. When changing to a distinct dual channel router setup, a lot of devices got kicked off the network and needed to be provided with a new password and reconnected.
During the connection process, the App “guides” you on what to do. However, some steps just don’t work first time and need to be tried multiple times. This is even more frustrating since the App doesn’t give progress status, so you just sit whilst the App says “please wait” and hope that it works. Sometimes, after a few minutes, it says “connection failed” and provides only one option labelled “connect manually”. Pressing “connect manually” does nothing but take you back to start the exact same process again.
After finally getting connected to WiFi network, the App can be used to control the fan speed settings, set an auto mode, adjust the brightness of the lights on the unit, and turn on/off the unit. This works okay if your phone/tablet is connected to the same WiFi network as the device. If you are using the App over mobile network, I would say it works probably 10% of the time. The majority of the time it says the device is not connected. Some of the time it says the device is connected, but any change to settings doesn’t seem to actually apply to your device – the app just freezes. I sent the log files and contacted the support team, whose only suggestion was to uninstall and reinstall the app (note I had only just installed it as I was setting it up).
The App is supposed to also record and display hourly data for the air quality reading of your device. This seems to work okay on my Android device, but in iOS devices it just doesn’t load in the App. Only the spinning “loading” icon.
Comparing the performance of purification against other purifiers, this is significantly better. I have compared to both the Bionaire and Levoit units I have, and measured the results using the air quality sensor. I ran the Philips unit for 2 hours in a 20 square metre room – the pm2.5 rating reduced to 1 particle per cubic metre. Comparing against the Bionaire and Levoit purifiers, even when left running ALL DAY LONG, they produced a reading of no lower than 15 particles per cubic metre.
This effectiveness is what redeems the Philips unit for me – the App and WiFi connection may be difficult and unreliable, but the purification power is immense.
The other thing that let me down with the Philips unit was that the Philips website explicitly said you could set a SCHEDULE using the App. You cannot set a schedule, you can only in fact set a timer. So you cannot say turn on at 6am and turn off at 9am. You can only turn it on manually and set a timer for 3 hours. The only thing that redeems this for me is the fact that the device turns on when the socket is turned on – I have this connected to a WiFi plug, which is on a timer. When the WiFi plug turns on, the purifier turns on with the same settings as when last turned off.
Edit on 30 July 2019:
I bought a second one of these in Prime Day sale and I must say the issues with the setup and app have been ironed out. Leaving my original review unchanged as I cannot tell whether the setup is working better because I already have one device setup on the app.
Edit on 07 April 2020:
A few more things to add that I have noticed after living with the units for a couple of years now. Everything is still going strong, no rattles, no shakes, no squeaks. I have just added an AC0820 unit to my home office space, and I must say that whilst it doesn’t have as many features as these bigger 2000 series units, it seems just as good quality and is so quiet!
One thing I noticed when reading reviews of AC0820 before purchasing, is that some people are complaining it is made of plastic. I have actually found the total plastic build of all the units to be a big benefit in keeping them clean. I have a very muddy dog (the kind of one you see in the videos online where they look like a swamp monster climbing out of a mudpit) and he brushes past, or shakes next to, these units on a daily basis. The plastic build means that a little wipe down with some kitchen or bathroom cleaner returns them to looking like new. I imagine the same thing would apply to children who like to express themselves with paint and crayons.
I have had to replace the main filter once since buying the units. This is despite two people who work from home and a dog making dust to be sucked up 24.7. Yes, the replacement filters are expensive, but when I had a brand new one next to the one that reached the end of its life, it was like night and day. So I am confident that the particles are getting sucked up and staying trapped.
This is my second one as a replacement of dyson air purifier. The reason why I like it much more than dyson is two reasons:
1. The sleep mode much quite than dyson! No any disturb of your sleeping
2. This one is 2 in 1 purifier and humidifier. When you have heyfever and your nose and mouth both feel dry. So now with this I no longer need a sole humidifier. Save lot space!
It helps with allergies
I am using my inhaler a lot less since I purchased the air purifier. I am allergies to pollen and dust. It is a costly machine, but guess the reduce need of my inhaler will balance out the cost in the long run.
My daughter was suffering with hay fever this very dry summer of 2018 that is why I purchased the purifier. It is so quiet my daughter could now have a good nights sleep as the pollen was cleared from her bed room. It really works well.
Very quite have it on all day don’t use a lot of electric
I love this! Have it in my bedroom. It’s smart, with a small footprint. I run it at night (it’s practically silent on night mode) and when tidying my room or changing the bedding – as this brings on a runny nose and sneezing due to a dust allergy.
Been using it for a few weeks now. I have one in my lounge too. I think these must be working as when I’m out and about or at other houses, my hay fever symptoms are worse than when at home. Also, they make the air feel kind of crisp and clean – can’t say how and why but it does, which is a nice experience for home.
Fully recommend!
Easy set up, air feels fresher & less allergies! Service was super fast, arrived next morning!
There are two cons on this product 1) it is expensive and 2) it is large and heavy especially when full of water.
The pros outweigh those two cons by miles. I have been using it in sleep mode in my bedroom for a week and no longer wake up snoring or unable to breathe. I have not had to take anti-histamines in that time either, although this is a high pollen period of time. The sleep mode is totally silent. If you want this to run quietly then the fan speed on the two other programmes can be adjusted down to 1. If you want a fan to cool you or white noise to drown out noise nuisance then speeds 2, 3 and turbo will all do that job. I have discovered also that most of the pollutants are household sprays and personal toiletries, which is very useful to know.
A purifier that I’ve been waiting for for a long time. I definitely recommend it. Much better then dyson products and way cheaper. My plan is to replace dyson humidifier in my other room next month or so. App work just fine, no nasty fog from humidifier like dyson is making and air nice and clean on top of that. 3.5 liter tank seems to be big enough. Worth every penny.
