Above-average performance from BestElements air purifiers
Stiftung Warentest Service: Air purifiers put to the test
Infection numbers are high, as is the public’s uncertainty, air cleaners promise protection by removing viruses, bacteria, pollen, fine dust and many more pollutants from the air. But how good are they really? Air purifiers promise protection against germs: Stiftung Warentest examined how well mobile air filters clean the air and ensure more safety in times of corona.
Air filters against corona, but also a solution for allergy sufferers
Mobile air purifiers also successfully filter pollen
Stiftung Warentest: Most of those tested protect well and filter coronaviruses out of the air. A blessing for allergy sufferers: you can also use it to get rid of pollen. Test winners filter aerosols, pollen and pollutants effectively and effectively. Some air filters also remove air pollutants such as formaldehyde. Sleep mode can be used at night, which means that the air filter is much quieter.
Among other things were in the test Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier Pro, Levoit Core 400S, Philips AC 2939/10 und Philips AC 2887/10
BestElements air purifier in comparison with the tested
BE AIR air purifier in volume flow comparison with devices tested by Stiftung Warentest
CADR m³/hour
According to the Federal Environment Agency, 4 air changes per hour are required to protect against corona viruses.
This means that the higher the volume flow rate per hour, the higher the probability that viruses, germs, pollen, fine dust and many other pollutants will be removed from the air. The UV-C filter stage represents a large part of the filter performance against viruses. However, many of the devices tested by Stiftung Warentest do not have a filter stage with UV light. The mobile BestElements air purifiers of the BE AIR series have UV-C and other efficient filter levels to ensure the best air at home, in the office and in group rooms.
Do air filters protect against corona? Measurements bring clear results!
The two most important points: Wherever air purifier sinks in use, the viral load is actually significantly reduced. And where it is missing, the important boost ventilation is only carried out consistently in eight percent. Source merkur.de
