We like that the true HEPA filter has various options for you to customize. Alen BreatheSmart FLEX Vs Blueair 211+ – ControlsEven though none of these air purifiers have a Sleep Mode, I find them both pretty quiet while working on speed one. As an extra option, both devices can dim the light of the indicators, making them almost unnoticeable. Blueair does it only a few seconds after the last time you pushed the button, while with Alen FLEX you need to press once on the power button, while the appliance is running.
As for the Blueair 211+, the first and the second speed levels turned out to be pleasantly silent and easy to be around with. But, the minute you switch to the maximum speed, the motor starts to emit weird and almost unpleasant sounds. I would give this air purifier a significant advantage as opposed to many other appliances I’ve tested. If you combine the silent motor with dimmed indicators, you’ll get an air purifier that is almost a partner in crime. So confident that you can use it in your bedroom during the night time.
