Blueair Blue Pure 511 review

Blueair Blue Pure 511 Air Purifier

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.1 / 5

The cheapest purifier on this list, and its 38 m² coverage suits a single small-to-medium room rather than anything bigger. Blueair replaced the older 411/411+ with this 511 model in the UK, so treat it as the current comparable rather than a downgrade.

Best for
A small bedroom or home office on the tightest budget
Skip it if
You need to cover a room larger than about 38 m²

What we like

  • Lowest price on this list
  • HEPASilent filter combines particle and carbon filtration in one stage
  • Compact enough for a small bedroom or office

Worth knowing

  • Smallest stated room coverage on this list at 38 m², so it won't suit an open-plan space
  • Blueair's own noise figures aren't fully consistent across their own materials, so treat the dB rating as approximate
  • CADR is a converted figure rather than a figure Blueair publishes directly in m³/h

ⓘ As an Amazon Associate, PreparedBritain earns from qualifying purchases. We may earn a commission when you buy, or a fee when you request a quote, through our links. When two products are close, commission can decide which one we pick. A clearly better product always wins. Amazon prices come from Amazon's own product data and show the date and time they were retrieved. Prices at other retailers are checked by us, less often. Prices and stock can change at any time, so always check the retailer's price before you buy.

Who shouldn't buy this

Don't buy it if you need to cover a room larger than about 38 m² — the Philips 2200 Series or Winix Zero-S are built for bigger spaces.

How this review works

This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the UK price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
