Philips Series 2000i AC2939/10 -ilmanpuhdistin

Does just what is needed, efficiently and quietly. Intuitive control panel with really helpful indicators on operation and condition of filter.

I have been using this machine now for three years, and it has always kept the air very clean. and the app has been useful.

I really recommend this air purifier I’m really impressed with the quality of air it was noticeable from the first hour of use. I have placed it in the living room downstairs and it covers entire house, a 3 bedroom house of aprox 75 sq m, it’s very efficient this is what I was looking for.

On päällikkölaite ! Hyvännäköinen ja toimii. Tosi näppärä puhelinsovellus. Väkevä suositus.

I chose this filter so that our new puppy wouldn't make the house smell and also to help with my fathers allergies when he visits. I have to say, its an absolute amazing piece of kit! Amazing how much dust/particles/hairs etc it picks up - I'm rather astonished at it's efficiency so much so that I have bought another for upstairs and a smaller one for my office!

Packaging. Easy to unpack with plastic bag covering and instructions sealed in a plastic bag. Not heavy but a little awkward due to size of unit. Cardboard ends to hold product securely look recyclable. Basic visual instructions printed on inside flaps of box - useful idea.

Setup. The instruction booklet is good with plenty of diagrams in the initial sections and is written in clear English. As one progresses through the booklet there are plenty of top panel diagrams to show various operational modes etc along with written instructions. A section on troubleshooting with suggested solutions completes the manual which again provides help later.

A tag protruding from the base unit catches your eye as you unpack and with the aid of the instruction booklet instructs the user to open the lower cover - stiff but ok - and remove the filter cartridge . All plastic packaging needs to be removed - just the bag in this case - and the filter cartridge is then replaced in its housing. Not difficult again but requires a little manipulation to insert. The unit is then ready for use.

First use. This model has a Wi-Fi capability if you wish to use the unit with a smartphone or tablet - handy but not essential for the unit to operate. In this case the app was downloaded with no difficulty as instructed. The instructions here fade away somewhat with just a brief reference to launching the app selecting "Connect a new device" and then just the usual "follow the instructions" in the app. Perhaps a little more information could be given here as to the steps within the app to connect to the system eg registering etc - which I had already done but some may not - being their first purchase.

Use. The purifier can be used from the top panel easily with a touch panel and various indicators with a illuminated coloured ring to indicate air quality - explained fully in two tables in the booklet along with a large numeric display on the panel. However I am intrigued by the order in section 3 - turning on and off appears after the section on the wi-fi indicator and the air quality light instructions - this should be the first area one meets in the book. Nothing happens until the unit is switched on !!

The rest of section 3 gives sketches and text describing the various settings and indications which the user can alter as they wish in a fairly obvious manner from the top panel - nothing is mentioned as to the extra features contained within the app - scheduled on/off , data recording and setting the type of environment the unit will be used in. This seems a bit of an error to me and might encourage users to make more use of the features if mentioned.

Sections 4 and 5 deal with care and cleaning of the unit along with filter replacement (at present around £60) and the booklet finishes with troubleshooting already mentioned.

I found it very easy to set up and use and seems to work efficiently from its own figures of course. The fan is very quiet in sleep mode only becoming intrusive at the fastest turbo mode but most of the time it was in auto which was barely audible over conversation or the TV.

Using the app I have set up a daily run just to check the air quality and then to ensure that the air is ok even during the winter period when ventilation indoors may be less than perfect. This works fine.

We shall look forward to the summer when it's purification will be really tested .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Series 2000 Air Purifier is a game changer.

I have a dog, three Guinea pigs and I’m a smoker. I never realised quite how polluted the air in my house was before. Within 10 minutes of use, the air purifier had done its magic and the difference was amazing.

The display tells you the level of pollution in your room when you first turn it on, mine was at 500 (the highest level of pollution). In a short space of time, this has reduced to between 1 and 25.

On automatic setting, you just hear a low hum which isn’t distracting and on night mode you can barely tell it’s turned on.

It looks smart and modern and the filter is very easy to clean.

My only criticism would be the accompanying app. I could not get the app to work on any of my devices despite trying numerous times.

Overall, we all love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressed with the unit, simple to set up and use. You need to have an account with Philips to get the app, the machine will work without it but its a far better experience to use it. We've been using it in different rooms, the lounge, kitchen and bedrooms. The app doesn't allow (I think) to tailor for specific rooms, but that's not really an issue. Once you turn the app on you can control all aspects of the purifier, as well as check it's progress and check your levels. Very intuitive and seems very quick to recycle the air in a room. So far very impressed, the real test (and when it will get the most use) will come in the summer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The purifier arrived well presented in sturdy packaging which gave a hint as to the quality of the product inside. The colour of the purifier means it will fit into most people's décor. The base is grey and the top cream. Its size means it will fit into even the smallest room without being obtrusive (600mm high and 250mm in diameter). There is a control panel on top that is easy to use, this has a circular light running around the outside that changes colour depending on the quality of the air in the room.

The purifier operates at 4 speeds, Auto, Turbo, Gentle and sleep mode. I used auto and sleep mode. In sleep mode the unit is silent and does not disturb sleep at all but is still able to keep the air clean. Turbo mode is ideal to clean the air of cooking smells if used near the kitchen. The air leaves the purifier in a vortex, so it is distributed evenly around the room.

There is an App that supports remote operation of the purifier. It can be set to switch on automatically and the speed can be set as well.

The purifier sends alerts to the App when it detects sudden changes in air quality. I received an alert and on investigating the reason I discovered that a large gas leak had developed under the floorboards in my bedroom.

I found that at night I was sleeping better due the fact that I was breathing clean air.

Overall, this is an excellent product, cleaning the air efficient and cost-effective way. My smart meter didn’t show any changes when the purifier switched on and off in auto mode.

If I could find one fault it was there are no hand holds to carry the unit from one room to another.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being a sufferer of allergies such as pollen, dust mites and pet hair, I was excited to try out this air purifier to see whether I would see any improvement in my health.

From opening the box, I was impressed with the stylish look and feel of the unit. The solid build quality and simple and intuitive nature of its features and design is what you would come to expect of a product manufactured by Phillips. With a simple arrangement of touch sensitive buttons and a vibrant colour changing ring which alters with the air quality level, this purifier is a pretty sleek and easy-to-use piece of kit.

The unit was quick and easy to setup using the Clean Home app and leaving the Auto Mode on 24/7 has allowed me to leave it do its thing. The app is used to monitor the current and past air qualities, but also as a remote control which cleverly works away from the home.

The handy Night Mode allows for the unit to continue its air purification at a low speed, but in a whisper quiet fashion.

I have used the unit in a multitude of settings, from our kitchen-lounge-diner to our bedroom, and can confidently say that it works very well in all. The unit does a great job at absorbing smells and smoke from cooking in the kitchen and instantly firing up into action whilst making the bed, fluffing a cushion, or drawing the curtains in the morning.

The verdict – it works! I no longer wake up with a stuffy, sniffly nose or the need to constantly clear my throat throughout the day. I have also noticed a considerable improvement in my quality of sleep and would therefore highly recommend this product.

Please note that I received this product free of charge as part of a testing process, in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
