When we talk about household appliances, an air purifier might not be something that pops into mind immediately. After all, outside of the haze season, most of us don’t give a second thought about the quality of the air that we’re breathing in.

While we are fortunate enough to live in a city that isn’t heavily polluted, that doesn’t mean that our air is pollution-free. Even in our own homes, there are particles in the air that can trigger allergies, asthma and even make us sick.

As such, there are certain groups of people who would benefit from having an air purifier like the DustMagnet™️ by Blueair, a company founded in Sweden that has improved the health and well-being of people in over 60 countries around the world – with devices for both home and professional use (i.e. hospitals, airports, hotels).

The neat thing about DustMagnet™ is that it is capable of removing 99% of airborne dust before any of it settles on your floor, furniture and other surfaces. With its neutral white and grey exterior and modern round edges, the air purifier is designed in a way that doesn’t intrude on the aesthetics and vibe of your home. It also has a flat top surface, so you can even use it as a side table in the bedroom or living room - how’s that for thoughtful design?

Read on to find out if you’re one of those people who absolutely need a DustMagnet™ in your home!

#1 People with allergies

Ugh, aren’t allergies the worst? It’s honestly so inconvenient when you have a sensitive nose, or sinuses that are always acting up. In between the constant sneezing and sniffling, it can be difficult to focus or even get a good night’s sleep. That’s no way to live!

To ensure you’re getting the cleanest air possible in your home, the DustMagnet™ removes more than 98% of particles in the air. That includes dust, mould and pollen, which are common allergens that can cause irritation to your eyes, nose and throat.

#2 People with busy schedules

Household dust is mostly made up of dead skin cells, dust mites, dead bugs and microplastics - just think about that the next time you see a layer of dust on your table or shelves! If you found that absolutely disgusting, yet you know that you don’t have the time to regularly dust every single surface in your home, then the DustMagnet™ would definitely be a worthy investment.

With its powerful airflow and two positively charged pre-filters, this innovative air purifier is able to pick up and eliminate 99% of airborne dust before it settles into the most hard-to-clean nooks and crannies. It has been verified that the DustMagnet™ is able to clean a room that is 33 m² in just 12 minutes. You know what this means, less day-to-day cleaning for you to do!

#3 Paw parents

While there are many pros to having a furry companion at home, one of the downsides is dander, an allergen that sheds from their fur or feathers. Even if you’re not allergic to your pet, the dander stays on you, your clothes and your belongings, which can trigger reactions in other people you come into contact with.

If you want to be safe, having a DustMagnet™ can significantly reduce the amount of pet dander in your home by at least 99%. And if you have a household member who is allergic to your pet, having this air purifier is one thing you can do to make things more comfortable for them.

#4 Parents with young children

It’s normal for parents to worry about the health of their young children, especially with the ongoing pandemic. Besides eliminating dust and odours, the DustMagnet™ is also capable of removing more than 99% of viruses and bacteria in the air of your home.

For added assurance, the device is also equipped with a 5-step colour air quality indicator, which provides you with real-time information on the air quality in your home. It also indicates when it’s time to change the filters, which makes maintenance really easy for you.

#5 People living amongst smokers

If you have neighbours who smoke in their units, then having the DustMagnet™️ is one way of combatting secondhand cigarette smoke that sneaks into your home space. The activated carbon in the DustMagnet™️ filter can help to reduce unpleasant household odours and smoke, giving you cleaner air to breathe.

This handy air purifier uses HEPASilent™ filtration technology, which produces more clean air using less air pressure compared to traditional air purifiers. What this means is that the DustMagnet™ operates silently and is more energy-efficient - in fact, it consumes less energy than a light bulb!

The DustMagnet™ is retailing for $899 - $1099 at Tangs, Takashimaya, Harvey Norman, Best Denki, Mega Discount Store, and the Blueair official store on Lazada and Shopee. For more information, click here.
