Blueair Dust Magnet Review - 6 Months Later

Dusting sucks. The Blueair Dust Magnet, a WiFi-enabled air purifier, promises to help reduce the amount of dusting you need to do, but does it actually work? And how much dust can this thing actually suck up from the air? We'll take you through our experience with the with the Dust Magnet after 6 months, how much less dusting we've needed to do and overall if we think the device is worth getting.

We'll also walk you through the Blueair mobile app, show you how it can connect to Alexa to smart home control, how long the filters in the Dust magnet are supposed to list, how to clean the pre-filters, things to keep in mind when placing your air purifier around the room and how the built-in particle sensors can help ramp up and down the fan as the air in your home changes.

Thanks for reviewing this product. The meaningful question IMO is how much more dust this removes than a more standard air purifier like Winix 5500-2, Coway Mighty, Levoit Core models, or even the other Blueair Pure models. As you pointed out that furniture not immediately next to the device didn't experience much removal which makes me wonder if this is effectively a gimmick that doesn't really matter that much in the long run over a more cost effective air purifier like the other ones mentioned

I also have the 411 Auto and absolutely love it! I’ve had it for a couple years now. I’m looking into this model now. Thanks for the video!

[AlyxAugust]

i had this and it sucked lol it literally did nothing special my dust amount in just a single room was no different after having this for like 2 weeks

[moltenbullet]

The shelf at the top is such an underrated design choice. I could totally imagine similar devices like the Xiao Mi purifiers having this so that it doesn't just create a dead space.

Now to find an excuse to tax-deduct about 8 of these. I despise dust.

Watching this review just made me conscious that I'm not only breathing but I'm also breathing in dust. Nice review though.

[Clevast]

Air Purifier really helps for dusting and will give you a lot of health benefits.

[cem_not_sam]

I believe you've inserted the filters in the wrong orientation. The arrows (which are hidden behind ribbons) need to be pointed upwards

[jackryan]

Whats the difference between a dust magnet vs air purifier?

[andrewk]

Costco has the Blueair 5415i. Is that the same as the 5410i?

[mattmdd]

Great video! I didn't realize I had to clean the trays. It had a lot of dust and dog fur after 6 weeks trapped.

[MineJulRBX]

There's more dust accumulating in a day than that collects in weeks. I need a serious magnet.

[xenmaster]

Would you recommend this over the newer model of the 211+? I’ve got 2 german Shepherds so my apartment is literally all dust. I can’t decide between this one of the newer 211? Any advice?

[journeywithbess]

Can you clarify if the fan on top blows air out like other air purifiers? Or does it actually suck air in to clean?

[RawFitChris]

From one to two weeks to two to three weeks? No thanks, not enough to validate getting one, regardless of price or maintenance.

[Pablito]

Great review! Thank you for the info. I just bought one. I can't seem to figure out how the filters are supposed to be inserted. I noticed that you installed the top one with the arrow pointing up and the bottom filter with the arrow pointing down. However, on Blueair's website it says to install them with both arrows pointing up. Are you certain that you installed them the right way? Thank you so much for your help!

[dffvdjy]

Thanks for the review...! While more expensive, I'm a big fan (no pun intended) of Austin Air's Bedroom unit -- I own two...!

[mrsully]

How do you reset the air filter replacement light when you already have extra air filters. Doesn’t let me turn it off in the app. Just lets me order more.

[victorcapetillo]

I watch several videos read the instructions on the website. Everyone including you have the filters incorrectly. The website says both filters with arrows pointing up. You're the only one I saw thst had the filter on top with arrow up. But your bottom filter has arrow down. Someone please

We use Levoit Core 300 Series air purifiers in my office space. They are $100. They use HEPA air filters and are also EXTREMELY effective at gathering dust allergens, smoke, and odors in a space. High-end air purifiers such as the one depicted in this video will certainly reduce or eliminate any dust build-up in your room. I can't stress enough how much I would recommend an air purifier such as the ones I use from Levoit or the one in this video.

Also, unless you have pets or leave the windows open, you don't necessarily need to leave an air purifier on all day, all the time. The air filters will last longer if used for less hours, and for at home use with no pets, a large filter can easily last a year, or well over a year before replacement.
