Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First a note about the color-it is not really that beige like it looks in the picture, it's more of a nice off-white.
This is an okay model however it does not perform nearly as well as the next larger unit (402/403 models) both in terms of air filtering and quietness. While the 400 series is quite a bit larger, it actually takes up about the same floor space and affords you much better performance although looks more like a computer tower.
The 250E takes in air from the back and outputs it out the top, which means you can't place it up against a wall like you can with the 402/403 (which takes in and outputs air from the sides). You can place it 4" from the wall though. Also, because the 400 series is larger, the fan does not have to move as fast, which results in noticeably quieter operation, although the 250E isn't really that loud, it is not near silent at the lowest setting like the 403 is.
The 400 series also has a much more robust (thicker) filter. And, since the 250E outputs air out the top, you cannot put things like books on top of it like you could do with larger units.
This is not a bad unit for a small room though and the compact size is nicer than larger units. It does include a remote control and automatic sensor features, as well as a timer. However, I found that those don't really get used that much since you mostly would want to leave the unit on all the time and then manually turn it up when needed.
That said, the 402/403 unit is a lot larger and looks like a big computer tower. The 250E looks more appropriate for a small room/office and looks more like an air purifier. If you want something that looks a bit more discreet and your room isn't large, this 250E should suit you quite well indeed. You might also consider the Blueair 203W HepaSilent Air-Purification System, White which is a very similar unit for a lot cheaper, minus the remote control and automatic air sensor. Since you basically leave these on all the time and don't fool around with the controls that often, I think there is better value in the Blueair 203 unit.
