      Even With All Its Fancy Technology, the New Bissell Air Purifier Doesn't Cramp My Style

      AH, FRESH AIR

      From its lighted display to showcase the air quality to its sleep mode, this purifier looks good no matter where you put it.

      Wendy Rose Gould

      Living with two felines means I’m in a constant battle against dander, fur, and general smells (cat owners, you know what I mean). This is on top of all the regular gunk that low-key lingers in the air, including allergens, dust, pollen, and a multitude of other unpleasant particulates.

      Having just purchased a home, I figured there was no time like the present to finally introduce an air purifier into my space. I ultimately settled on the new Bissell Air320 Air Purifier, a modern-looking, bougie device that has brought me a ton of joy since plugging it in. (You know you’re firmly planted in Adultland when new household gadgets elicit all the heart-eye emojis.)

      This particular air purifier, though a splurge at $330, seemed like a great fit for a few key reasons. First, appearances do matter to me and there’s no shame in that. I’m not keen on introducing a large, clunky device into a room where I already invested in the aesthetic. It isn’t intrusive to my design and it’s lightweight, too, which makes it easy to move around if necessary.

      Second, the three-stage filtration technology is legit. The purifier captures 99% of “.3 micron particles or larger” from the air within a 1000-square foot area. This includes an activated carbon filter within a honeycomb structure that captures gasses and odors, a pleated high-efficiency filter that gathers dust, pollen, hair, dander, and other larger particulates, and a fabric pre-filter that doubles down on the above.

      Third, I’m all about seeing a product work before my eyes so you know it’s actually working. Bissell’s Air320 provides real-time air quality feedback via a number display on the front. The air reading ranges between 002 to 999, with the higher end indicating very poor air quality. When on auto-mode, the device will intuitively kick into more aggressive air-cleaning mode — say, when your bacon overcooks, you’ve got a fire roaring, or have kicked up lots of dust moving stuff around — in order to get that number back to a healthy level ASAP. 

      It’s relatively quiet as it filters the air, though the higher the number gets the louder the purifier becomes (it essentially sounds like blowing air). As a bonus, it has a “night mode” that eliminates the light from the number display and prevents it from getting louder than a whisper.

      Finally, this air purifier is super easy to set up and use. I dread the process of figuring out how to put a device together, but this bad boy comes preassembled. I literally took it out of the shipping box, plugged it in, and pressed start.

      The bottom line: if you’re seeking a high-quality air purifier that looks great, actually works, and isn’t going to give you a headache trying to figure it out, this product is definitely the way to go.
