H-PURIFIER 300
Surprisingly Good

I've been curious as to how effective an air purifier would be in the summer for my hay fever, so I decided to give the H-Purifier 300 a try. Whilst I'll have to wait a couple more months to see that, I already am glad I have the device.
The Good:
The LED ring makes it easy to see the quality of air in your home. Green is good, amber for moderate, red for bad.
All things considered, it's pretty quiet. It's completely silent in auto mode when the ring is green - mainly because it has nothing to do other than monitor the air so the fan inside is off. Even when it kicks on for moderate air you can happily keep it only a few feet away and participate in zoom calls etc.
It has built-in handles on the side for easy carrying and is surprisingly light.
Setup and connection to WiFi was easy (not sure why so many have difficulties here. Perhaps I got lucky).
The Bad:
Overall, the app is terrible. Often it doesn't register clicks. At times it just plain fails to load certain pages. The air quality graph never populates so I don't have any info over the time spent using the device. It asks me to complete my pollen profile, and after spending far too long randomly clicking every part of the pop-up and it not moving to the next page, it randomly did one day. I completed the setup but the next day the pop-up appeared again asking me to again complete my pollen profile. Cue clicking circle of horror again.
Sleep mode is louder than automatic mode with clean air. As I mentioned previously, when the ring is green the fan turns off rendering the device completely noiseless. In sleep mode the fan stays on at a low level, even with a clean air room. This means it's slightly audible at all times - especially in the dead of night. Really, this mode should follow the auto mode in that it should turn the fan off when the air is clear but limit it to the slow sleep mode speed if it detects particulates to clean. The reason one can't just leave it in auto instead is that your bedroom is lit-up with the LED ring, leaving you to use sleep mode for a dark room.
Overall I'm happy I have the device but not sure I could recommend for the full £350 - perhaps wait until it's on offer.
