Great Air Purifier, the…

We have been using the Philips Air Performer now for around 2 weeks here’s what I found:
• Build quality: Excellent, its well-made and high quality. Magnetic remote holder is useful and easy to access.
• Noise: I didn’t find it noisy at all (it is also a fan some hum is to be expected). We didn’t have a problem sleeping with it even on the max setting.
• Functions: Its intuitive and the screen detects its dark and turns off so you don’t have bright lights in the room at night. No heating (would be good for winter). 350 degree rotation is great and its adjustable so you can have the air flow just were you want it. Remote is small but has all the main functions.
Purifying, so initially the air rating was 15 then it went to 1-2 and since its always been 1-3 so seems like we have pretty clear air here at the moment. Was good to know there isn’t much floating in our air ? Max fan setting is 10 and a Turbo setting (hold button for 3sec).
• The app, once you get it going and learn all the features is quite good. It has the weather of your local area and the surrounding air quality which is great. It could do with some refinement, like the firmware updates of device were not clear. It should just have a “check for updates” button but instead its very hard to find what version its on and to update you just turn it off for a while then plug it in but don’t turn on for 10min (all to complicated just put a button in the app).
It can take a while for the app to load the device and sometimes you need to shut the app down and try again. Also it takes a while after selecting a change for it to be reflected on the device (even on the remote some options take 30sec+).
No Alexa/Google yet.
• The manual that comes with it is a bit lacking, its very basic and pretty much just diagrams no words explaining the features but online you can get a full manual that explains a lot more (recommend reading this).
Overall, it’s a nice system and it’s a great size to really make a difference to the air quality. It works well and is currently helping my son sleep (he has allergies blocking his nose at night, so this is keeping allergens out). My only concern is that the device only has a on/off button so many of the features are only in the app and without the app you are limited to the remote (which cant do everything) so if the product gets discontinued the app will likely go as well and then you cant do a lot with it. (an app maintenance guarantee of 10-20 year would be a great :) )
