Air cleaner BALLU AP-110 — device characteristics

The mod­el informs about the cur­rent state of clean­li­ness, can dis­in­fect the air from virus­es, and tells you when to change fil­ters. In the BALLU AP-110 review, we pro­pose to find out how the device cor­re­sponds to the declared advan­tages and price.

It should be imme­di­ate­ly clear that the puri­fi­er, unlike air wash­ing, is designed to per­form a nar­row task, it does not mois­tur­ize. It also cleans up more effi­cient­ly. Who is this device suit­able for? Con­ven­tion­al­ly, the cat­e­go­ry of users can be divid­ed into two groups: peo­ple with breath­ing prob­lems (aller­gy suf­fer­ers, asth­mat­ics) and ordi­nary users who want to breathe clean air.

Specifications

First impression

The device comes in a white glossy box. On the front part, a clean­er is depict­ed, on the side, the main fea­tures of the mod­el. Inside is the tech­ni­cal doc­u­men­ta­tion and, in fact, the device itself. Let’s start the review of the BALLU AP-110 air puri­fi­er with a descrip­tion of the dimen­sions: height 58 cm, width 17 cm, depth 21 cm. The device weighs 4.5 kilo­grams. Accord­ing­ly, it does not take up much space. This is a plus.

The mod­el looks expen­sive. On the front part there are holes through which the mod­el blows air at an angle of 20–30 degrees. The air intake is from the back. It is worth say­ing that the dec­o­ra­tive grille is made with high qual­i­ty. It also serves as pro­tec­tion against chil­dren.

As soon as you remove it, the device will stop work­ing. At first glance, the device is durable, the coat­ing is good, no defects were found. Now let’s talk more about what’s inside.

Design features of the cleaner

After remov­ing the grate, they found the fil­ter itself, packed in poly­eth­yl­ene. It, in turn, con­sists of a pre-fil­ter, a HEPA fil­ter and a car­bon fil­ter to remove unpleas­ant odors. A very use­ful thing if one of the fam­i­ly mem­bers smokes. Behind the fil­ter is an ultra­vi­o­let lamp.

It is worth not­ing that this struc­tur­al ele­ment is pro­tect­ed by a met­al cas­ing. Next, there is an ion­iz­er that sat­u­rates the air with anions. Accord­ing­ly, a total of 4 purifi­ca­tion steps are imple­ment­ed. In this case, the UV lamp and ion­iz­er can be turned off.

Above is the con­trol pan­el.

How is air purification done?

In fact, in the first stage of clean­ing, dust, wool, hair, skin frag­ments and oth­er large debris are caught by the pre-fil­ter. It is a fine mesh. Small­er debris, includ­ing pollen, com­bus­tion prod­ucts and aller­gens, is destroyed by a more advanced HEPA fil­ter. At the same stage, the car­bon fil­ter, like a sponge, absorbs unpleas­ant odors from pets and smok­ers.

Fur­ther, the air is dis­in­fect­ed by an ultra­vi­o­let lamp. How does it work? When bac­te­ria and microbes pass through a UV lamp, they are oxi­dized and bro­ken down into inac­tive trace ele­ments. This is a real­ly use­ful tool if there are chil­dren in the house. Espe­cial­ly in win­ter time or dur­ing peri­ods of epi­demics.

At the last stage, the ion­iz­er gen­er­ates neg­a­tive­ly charged ions. Why is this need­ed? In the house of every mod­ern per­son there is a lot of tech­nol­o­gy. Elec­tron­ics gen­er­ate pos­i­tive­ly charged ions, and this neg­a­tive­ly affects the well-being of a per­son. Accord­ing­ly, the ion­iz­er is respon­si­ble for the bal­ance of cations and anions in the house.

Control and operation of BALLU AP-110

First of all, it is worth say­ing that the device has three speeds of oper­a­tion. To cre­ate a review of the BALLU AP-110, we test­ed each of the modes:

1. Night — low pow­er, respec­tive­ly, the device works qui­et­ly, does not inter­fere with a com­fort­able rest;
2. Day­time — aver­age pow­er;
3. Max­i­mum pow­er — pro­duc­tiv­i­ty increas­es to 200 cubic meters per hour.

After turn­ing on the puri­fi­er, it works loud­ly for a few sec­onds, after which it switch­es to the mode that was used before the device was turned off.

With the help of the indi­ca­tor, you can con­trol the degree of air puri­ty. For exam­ple, after turn­ing on the device, the back­light lights up in orange. We turn on the max­i­mum pow­er, and after a few sec­onds we see already a blue col­or. In this case, you can switch from max­i­mum pow­er to auto­mat­ic mode. If nec­es­sary, the back­light can be turned off. For exam­ple, before going to bed.

Fil­ters are enough for 4–8 months. At least that’s what the man­u­fac­tur­er says. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, there is no way to ver­i­fy this per­son­al­ly, but there is no rea­son to doubt it either.

Our opinion on the Ballu AP-110 cleaner

To be hon­est, 2 days after using the device, there were doubts about its effec­tive­ness. The fact is that the fil­ter was com­plete­ly clean. A week lat­er, the white­ness dis­ap­peared: a lot of dust and small specks appeared. By the way, you can’t wash it. You can vac­u­um or wipe with a sponge. Now, I want to share my per­son­al opin­ion in the review of the AP-110 air puri­fi­er. Of course, being in the room, hard­ly any­one will be able to feel the result. But, if you turn it on and come to the room in just a cou­ple of hours, the thought already aris­es that some­thing is miss­ing. Anoth­er indis­putable plus is the ultra­vi­o­let lamp. If one of the fam­i­ly mem­bers gets sick, we turn on the device and min­i­mize the risk of infec­tion. For these rea­sons, it becomes com­plete­ly clear that such a device will not be super­flu­ous in the house. How­ev­er, the price is quite rea­son­able.

Conclusion

11 990 ₽

Thus, the device has an ade­quate ratio of price and qual­i­ty. At the same time, the pro­duc­tiv­i­ty of 200 cubic meters per hour pleas­es. That is, in 60 min­utes, the device dri­ves the air about three times. This is already quite enough to improve the micro­cli­mate in the room. Is it worth buy­ing? You decide. But it must be said right away that the qual­i­ty of the stan­dard of liv­ing with such a device is notice­ably chang­ing for the bet­ter. The less dust, the bet­ter breath­ing, health­i­er sleep. In addi­tion, the air puri­fi­er addi­tion­al­ly copes with virus­es and min­i­mizes the neg­a­tive impact of charged ions from elec­tri­cal appli­ances on the body.

The flow­er­ing sea­son is ahead, and for aller­gy suf­fer­ers, the Bal­lu AP-110 clean­er will def­i­nite­ly prove to be use­ful.
