Consumer product review of the air purifier Rowenta PU3040F0 PURE AIR with Nanocaptur+ filter
Rowenta PU3040F0 PURE AIR is definitely a good looking air purifier but is it also effective in cleaning the air at your house? Will try to answer this question, at least partially.
For this review we didn't just get a sample of this product but we bought the PU3040F0 PURE AIR purifier by hoping to improve the quality of the air at home.
Of course we wouldn't miss the chance to share detailed information about the product and we liked or didn't like so much.

Rowenta PU3040F0 PURE AIR - product specifications
The good thing as you can see from the specs is that the PU3040F0 PURE AIR is equipped with a full set of filters including the essential HEPA filter (not EPA which is less efficient).
The downside on the other hand is that eventually we will need to change these filters and we just checked the prices on the official Rowenta website... well, I will put it this way, they are not cheap.
For changing two of the main filters the bill will be over $100 if they are at all available to buy next year (when we guess they will need to be changed).
Rowenta PU3040F0 PURE AIR - performance
This is where we will share our personal impressions after using the Rowenta PU3040F0 purifier for a week. And lets be honest from the very beginning - we are not fully satisfied with the product and there 3 main reasons for that:
- Noise - this air purifier is very loud in all of its work modes except for the lowest fan speed. Even on automatic day mode it is very loud and we stopped using it. Instead of that we only use the night mode which has acceptable noise levels.
- Sensor sensitivity - we are not sure if it is just our unit or this purifier has very weak sensor. We almost never saw this thing changing its color as if the room we had it was the cleanest in the world. And believe me it was not clean at all - we left some smoke, dust, and even aerosols but the indicator was always showing blue, meaning that the air is clean. It was only when we took the dust bag from a vacuum cleaner and had it trashed around when the air quality sensor started to show red and purple, indicated that pollution levels are high.
- Filter location - all filters that the Rowenta PU3040F0 PURE AIR is using are located in the back of the device and that is where the air gets sucked in. That is quite rare to see in air purifiers since most of that are in front or front and sides. The downside here is that we need to move it even further from the wall in order to be effective. And who wants a standing object like this big in the middle of the room?
