Improving Air Quality In Your Home
Dust and wind storms, pollen season, wild fire smoke, city smog. We’ve all thought about how air conditions like these might affect our lungs and impact overall health. But, as a mom with children, have you ever considered this? Even when members of the family attempt to escape unhealthful outdoor air by going indoors, the quality of the air we breathe inside our homes can still potentially make our kids and loved ones sick causing or aggravating seasonal allergies and other respiratory problems.

AIRROBO AR400 Home Air Purifier Review
That’s where a quality air purifier, such as the new AIRROBO AR 400 True HEPA Air Purifier which just launched today, can make a difference to help filter out the dust, pollen and other potential irritants, improving the indoor air at home that your family, friends, and even pets breathe
in.
A Mom Tests the AR400 Air Purifier
For this hands-on review Mommy Blog Expert received the AIRROBO AR 400 from the manufacturer. I know as a mom of four in a family of six, each of us suffers
from allergies to some extent. So I was excited to try this air purifier to see if it would help us. Out of the box, this took me less than 15 minutes total to read the directions and get this easy-to-operate air purifier up and running.
MBE’s Thoughts on AIRROBO AR400
- Includes a well-written user manual, with directions and diagrams that are easy to understand
- Comes in stylish white to easily blend in with just about any décor style from traditional to modern
- Arrives fully assembled, with a replaceable HEPA air filter already installed
- Moving the air purifier room to room for use is easy, because the product is lightweight, weighing just over 7 lbs.
- Operates most efficiently and is specifically designed to stand directly on the floor or carpet, removing the household dust and pollen that mostly collects on the ground
- Works well thanks to Tres Air™ Filtration technology which filters and blocks fine particles, more than 99.97% allergens, VOCs, and odors
- Runs quietly while sleeping or working so as not to disturb your usual routine
- Takes up minimal floor space thanks to its compact design, measuring a sleek 14.65”H x 8.7”W x 8.7”D
Set-up, Usage and Maintenance
After choosing a suitable well-ventilated location (such as a bedroom or home office) with adequate circulation space around the air intake vents and air outlet, all you do is insert the power cord into the unit’s back and then plug into a regular electrical wall outlet. Once plugged in, you push the power button to turn it on, then choose from three fan speeds (or the fourth fan speed called sleep mode), then set the timer (you can choose anywhere from 1 to 8 hours) for the desired automatic shut off time.
Cleaning and maintaining the AIRROBO is easy too: every 6-8 months when it’s time to remove and replace the 3-in-1 Filter, the Filter Replacement Reminder will light up on the control panel, then with a simple turn and twist to unlock the bottom you can take out the old filter and insert the new one and lock in with a twist.
More Tips to Keep Indoor Air As Irritant-Free As Possible

- Keep windows closed on high pollen count days and on days/nights when the air quality outside is unhealthful
- Avoid excess dust accumulation on clothing, stuffed animals, and other clutter, by being sure to close closet doors and dresser drawers when not in use
- Dust all surfaces and vacuum thoroughly and regularly using a good quality vacuum floor cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter to capture the maximum particulates from the air
- Wash bed sheets, pillow covers and other bedding weekly using hot water which will kill dust mites
- Vacuum, wash or dry clean window treatments as often as required during each season
