(More customer reviews)First a note about the color-it is not really that beige like it looks in the picture, it's more of a nice off-white.
This is an okay model however it does not perform nearly as well as the next larger unit (402/403 models) both in terms of air filtering and quietness. While the 400 series is quite a bit larger, it actually takes up about the same floor space and affords you much better performance all the way around.
The 250E takes in air from the back and outputs it out the top, which means you can't place it up against a wall like you can with the 402/403 (which takes in and outputs air from the sides). the 250E also does not charge the particles (so that they better stick to the filter) before hitting the filter like the higher models do. I'm pretty sure the design of the 250E is not nearly as effective and this has been my observation using both units The air seems cleaner and even more fresh with the Blueair 403 that I have. Also, because the 400 series is larger, the fan does not have to move as fast, which results in noticeably quieter operation, although the 250E isn't really that loud, it is not near silent at the lowest setting like my 403 is.
The 400 series also has a much more robust (thicker) filter. And, since the 250E outputs air out the top, you cannot put things like books on top of it like you could do with larger units.
This is not a bad unit for a small room. It does include a remote control and automatic sensor features, as well as a timer. However, I found that those don't really get used that much since you mostly would want to leave the unit on all the time and then manually turn it up when needed. The fact that the room was dustier with this unit than with my Blueair 403, and also didn't seem quite as nice and fresh, signifies to me that it does not perform nearly as well and it may be worth the extra money for a 400 series-it's just more effective and quiet all the way around.
That said, the 402/403 unit is a lot larger and looks like a computer tower. If you want something that looks a bit more discreet and your room isn't huge, this 250E should suit you quite well indeed.
