Aeris aair Lite Air Purifier: Trusted Review & Specs

Switzerland is not only the home of high-quality and long-established air purifier brands like Boneco and IQAir but also of microbrands as well. Aeris aair Lite is the entry-level air purifier of one company like that. But don’t take it lightly, as the device itself stays in the mid-range segment. Today, we will make an in-depth discussion in this Aeris aair Lite Review.

In short, the Aeris aair Lite is a good air purifier to get, especially if you love its design and origin.

Aeris aair Lite ranks B in our air purifier ranking list. We give the biggest and most thorough database of air purifier reviews in the world.

Aeris is just a small player in the competitive air purifier industry, but with Swiss origins, the company is charging its devices with high price tags. Today, I’m happy to deliver the first Aeris aair Lite Review.

Aeris aair Lite Price

We always have micro air purifier brands to compete in the low-range segment. It is quite reasonable because the cheap air purifiers will help the company secure the upfront cost easily.

However, Aeris approaches in a different way, as it chose the mid-range to high-range as its playfield. The Aeris aair Lite is exactly one like that, coming without discount, but it made a good impression for any users.

In Breathe Quality, we’re happy to be the first to deliver an Aeris aair Lite Review – an air purifier that is sold for $499 on the Aeris official website. This is the most affordable air purifier from this company at the moment, as the flagship is the Aeris aair 3-in-1 Pro.

However, in the mid-range segment, we have much bigger and better alternatives to the Aeris aair Lite. The Rabbit Air MinusA2, Oransi mod, Blueair Classic 405 and Airmega 300S are the perfect solutions when you need a smart air purifier with a high-quality air filtration system. Are you asking for cooling or heating functions? You should check the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool or Dyson Pure Cool Link immediately.

Other Swiss competitors can also be found in this price range, like the Boneco P400 and Boneco P500. They don’t offer the Smart Wi-Fi connectivity function, but with a high-quality air filtration system from an air purifier leader, you will be satisfied for sure.

Aeris aair Lite Design and Size

As a smart air purifier, Aeris aair Lite comes with a simple and clean design concept. You will get a cylindrical air purifier with nothing to block the air-cleaning process. However, as you can see, the Aeris aair Lite consists of many parts, all of which are of Swiss-made quality.

It isn’t as compact as common air purifiers in the low-range segment, as the height of the Aeris aair Lite is 18.5 inches. For the width, it is a bit chunky at 11.2 inches.

This air purifier comes in 3 different color options, and our today’s unit is the White, or Nimbus Cloud option. You can buy the Sailor Blue or Quartz Pink instead, depending on your taste. In addition, there are 4 other color options: green, pastel, red, and sandstone, for you to select on Amazon.

For example, below is your favorite blue option deal.

Aeris keeps the aesthetic design, seamlessly blending the ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) cover with fabric sleeves to make a simple preliminary filter for the air intake. The Aeris aair Lite also makes use of the bottom-to-top airflow system concept, with a simple (but obvious) 360° air intake.

On top, besides the air outlet, we have an intuitive touch panel with crisp LED lighting.

This air purifier has a total weight of 15.5 lbs. You can grab it anywhere in your house.

Aeris aair Lite Filters

To decide the performance of one air purifier, we normally check the quantity and quality of its air filters, including the types of air filters. Our Aeris aair Lite comes with a typical 2-stage air cleaning system.

1. Pre-filter – The Aeris aair Lite uses a F7 pre-filter in conjunction with the ABS cover and fabric sleeves treated with an anti-microbial coating to pick up large pollutants like dust and pet dander. This pre-filter adds zeolite for odor trapping.
2. True HEPA filter – Aeris aair Lite traps any fine particles as small as 0.3 microns with the H13 HEPA filter, having a high efficiency of up to 99.95%.

Aeris aair Lite has employed a H13 medical-grade True HEPA to do the air cleaning tasks. Like so many high-end air purifier brands, the True HEPA filter can remove 99.95% of all particles down to 0.3 microns in size, such as allergens, mold spores, mildew, bacteria, and fungi.

Again, I made a test for the Aeris aair Lite in a room of 200 square feet and under 1 hour. I chose the Oreck AirInstinct, Oransi Max and Aprilaire Allergy9550 to compare with our today’s Aeris aair Lite. The result was that Aeris aair Lite had an impressive efficiency of 99.93% for trapping any particles down to 0.3 microns. However, this result was still below the Oransi Max and Aprilaire Allergy9550.

The Aeris aair Lite needs filter replacement every 6 months. Make sure to use the genuine aair Lite filter set, which costs you $99.

Aeris aair Lite Room Coverage

The Aeris aair Lite, just like its name suggests, is suggested for medium- to large-sized rooms of only 350 square feet. If you want an air purifier for extra-large rooms, you should aim for the Aeris aair 3-in-1 Pro.

The ACH of Aeris aair Lite is 2X to 4X. This air purifier can clean your room as frequently as 4 times per hour.

The CADR of Aeris aair Lite is 185 cfm in general, which is quite low in mid-range and high-range segments. An air purifier with low CADR rating will take more time for a full cleaning.

Aeris aair Lite Sound

Aeris aair Lite marketed itself with its whisper-quiet operation. And to be honest, quiet operation is always the strength of a Swiss air purifier company, and Aeris is not an exception.

The average noise level when you run the Aeris aair Lite is only 35 decibels (dB), which is a lot lower than the noise from the library. On the lowest speed, the noise level is exactly like a whisper, so you can sleep comfortably and deeply without any interruption.

Even at its highest speed, the Aeris aair Lite is measured to have a noise level of only 55 decibels. It is audible, but you won’t be annoyed by such noise.

Aeris aair Lite Power Consumption

One of our most FAQs is “Do air purifiers use a lot of energy?” because we need to run an air purifier for a long time, and power consumption is really something to consider.

With a DC motor and low fan power, the Aeris aair Lite has an average power consumption of only 25 watts. Even if you run the air purifier at its highest speed most of the time, the rated power only reaches 50 watts.

If you run the Aeris aair Lite for 8 hours per day, you will need to pay from $9 to $18 depending on the most-used mode.

Aeris aair Lite Additional Features

The best selling point of this Aeris aair Lite lies in the smart features, which is also the reason it is in the mid-range segment. You don’t need a remote control because you can always connect with this air purifier via your smartphone’s app.

Aeris aair Lite has a Smart Sensor named Asense, which helps this air purifier track all indoor air quality and then adjust the fan power automatically based on the environment’s needs.

Like so many other air purifiers on the market, the Aeris aair Lite has a Sleep Mode, which locks the setting at its lowest and dims all the lights. It also provides a child lock to prevent any accidental changes of settings.

Finally, we have a LED indicator for filter replacement. Never use an outdated air filter.

Aeris aair Lite Customer Service

Aeris is just a new air purifier company, and its website doesn’t provide much information about customer service. If you have any questions, you should contact its customer service via the Contact Us page or live chat.

You can get a full refund without any reason for the first 7 days from the purchase date; however, you need to cover all the shipping costs. Or you can exchange the device within 30 days if it’s defective due to a manufacturing failure.

Aeris provides a simple 2-year warranty for its air purifiers, including the main components such as the fan, the body, and the Wi-Fi module. Remember that the warranty doesn’t cover malfunctions caused by misuse of the device by the users.

Our verdict

Aeris aair Lite shows how brave the Swiss company is. The company dares to enter the mid-range market without any heritage from the past. But its air purifiers are headed in the right direction, as the mid-range Aeris aair Lite has a high-quality air filtration system, an accurate sensor, and an overall good Wi-Fi connectivity function.

It isn’t all about the glory of Aeris aair Lite. For the price, you only get an air purifier with very low fan power. And even with such low fan power, both its noise level and energy consumption are too high. So to say, there are many interesting alternatives to choose over the Aeris aair Lite, especially when it is often unavailable.
