Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Beurer LR 401 ist ein kompakter HEPA-Luftreiniger für einen Raum: Mit 266 m³/h CADR reicht er realistisch für 21 m², nicht für die beworbenen 69 m². Im Schlafzimmer bleibt er im Nachtmodus unter 30 dB mit dunklem Bedienfeld. Der Haken ist die FreshHome-App mit Pflichtkonto und dünnem Funktionsumfang – am Gerät lässt sich aber alles Wichtige einstellen.

Pros

  • Filtert Partikel zuverlässig mit H13-Filter und Vorfilter
  • Nachtmodus unter 30 dB, Bedienfeld schaltet sich ab
  • Höchste Stufe mit 52 dB vergleichsweise leise
  • Alle Stufen und Modi auch per Tasten am Gerät
  • Kompakt mit 21,5 cm Durchmesser und leicht mit 3,7 kg
  • Solide Verarbeitung mit Stoffbezug und 3 Jahren Garantie

Cons

  • App startet nur mit Konto und bietet wenig Funktionen
  • Beworbene 69 m² beruhen auf nur 1,6 Luftwechseln pro Stunde
  • Mit 266 m³/h wenig Luftleistung für ein großes Wohnzimmer
  • Aktivkohleschicht zu schwach für Zigarettenrauch
  • Piepton bei jedem Tastendruck, Touchfeld sammelt Staub

Der Coway Airmega 100 ist ein sparsamer Feinstaubfilter für kleine Räume: In 18 m² senkt er den Feinstaub in einer Stunde um 93 % und zieht dabei höchstens rund 23 W. Für Schlaf- und Kinderzimmer bis etwa 20 m² taugt er gut. Der Haken: gegen Küchendunst hilft er kaum, und einzelne Exemplare fallen durch Schleif- oder Sirrgeräusche des Lüfters auf.

Pros

  • Senkt Feinstaub in 18 m² binnen einer Stunde um 93 %
  • Sehr sparsam: 23 W auf Höchststufe, 0,3 W im Standby
  • Partikelsensor reagiert innerhalb von fünf Sekunden
  • Schlafmodus mit 35,6 bis 40,3 dB leise genug fürs Schlafzimmer
  • Bedienung ohne App, Konto und WLAN
  • Günstiger Ersatzfilter, Wechsel ohne Werkzeug

Cons

  • Dünne Kohleschicht hilft kaum gegen Kochdunst und Möbelausdünstungen
  • Einzelne Geräte mit Schleif- oder Sirrgeräusch des Lüfters
  • Beworbene 20 dB erreicht keine Messung
  • Unter 45 dB bewegt nur Stufe 1 genug Luft
  • Tastensperre löst sich nach Stromtrennung oder Timer-Ende
