Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Philips PureProtect Lite 700 ist ein leiser Luftreiniger fürs Schlafzimmer: Mit 180 m³/h reinigt er Räume bis etwa 14 m² gründlich, die Schlafstufe liegt bei 11 dB. Der Filter hält bis zu 36 Monate. Der Haken: Es gibt keinen Sensor und keine Automatik, und für ein Wohnzimmer reicht die Luftleistung nicht – die 75 m² auf dem Karton führen in die Irre.

Pros

  • Schlafstufe mit 11 dB, auch auf Turbo nur 42 dB
  • Filter FY0700 hält bis zu 36 Monate
  • Zieht höchstens 14 W, sparsam im Dauerbetrieb
  • Lichtring dimmt sich selbst und lässt sich ganz abschalten
  • ECARF-Siegel, Filter mit Pollen und Milbenallergenen geprüft
  • Kompakt mit 22,2 x 22,2 cm Grundfläche und 2,16 kg

Cons

  • Kein Luftqualitätssensor, daher keine Automatik
  • 180 m³/h reichen nur für etwa 14 m², nicht 75 m²
  • Timer, Zeitplan und Kindersicherung nur per App
  • App-Kopplung nur im 2,4-GHz-WLAN
  • Dünne Aktivkohle hilft kaum gegen Bratdunst oder Rauch

Der Shark NeverChange MAX ist ein reiner HEPA-Luftreiniger mit Aktivkohle, dessen Kombifilter bis zu fünf Jahre im Gerät bleiben soll. Er reinigt Räume bis etwa 25 m² ordentlich, aber nicht schnell, und passt zu dir, wenn du einfach einschalten willst. Der Haken: Der Sensor bemerkt leichten Rauch spät, und bei Rauch oder starkem Kochgeruch ist die Aktivkohle weit früher erschöpft.

Pros

  • Kombifilter hält laut Prüflauf bis zu 60 Monate ohne Wechsel
  • CADR von rund 320 m³/h reicht für Räume bis etwa 25 m²
  • Reagiert schnell auf Kochdunst und hält Pollen zuverlässig aus der Luft
  • Display und Farbring nachts komplett abschaltbar
  • Waschbare Vorfilter fangen Haare und groben Staub ab
  • Eco-Modus schaltet den Lüfter bei sauberer Luft ganz ab

Cons

  • Sensor bemerkt leichten Rauch spät, im Nebel erst nach 28 Sekunden
  • Leiseste Stufe bei rund 40 dB, Stufe 5 bis 70 dB
  • Aktivkohle bei Rauch oder Kochgeruch nach Monaten statt Jahren erschöpft
  • Ersatzfilter in mehreren Ländern zeitweise nicht lieferbar
  • Keine App, kein WLAN, keine Fernbedienung, dünnes Kunststoffgehäuse
