Bimar Air Purifier PA98 (White, WiFi Enabled)

What room size does the PA98 effectively clean?

The PA98 is designed for rooms up to 20 square metres. With its 125 m³/h CADR rating, it can cycle the air in a 20m² room approximately 3-4 times per hour, which meets recommended air purifier performance standards. For larger rooms, the unit will still work but may take longer to achieve optimal air quality.

How often do I need to replace the filters?

Filter replacement depends on usage and air quality conditions. The smartphone app monitors filter life and provides replacement notifications based on actual usage hours and air flow resistance. Typically, HEPA filters last 6-12 months with regular use, whilst pre-filters may need more frequent cleaning or replacement every 3-6 months.

Can I control the purifier when I'm not at home?

Yes, the WiFi connectivity allows full remote control through the smartphone app from anywhere with internet access. You can turn the unit on before arriving home, adjust settings whilst away, or monitor filter status remotely. The app maintains connection as long as both your phone and the purifier have internet access.

Is the PA98 suitable for people with severe allergies?

The HEPA H13 filter captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, including common allergens like pollen, dust mites and pet dander. The activated carbon layer also removes odours and chemical irritants. However, people with severe allergies should consult healthcare professionals about air purifier effectiveness for their specific conditions.

How loud is the purifier during normal operation?

The PA98 operates quietly, especially in night mode which is designed for bedroom use. At maximum speed, the fan produces noticeable sound but remains reasonable for daytime use. Medium speeds offer a good balance between cleaning performance and noise levels. Customer reviews consistently mention the quiet night mode operation.

What voice commands work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Basic voice commands include turning the purifier on/off, adjusting fan speeds and checking operational status. You can say "Alexa, turn on the air purifier" or "Hey Google, set air purifier to maximum speed". More advanced scheduling and detailed settings typically require the smartphone app rather than voice commands.

Does the purifier have any air quality sensors?

The PA98 does not include built-in air quality sensors or automatic mode based on detected pollution levels. Operation relies on manual control through the app or voice commands, or pre-set schedules. The unit runs at selected speeds rather than automatically adjusting based on current air quality conditions.

What maintenance does the PA98 require besides filter changes?

Regular maintenance involves cleaning the exterior with a soft cloth and occasionally wiping the air intake and outlet areas. The pre-filter can sometimes be gently cleaned to extend its life, though replacement is eventually necessary. The app tracks filter condition and provides maintenance reminders, making upkeep straightforward.
