AIRROBO Air Purifier Family Review

Homekeeping 

Improving Air Quality In Your Home 

Dust and wind storms, pollen season, wild fire smoke, city smog. We’ve all thought about how air conditions like these might affect our lungs and impact overall health. But, as a mom with children, have you ever considered this? Even when members of the family attempt to escape unhealthful outdoor air by going indoors, the quality of the air we breathe inside our homes can still potentially make our kids and loved ones sick causing or aggravating seasonal allergies and other respiratory problems.

AIRROBO AR400 Home Air Purifier Review 

That’s where a quality air purifier, such as the new AIRROBO AR 400 True HEPA Air Purifier which just launched today, can make a difference to help filter out the dust, pollen and other potential irritants, improving the indoor air at home that your family, friends, and even pets breathe in.

A Mom Tests the AR400 Air Purifier 

For this hands-on review Mommy Blog Expert received the AIRROBO AR 400 from the manufacturer. I know as a mom of four in a family of six, each of us suffers from allergies to some extent. So I was excited to try this air purifier to see if it would help us. Out of the box, this took me less than 15 minutes total to read the directions and get this easy-to-operate air purifier up and running. 

MBE’s Thoughts on AIRROBO AR400 

• Includes a well-written user manual, with directions and diagrams that are easy to understand 
• Comes in stylish white to easily blend in with just about any décor style from traditional to modern 
• Arrives fully assembled, with a replaceable HEPA air filter already installed 
• Moving the air purifier room to room for use is easy, because the product is lightweight, weighing just over 7 lbs.
• Operates most efficiently and is specifically designed to stand directly on the floor or carpet, removing the household dust and pollen that mostly collects on the ground 
• Works well thanks to Tres Air™ Filtration technology which filters and blocks fine particles, more than 99.97% allergens, VOCs, and odors
• Runs quietly while sleeping or working so as not to disturb your usual routine
• Takes up minimal floor space thanks to its compact design, measuring a sleek 14.65”H x 8.7”W x 8.7”D

Set-up, Usage and Maintenance

After choosing a suitable well-ventilated location (such as a bedroom or home office) with adequate circulation space around the air intake vents and air outlet, all you do is insert the power cord into the unit’s back and then plug into a regular electrical wall outlet. Once plugged in, you push the power button to turn it on, then choose from three fan speeds (or the fourth fan speed called sleep mode), then set the timer (you can choose anywhere from 1 to 8 hours) for the desired automatic shut off time.

Cleaning and maintaining the AIRROBO is easy too: every 6-8 months when it’s time to remove and replace the 3-in-1 Filter, the Filter Replacement Reminder will light up on the control panel, then with a simple turn and twist to unlock the bottom you can take out the old filter and insert the new one and lock in with a twist.

More Tips to Keep Indoor Air As Irritant-Free As Possible 

• Read the product's user manual carefully before using your air purifier to get the most efficiency out of  it and save the directions for future reference
• Keep windows closed on high pollen count days and on days/nights when the air quality outside is unhealthful 
• Avoid excess dust accumulation on clothing, stuffed animals, and other clutter, by being sure to close closet doors and dresser drawers when not in use 
• Dust all surfaces and vacuum thoroughly and regularly using a good quality vacuum floor cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter to capture the maximum particulates from the air 
• Wash bed sheets, pillow covers and other bedding weekly using hot water which will kill dust mites
• Vacuum, wash or dry clean window treatments as often as required during each season
• Ensure your air conditioning and heating vents are well-maintained and cleaned as needed

Tastes of Maine in a Box - A Novel All-Occasion Gift 

   

Lighthouses, craggy rock shores, Acadia National Park and the rustic beauty of both the sea and the forest. These are just a few of the charming images that come to mind when thinking about the northern most state in the USA. Here's your chance to gift the foodie in your life or even yourself something truly wonderful: join me on a virtual culinary roadtrip around the Great State of Maine. Along the way, you'll get a peek at what's inside just one of the assorted jam-packed food and food-related boxes available from CrateFull of Maine, each filled with a variety of delicious and unique edible items, all from locally-owned Maine companies and shipped directly to you.

Ready for a Delicious Tasting Adventure? 

What's in this particular crate featured in this post will give you an idea of the wide variety and quality of novelty items you might expect to find in a CrateFull of Maine gift boxed set.

Now, allow me to be your personal tour guide as we head out on an imaginary drive to visit some Maine cities, towns, and tiny hamlets to learn about all the innovative goodies in the brand's CrateFull of Maine Breakfast Box I received to sample. 

A Guided Maine Foodie Road Trip

Starting in southern Maine not far from the Atlantic Ocean, our first stop is York, home of Stonewall Kitchen, makers of the Cocoa Sea Salt Caramel Dutch Waffle Cookie. A bit further north along the coast, our next pit stop is Kennebunk, near Kennebunkport, where Jarva Cakes bakes their scrumptious Dark Velvet Molten Lava Chocolate Cake.

As we turn northward following the eastern shores of the state, we come to the Maine Needham Company in Saco. This is where they've been mixing up fresh candy for 150 years made with pure Maine maple syrup like indulgent squares enrobed in chocolate. 

The city of Portland, Maine, is next. Coffee by Design the entrepreneurs behind Casco Bay Blend Ground Coffee; REDD Bar, makers of the Chocolate REDD Radiant Energy Bar; and Dean's Sweets, purveyors of Double Dark Hot Chocolate Mix, are all located here. Continuing up the eastern side of Maine you'll find the town of Rockland, where the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter and Maine Sea Salt candy bar is made by Bixby & Company. 

Now we'll head across the state going northwest toward the New Hampshire border until we reach our next stop, the town of Hiram, where Grandy Organics makes their wholesome Gluten-Free Oatmeal With Fruit. 

Then, we'll turn around and head back toward coastal Maine where we eventually reach the tiny hamlet of Northport (population 1,575), where The Scone Goddess mixes and packages their Mocha Chip Scone Mix. Just a short drive further north is world-famous Bar Harbor where the Bar Harbor Jam Company produces Maine Man Flavahs Blueberry Habanero Sauce.

Traveling inland next, we'll encounter the tiny town of Albion (Population 2,041), home to Swain's Honey which bottles their fresh Wild Blueberry Honey that is harvested in Downeast Maine, as the locals call it. Continuing west and driving deep into the woods is Maine Maple Products which produces Pure Maine Maple Syrup. 

After such a sweet natural treat, we again head east back to the coast, culiminating our tasting journey together in Eastport with something savory, slightly spicy, and good: Raye's Mustard where all-nautral Raye's Mustard Top Dog is crafted in small batches.

Sweet or salty, but always an adventure for the taste buds, The CrateFull of Maine Breakfast Box featured in this post is just one of the many Maine-inspired gift boxes available.
