Say goodbye to "Ewww... what's that smell??!"
By Marino Shauye
I tried the Smokestop filter for the Blueair 402 model, but these are the exact same, only different sized to accommodate the larger models. If you have any issue with odors or cigarette smoke, this is the filter to get.

I had an extreme situation where there was a methane leak in my neighborhood. The fumes were claimed by authorities to be "safe," but I and many other neighbors suffered from headaches, dizziness and nauseousness. The fumes burned at your eyes and it was pretty unbearable. Well, turns out this was to recur for the next few nights, and with no other place to stay, I invested in a Smokestop filter to temporarily replace my particle filter. It was INCREDIBLE. Immediately, all the fumes in the room were swept up by the Blueair and I was able to spend my time in this room with no health issues. (Whenever I left the room to another part of the house, all the previously mentioned symptoms returned.)

What's the difference between the Smokest op and the regular particle filter? This filter has a layer of activated charcoal that captures odors, and still has the familiar particle filtering layers, all built into one. Simple concept, and yes, a lot of other air cleaners have charcoal, but this one is specific to the Blueair and it's unique air-cleaning technology. After my experience with the noxious fumes in my home, I am completely sold on the effectiveness of this product. If you have any odor issues in your home, then spring a little extra dough for these filters. They are well worth the extra bucks.

works better than the particle filter
By AnthonyCA
The other regular particle filter version works great at filtering out dust. However, with this smokestop filter, it gets rid of odors and general outdoor smog that gets its way into your house. The room smells better after running it for less than an hour.

Plus: it makes the unit run quieter as the carbon filter section actually acts like a sound baffle to block out some of the fan noise. Usually with the regular particle filter, even on low speed for my 650E, I can still hear a whirling fan sound. With this filter, I can hardly hear it and can leave it on low for the whole night. With the regular particle filter version, when the electronic sensor would detect VOCs (volatile organic compounds)/odor, it would kick the fan on high and it would be a long time until the odor is diffused/lessened, for the fan to slow down. With the smokestop filter, the VOC/odor gets reduced in a few minutes and the cleaner does not stay on high for long.

Minus: i t reduces the airflow output. The carbon filter section actually restricts airflow quite a bit, I would say more than half the airflow is reduced. However, it still does its job. And of course it costs about twice as much as the regular particle filter.

In my opinion, if your blueair electronic sensor (on the 550E/650E models) detects VOCs/odors more than it detects dust, then this is the filter to get!

Great filter, wonderful air cleaner
By Melissa E. Davis
These filters with the charcoal clean, remove petrochemicals, remove odors. The Blueair Smokestop Air Purifier auto turns on even when I am removing nail polish in the room. Have one in my kitchen which takes care of cooking odors and garbage smells. Have been using for 3 years and all purchased on Amazon.
