Most Hepa filter units will filter out cigarette smoke to some degree, but will have virtually no effect on the removal of the associated smell. In order to remove any associated smell at all, the air purifier MUST have a carbon filter inside too. These are also known as activated charcoal filters.
The Bionaire BAP1550 Smokestop contains not one but two Hepa Filters and two Activated Charcoal filters offering the best possible protection with regards to filtering out both the smoke particles and the associated odours which if left to settle will eventually infiltrate your clothes, fabrics and furnishings throughout the home.
The BAP1550's unique filter combination removes 99% of the following contaminants:
- Tobacco Smoke
- Tobacco Odour
- Allergens
- Dust Mites
- Mould
- Pet Dander
- Traffic Fumes
- Virus
- Bacteria
Larger Air Cleaning Capacity and quieter operation for large or small rooms.
Powerful air cleaning and quiet operation do not usually go hand in hand with Hepa air purifiers, however the high quality fan inside the BAP1550 means that it will clean the air in rooms right up to 40m2, but is so quiet you will hardly know it is there. Using the BAP1550 in smaller rooms also has the added benefit of providing a greater number of air changes per hour, even on a low fan speed setting which is near silent, making it ideal for bedrooms too.

British Allergy Foundation Approval & Full 2 Year Manufacturers Warranty.
The BAP1550 is tested and approved by the British Allergy Foundation and comes with a full 2 Year Manufacturers Warranty. There are very few air purifiers in the UK marketplace which carry a 2 year warranty. Bionaire believe in the quality of their products and the happiness of their customers. Their after sales service is second to none.
Dirty Filter Indicator
It may seem simple, but air purifiers below £500 rarely have any indicator to let the user know when the filter is full. A dirty filter means your room is no longer protected from allergens and airborne contaminants, so it is crucial to know when to change it for a clean one. The Bionaire BAP1550 has an L.E.D indicator which lights up when it is time to hoover out the filter. You generally need to spend over £500 to find another Hepa air purifier with this feature.
'Invisible' Remote Control
There is also a really well thought out remote control for the BAP1550. The slick contours of the remote allow it to sit seamlessly ontop of the unit and become almost invisible. It is attention to detail like this that really makes the BAP1550 look and feel like an air purifier costing 3 times the price.
