Our review
This super-smart and modern Resiners® Purair Tailored Air Purifier is very innovative and easy to use. It gave me, a resin crafter, confidence that my working environment is a safe, pollutant-free space.

I have been using resin to make jewellery and gifts for the last five years. Resin is a very fun and versatile medium to work with but it does contain volatile organic compounds (or VOCs) These VOCs are emitted into the air during the resin curing process and it's thought that exposure to these long term can cause various health issues including respiratory irritation, sore throats and potentially carcinogenic risks. 

I’m lucky that I have a large window in my studio to help with ventilation, but due to the awful British weather it's not always possible to keep windows open when mixing and pouring resin. That’s where Resiners® Purair Tailored Air Purifier is a game changer.

Overall score: 5/5

Pros:

Gives peace of mind that your working environment is safe

Fan keeps your workroom fresh and fume-free

Easy to use

Looks smart and modern and takes up little space

Cons:

Fan a little chilly in the colder months

A considered purchase due to the price

May arrive with a US or European adapter so will need to be used with a suitable UK visitor adapter

Summary

Resiners® have released the Purair Tailored Air Purifier that cleverly detects VOCs and helps filter and neutralise them. It detects harmful VOCs in real-time and helps filter them through its advanced HEPA filter. 

The filter also gets rid of any fine dust, allergens and pet dander that could end up in wet resin. It also has a powerful fan which has several speeds that help keep your working environment fresh and pollution-free.

How I tested

I put the resin machine in auto mode and mixed up a quantity of two-part resin. I then poured the resin into moulds and left it to cure near the machine.

Here’s how I tested the machine: 

Part 1

I placed the resin machine in auto mode so I could see how it worked effectively. TVOC levels were low and the air quality was good so the body of the machine was glowing green.

Part 2

I mixed my resin as required then started filling moulds. The resin machine was blowing air in 1st gear and was still glowing green. TVOC value had gone up to 0.206mg during pouring.

Part 3

When the resin started to cure the TVOC value jumped up to over 0.500mg. As soon as this happened the resin machine automatically switched to 2nd gear and alerted me of the environment change by glowing amber. This soon made the TVOC value drop sufficiently and return to safe levels and then the light was glowing green.

Key features

  • Modern, lightweight design
  • High-efficiency HEPA filtration
  • Multi-functional
  • Efficient fan 

Is the machine good value for money?

This machine is a considered purchase but if you use resin regularly, particularly in large quantities, it will give you peace of mind that your work area is fresh and toxic-free.

What replacement parts will be needed?

The filter will need to be replaced after approximately 2,000 hours. Depending on how often the machine is used it may need replacing every 4-6 months. The machine’s filter life indicator will turn red when the filter life falls below 10% (when you have about 200 hours left of use in it).

Is it noisy?

Not particularly. When the fan speed is in 1st gear it can hardly be heard. In 2nd gear, I was aware of it but I could still listen to my radio with no problem. The 3rd gear was the loudest but still bearable.

What does the machine look like?

It’s very modern and is made in a fresh, bright mint green. It features a leaf design all the way around it which glows when the machine is in use.

Anything else cool to share about the machine?

It is lightweight and has a single carrying handle towards the top so it can be moved around easily.

What’s in the box:

  • Resiners® Purair Tailored Air Purifier
  • Filter (packaged up inside the machine)
