Acer's New Product [acerpure cool] 2-in-1 Air Circulator and Purifier: Unboxing and First Impressions of the Brand's Home Appliance

Recently, the pride of Taiwan, acer, has been having a string of good news.
They are shaking up the market with a new home appliance series and have also announced that they will be distributing the PS5.
Although the stock price hasn't been performing very strongly, their competitiveness and performance are solid facts.
We look forward to more good news.

Getting back on track, I was so excited to see the media announcement that they were releasing new home appliances.
I am now able to experience this unboxing collaboration of the newly launched acerpure cool 2-in-1 Air Circulator and Purifier.
It is always good news to be able to play with new products.
I'm really looking forward to enjoying comfortable circulating air and experiencing clean, fresh air every day when I get home from work.

Received the product sent by the manufacturer, acerpure cool coming to town.
The outer box design is very nice, with a simple, understated, and clear color scheme.

The accessory kit contains

1. User manual
2. Remote control
3. Ag+ Silver Ion Anti-Virus Filter (Market value $600)

Please remove the insulating sheet from the bottom of the remote control before first use to power it on.

The main unit has appeared.
The iron-grey design combined with black feels quite premium.
Personally, I think the darker colors look better than the white version.
Just in terms of this color scheme and material.

As I was considering whether to put this in the living room or the bedroom, I started moving it around.
Let me start by saying that for this 2-in-1 purifier and circulator, 7.3 kg is fine for me to carry around.

Touch control display panel.
You can operate it directly via the touch panel or use the included remote control.
Basically, having a remote control is very convenient, so you don't really need to manually press functions.

The touch panel operation is quite precise, and I've been pressing the power button before leaving the house quite often these past few days.

But actually, with the remote, sitting on the sofa and pressing buttons is the most common usage scenario.

The material of the operation panel is plastic, and currently, it looks like there are some minor smudges or scratches on it.
That doesn't matter; this is likely because it's a review unit and not brand new.

Below is the purifier.
Above is the air circulator.
The bottom layer can be detached to replace the filter or to add the included Ag+ Silver Ion Anti-Virus Filter.
I will introduce this below.

It's a really special experience trying out this new model from acer.
At first glance, compared to other new models of this type in the market, I personally feel it has a slightly heavier plastic feel.

There is a screw hole here.
You can loosen this screw to disassemble the upper fan for cleaning.

Let me take it apart to show you how to remove the fan.

First, remove the single screw next to the fan.

Turn it clockwise according to the diagram.

Now you can see the fan.

Before taking it off for cleaning, you can look at the tightening/loosening diagram to operate it.
It can then be removed; a very simple process for removing the fan.

The body of the unit has the rated voltage and BSMI certification number.
It turns out the true model name is AC530-20G.
The power consumption is a rated 78W.

Before using it, let's disassemble it to install the Ag+ Silver Ion Anti-Virus Filter.

First, flip the bottom layer and you will see an arrow mark, indicating the lock and unlock icons.
Push it directly towards the unlock position.

After rotating it open, you can push the entire filter out as shown below.

Ta-da~ Here is the 3-in-1 HEPA filter.

Then take out the included silver ion filter to install it.
After opening it, you will see it is a roll-type filter, just put it on.

It should be wrapped like this, right?
When I used to add 3M filters to my air purifier, it was a similar concept.
If I put it on wrong, please feel free to give me suggestions.

Then put the filter back into the base.
Aligning it with the arrow mark makes it easier to push into the correct position.
Once in the correct position, just screw it back on.

After that, I started testing it for a few days.
You can first watch the video to understand the operational details.

When turning it on, the first thing to note is its main functions.
Look at the following panel for a quick introduction:

You will see two power icons on the far left.
One is the fan speed/volume, and the one below is the purifier power.

Icons from left to right introduction:

1. Purifier four fan speeds: Low / Mid / High / Smart
2. Timer settings: 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h
3. Circulator six fan speeds: Quiet / Low / Mid / High / Turbo / Silent
4. Horizontal oscillation switch (80 degrees)
5. Vertical oscillation switch (90 degrees)

The 2-in-1 purifier and circulator function is really convenient.
It perfectly solves the needs in my home.
It is recommended for spaces within 10 ping (approx. 33 sq. meters).

Here you can see a green light on the unit; let me explain, this represents the detected air quality signal.

• Green means Good
• Yellow means Moderate
• Red means Poor

However, I find this light a bit (slightly) glaring when the room is completely dark at night.
I hope the next generation of models will pay attention to the brightness of the indicators in the dark.

Because it's possible this size unit would be placed in a baby's room or on a child's desk to circulate air.
But if it's too bright, it will affect sleep quality.

Volume test at two fan speeds:
56dB (Turbo)
26dB (Silent)

It's about the same as a regular home fan and air purifier.

Besides using the remote control,
this is also a touch panel.
You can directly use your hand to select modes.

Thoughtfully designed with a safety lock mode.
Just press the fan power button for three seconds.
The system will enable the safety lock (you can see the indicator on the far right is lit).
This prevents accidental presses.

Let's take a closer look at its fan design structure.
Its air delivery distance is really quite far.
Through the spiral airflow design, when turned to the Turbo setting, not only is the airflow strong but it also reaches far.
Placing it in the living room allows for air to be sent into the study and bedroom.
It's very useful in winter when you don't want the strong wind blowing directly on you but don't want it to be too stuffy.

Officially it states the longest distance can reach 16m, which is really impressive.
You can freely operate the vertical 90-degree and horizontal 80-degree oscillation positions.

Enjoying comfortable airflow while purifying the air, breathing in clean air, and blocking PM1.0 and dust in the air.
This feeling is really great.
The company's product introduction also includes test data confirming that, per SGS testing, this product's filter can remove 90.86% of bacteria and 99% of formaldehyde in the air. Having professional agency test results makes it even more reassuring to use.

Also, remember to replace the filter regularly. Roughly once a year, the cost is around 1500 NTD, which is quite good.
The recommended replacement time for the acerpure cool 3-in-1 HEPA filter is 2000 hours (if used for 6 hours a day, it should be replaced about every 10-12 months).

The appearance looks quite good from a distance, right? The more I look at it, the more I like it.

When referring to product information, I found that for this acerpure cool, in an 8-ping space (approx. 26.5m2) with a ceiling height of about 2.8m,
at an airflow of about 25.1m3/min, it takes about 3 minutes to circulate.

This means that when you get home and turn on the air circulation and fan, you can have a certain level of air quality in about three minutes.
It's acceptable to take such a short time to complete a cycle; that's very good.

The weather in Taipei is damp and cold, and clothes often dry slowly.
If you have clothes that need to be dried urgently in the room for tomorrow, or need to quickly remove food odors,
of course, it can also be used for emergency rescue.

When I'm finishing cooking, in order to make the food smell dissipate faster,
I will also bring it over to blow for a while, so that the cooking odors can dissipate after eating, avoiding them affecting other rooms.
The 2-in-1 design is really quite convenient. Convenient enough that I move it around for use.
Sometimes in the room, sometimes in the living room, sometimes in the kitchen or bathroom—it's simply a functional household appliance.

Lastly, take a look at the unboxing video again.

Finally, summarizing my thoughts:

1. The 2-in-1 design is very suitable for consumers who do not currently have an air purifier at home.
2. There are quite a few fan speed levels, and the high-volume settings are powerful enough. No need to worry about weak airflow.
3. Placing it in the living room and blowing directly actually feels quite comfortable; it doesn't feel like the wind is too harsh and makes your head uncomfortable.
4. In terms of volume, basically, the 2-in-1 is quieter than having 1 unit + 1 unit, right? Decibels are 56dB (Turbo) / 26dB (Silent).
5. The design and color scheme feel premium, and the colors are nice. I also look forward to a version with a brushless DC motor design.
6. The air quality indicator light allows for clear discernment of the degree of air quality improvement. As mentioned earlier, I hope the brightness of the air indicator light will be considered for nighttime.
7. Because it's a new product, the price point is getting more attention. Generally, compared to competitors at this price range, it has strong pedigree, so I'm very excited to see if acer can carve out a path of its own brand characteristics in this segment. Go, pride of Taiwan!
