Why it matters
The Blueair Blue Pure 511i Max Smokeblock Filter is a maker-original filter for the Blueair Blue Pure 511i Max.
Made for Blueair's Blue Pure 511i Max purifiers. The model label is usually on the back or under the filter door; match it before ordering.
Replacement interval, per the maker: every 9 months. Smoke, pets and heavy use shorten that; a filter that looks gray on the intake side is due.
SmokeBlock is Blueair's version with more carbon, aimed at smoke and odors.
It fits the Blueair Blue Pure 511i Max, which its maker lists as rated for 237 sq ft. A unit that runs on high in a large room loads its filter faster than the same unit on low in a bedroom.
Use the filter made for your exact unit: purifier filters seal against their own housing, and a close-but-different filter lets air bypass the media.
Compared with the Blueair Blue Pure 511 Particle + Carbon Filter: replacement interval every 9 months here vs every 6 months.
