Hello, the remote control is your smartphone, you need the corresponding app to control the unit remotely and to display the air quality. There is no physical remote control.
Hello
Since this is a relatively new model, the filters will certainly be available for a long time. But you might want to contact phillips with this question. In any case, I can highly recommend this product.
Hello
Yes, the AC2887/10 also has a pre-filter, just like the AC2889/10.
According to Philips, the activated carbon filter is intended for the removal of odours and TVOC. I don't really know what exactly TVOCs are ;-) but they seem to be different gases. In any case, the unit works without the activated carbon filter. So you can simply leave it out and just install the HEPA filter and the pre-filter.

Hello,
Replacement filters are as follows:
Hepa: FY2422/30
AK: FY2420/30
You can find them at galaxus and others if you are looking for them.
I can only recommend them! I am very satisfied with the device
Hello Roland, the air purifier works with a HEPA filter which fulfils the class H13/H14.
As you mentioned, filters are standardised in Europe and are classified in filter classes 1-17. A high number indicates a high filtering capacity of the smallest particles. HEPA filters fall into filter class 13 or 14.
BIsher I had to clean the filter 0 every ~2 weeks (!), rinse it once with water and let it dry. I also clean the small sensor box and vacuum the two filters at the back.
I have not yet had to change the two rear filters (after 7 months of operation when I am at home, i.e. not at work).
Can anyone help me? I have been using the AC2887/10 for 16 months. During this time I have already had to change the white Hepa filter (display message A3). However, I have never had to change the black FY2420/30 activated carbon filter. I replaced the Hepa filter after the message A3 appeared. The message C7 for the activated carbon filter has never appeared, but the filter has long since reached the end of its service life (12 months according to the manufacturer).
Mine has already been running for 16 months. I reset the hepa filter after each replacement with the arrow and clock button. Am I doing something wrong? How can I now manually reset the activated carbon filter counter? Is that only possible if I reset the HEPA counter A3 first? Thank you!
This question cannot be answered exactly. Depending on how polluted the air is and how long the unit is in operation, it has to be maintained more or less frequently. You can see this quite well in the first filter. You can clean it yourself. So if the air is extremely polluted during round-the-clock operation. I would say that the carbon filter should be replaced after about 2 weeks. The EPA filter between 2 and 4 weeks. You can see the colour of the EPA filter. If it is nice and white, it is OK. If it gets a little greyish, you should replace it.
Hello, I only use this because of the smoking. I discovered the system in a coffee shop in Amsterdam. And had nothing to lose. I have a smoking room about 20m2. And my visitors say: "The only smoking room that doesn't smell of stale smoke".
Nevertheless, I leave the windows open from time to time. And the unit runs 24 hours a day at medium level. The unit is quite loud, so I don't use the maximum level.
I think it depends on how much you smoke and how often you change the filters.
There are probably 5 different modes, 3 of which are automatic modes (one of which is probably sleep mode).
I think the automatic modes are not suitable for virus filtering, as the air purity meter does not respond to viruses.
Especially for filtering viruses, it would be helpful if you could set the maximum fan power to 40, 60 and 80%, for example, so that you have the background noise "under control".
Besides silent mode and maximum mode, is there at least a 50% mode to reduce the background noise a little?
It is somewhat simpler in design:
- There is a sensor that measures the air pollution. It shows you this in ppm on the front display.
- there are 4 manual modes, which are assigned to a certain speed of the fans. Level 1 is slow, 2 faster, 3..., and at the end t = turbo where it is fastest.
- there are 3 automatic modes. In each mode there is a different load = speed curve. I.e. if the first automatic mode slowly revs up a little more at 20ppm, the middle mode is already at a higher speed here.
The names of the modes are... well.
I use it in my bedroom at night (with timer) against dust allergy. I always have it on medium mode. When the unit is running, it has a permanent minimum speed, but it's really quiet. Only if I shake out my blanket (for testing) does the fan go up.
I would say that if you really want to filter against viruses, this is the wrong device. But of course you can switch to a permanent level with the manual modes.
The PM2.5 value is supposed to indicate how much fine dust is in the air. In automatic mode, the speed of the fan is controlled by this value. See: https://www.philips.ch/c-f/XC000016982/was-ist-die-pm25-anzeige-auf-dem-philips-luftreiniger.
I put the air filter in a closed box with a window and let it run on turbo mode for a long time. The value quickly dropped to 13, but it never went below 13, even though the same air was being sucked in over and over again, so it should always get cleaner. I would guess that this is more of an estimate than a measured value.
