Both units claim to deliver cool, clean air to a small environment – like an office, bedroom, or dorm room. Both are available online today at special discount offers.
Today, we’re explaining everything you need to know about Blaux and how personal portable air conditioners work.
What is Blaux?
Blaux is a personal air conditioner brand launched by Hong Kong-based ecommerce company Strong Current Enterprises Limited.
The company offers a range of filtration and cooling systems, including the Blaux Personal Fan and the Blaux Portable AC. Both units keep you cool using different technologies.

Blaux air conditioners are priced between $75 and $130 per unit, depending on which unit you buy (and how many you buy). The Blaux air conditioners appear to be made in China, although the company ships the air conditioners all over the world.
Blaux Air Conditioners
Blaux currently offers two flagship air conditioners, including the Blaux Personal Fan and Blaux Portable AC:
Blaux Personal Fan: You wear the Blaux Personal Fan around your neck. It directs air towards your body, cooling you wherever you go. Like other neck portable AC units, the Blaux Personal Fan is a battery-powered unit that directs cool air towards your body wherever you go.
Blaux Portable AC: Blaux Portable AC is designed for use at home. It’s a small, portable air conditioning unit. You carry it between rooms to provide on-the-go cooling. As a small, portable AC unit, Blaux Portable AC will not cool larger rooms, but it claims to cool smaller rooms in 30 seconds or less.
Both units are available to order through BuyBlaux.com, the official Blaux website. They are not available to order through Amazon or other online retailers.

How Do Blaux Air Conditioners Work?
Blaux claims its air conditioners cool and filter the air using charcoal filters and various cooling systems. The company claims its units provide constant circulation of clean, ionized air with no ozone, for example.
There are many low-cost air filters that clean the air via ionization. Typically, these filters ionize the air by adding ozone (a positively charged oxygen molecule) to the air. Blaux, however, claims to clean and ionize the air using another method without creating ozone – although it’s not clear how the company does this.
Blaux also claims to clean the air using natural charcoal. Charcoal is a popular air filtration tool used in many conventional filtration systems.
It’s no secret that activated charcoal filters cleanse the air. As Penn State explained in a recent study, charcoal filters remove impurities from air or water, and one pound of activated carbon contains a surface area of approximately 100 acres (40 hectares), giving it superior cleansing ability compared to other filters.
Charcoal works because of its unique ‘honeycomb’ molecular shape. The honeycomb molecules of charcoal attract negatively charged particles in the air, absorbing them and preventing them from polluting the air. Blaux claims to use a charcoal filter to remove harmful particles from the air like this. Over time, a charcoal filter fills with harmful particles and needs to be replaced. Blaux does not disclose how often its charcoal filter needs to be replaced, although the company claims the unit is purified with natural charcoal and comes with an optional scented charcoal filter.
Rounding out the Blaux air conditioner features is a night light at the base of the unit. That night light indicates the unit is on, telling you the Blaux is ready to filter and clean air in your home.

Blaux Personal AC

You charge the unit, then bring it anywhere in your home or office to cool you on-the-go. The unit claims to be easy to use and completely portable. It also humidifies the air, filters dust particles, and provides other benefits.
