General Questions

Questions about what the Air Balance does, how it helps, and the technology inside.

Yes, the Rolfstone Air Balance is highly suitable for people with allergies such as hay fever, asthma and a house dust mite allergy. The device is equipped with a powerful HEPA-13 filter, which removes at least 99.97% of fine particles from the air – including:

  • Pollen (which cause hay fever symptoms)
  • House dust mites and their droppings
  • Mould spores
  • Pet dander
  • Fine dust and other allergens

By filtering these allergens from the air, the Air Balance helps to reduce symptoms such as sneezing, shortness of breath, watery eyes or wheezing.

Note: For many people, the Air Balance helps to reduce symptoms, but complaints such as sneezing or shortness of breath may also have causes other than air quality – such as infections, respiratory conditions or food allergies.

You can try the Air Balance for 30 days. Not for you after all? Then you can simply and return it free of charge by submitting a return request.

The Air Balance can help to reduce symptoms in COPD, but it is not a replacement for medical treatment. COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) makes the lungs particularly sensitive to fine dust, pollen, smoke, mould spores and other irritants in the air. The Air Balance is equipped with a HEPA-13 filter that removes at least 99.97% of fine particles from the air, helping to ease the burden on the airways.

For many users this leads to:

  • Less irritation of the airways
  • Reduced coughing or breathlessness caused by indoor air pollution
  • Better sleep in a cleaner environment

Note: the effect varies from person to person. For some, cleaner air provides clear relief of symptoms, while for others the effect is less noticeable.

You can try the Air Balance for 30 days. Not for you after all? Then you can simply and return it free of charge by submitting a return request.

Yes, absolutely. Even without allergies or respiratory problems, the Air Balance can noticeably improve the air quality in, for example, your bedroom. While sleeping, you breathe the same air for hours, often with the windows closed and limited ventilation. The Air Balance removes invisible pollution such as fine dust, mould spores and pollen from the air, creating a fresher sleeping environment.

For many users this leads to:

  • A fresher, cleaner feeling upon waking
  • Less dry throat or blocked nose in the morning
  • Calmer breathing during the night
  • A more pleasant atmosphere in the bedroom, especially with closed windows
  • Less dust settling on furniture and surfaces

Even without complaints, clean air contributes to a better night’s sleep and a more pleasant start to your day.

Does it use an ioniser?

❌ No ioniser – deliberately avoided due to ozone and health concerns

  • Ozone production is harmful: Ionisers can emit ozone. Although usually in small amounts, ozone can cause airway irritation in sensitive people (such as asthma patients).
  • Health authorities warn against it: Organisations such as the RIVM and the WHO advise against using ionisers in enclosed spaces because of these health risks.
  • Little added value: The HEPA-13 filter in the Air Balance is already highly effective – including against viruses and bacteria – so an ioniser provides hardly any extra benefit.
  • More maintenance: Ionisers cause dust particles to settle inside the device or on surfaces. These must be cleaned regularly to maintain effectiveness. Without proper maintenance, efficiency decreases and ozone emissions may increase.
  • Extra costs and risk of defects: An ioniser is an additional component that can wear out or fail. This increases the risk of malfunctions and leads to extra costs for replacement or repair.

❌ No UV lamp – deliberately avoided due to limited effect and added value. 

  • Limited effect in air purification: UV-C light can kill micro-organisms, but it requires a high dose and sufficient contact time. In compact air purifiers, air often flows past the lamp too quickly to be effective.
  • Little added value: The HEPA-13 filter in the Air Balance is already highly effective – including against viruses and bacteria – so a UV lamp adds hardly any benefit.
  • Lamps wear out and need replacing: UV-C lamps lose strength over time and must be replaced regularly to remain effective – something users often forget or do not do.
  • Extra costs and maintenance: A UV lamp makes the device more complex and involves recurring costs – due to higher power consumption and because the lamp must be replaced periodically to remain effective.

No, the Air Balance is not a humidifier.

  • The Air Balance does not blow out cold or warm air.
  • The device does not function as a humidifier.
  • The Air Balance is not suitable for use with oils.

No, the device is not an air conditioner or a heat source.

❌ No app control – deliberately omitted for simplicity, privacy and reliability

Our air purifiers are deliberately designed without app control. This makes the device easier to use, safer for your privacy and completely independent of your phone or software updates. Everything works straight out of the box – without installation, account or connection. What’s more, operation is so intuitive that for many users an app would actually be unnecessarily complicated. This way, use remains accessible, straightforward and reliable for everyone.

About the filter

Questions about the HEPA-13 filter in the Air Balance.

  • The Air Balance comes with a HEPA filter included.
  • The filter lasts approximately 6–8 months.
  • Clean the filter every few weeks using a vacuum cleaner.
  • A new filter costs £24 including shipping.
  • Filters can be ordered at www.rolfstone.com

Our air purifiers are equipped with a HEPA-13 filters, which block at least 99.97% of all polluting particles. In addition, the device contains an activated carbon filter, which helps to reduce unpleasant odours.

See below “What is a HEPA filter?” for more information.

A HEPA filter is a specialised air filter designed to remove very small particles from the air. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air, meaning a highly efficient air filtration system.
HEPA filters can remove up to 99.97% of fine airborne particles, including dust, pollen, mould spores, and other invisible pollutants.

Our air purifiers use a 3-stage filtration system:

  1. Pre-filter: the outer layer captures larger particles such as visible dust, hair, and pet dander.
  2. HEPA H13 filter: this layer removes very small airborne particles, including fine dust, pollen, bacteria, and other microscopic pollutants. It offers HEPA H13-level filtration, removing up to 99.97% of particles.
  3. Activated carbon filter: the third layer helps reduce odours and smoke particles, such as cooking smells and cigarette smoke.

Use & Functionality

Information on how the Air Balance works, what you can do with it, and how to use it.

Important

The filter inside the air purifier is wrapped in plastic to keep it clean and dry during manufacturing and transport. It is very important to remove the plastic packaging from the filter before using the air purifier for the first time!

Step 1

Turn the air purifier upside down so that the base with the feet is facing upwards. You may wish to place it on a soft surface to prevent scratches. On the edge of the bottom cover, you will find an arrow pointing to the CLOSE position. Turn the bottom cover anti-clockwise from CLOSE to OPEN to release it.

Step 2

Remove the filter from the air purifier and take off the plastic wrapping.

Step 3

Place the filter back into the air purifier.

Step 4

Reattach the bottom cover to the air purifier with the arrow pointing to OPEN. Then, turn it clockwise towards CLOSE. When you hear a click, the bottom cover is securely in place.

The light on top of the air purifier automatically indicates how clean the air is.

  • Colour
  • Air quality
  • Fan speed
  • Blue
  • Excellent air quality
  • Sleep mode
  • Green
  • Good air quality
  •  1 (low) 
  • Orange
  • Poor air quality
  • 2 (medium)
  • Red
  • Heavily polluted air
  • 3 (high)

When set to ‘Auto’, the air purifier responds automatically if the surrounding air becomes polluted enough to pose a potential health risk. In most cases, the indicator will remain blue, meaning the air is kept clean at a low fan speed. Since the air quality is not immediately concerning, there is no need for the purifier to switch to a higher setting.

When you switch on the Air Balance it will remain on until you turn it off yourself.

However, there is also a timer function that allows you to set the operating time. Select one of the options below, and the device will switch off automatically after the chosen duration:

  • 2 hours
  • 4 hours
  • 8 hours

Yes, the purification is automatically controlled when the air purifier is set to the automatic mode!
The device has a built-in sensor that constantly monitors the air quality. When it detects increased air pollution, it will automatically switch to the appropriate fan speed.
As the pollution decreases through air filtration, the purifier will automatically return to a lower fan speed.

  • The Air Balance provides effective air purification in spaces up to , ideal when you want noticeably cleaner air quickly, for example if you suffer from allergies.
  • If you let it run in the background, it also keeps spaces up to continuously fresh and balanced. That way, you can enjoy clean air all day without having to think about it.
  • Examples: bedroom, children’s room, home office, small living room, attic, garden shed

The Air Balance air purifier features a quiet sleep mode, ideal for an undisturbed night’s rest while keeping the air clean. When you increase the fan speed, it naturally becomes louder, as is the case with all air purifiers, but the higher settings are usually only needed for short periods.

The Air Balance has very low power consumption, so you can easily use it throughout the night without worrying about energy costs.

  • Width: 21.5 cm
  • Depth: 21.5 cm
  • Weight: 2.9 kg

1. The best placement for the Air Purifier

In general, it’s best to place the air purifier near the main source of pollution. Think, for example, near a fireplace, where pets stay, or by a frequently opened door. If the source of pollution is not clear, you can place the air purifier close to the person who benefits most from clean air.

Make sure the air purifier has enough space around it. Keep at least 20 cm distance from the wall and 40 cm from other objects to allow it to clean the room effectively.

Do not place the Air Balance too high. Ideally, place it on the floor or no higher than 40 cm.

The Air Balance must be placed on a flat, stable surface so that all feet are in contact with the ground. This prevents vibration noise.

2. Keep doors and windows closed, but ensure fresh air

If doors and windows are left open too often, the cleaned air will escape or new pollution may enter. The Air Balance works best in a semi-enclosed space where the existing air is continuously purified.

However, don’t forget to ventilate the room properly. The Air Balance does not produce fresh oxygen, this must come from outside. For example, in the bedroom, it’s fine to leave the window and door slightly open.

3. Keep the Air Balance running

Set the air purifier to automatic mode or manually select the setting that feels most comfortable. Because of open doors and dust stirred up by people and pets, there is always new pollution in the air.

Leaving the purifier on helps keep the air cleaner and more stable. If you’re away from the room for an extended period (such as during the night), you can of course switch it off.

4. Clean the air purifier and filter regularly

See also page 8. By vacuuming the outside of the filter and the inside of the filter housing regularly, the filter will last longer and the air purifier will perform better. Do not clean the filter with water or any other liquid.

5. Bedroom

If you’d like to start the night with very clean air in the bedroom, switch the Air Balance to its highest setting about 2 hours before bedtime. Close the bedroom door and, if you wish, leave the window slightly open. This gives the Air Balance enough time to filter the air multiple times through the HEPA filter. Before going to sleep, you can reopen the door and window and optionally switch the Air Balance to sleep mode.

You can also apply this tip in the living room when you’re away for a bit and the sound of the higher fan speed won’t disturb anyone.

6. Extra clean

If you want to keep the room extra clean or you suffer from allergy symptoms even with low levels of pollution, don’t use the automatic mode. Instead, choose a higher setting manually.

7. After vacuuming

While vacuuming, small dust particles may escape back into the air from the vacuum cleaner’s outlet. Although this isn’t harmful to your health, it can aggravate allergy symptoms. If this happens, switch the air purifier to its highest setting after vacuuming to quickly clean the air again.

8. While cooking

When cooking, it’s of course important to use the extractor hood. However, that’s often not enough to eliminate all cooking smells. In that case, temporarily set the Air Balance to a higher setting — the carbon filter will greatly reduce odours.

It’s important to note that cooking smells and steam released during cooking are harmless. The Air Balance does not detect this as polluted air and therefore won’t automatically increase its fan speed. However, if something burns and the unit is nearby and set to ‘Auto’, the Air Balance will react quickly.

9. Give it a bit of time

The best way to use the air purifier can vary from person to person. Some people run the Air Balance all day on auto mode, while others, due to allergies, prefer a higher manual setting. Take a bit of time to discover what works best for you and what you feel most comfortable with.

10. If the air quality indicator often shows blue

As explained on page 5, the Air Balance responds in automatic mode when the surrounding air is polluted to a level that may pose a health risk. If this is not the case, the purifier will remain on the blue setting. In this mode, the air is still being cleaned to prevent it from gradually becoming more polluted.

However, if you suffer from allergies, even very low levels of pollution can be problematic. In such cases, you can manually set the Air Balance to a higher speed or use the method described in tip 5.

11. What doesn’t get dirty doesn’t need to be cleaned

No matter how well an air purifier works, it’s even better for your indoor air quality (and your health) to minimise air pollution in the first place. Here are a few tips to help improve the air quality in your home:

  • Avoid opening windows and doors too widely when the Air Balance is on (see also tip 2 on page 9). This prevents clean air from escaping and dirty air from entering easily.
  • Dust that has settled on surfaces will not be removed by the air purifier. Regular vacuuming and dusting helps to get rid of it. Don’t forget to clean under beds and furniture. Use a microfibre cloth when dusting, as it traps dust more effectively. Afterwards, set the Air Balance to its highest setting for a while to remove the fine dust that may have been stirred back into the air (for example, through the vacuum cleaner’s outlet).
  • Avoid placing piles of clean laundry in rooms where you spend a lot of time, such as the bedroom. Also avoid folding or ironing laundry in such spaces. Many fabrics release fibres easily, which you’ll notice as fluff on the floor or fine particles floating in the air.
  • It’s important to wash your bedding regularly, especially if you suffer from allergies. House dust mites like to settle in beds and leave behind residue that dries out and breaks down into tiny airborne particles. Wash bedding at 60°C to kill the mites.
  • Curtains, carpets, and fabric upholstery not only trap dust easily, they also generate it. When you open the curtains or sit on the sofa, dust particles are released into the air. Of course, that’s what the air purifier is for — but if this triggers strong allergy symptoms, consider using materials that trap less dust. Think of smooth flooring like wood, laminate or PVC, and roller blinds or slatted blinds instead of fabric curtains.

The Rolfstone air purifiers come with a two-year warranty, which starts automatically from the date of purchase. No warranty registration is required.

If you experience any issues within this period that are not the result of improper use or external damage, please contact our customer service team at service@rolfstone.com.

Yes, absolutely. Even if you don’t suffer from allergies or respiratory conditions, the Air Balance XL can noticeably improve the air quality in your living room. On average, people spend around 6 hours a day in their living room, breathing the same indoor air—especially when windows are kept closed and ventilation is limited. The Air Balance XL removes invisible pollutants such as fine dust, mould spores, and pollen, helping to create a fresher indoor environment.

Many users notice:

  • A fresher and cleaner indoor environment
  • Less dry throat or nasal congestion
  • A more pleasant atmosphere, especially when ventilation is limited
  • Less dust settling on furniture and other surfaces

Even if you don’t have any symptoms, cleaner air can make your living room a more comfortable place to spend time.

You can try the Air Balance XL for 30 days. If it’s not right for you, simply submit a return request and return it free of charge.

❌ No ioniser – deliberately avoided due to ozone and health concerns

  • Ozone production is harmful: Ionisers can emit ozone. Although usually in small amounts, ozone can cause airway irritation in sensitive people (such as asthma patients).
  • Health authorities warn against it: Organisations such as the RIVM and the WHO advise against using ionisers in enclosed spaces because of these health risks.
  • Little added value: The HEPA-13 filter in the Air Balance is already highly effective – including against viruses and bacteria – so an ioniser provides hardly any extra benefit.
  • More maintenance: Ionisers cause dust particles to settle inside the device or on surfaces. These must be cleaned regularly to maintain effectiveness. Without proper maintenance, efficiency decreases and ozone emissions may increase.
  • Extra costs and risk of defects: An ioniser is an additional component that can wear out or fail. This increases the risk of malfunctions and leads to extra costs for replacement or repair.

❌ No UV lamp – deliberately avoided due to limited effect and added value. 

  • Limited effect in air purification: UV-C light can kill micro-organisms, but it requires a high dose and sufficient contact time. In compact air purifiers, air often flows past the lamp too quickly to be effective.
  • Little added value: The HEPA-13 filter in the Air Balance is already highly effective – including against viruses and bacteria – so a UV lamp adds hardly any benefit.
  • Lamps wear out and need replacing: UV-C lamps lose strength over time and must be replaced regularly to remain effective – something users often forget or do not do.
  • Extra costs and maintenance: A UV lamp makes the device more complex and involves recurring costs – due to higher power consumption and because the lamp must be replaced periodically to remain effective.

No, the device is not an air conditioner or a heat source.

❌ No app control – deliberately omitted for simplicity, privacy and reliability

Our air purifiers are deliberately designed without app control. This makes the device easier to use, safer for your privacy and completely independent of your phone or software updates. Everything works straight out of the box – without installation, account or connection. What’s more, operation is so intuitive that for many users an app would actually be unnecessarily complicated. This way, use remains accessible, straightforward and reliable for everyone.

About the filter

Questions and information about the HEPA H13 filter in the Air Balance XL.

  • The Air Balance comes with a HEPA filter included.
  • The filter lasts approximately 6–8 months.
  • Clean the filter every few weeks using a vacuum cleaner.
  • A new filter costs £48 including shipping.
  • Filters can be ordered at www.rolfstone.com

Our air purifiers are equipped with a HEPA-13 filters, which block at least 99.97% of all polluting particles. In addition, the device contains an activated carbon filter, which helps to reduce unpleasant odours.

See below “What is a HEPA filter?” for more information.

A HEPA filter is a specialised air filter designed to remove very small particles from the air. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air, meaning a highly efficient air filtration system.
HEPA filters can remove up to 99.97% of fine airborne particles, including dust, pollen, mould spores, and other invisible pollutants.

Our air purifiers use a 3-stage filtration system:

  1. Pre-filter: the outer layer captures larger particles such as visible dust, hair, and pet dander.
  2. HEPA H13 filter: this layer removes very small airborne particles, including fine dust, pollen, bacteria, and other microscopic pollutants. It offers HEPA H13-level filtration, removing up to 99.97% of particles.
  3. Activated carbon filter: the third layer helps reduce odours and smoke particles, such as cooking smells and cigarette smoke.

Use & functionality

How the Air Balance XL works, what it can do, and how to use it.

Important

The filter inside the air purifier is wrapped in plastic to keep it clean and dry during manufacturing and transport. It is very important that the plastic wrapping is removed from the filter before first use!

Step 1

Place the unit upside down on a soft surface to prevent scratches. Hold the handle on the base plate firmly and pull it upwards.

Step 2

Remove the filter from the air purifier and remove the plastic film.

Step 3

Place the filter back into the air purifier.

Step 4

Refit the base plate onto the air purifier and make sure it is securely closed.

The light on top of the air purifier automatically indicates how clean the air is.

  • Colour
  • Air quality
  • Fan speed
  • Blue
  • Excellent air quality
  • Sleep mode
  • Green
  • Good air quality
  •  1 (low) 
  • Orange
  • Poor air quality
  • 2 (medium)
  • Red
  • Heavily polluted air
  • 3 (high)

When set to ‘Auto’, the air purifier responds automatically if the surrounding air becomes polluted enough to pose a potential health risk. In most cases, the indicator will remain blue, meaning the air is kept clean at a low fan speed. Since the air quality is not immediately concerning, there is no need for the purifier to switch to a higher setting.

When you switch on the Air Balance it will remain on until you turn it off yourself.

However, there is also a timer function that allows you to set the operating time. Select one of the options below, and the device will switch off automatically after the chosen duration:

  • 2 hours
  • 4 hours
  • 8 hours

Yes, the purification is automatically controlled when the air purifier is set to the automatic mode!
The device has a built-in sensor that constantly monitors the air quality. When it detects increased air pollution, it will automatically switch to the appropriate fan speed.
As the pollution decreases through air filtration, the purifier will automatically return to a lower fan speed.

The Air Balance XL provides a constant, balanced indoor air quality in rooms up to when used for continuous air purification. Thanks to its powerful and efficient air purification, the air in your home or office stays fresh and clean day and night.

Need faster results when dealing with high levels of pollution, such as pollen or excessive dust? In rooms up to , the Air Balance XL delivers noticeably cleaner air within 20 minutes, making it ideal for hay fever, allergies, and other air quality concerns.

The Air Balance XL operates at just 30 dB in Sleep mode and 55 dB in Turbo mode. A noise level of 30 dB is comparable to the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze, while 55 dB is similar to the sound of distant traffic.

The electricity costs naturally depend on how often the Air Balance XL is used, the selected fan speed, and, of course, the price of electricity. The four usage scenarios below are based on an electricity price of £0.28 per kWh.*

1. The best placement for the Air Purifier

In general, it’s best to place the air purifier near the main source of pollution. Think, for example, near a fireplace, where pets stay, or by a frequently opened door. If the source of pollution is not clear, you can place the air purifier close to the person who benefits most from clean air.

Make sure the air purifier has enough space around it. Keep at least 20 cm distance from the wall and 40 cm from other objects to allow it to clean the room effectively.

Do not place the Air Balance too high. Ideally, place it on the floor or no higher than 40 cm.

The Air Balance must be placed on a flat, stable surface so that all feet are in contact with the ground. This prevents vibration noise.

2. Keep doors and windows closed, but ensure fresh air

If doors and windows are left open too often, the cleaned air will escape or new pollution may enter. The Air Balance works best in a semi-enclosed space where the existing air is continuously purified.

However, don’t forget to ventilate the room properly. The Air Balance does not produce fresh oxygen, this must come from outside. For example, in the bedroom, it’s fine to leave the window and door slightly open.

3. Keep the Air Balance running

Set the air purifier to automatic mode or manually select the setting that feels most comfortable. Because of open doors and dust stirred up by people and pets, there is always new pollution in the air.

Leaving the purifier on helps keep the air cleaner and more stable. If you’re away from the room for an extended period (such as during the night), you can of course switch it off.

4. Clean the air purifier and filter regularly

See also page 8. By vacuuming the outside of the filter and the inside of the filter housing regularly, the filter will last longer and the air purifier will perform better. Do not clean the filter with water or any other liquid.

5. Bedroom

If you’d like to start the night with very clean air in the bedroom, switch the Air Balance to its highest setting about 2 hours before bedtime. Close the bedroom door and, if you wish, leave the window slightly open. This gives the Air Balance enough time to filter the air multiple times through the HEPA filter. Before going to sleep, you can reopen the door and window and optionally switch the Air Balance to sleep mode.

You can also apply this tip in the living room when you’re away for a bit and the sound of the higher fan speed won’t disturb anyone.

6. Extra clean

If you want to keep the room extra clean or you suffer from allergy symptoms even with low levels of pollution, don’t use the automatic mode. Instead, choose a higher setting manually.

7. After vacuuming

While vacuuming, small dust particles may escape back into the air from the vacuum cleaner’s outlet. Although this isn’t harmful to your health, it can aggravate allergy symptoms. If this happens, switch the air purifier to its highest setting after vacuuming to quickly clean the air again.

8. While cooking

When cooking, it’s of course important to use the extractor hood. However, that’s often not enough to eliminate all cooking smells. In that case, temporarily set the Air Balance to a higher setting — the carbon filter will greatly reduce odours.

It’s important to note that cooking smells and steam released during cooking are harmless. The Air Balance does not detect this as polluted air and therefore won’t automatically increase its fan speed. However, if something burns and the unit is nearby and set to ‘Auto’, the Air Balance will react quickly.

9. Give it a bit of time

The best way to use the air purifier can vary from person to person. Some people run the Air Balance all day on auto mode, while others, due to allergies, prefer a higher manual setting. Take a bit of time to discover what works best for you and what you feel most comfortable with.

10. If the air quality indicator often shows blue

As explained on page 5, the Air Balance responds in automatic mode when the surrounding air is polluted to a level that may pose a health risk. If this is not the case, the purifier will remain on the blue setting. In this mode, the air is still being cleaned to prevent it from gradually becoming more polluted.

However, if you suffer from allergies, even very low levels of pollution can be problematic. In such cases, you can manually set the Air Balance to a higher speed or use the method described in tip 5.

11. What doesn’t get dirty doesn’t need to be cleaned

No matter how well an air purifier works, it’s even better for your indoor air quality (and your health) to minimise air pollution in the first place. Here are a few tips to help improve the air quality in your home:

  • Avoid opening windows and doors too widely when the Air Balance is on (see also tip 2 on page 9). This prevents clean air from escaping and dirty air from entering easily.
  • Dust that has settled on surfaces will not be removed by the air purifier. Regular vacuuming and dusting helps to get rid of it. Don’t forget to clean under beds and furniture. Use a microfibre cloth when dusting, as it traps dust more effectively. Afterwards, set the Air Balance to its highest setting for a while to remove the fine dust that may have been stirred back into the air (for example, through the vacuum cleaner’s outlet).
  • Avoid placing piles of clean laundry in rooms where you spend a lot of time, such as the bedroom. Also avoid folding or ironing laundry in such spaces. Many fabrics release fibres easily, which you’ll notice as fluff on the floor or fine particles floating in the air.
  • It’s important to wash your bedding regularly, especially if you suffer from allergies. House dust mites like to settle in beds and leave behind residue that dries out and breaks down into tiny airborne particles. Wash bedding at 60°C to kill the mites.
  • Curtains, carpets, and fabric upholstery not only trap dust easily, they also generate it. When you open the curtains or sit on the sofa, dust particles are released into the air. Of course, that’s what the air purifier is for — but if this triggers strong allergy symptoms, consider using materials that trap less dust. Think of smooth flooring like wood, laminate or PVC, and roller blinds or slatted blinds instead of fabric curtains.

The Rolfstone air purifiers come with a two-year warranty, which starts automatically from the date of purchase. No warranty registration is required.

General questions

Questions about what the Air Balance Ultra does, what it helps with, and the technology behind it.

Yes, the Rolfstone Air Balance Ultra is ideal for people with allergies such as hay fever, asthma, and house dust mite allergy. It features a powerful HEPA H13 filter that removes at least 99.97% of fine airborne particles, including:

  • Pollen (which can trigger hay fever symptoms)
  • House dust mites and their droppings
  • Mould spores
  • Pet dander
  • Fine dust and other allergens

By filtering these allergens from the air, the Air Balance helps to reduce symptoms such as sneezing, shortness of breath, watery eyes, and wheezing.

Please note: The Air Balance helps reduce symptoms for many people, but issues such as sneezing or shortness of breath can also have other causes besides air quality, including infections, respiratory conditions, or food allergies.

You can try the Air Balance Ultra for 30 days. If it’s not right for you, you can simply return it free of charge by submitting a return request.

The Air Balance Ultra may help reduce symptoms associated with COPD, but it is not a substitute for medical treatment. COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) makes the lungs more sensitive to fine dust, pollen, smoke, mould spores, and other airborne irritants. The Air Balance Ultra is equipped with a HEPA H13 filter that removes at least 99.97% of fine airborne particles, helping to reduce the strain on your airways.

Many users experience:

  • Less irritation of the airways
  • Reduced coughing or shortness of breath caused by indoor air pollution
  • A better night's sleep in a cleaner sleeping environment

Please note: Results vary from person to person. For some people, cleaner air provides noticeable relief from their symptoms, while for others the effect may be less significant.

5. Cleaning the air quickly

If you want to purify the air in a short time, set the Air Balance Ultra to the highest setting. Naturally, the air purifier will produce more noise at this level. Many users choose the highest setting when they are not at home. When you return, the room will have been thoroughly cleaned.

6. Extra clean

If you want to keep the room extra clean or you suffer from allergy symptoms even with low levels of pollution, don’t use the automatic mode. Instead, choose a higher setting manually.

The best way to use the air purifier can vary from person to person. Some people run the Air BaAir Balance Ultraay on auto mode, while others, due to allergies, prefer a higher manual setting. Take a bit of time to discover what works best for you and what you feel most comfortable with.

10.  If the air quality indicator often stays on the lowest setting

In automatic mode, the Air Balance Ultra responds when the surrounding air is sufficiently polluted to pose a health risk. If this is not the case, the air purifier will continue to operate on the lowest setting. Even at this level, the air is still being purified to prevent it from gradually becoming polluted.

For people with allergies, even very low levels of pollution may cause symptoms. In that case, set the air purifier manually to a higher setting or use the method described in tip 5.

11. What doesn’t get dirty doesn’t need to be cleaned

No matter how well an air purifier works, it’s even better for your indoor air quality (and your health) to minimise air pollution in the first place. Here are a few tips to help improve the air quality in your home:

  • Avoid opening windows and doors too widely when the Air BaAir Balance Ultra (see also tip 2 on page 9). This prevents clean air from escaping and dirty air from entering easily.
  • Dust that has settled on surfaces will not be removed by the air purifier. Regular vacuuming and dusting helps to get rid of it. Don’t forget to clean under beds and furniture. Use a microfibre cloth when dusting, as it traps dust more effectively. Afterwards, set the Air BaAir Balance Ultras highest setting for a while to remove the fine dust that may have been stirred back into the air (for example, through the vacuum cleaner’s outlet).
  • Avoid placing piles of clean laundry in rooms where you spend a lot of time, such as the bedroom. Also avoid folding or ironing laundry in such spaces. Many fabrics release fibres easily, which you’ll notice as fluff on the floor or fine particles floating in the air.
  • It’s important to wash your bedding regularly, especially if you suffer from allergies. House dust mites like to settle in beds and leave behind residue that dries out and breaks down into tiny airborne particles. Wash bedding at 60°C to kill the mites.
  • Curtains, carpets, and fabric upholstery not only trap dust easily, they also generate it. When you open the curtains or sit on the sofa, dust particles are released into the air. Of course, that’s what the air purifier is for — but if this triggers strong allergy symptoms, consider using materials that trap less dust. Think of smooth flooring like wood, laminate or PVC, and roller blinds or slatted blinds instead of fabric curtains.

Maintenance

Everything you need to know about maintaining the Air Balance Ultra and its HEPA filters.

To ensure the air purifier operates efficiently and to extend its lifespan, it is recommended to clean the filter once a month using a vacuum cleaner.

Attach the brush nozzle to the vacuum hose and use it to remove dust from the outside of the filter, the inside of the filter housing, and the base plate.

Do not wash the filter with water or any other liquid.

Both filters must be replaced when the indicator turns red.

If the indicator is yellow, the lifespan of both filters is less than 5%

It is also recommended to replace the air filter every 6 to 8 months, depending on how often the purifier is used. Be alert to the following signs that indicate the filter may need replacing:

  • Increased noise levels
  • Reduced airflow
  • A clogged filter
  • Stronger or lingering odours

You can order a replacement filterset at Air Balance Ultra Filter.

  1. Turn off the air purifier and unplug it from the wall socket.
  2. Remove both old filters from the air purifier.
  3. Remove the plastic film from the new filters.
  4. Place the new filters into the air purifier and reattach the front panel.
  5. Plug the unit back into the wall socket and turn the air purifier on .
  6. Reset the filter indicator
    After replacing the filter, the filter indicator may still show red. By performing a reset, the air purifier recognises that new filters have been installed.
    • Insert the plug into the mains socket and switch the air purifier on
    • Press and hold the filter indicator button for 3 seconds
    • When you hear a ping sound, the reset has been successful. The light will return to white.

Troubleshooting

Use the checklist below to quickly work out what is going on. Follow the steps in the order shown and start with step 1.

1. Test the adapter

Plug the adapter into the mains socket and do not connect it to the heating blanket yet.

  • If the light shows green ●, go to step 2.

Does the light on the adapter not come on? Then it is faulty. Please contact us (see below).

2. Connect the adapter

Plug the adapter into the mains socket and connect it to the label using the magnetic connector.

What colour does the light on the adapter show?

  • Red ● → the power bank is charging. Continue to step 3.
  • Green ● → this is correct if the power bank (battery) is already fully charged.
    If not:
    • Check that the magnetic cable is properly and straightly connected to the label.
    • Check that the copper-coloured pin at the tip of the cable head protrudes sufficiently (see photo) and that it springs back when you press it.

Does the adapter light stay green? Please contact us (see below).

3. Light on the label

Is there a light on the right-hand side of the label when the adapter is connected?

  • Yes → continue with step 4.
  • No → open the power bank compartment, connect the power bank (battery) to the cable and check the small light at the bottom right again.

Does the light remain off after doing this? Please contact us (see below).

4. Switch on the blanket

Switch on the heating blanket by pressing the white power icon (to the left of the logo).

Do three lights on the left of the label turn on?

  • Yes → continue with step 5.
  • No → have you carefully completed steps 1 to 3? If so, please contact us (see below).

5. Check the heat

Switch on the heating blanket and wait at least 5 minutes. Use your hand to feel whether the blanket is warming up. Press your hand firmly against the blanket to feel the heat.

  • Feels warm → everything appears to be in order and you can use the blanket. It is best to fully charge the power bank (battery) for at least 5 hours. Switch the blanket off unless you want to use it immediately.
  • Feels only slightly warm → see the article ‘The heating blanket does not feel warm enough’ for more information.
  • Does not get warm at all → have you completed all the steps above carefully? If so, please contact us (see below).
 

When you contact us:

Send an email to service@rolfstone.com with your order number and include your findings per step (1 to 4). With your answers we can quickly determine what is going on and how to resolve it.

If the heating blanket does not feel warm enough, please review the tips below.

  • When you turn on the heating blanket, it takes a few minutes before you start feeling the warmth.
  • You feel the warmth best by sitting on the blanket.
  • If you only feel with your hand, the warmth may feel less intense. The warmth is much more noticeable when you sit on it.
  • The heating blanket has two warming zones: one near the seat area and one near the lower back.
  • After approximately 10 minutes, the blanket reaches its maximum warmth.
  • Thicker clothing may cause the warmth to take slightly longer to fully penetrate.
  • After about half an hour, you may notice the warmth is so effective that you can lower the heat level from setting 3 to 2 or even 1, while still maintaining a comfortable temperature.
  • By lowering the heat level, you use less energy, and the battery lasts longer before needing to be recharged.


If, after following the above tips, you still feel insufficient warmth, please check the following:

  • Is the power bank connected?
  • Is the power bank charged?
  • Is the heated blanket actually switched on?
  • Is the heat level perhaps set to level 1?

For further explanation, see the item "The heating blanket does not get warm" below.

If none of these solutions work for you, please contact us.
