The Auli 2.0 challenges the typical design of air purifiers, which are often relegated to inconspicuous corners. Instead, this device integrates a triple-stage HEPA filter into the base of a 52-inch floor lamp, aiming to blend seamlessly with home decor.
The Auli 2.0 features a dual function as both an air purifier and a dimmable LED lamp. The lamp stands 52.4 inches tall and offers three light modes—warm, natural, and cool—each with adjustable brightness. Its cylindrical form, measuring 11 inches in diameter and weighing approximately 14 pounds, is topped with a fabric shade available in warm linen or soft ivory, set upon a pine-finish base. The base itself is constructed from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic, finished to resemble wood grain, which is designed to be durable.
At its core, the Auli 2.0 houses a three-stage filtration system. This includes a pre-filter for larger particles like hair and dust, an activated carbon filter to neutralize odors and smoke, and an H13 HEPA layer capable of capturing 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. The brand claims the purifier can cover an area of 1,836 square feet. Replacement filters are priced at $69, or $62 with a 90-day subscription, and are rated for 2,200 hours of use.
Assembly of the Auli 2.0 is described as a straightforward process, generally taking less than 30 minutes. While most steps are intuitive, connecting the power terminals and screwing the pole into the base may require careful alignment for a secure fit. Attaching the rolled fabric shade involves five evenly spaced clips and Velcro, with a specific placement for the seam at the back. The manual provides illustrations, and the packaging is noted for its thoughtful design, such as protecting the HEPA filter pleats during shipping.
While the Auli 2.0 includes a remote control and an accompanying app, they are presented as optional conveniences. The remote requires AAA batteries, which are not included, and the app setup involves account creation, Wi-Fi connection, and device verification, which some users may find cumbersome. However, all essential functions—including five fan speeds for the purifier and three light modes with dimming—are accessible via control knobs on the device itself. The top display indicates features like sleep mode, auto mode, child lock, air quality, and filter replacement status.
Initial impressions suggest the Auli 2.0 is effective, with a noticeable airflow from the base on higher settings. The lamp's height places it below typical adult eye level, allowing the lit shade to be viewed from above. The manufacturer offers a 30-day return policy, allowing users to evaluate the device's aesthetic and performance in their own space. A one-year warranty is also provided.
