The Philips PureProtect 2200 Series Smart Air Purifier (sold under model numbers AC2220/10 in white and AC2221/13 in dark slate) is a cylindrical domestic air cleaner built for medium to large rooms. According to Philips, it delivers a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 420 m³/h, allowing it to service spaces up to 109 m² and clean the air in a 20 m² room in under seven minutes. The unit employs a three-layer cylindrical filter that combines a pre-filter, an activated carbon layer for gases and odours, and a HEPA NanoProtect layer designed to capture 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.003 microns.
Who it suits
This unit suits households dealing with seasonal bushfire smoke, dust, pollen, or pet hair, particularly in bedrooms and nurseries. Philips states that the purifier runs at a sound level as low as 13 dB(A) in sleep mode, using fan blades modelled on owl wings to minimise noise during the night. A built-in ambient nightlight and sleep mode also suit children's rooms. In addition, it suits anyone seeking low-maintenance upkeep, as Philips rates the cylindrical replacement filter (FY2200/30) for up to three years of standard use.
Conversely, smart-home users invested heavily in Apple Home or Matter ecosystems should note that the PureProtect 2200 does not connect natively to those platforms. Users who require local automation through platforms like Home Assistant will need to rely on community-maintained integrations rather than an official local API.
Australian notes
Units sold through Australian retailers such as JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, and Bing Lee come equipped with an Australian plug suited for 230V/240V mains power. Maximum power draw is rated at 28 W, meaning continuous operation incurs modest electricity costs on domestic tariffs. Smart connectivity requires Wi-Fi and the Philips Air+ mobile app, which offers remote controls, historical air quality tracking using the onboard PM2.5 sensor, and voice pairing with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Philips backs the purifier in Australia with a two-year manufacturer warranty alongside standard statutory guarantees under Australian Consumer Law.
