MOOKA is a relatively new air purifier brand on the market, while Blueair has been an established name for years.
In today’s article, I will compare the MOOKA B-D02L and the Blueair Mini Max. These are two small air purifiers, almost identical in size but with different performance, features, and CADR ratings.
The MOOKA offers some features that the Blueair lacks. Both devices use three-stage filtration technology, but the Blueair also includes an ionizer that can’t be turned off.
Neither model has smart features.
Keep reading to learn more about these devices and to find out which one I recommend.
Our Verdict

The Blueair Mini Max and MOOKA B-D02L are two compact and stylish air purifiers. These minimalist devices feature small filters and lack advanced features, but they perform well in small rooms.
Based on our tests, the Blueair Mini Max is the better choice. It excelled in airborne particle removal tests, works more quietly at the lowest speed, consumes significantly less power, and is easier to maintain.

Performance Test – Comparison
MOOKA claims that their B-D02L air purifier has a CADR of 135 CFM (230 m³/h) and covers rooms up to 215 sq. ft. (20 m²). However, I’m not entirely convinced this information is accurate, especially after analyzing our performance tests data.
The Blueair Mini Max, on the other hand, has a CADR of 60 CFM (102 m³/h), which is suitable for rooms up to 93 sq. ft. (9 m²).
Particle Removal Tests - Comparison
We placed the Blueair Mini Max Vs MOOKA B-D02L in two separate tests and measured their performance using the Temtop laser particle meter.
Although the MOOKA is rated to cover much larger spaces than the Blueair, we tested both devices in rooms of the same size.
In the first test, performed in a 120 sq. ft. (11 m²) room, the Blueair Mini Max improved air quality by 92%, while the MOOKA B-D02L improved air quality by about 87%.
In the second test, in a 194 sq. ft. (18 m²) room, the Blueair Mini Max improved air quality by 89%, whereas the MOOKA improved it by 81%.
Both air purifiers were tested at their maximum speeds for 60 minutes. It’s clear from the results that the Blueair Mini Max outperformed the MOOKA and won this comparison.
Noise Level Test – Comparison
We tested the noise levels of these two air purifiers at all speeds using a specialized noise measurement tool.
At the lowest speed, the Blueair Mini Max is noticeably quieter, producing a sound level of only 40.4 dBA compared to the MOOKA B-D02L’s 40.7 dBA.
Noise Levels - Comparison
Comparison of noise levels at all fan speeds between the Blueair Mini Max Vs MOOKA B-D02L air purifiers.
As shown in the chart above, the Blueair Mini Max is better optimized for noise reduction at all other speeds as well.
At maximum speed, the Blueair produces a sound of 60.3 dBA, while the MOOKA B-D02L reaches 61.1 dBA.
Fan Speed | MOOKA B-D02L (dBA) | Blueair Mini Max (dBA) |
---|---|---|
Sleep Mode | 40.7 dBA | - |
Speed 1 (Low) | 45.9 dBA | 40.4 dBA |
Speed 2 (Medium) | 52.2 dBA | 49.5 dBA |
Speed 3 (High) | 61.1 dBA | 60.3 dBA |
Despite having one additional speed, the MOOKA is generally a louder air purifier overall.
Operating Costs – Comparison
Blueair air purifiers are known for their well-optimized motors, offering low power consumption while remaining highly effective in capturing airborne particles.
The Blueair Mini Max uses a motor of just 10W, while the MOOKA B-D02L uses a 16W motor.
If run at maximum speed, 24 hours a day, for one month, the Blueair Mini Max would add approximately $0.68 to your electricity bill, while the MOOKA B-D02L would increase it by about $1.32.
Monthly Power Consumption Cost - Comparison
Comparison of monthly power consumption costs for the Blueair Mini Max Vs MOOKA B-D02L air purifiers at all fan speeds.
Refer to the chart above for detailed power usage at other fan speeds.
In addition to electricity costs, there’s also the cost of replacement filters. While the Blueair’s filters are slightly more expensive, they last longer, offering better overall value.
Fan Speed | MOOKA B-D02L (W + $/month) | Blueair Mini Max (W + $/month) |
---|---|---|
Standby | 1.2W ($0.11) | 0.2W ($0.02) |
Sleep Mode | 2.8W ($0.25) | - |
