In 2025, air purifiers are an increasingly popular home gadget because they improve our health, give us a better night’s sleep, and reduce allergies at home. In this post, I’m going to give you my honest review of the recently launched Briiv 2 Pro, an eco-friendly air purifier powered by moss! Yes, moss!
Is an Air Purifier Right for Your Home?
Let’s start at the very top… why might you want to invest in an air purifier? Just a few reasons why include:
- You have unwanted smells in your home from cooking or pets.
- You burn candles in your home.
- You are unable to circulate air easily in a room or your windows don’t allow for enough airflow.
- You would like to reduce your exposure to air pollutants.
- You have allergies or breathing difficulties such as asthma.
Although we all know how bad outdoor air pollution can be for our health, we pay less attention to indoor air pollution. Air pollutants include mould, bacteria, VOCs, allergens, nitrogen dioxide, and low levels of carbon monoxide from heating and cooking appliances, all of which can negatively impact our health.
On top of this, we have to cope with airborne microplastics, which can also harm our health. All of this has made an air purifier an essential gadget in my home.
Why the Briiv range?
If you’ve been following my blog for a little while, you’ll know that I tested out the original Briiv air in my home (read that post here) and it was great at keeping my dust allergy under control. I loved that it used real moss to filter out pollutants in my home, and that it was eco-friendly and sustainable. So, how can this be improved upon? Well, let me introduce you to the Briiv 2 Pro.
Compared to other air purifiers on the market, the Briiv 2 Pro has a lot of unique features, like:
- Four levels of air purification using moss, coconut coir, activated carbon, and matrix filters
- Locally sourced moss and UK manufacturing
- A 2-year guarantee and a 12-month supply of filters
- 6900% more effective than houseplants at cleaning the air
- Whisper-quiet operation
- An essential oil diffuser for natural fragrance
- Smart app connectivity for real-time air quality updates and filter reminders
- The ability to link multiple units for whole-home air purification
- Cleaner air that can help focus, improve sleep, and promote overall wellness
The Briiv 2 Pro is an upgrade to the original Briiv air filter. Not only is it quieter and more effective than the original model, but it also uses AI to detect when to filter the air. Clever stuff, right? But there’s more – let’s dive into the Briiv 2 Pro’s top eight features.
What’s so good about the Briiv 2 Pro – 8 Reason to get one!
1. It’s a Clever Piece of Home Tech
One of the things I love about the Briiv 2 Pro is how easy it is to set up. If you’re not tech-savvy, you don’t need to stress. Simply plug it in, press the on button, and your Briiv 2 Pro will start purifying the air in your home in no time.
If you want more control over your new air filter, download the handy Briiv app, which sends you real-time updates on the air quality in your home and will remind you when it’s time to replace the filters too. It’s all super easy and straightforward to set up – just follow the in-app instructions.
The Briiv can be powered using the plug, or for extra mobility, you can turn it on by plugging it into any USB socket. I use my battery power pack to charge the Briiv, so I can move it easily around my home. But I’ve also plugged it into my laptop port so I can have fresh air while I’m busy working from home. The intuitive touch-control integrated buttons make it easy to adjust the filter settings.
2. Turn Your Briiv 2 Pro into an Oil Diffuser
One of the features I love most about the Briiv 2 Pro is its built-in essential oil diffuser function. You can add a few drops of your favourite essential oil inside, and while it’s busy cleaning your air, it fills the room with a gentle, natural fragrance. It’s subtle, but it makes a big difference, leaving your space smelling fresh and clean.
Aroma can also boost our mood, leaving us feeling uplifted, calm, or sleepy. Place the Briiv in your home office, with a few drops of grapefruit or citrus to energise you during the working day. Or, you could place the Briiv 2 Pro by your bedside and add a couple of drops of lavender essential oil, which will help you drift off to sleep in no time.
3. Banish Smoke & Bad Smells in a Moment
Smoke produced by cigarettes, vapes, wood burners, and log fires causes serious issues for our respiratory health. These toxins are all filtered out by the Briiv 2 Pro, giving your lungs a break and helping you breathe easier. And it’s speedy too – for example, in a small 4m x 4m room, the Briiv 2 Pro can purify the air in just 21 minutes.
It’s also great for getting rid of lingering smells. Simply plug it into your kitchen when you’re cooking to avoid strong aromas taking over your home after mealtimes, or in a room where pets have been, to get rid of stale odours.
It also has advanced sensors that trigger the filter automatically, neutralising odours. It can even activate other nearby units for complete home freshness.
4. Multi-Award-Winning Design
As an interior stylist, I have to talk about the sleek look of the Briiv 2 Pro, designed using biophilic principles – where you bring the outdoors in through interior design, creating a calming, natural environment in the home. This modern, nature-inspired design has won Briiv manufacturers multiple awards, including the Red Dot and A’ Design Awards.
I think it looks like a mini terrarium, which is perfect for plant lovers like me who want to bring nature indoors (without the stress of keeping tricky plants alive).
5. Made from Eco-Friendly Materials
The Briiv 2 Pro’s design isn’t just about looks. It’s made from 90% natural materials, including bio-plastics instead of oil-based plastics, and the filters are biodegradable, made from moss and coconut coir. Even the packaging is eco-friendly. Plus, for every unit sold, Briiv plants a tree. It’s a win for your home and the planet! And you can wash the moss and reuse it again and again – a feature exclusive to the Briiv 2 Pro.
6. Create a Smart Air Filtration System
If you’ve got bigger rooms to cover, you can link multiple Briiv units together to create a smart air system for your entire home. This gives you full control over the air quality in every room, all manageable through the Briiv app. Use the handy Briiv calculator to work out how many you might need in your home.
I’ve been thinking about getting another one for the bedroom to improve sleep, especially since I can control everything from my phone.
Did you know that the purifying capabilities of the Briiv Air Filter are equivalent to having 3,043 houseplants in your home? I thought I was doing well with 35 houseplants… until I found out how efficient the Briiv is!
7. Cheap to Run and Maintain
Not only is the Briiv 2 Pro easy to set up, but it’s also easy to maintain. The natural filters last a year, and the removable nano matrix filter lasts for three months, so you don’t have to worry!
In each box, you get:
- Moss Filter (lasts 12 months)
- Coconut Fibre Filter (lasts 12 months)
- 4 Nano Matrix Filters (lasts 3 months each)
- Integrated USB-A cable
- 1 Fragrance Diffuser
Oh, and the Briiv 2 Pro is super cost-effective to run too, costing just 2p per day – which works out at £3.46 per year.
8. Reduced Dust Accumulation
The Briiv actively grabs dust particles, keeping them from settling on surfaces. In my smaller home, I have an issue with dust build-up, which happens very quickly, so this side effect of the air filter has been a major plus (and we all know that less dusting and cleaning means more time for other things).
What do you think of the Briiv 2 Pro Air Filter?
If you’re looking for an air purifier that’s sustainable, beautifully designed, and packed with smart features, the Briiv 2 Pro is a fantastic choice. It’s made my home feel cleaner, fresher, and more relaxing to be in. I can’t recommend it enough!
