Our verdict
Five Create sells a compact purifier for rooms up to 25 m² and suits buyers who treat air quality as a room-sized job rather than a whole-house one. The price of £329 sits well above the entry median on the site, so buyers should weigh what the 115.53 m³/h rating buys them.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Filter media is listed as carbon, and replacements cost £35 to £45 a year.
- A mobile app is included, which covers the controls most purifiers of this size leave to a dial.
- The 115.53 m³/h clean air delivery rate suits a room of 25 m², and draw is 5 W.
- Backed by a 2 year warranty, longer than the bare minimum most buyers expect.
Cons
- Filter changes land every 3 to 12 months, so cartridge cost is a recurring line, not a one-off.
- Support runs on help centre and community only, with no phone line in the list.
- Entry price of £329 ranks 72 of 76 on the site, so it sits far down the price table.
- Only purifier are offered, and the range covers Briiv Air Filter, Briiv 2 Air Filter, Briiv 2 Pro Air Filter, leaving no larger room option.
Who it suits
- Renters in small bedrooms and offices who want app control without a large machine
- Buyers who care more about annual filter cost than a low entry price
- Anyone comfortable with a compact unit that treats one room at a time
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers covering a whole property, who should look at Vornado Air for fans and humidifiers alongside purifiers
- Shoppers who want dehumidifying alongside filtration, and should compare Daewoo Electricals
- Price-first buyers, who may find a cheaper entry point elsewhere
Pricing
Entry price is £329 for the purifier line, which places the brand in the upper part of the site range rather than the budget end. The running cost is the part to plan for: replacement filters cost £35 to £45 a year, and the catalogue covers carbon media. There is no subscription or contract attached to the hardware, so the two numbers to weigh are the upfront price and the yearly filter bill.
What it does well
Clean air delivery is 115.53 m³/h, a figure that lines up with a room of 25 m² rather than a whole floor. Filter changes come round every 3 to 12 months, and the media is carbon. Draw is 5 W, low enough for the unit to run continuously in a small room without pushing up a bill. A mobile app is included, which puts control in a phone rather than on a panel. Cover runs for 2 years, and the range spans Briiv Air Filter, Briiv 2 Air Filter, Briiv 2 Pro Air Filter.
Where it sits among rivals
On air delivery the brand ranks 43 of 47, so the 115.53 m³/h figure reads as modest next to the field. Room coverage of 25 m² places it 49 of 54, and filter cost of £35 to £45 a year comes in at 14 of 46, the more favourable of the two measures. Entry price of £329 ranks 72 of 76, the weakest of the four measures. Read together, the brand trades throughput and price for cheaper filters.
Who runs it
The legal entity is Five Create Ltd, headquartered in the United Kingdom. Shipping policy lists GB and US as the served markets, so the unit is aimed at those two rather than a global rollout. After sales, support runs on help centre and community, which points buyers to self-service answers and a user community rather than a direct line.
