        "content": "The Smart Air SA600 comes in *both* a 3-speed and a 5-speed version, depending on when and which model you buy.\n\nHere\u2019s how to tell what you have, and what the differences mean:\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d What the manufacturer says\n\n- **Original model**: The first SA600 purifiers only had **3 fan speeds**. ([airbon.co.uk](https://www.airbon.co.uk/product-page/sa600-air-purifier-5-speed-new-eu-only-1?utm_source=openai))  \n- **New version**: Later on, Smart Air released an updated **5-speed** version, adding two additional settings to give more control between the lowest and highest speeds. ([smartairfilters.com](https://smartairfilters.com/uk/en/product/sa600-air-purifier-5-speed-version/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 How you can tell\n\nYou can usually determine which version you have by checking:\n\n1. **Number of speed options listed on the box or in the manual**  \n   The newer \u201c5-speed\u201d models clearly indicate speeds 1\u20135. ([smartairfilters.com](https://smartairfilters.com/manuals/SA600-carbon-english-chinese.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n2. **Fan speed button indicator lights**  \n   The SA600 5-speed version cycles through Speed 1 \u2192 Speed 5, with lights showing each one. ([smartairfilters.com](https://smartairfilters.com/manuals/SA600-carbon-english-chinese.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n   In contrast, the 3-speed version only lets you choose among three discrete speed settings. ([airbon.co.uk](https://www.airbon.co.uk/product-page/sa600-air-purifier-5-speed-new-eu-only-1?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Performance numbers**  \n   If the spec sheet shows multiple Continuous Air Delivery Rates (CADR) for five distinct levels (e.g. CADR values for Speed 1 through Speed 5), you have a 5-speed model. ([smartairfilters.com](https://smartairfilters.com/en/product/sa600-air-purifier/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Important notes\n\n- **No retroactive upgrade**: You *cannot* convert a 3-speed SA600 to a 5-speed one via firmware or parts. The newer 5-speed models shipped with updated internal board circuitry. ([smartairfilters.com](https://smartairfilters.com/uk/sa600-air-purifier-5-speed-?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Phasing out**: The 3-speed SA600 is being phased out and will no longer be produced once existing stock is sold. ([smartairfilters.com](https://smartairfilters.com/uk/sa600-air-purifier-5-speed-?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which version you have (if you know), I can help with what each speed corresponds to\u2014in terms of CADR, decibels, etc."
