        Quiet on auto/low speed setting, but doesn't clean anything. Fairly noisy on high speed setting, and still debatable whether it does anything useful.

      • b-radicool on 17/05/2019 - 21:29

        It is virtually silent in Auto mode, but auto mode has also received a bit of criticism as being useless.

        The more effective, higher power modes are much louder, but its good white noise IMO.

              @dcash: I dont see any issues with auto mode it works great for me. You can see it start up when the api tells it to like spray a can of deodant or open a Window.

              • dcash on 20/05/2019 - 19:17

                @asa79: Spraying an aerosol can and having the particle count go off the scale is meaningless. In that case all you probably end up doing is clogging the activated charcoal filter within 5 minutes, rendering it useless for the remaining life of the entire filter. Under normal operating conditions, the unit won't shift off auto mode until the air quality gets far worse than the average outside air quality. If you're happy for your indoor air quality to be as bad as the outdoor air quality, then auto mode will work fine for you. I would however, guess that most people purchase the unit because they want their indoor air quality better than that of the outdoors.

                    @asa79: That's a bit like running an air conditioner with the window open — simply a waste of power. I have two of them, as well as an LG, and have had a number of other brands of air purifiers over the years. The up votes to my other comments regarding the auto mode confirm that the consensus is that auto mode on the Xioami Mi is next to useless in Australia. Just because you don't happen to agree with me, doesn't make me a troll. I would guess that you also voted Labor on the weekend.

        Not quite true. They are a NFP trying to bring more transparency around air quality and over-hyped products. To prove their point, they have published lots of data and created a DIY purifier (yes, you can make your own).

        • Clear on 18/05/2019 - 00:30

          Except they neglected to update their 'review'. Not long after a firmware update introduced the manual speed mode resolving the issue.

          • kranix on 18/05/2019 - 09:48

            @Clear: It doesn't resolve the issue. The default mode is Auto. I have one of these units and have tested it in various conditions. The Smart Air review is fair.

            I still like my Xiaomi purifier, but very importantly, I know it's limitations. The fact is that there are a lot of gimmicks in the market and the Smart Air folk have been great a busting the myths using simple science.

            A review, that is a snapshot of a particular point in time, does not need to be continually updated with new developments.

                    @Clear: That's nice that it appears to work for you. I assume that you've tested with a separate particle counter and not just trusted the manufacturer (who would have calibrated the measurements to Chinese Government figures). Whilst I would love to believe that ordinary citizens have "perfect knowledge" (as perfect competition models would indicate), usually reality suggests otherwise.

                • rogerm22 on 18/05/2019 - 15:24

                  @kranix: It does. In the default Auto mode, it adjusts the fan speed according the PM2.5 level.

                  • kranix on 18/05/2019 - 16:55

                    @rogerm22: Exactly. The reported PM2.5 level is inaccurate, so the Auto mode doesn't work well.

                    • rogerm22 on 18/05/2019 - 17:48

                      @kranix: No, it just has to reach a moderately high level of PM2.5 before the fan speed increases. You can change the sensitivity by creating custom scenes in the Xiaomi Home app. I have mine configured to speed up the fan at a lower PM2.5 level.

          What ever speed you're happy with, and that will mostly come down to the sound level of the fan.

          Try auto and you'll find it ramps right down to a really slow speed.

          I normally use about 1/3 fan speed.

        The counter is very inaccurate. I own one of these and it consistently under reports. You can't trust counters made in China because air quality is so politicised there. That's why the US Embassy and consulates in China publish their own data.

          • kranix on 18/05/2019 - 17:04

            @rogerm22: Interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder how they've chosen to calibrate the sensor in their product. It'll always be a challenge to measure air quality on the unit itself. You really want to be measuring some distance away.

    • dcash on 17/05/2019 - 20:53
      +4

      No. In fact if you run the Xiaomi in auto mode it'll likely never run any higher than the slowest fan speed, which barely moves any air at all and does bugger all in the way of removing anything from the air. I know, because I have two of them and live in a relatively dusty area (old, poorly sealed house in suburban area on main road surrounded by construction), and if I leave it an auto mode the filter barely needs cleaning after 6 months. If I force it to run on a reasonably high speed, the filter certainly gets dusty quickly, but it doesn't appear to reduce dust levels in the house. Even the floor and furniture less than a metre from the unit still get visibly dusty a day after cleaning them, even with the unit running on high. Having said all that, I still run two of the units and a larger LG air purifier 24/7, in the naive hope that maybe they help, at least a little.

      • kranix on 18/05/2019 - 10:08

        Just a thought, maybe consider a whole house air purifier. I've been looking into these lately and will be getting one installed in a couple of weeks.

      • theabyss on 18/05/2019 - 11:18

        In this case you need to ensure the air come through an air purifier to your house and should not let unpurified air come in freely.

      I'm living near one of the most polluted suburbs in Victoria (near an oil refinery… which I unfortunately have to cycle past on my daily commute) according to this article:

      https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-16/australian-polluti…

      Add to that, my place is also next to a main road.

      I bought this Xiaomi air purifier due to the above issues.

      I run this air purifier in the front bedroom and the highest reading I have gotten so far is 18. The front bedroom upstairs typically shows a single digit reading - usually a 2.

      Anything under 50 is deemed as good air quality.

      So to answer your question: No, we don't really need these in Australia.

        I have a Phillips which is more expensive because it has a PM2.5 detector and so knows better when to turn on and off.

        It can go up to 150 when cooking without the vent on, or more disturbingly, every night of winter because of all the people burning wood fires uncleanly.

        I’d recommend investing more in a better air purifier if the air is remotely smokey where you live.

      • beefmaster on 18/05/2019 - 19:02

        It helps by sucking away the dust which is the cause for eczema (in my case anyway). I have changed our house old carpets to wooden floor and keeping the house clean. Since then my skin is much better with the occasional outbreak which is easily manageable.

        Before the change to wooden floor, the carpet caused my glasses to cover in dust so I ended up scratching my face. Dust on the keyboard and table which lead to dust on my finger and on to my body when I start scratching.

        How I found out it is the dust from the old carpet is because I dont scratch when I travel for work and staying in hotel

      I've had bad eczema most of my life. Food is critical, try eat as natural as possible, food that's easy on the gut. Use QV body wash and moisturisers.

      Slowly introduce new bacterias to the gut with probiotics. Home made are the best, kefir, Kombucha, etc. They can be store bought now.

      There's studies that have shown certain bacterias help reduce flair ups. Check out studies on l. plantarum.

      I try avoid steroid creams as much as possible, but in extreme flair ups they pretty much can't be avoided for spot treatment.

      For whole body flair ups, bleach baths until they're resolved, this will also prevent Staph infections. Speak to your dermatologist about this first if you'd like. There's plenty of info available online. Make sure you moisturise after a bleach bath.

      Also worth doing allergy tests.

      My eczema is pretty much non-existent now other than the odd flair up, but I don't get persistent makeup.

      Goodluck.

    • kranix on 18/05/2019 - 11:21

      Eczema is tricky. I've had it since birth. If it's a major problem, see a dermatologist and also get allergy tested. Also be aware of related conditions like asthma and hayfever.

      Speaking only for myself, I've been able to get my eczema under control with Dove Triple Moisturing Body Wash. But the perfumes in it (and most other soaps/cleansers) may be a trigger for your son. Absolutely avoid drying agents like soap and detergent for bathing, and look at what you use for washing your clothes. If inflammation is a problem, maybe try something with oatmeal in it.

      Good luck!

      If this machine helps addressing eczema then it is possible your house is dusty and the dust is the cause. I too have eczema and I found our old carpet is creating too much dust in the house and is causing me to scratch till my skin breaks. There was so much dust in the house and on the computer desk that it get stuck on my glasses causing me to scratch my face when I wear it. The dust get to my keyboard which then get to my finger and on my body when I scratch. I am short sighted so could not see the dust well and endure itchy skin over 20 years.

      Only after changing the carpet to wooden floor and keeping the house clean did my skin is much better with the occasion outbreak which is easily manageable. Eczema sucks and ruin my life both physical and mentally. I hope you address the issue and wish your son the best. The dust causing my eczema may or may not be the same for your son, but is worth considering since you found this air filter which so happen to suck away dust is making him feel better.

      How I found out it is the dust from the old carpet is because I dont scratch when I travel for work and staying in hotel

      I have a 3 years old and hope he does not have to endure eczema.

    If delivery is less than $15….
    Would still come cheaper than the Ebay deal at 20% off code.

    Would be a good buy.

    Bought from Ebay at $200, $190, $180, $160
    At various promotions.

    How does this control the humidity? Or does it?

    Would this purify things like litter box smells/dust (Inc. ammonia from pet urine) or human toilet particles (Ie from flushing etc)?

    Thanks
