    is this a better version or different compare the the carbon and antibac version ?

      Non Xiaomi filters are widely available. The listings for non genuine ones, won't state that they are original Xiaomi ones, but they won't say that they are not made by Xiaomi. I bought a cheap third party filter from Banggood, not realising it was not an original one.

        Says that it has Quadruple purification so the air inside your house should smell at least 4 times cleaner than the air outside.

      • kranix on 23/10/2019 - 09:42

        I'm a moderate-severe asthmatic. I've documented my journey here.

        To summarise:
        1. Measure
        2. Define your needs
        3. Act based on that need
        4. Measure the difference

        If asthma is a real issue, consider whole house purification.

    • Slut on 22/10/2019 - 09:38

      I bought this a few months ago but I’ve had it off for the past two months.

      I don’t think it’s necessary unless you’re in an area and house where it’s really needed. My sensor thing never went above 3-4 and that was only when cooking smells got into the room from the kitchen, and somehow the filter went down by 10% in just a month.

      • lostn on 22/10/2019 - 10:17
        +2

        filter is meant to last 4-6 months so if it went down by only 10% in one month, you will get 10 months of use out of it.

        • Slut on 22/10/2019 - 20:48

          yeah but I only used it 6-8 hours every night and the sensor thing never went above 4 besides once or twice. So I can’t imagine how fast it would be for a household that will actually take advantage of the filter properly.

          • lostn on 23/10/2019 - 12:54

            @Slut: My PM readings were over 270 whenever my roommate smokes.

            I got about 6 months use out of it, and I ran it 24/7.

            • Slut on 23/10/2019 - 14:16

              @lostn: Mine seems really fast then or maybe the filter is just used up the same based off time

      • BigLeviathan on 22/10/2019 - 20:02

        Oh so when cooking fish, etc, it'll purify it? Nice!!

      I was also wondering.

      According to this test it doesn't:

      The Xiaomi purifier scored as one of the worst purifiers I’ve ever reviewed.

      And in this review there was little noticeable difference.

      • unco on 22/10/2019 - 09:52

        That first link is out of date, they have an update at the bottom of the article.

        Review Update: July 2018
        Some users have reported that they are able to get their Xiaomi air purifier to remain in ‘high’ mode using the ‘automation’ feature of the app. For more information, check out this comment by Ryan, and this image showing how to set up auto mode. Breath safe!

        Can confirm you can run manual mode for as long as you want without it going back to auto.

        • ENSLAVER on 22/10/2019 - 10:15

          Yup mine's been on manual mode ever since I got it, running slightly higher than normal speed. On max manual speed the thing is crazy.

        • dcash on 22/10/2019 - 10:34

          Yes, but not on full speed. I think the max is about 21~37m2 coverage (on the app), which I guess is about 2/3 of full speed. If you increase the fan speed beyond this, it will revert back to auto mode after about half an hour.

        • kranix on 23/10/2019 - 10:01

          So by default it doesn't work well and one must be aware to set it to manual mode themselves. That's not responsible or usable product design.

          I've got one of these units. It's pretty good within limitations. Just don't expect it to purify more than a closed small-medium size room.

      • Clear on 22/10/2019 - 09:59
        +9

        I wish people would stop linking smartairfilters. They sell their own air filters so naturally they're going to bag out the competitors.

        What unco said is right though. I never have auto mode running on mine.

        • kranix on 23/10/2019 - 09:36
          -1

          No, they resorted to designing their own purifiers because they exposed the marketing BS inherent in the models on the market. They are a NFP with a mission to make clean air affordable.

          Ozbargainers love to ignore the genuine science and seem to have a fetish for promoting products without genuine evidence.

          As is common on this site, I expect this post to be voted down by the uninformed/biased/uncurious mob.

          • Clear on 23/10/2019 - 09:47

            @kranix: Fortunately for the Xiaomi the only inaccuracy is their sensors.

            • kranix on 23/10/2019 - 10:05

              @Clear: It's a decent unit (I have one) but one can do better. The science is pretty clear: all you need is a big fan and a good HEPA filter. Everything else is smoke and mirrors. That was the point behind the Smartairfilters efforts.

              • fatal on 23/10/2019 - 14:32

                @kranix: Not at that price, with smart home automation options and with decent filters.

                • kranix on 23/10/2019 - 14:50

                  @fatal: That is solely because filter companies have created units that are full of rubbish 'enhancements' that don't actually deliver any additional benefit. A good fan and a HEPA filter don't cost much, and are all you need for good particle filtration.

      • RocketSwitch on 22/10/2019 - 10:11

        Unco bet me to it.

      • lostn on 22/10/2019 - 10:42

        I can only speak for myself. But my guests always complain that because of the smoke in my house when they go home their clothes always carry the smoke smell. But after I got the filter, they stopped smelling smoke on their clothes.

            @abuch47: Because smoking in the public is now prohibited :)

          • lostn on 22/10/2019 - 20:56

            @abuch47: it isn't my house.. I'm just sharing the rent. The owner smokes not me.

            My options are suck it up, or leave. The proximity to work and fair share of rent has kept me here for years, but sometimes I do contemplate it.

            • abuch47 on 23/10/2019 - 21:00

              @lostn: Can understand that. Have you asked him not to?

              • lostn on 23/10/2019 - 22:07

                @abuch47: Yeah.

                His response is, I acknowledge your suggestion and will file it into the backburner.

                In other words, bugger off. My house, my rules.

                I don't want to piss him off because he's charging reasonable rates and hasn't raised them in a while. I'm just happy that he accepted me putting an air purifier in the middle of the room. It spins up quite noisily when he smokes.

                BTW, it's not just him. Two of his friends share the house too and they all smoke inside. So do some of his visitors.

    For some people like me, Xiaomi Air purifier make some allergy, tickle, itchy and sneezing. Useless for someone who has some kind of hayfever.

    • lostn on 22/10/2019 - 10:33

      I did not know this. I have allergies too and really bad hay fever. I have been a lot better this Spring than I was previously though. I don't know if that's because of this filter or other factors though.

      • ediie1166 on 22/10/2019 - 10:35

        I think the allergy made by chemical of the filter. It's true for me. If I turn on the power of the Xiaomi, a river starts from my nose.

        • lostn on 22/10/2019 - 10:41

          which filter did you use? I've been using the default green one that came with the unit.

    These things are not designed for us. They're for urban China, India, and other problem cities with air pollution

    You can check the PM2.5 readings yourself.

    New Delhi: 189
    https://aqicn.org/city/india/new-delhi/us-embassy/

      Mate, the air quality is not uniformly good across the entire metro Sydney region. Live anyone in the West near industrial complexes and you have way worse AQI than that. Add onto that hayfever, allergies or asthma and there is definitely a need for some people.

      That's not to mention those that live in studio/small apartments who want to remove the cooking and other odours which this unit does very well.

      • unco on 22/10/2019 - 12:26

        This.

        I don't get much air circulate through the house with the windows open so the purifier is a godsend to get rid of cooking smells in my case.

      This is just the filter, not the purifier itself. I've got the Air Purifier 2 and it's been running continually for over two years. The quality is very good.

    • aussietivoman on 22/10/2019 - 13:13

      I have a couple of Xiaomi power boards - the ones with multi-region plugs so i can plug my imported crap into them.

      I find them excellent.

      I just got the 2s air purifier. Its the international version and it wont let me connect to it via the app unless i set my region to Mainland China which is annoying. Too early to say if it does a good job filtering the air.

      Its air quality reporting only reports PM2.5 particles in the air - that is pretty basic reporting. My Dyson air filter/fan reports a lot more detail…

      • pomchu on 22/10/2019 - 14:31

        That's strange. I also have the 2s but I can't connect to the China server only the Singapore one.

      • lostn on 22/10/2019 - 21:02

        The 3 socket power boards are fine, but if you go for a 6 socket, because the plugs are upside down long adapters will eat into the socket below it.

        I don't recommend the 6 socket. They are nice and compact but to their detriment.

        Also, any time the power goes out, you have to turn on the power strip again because the power button is a button and not a switch. So when power goes out, it always starts in the off position and needs to be turned back on.

  • Romen on 22/10/2019 - 11:36

    I'm using the standard filter that came with my Xiaomi M Air Purifier 2s and manually control it. I have it constantly on about 1/3 and have found it has improved my allergy symptoms with my cats. Not certain which filter I'll get in the future though… The blue one seems fine for me.

      • Captain M on 22/10/2019 - 13:26

        Yea I did wipe it with a wet chux and tapped the dust out, put it back in and the unit registered the filter as green. It was orange before.

    I'm thinking to get this due to hay fever allergies

    What's the difference between:
    Air Purifier Pro
    Air Purifier 2S
    Air Purifier 2H

    Found a review about Pro vs 2S, and it seems Pro is for larger room.
    Not sure about 2H

    • Clear on 22/10/2019 - 13:21
      +1

      The 2H is basically the original Air Purifer 2 with a few changes. The 2H has a CADR of 260m³/h verses 310m³h in the 2 and \hey've also taken away the NFC/RFID chip that tells you to replace your filter every 6 months.

      There may be other changes that I'm not aware of.

      • fatal on 22/10/2019 - 14:35

        2S has OLED screen and is the most "advanced" of the three.

        • Clear on 22/10/2019 - 14:39

          That's right. They essentially relaunched the 2 as 2H as the "lower end" model if you don't want to opt for the OLED in 2S.

    Guys need some help!

    My mum bought me a Mi 2s air purifier for my birthday (yesterday).
    She got it on EBAY - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Original-Xiaomi-Smart-Air-Purifi…

    I received it without an AU power plug or adaptor.

    When I turn it on, I can only get it to connect to the app on my IPAD or phone if I set my region to Mainland China… Anyway to fix this?

    Also my manual is Chinese. Is there a pdf of the English version anywhere??

    Also I am kinda disappointed that the only "air quality" reading it seems to give you is the PM2.5 particle reading. My Dyson air filter/fan has way, way better air quality information.

    • Clear on 22/10/2019 - 13:28

      You'll need this type of cable.

      Mainland China is the only option you have since it's designed for China.

      App setup instructions here. Physically there isn't much you need to know about it.

      The sensors aren't very accurate either unfortunately.

      • fatal on 23/10/2019 - 14:35

        The 2S sensor is the best out of the Xiaomi's and is quite adequate. Uses a better laser rather than infrared sensor to measure AQI.

            @Clear: My conclusion based on a couple of weeks experience with Xiaomi 2s and a year with Dyson hot/cool is that I'll never buy Xiaomi again.

            It maybe 1/3 the price, but you get what you pay for.

            Xiaomi's air quality reporting covers only PM2.5 particles at a point in time - no history and no other particles.

            Dyson gives you PM2.5, PM10, VOC, NO2, Temperature and humidity. It will track it for months and let you run graphs by the day or week….

    It works well for my Hay Fever and I turn it up after I vacuum the room.

  • nicholastyc on 22/10/2019 - 18:57

    I think i can contribute some information to the air purifier, i have hayfever and its quite bad.

    When my eyes are itchy, i put myself in front of the air purifier (directly on top of the fan) and my eyes are not itchy after a while.

    We have one in the kitchen/dining area because that's where the wifey spends most of her day either baking or at the dinning table. She's mentioned her sneezing and hayfever hasn't acted up (unless she goes outside and does gardening).

    We also get a lot of controlled burns in the area being next to the hills and the system will pick it up before we smell it. Also get's rid of the smoke smell from the burn faster than just letting it sit. So far been happy, have had it running basically 24/7.

    Just installed one of the purple from this deal in my purifier that was showing 0% filter remaining. After replacement, still showing 0% remaining. Press and hold the rest button and the LCD says "smart filter, no need to reset". Filter was shrink wrapped in the box when I got it. Any ideas? Is it actually a repackaged second hand one? Or just a faulty RFID in it? Something else? Mi home app doesn't seem to have anywhere for me to reset it either.
