  As best I recall these come with heat wrapped clear plastic over them (remove this) a very fine mesh outer filter (dont remove this)

  Great. Thank you.
  Mine didn't have the heat wrap plastic, but it was the mesh like plastic i was referring to.
  i read somewhere that Xiaomi copped some flack as the sensor was still producing results even with the plastic still on the filter.
  Xiaomi have since removed the plastic (which i assume is the heat shrink wrap you're referring to).
  I just wasn't sure if the mesh like plastic was what they were referring to.

  Starting to wonder if my purifier is faulty. Says my air quality is excellent and only reading 001. Yet I can see dust floating around where the sun shines through the windows.

    Same with mine, don’t think the air purifiers do what you expect them to do though.

      I tested mine with a lit and blown out candle. The meter went up and eventually back to 001.
      Ill have to move the purifier to another location to test it out.
      I still feel the mesh cover on the filter would block a bit of air entering the filter

        Any luck with the purifier? I bought mine today and it has constantly been at 001. I tried putting it in 3 different room and the reading stayed at 001.

  Have any of you used other brands and can compare?

  I'm reading more and more reviews of the Xiaomi Air Purifiers and despite there being such a strong following here on OzBargain with the deals and the specs, anecdotal evidence would indicate that the all in one filters are consumed significantly faster than other brands (eg Sharp/Philips) and that there are limitations such as being unable to be left on high power continuously more than 3 hours.

  I've only owned Philips air purifiers and found them to be very "dumb" machines but they work really well and when I used the, they seem to help remove airborne dust and pet dander too. We recently bought a Dyson hot/cool link purifier which in theory should do the same thing but it definitely doesn't feel as effective.

  Keen to try and work out whether to try a Xiaomi purifier (looking at the 3 or the Pro model) or just buy another Philips to bolster our living room defence!
