Autumn has come, it seems bush backburning is in full swing, always can smell smoke in the air, particular in the night. I saw the deal Gearbite 15% off sitewide, checked its Xiaomi 3H Air Purifier but it listed as pre-order, and it said it would ship from 30th Nov, tried to confirm if it's 2020, but no one answered. Well, found in Kogan instead, and cheaper than Gearbite even with its 15% off.

Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 3H $169
Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier Pro $199

Also filters seem cheaper than other places too

Xiaomi Mi Antibacterial Filter $29
Xiaomi Mi HEPA Filter for Air Purifier $29
Xiaomi Mi Anti-formaldehyde Filter S1 for $39

          Of course not, they are cheap for a reason, workers get paid next to nothing, it's bordering on slave labour.

              @John Kimble: They definitely are, head into Harvey Norman and take a look on the back of the box.

              All Sharp products are now made in Japan (The same factory as iPhones now), they had some in China and moved their production out of China about a year ago now due to the backlash from the USA and other countries on the "China tax"
              Sharp is also setting up a factory for certain products in the USA.

            @[Deactivated]: So just to be clear your comment on these purifiers being "Chinese made rubbish" has nothing to do with the quality of the product, but rather the fact that the workers get paid next nothing?

              -5

              @squarepants: A) Chinese designed and made products are well known as a lesser quality product than those made in places like Japan, Germany, UK, USA etc where quality standards are much higher (Just read some of the reviews on here about this product from those that have it, sensor not working, app not connecting etc).

              B) If you don't think that's a big deal that slave labour has been used to make your product, then buy it, it's not for me to tell you what is wrong with widespread human rights abuses, including political repression, mass censorship, mass surveillance of their people and the list goes on.
              I would rather support a country that does not treat its people this way and I am happy to pay more to support well-made products that have been made by people that are fairly paid in these other countries.

              • squarepants on 09/04/2021 - 15:47

                @[Deactivated]: Firstly, I think that used to be true in the past, but products coming out of China are definitely of much better quality these days, especially with the bigger brands. As with anything though, there would always be a small percentage that slip through the crack and do not perform up to expectation.

                Secondly, don't believe I suggested anywhere in my comment that the way labour is treated in China isn't a big deal? Apologies if I'd come across that way, but no where in your original comment dealt with the reasoning for it being Chinese made rubbish, and in your follow up comment you allude to the fact that the reason they are cheap is due to labour being paid very poorly. So my question was simply a genuine question about if these purifiers were or were not of good quality as I have been looking at these for a while.

                Lastly, I certainly do not condone China's actions and even find their recent attempts at propaganda fairly laughable to be honest, but if the product is good, it's good. I don't see any reason to ostracise a product because of the country they're manufactured in. Apple products are made in China, are they perfect, no not remotely and they're US designed too; are people staying away from them because they're made in China, definitely not.

                Didn't neg you btw, but love the neg, whoever it came from. Not sure what I said deserves it. meh

      @Adrainnn good questions. I had exactly the same questions as to why buy one 8 months ago,
      Read the thread here, ended up buying one to try, now having 4 air purifiers at home (1 of them Xiaomi)
      We live in a green leafy suburb. Have hay fever. Found it’s worth when few situation arises below.
      1. burn food or toast.
      2. body BO, sweat after sports day
      3. cigarette smell from outside
      4. back burning….
      whether it may help with hay fever? I switch it on when symptoms come and take an anti histamine seems work.
      5. on a warm day or sometimes you may want to close all windows without switching air con. turn on the purifier to circulate air. feel instantly few degree cooler.

      • narbe on 09/04/2021 - 07:55

        Which are purifier do you find the best out of your 4?

        For hayfever that is.

        • eatwell365 on 10/04/2021 - 00:23

          my large air purifier from Target (paid $79, down from $169) works as well as the 3H. It’s subjective, as I always take a flat pack generic anti histamine (ozbargain deal too) when my hay fever comes.

        • eatwell365 on 10/04/2021 - 00:25

          target filter lasts typically 12 months, xiaomi lasts 6 months max, good to know how to by pass the filter “timer”.

    According to this website, the differences:

    In terms of the area served by the Mi Air Purifier Pro, it is slightly more powerful than 60 square meters compared to 48 for Air Purifier 3.

    Accordingly, air purification is 500 m3 per hour for the Purifier Pro model and 400 m3 for Air 3.

    Power consumption Purifier Pro 66 W versus 38 W Air Purifier 3.

    In size, Air Purifier 3 is a bit more compact. 240 x 240 x 520 mm versus 200 x 260 x 735 mm.

    The new model is lighter. The weight of Air Purifier is 3 4800 grams versus 8 kg of Purifier Pro model.

    The suction perforated surface of the Air Purifier 3 is wider. Wider and openings for discharged purified air. It would seem trifles. But no. Filter contamination is more even, less often the need to replace the filter with normal and medium air pollution.

    Air Purifier 3 Touch Screen Air Purifier. You can scroll through the information, set the modes directly on the screen of the cleaner. In fact, using a smartphone is more convenient.

      Kogan import the global model which typically comes with a standard figure 8 European 2 pin round plug power cable. Kogan separately ship all Xioami purchasers an additional AU plug figure 8 power cable. The AU power cable typically arrives a day or two after the actual purifier. Other vendors (amazon.com.au for example) typically provide an international adapter, but those are a bit dodgy as they don't have a tight fit and you can easily plug the two round pins into the wrong holes and cause issues. They're also not typically certified for use in Australia, so if they were to catch fire, your insurance company might decide to attempt not paying out the policy.

      As for the filters, there's like 3 or 4 different filters and they all do slightly different things. Inside the original box you typically get the green formaldehyde filter. This filter doesn't filter as fine a particle as the HEPA filter for example, but it does however remove smells from the air such as cat urine or smoke. The HEPA filter is far better for allergy sufferers and for those who don't need odour removal. I personally buy the formaldehyde filters.

      The formaldehyde filters were on sale at Kogan a couple weeks back for $29 each with free postage.

      Filters last around 5 months constant use in relatively decent air environments, so no need to go buy additional filters immediately.

      • activ8newbs on 08/04/2021 - 21:54

        Thankyou so much. Very helpful. Cheers. I'm in the allergy boat (+no pets or smoking or heavy cooking) so wont need odour removal…will stick with HEPA.

        Do you know how to connect the global model to the Mi App?

        I have lots of other mi items and had them all working on Mainland China but even if I switch to Australia or Singapore and try to connect the 3H I can't get it to show up.
        It shows up in my WiFi connections but in App it tries to connect Bluetooth first but never can.

        • LJH23 on 09/04/2021 - 13:35

          I have the global version of this and had to switch to Australia region and it connected fine. Make sure you are also connecting to a 2.4GHz network, not 5GHz.

          I used to be on Mainland China for my cameras so they are effectively useless now but my gateway and sensors still work. My 3H refused to connect to Mainland China.

      doesnt look to be hepa and its just a simple Fan and filter. which will probably do 80% of the job

      filters also look cheap to replace and is pm2.5 rated

      so u could probably buy 2 for the same price as the xiaomi but if u look at the specs. the xiao appears to have a higher CADR 120m3/hr vs 400-500

    • N11 on 09/04/2021 - 12:31

      I'm pretty sure the IKEA one is a HEPA 12 filter and also can add an optional charcoal filter to it for odours.

      But I believe this Xiaomi one is rated for larger rooms, so guess will depend on your use case.

  • Grazz989 on 08/04/2021 - 22:49

    The filter descriptions don't make any sense. The HEPA and the anti-formaldehyde one look identical on paper…
    HEPA:

    1. Pre-filter works to capture large suspended particles such as hair and dust

    2. True HEPA Filter filtrates 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including pollen, smoke and PM2.5

    3. Activated carbon filter assists in absorbing odours, Benzene, Formaldehyde and VOCs

    Anti-formaldehyde:

    1. Pre-filter cloth works to capture large suspended particles such as hair and dust

    2. Efficient filter material filtrates PM2.5 and PM3.0 particles, including pollen, smoke and dust

    3. Activated carbon filter assists in absorbing odours, Benzene, Formaldehyde and VOCs

    And the anti-microbial filter doesn't say anything about HOW it supposedly sterilises anything, or what the supposed quad filtration is.

    I find that when the marketing for a product is a bit off like this, the product itself is a bit off too. It looks nice enough but it raises the question of how accurate the sensors are or how much air is actually going through the filter and how much of it is just blowing through the casing around the filter, etc.

    • nathanos on 08/04/2021 - 23:58

      HEPA filter for allergy sufferers as it filters finer particles. The HEPA filter doesn't however eliminate odours.

      Formaldehyde filter for those who want odour elimination and aren't as allergy prone. It's a great all-rounder.

      • Just Invest on 09/04/2021 - 00:24

        But HEPA filter does come with activated carbon and it says Activated carbon filter assists in absorbing odours, Benzene, Formaldehyde and VOCs….
        So they are almost two identical product i guess.

        • mike82 on 09/04/2021 - 02:22

          There are three layers in both filters. The pre-filter layer and the activated carbon layer are identical.
          The difference is only in the middle layer, one is HEPA (Xiaomi uses H13 class, which filters at least 99.95%), the other is a normal filter (lower efficiency, takes longer run time for same amount of air to achieve same result).
          So the HEPA is the better one and usually more expensive.
          In the instruction manual that comes with the filter, it says replace every 6 to 12 months. The pre-filter layer can be vacuumed clean easily, but the HEPA and activated carbon once saturated will no longer have filtering effects.

      • Grazz989 on 09/04/2021 - 10:50

        Except the formaldehyde one makes the same statement about P2.5 & P3 particles. It's strongly implied they're the same (HEPA, if you can believe a Chinese product's claim that any of it is genuinely HEPA which I doubt).

        And the anti formaldehyde one uses activated charcoal for odour … So does the 'HEPA' one apparently.

        A proper answer to this would be "yes you would, but…" - If the purifier is on 24/7 in your TV room then you'd still need to clean the cabinet but the dust would take longer to build up (assuming the CADR is sufficient enough for the room size)

Yes it doesn't have wifi, but less features usually means less things can go wrong
