I’ve been looking for a decent well priced unit and came across this one on Amazon. I bought two of these units and am really impressed. I had to share as I thought this was a great buy with all its features. Works with Google and Alexa and I also checked with NX before I bought and it’s rated: CADR level is upto 500m3/h or 295CFM

    HOME, OFFICE OR CLASSROM READY Perfect for larger spaces, this Air Purifier covers up to 130m2 of area. This filter can be placed anywhere from a bedroom to a home office and other busy areas.

    Exhale and breathe easily, assured that your office, classroom or large space (up to 130m2) is healthier and more productive, with the NEW NX Rapid Air Purifier. Built with an industry leading, 5-Stage H13 HEPA air purification system, it will work hard in the background filtering out 99.9% of airborne, harmful pathogens, odours and other air impurities down to 0.3 microns.

    This looks like a pretty random product with nothing to recommend it beyond an initial cheap purchase price. Can you even get replacement filters for it?

    They haven't spellchecked their product description, zero reviews, they don't even get the right number of digits into their HEPA spec.

    This looks like a Xiaomi copy. I'd stick with the Xiaomi- they have a known filter replacement size, even if they seem hard to get in Oz. And they have 14 levels of fan control versus the 3 on this NX product. I've found that lots of fan speeds is a big plus over the more older style "H/M/L" products, because you can tune for acceptable noise. The "low" modes might not be enough to do much, and the "high" settings are invariable far too noisy to ever use unless you're trying to clear smoke out of a room.

    • Replacement filters are on Amazon as well. Linked in the description. For the $ I’m really happy. Hopefully the units hold up.

        It'll almost certainly be fine, they're just fans with a filter on one side :)

        I used to DIY these things and test with a particle counter, they're about as simple as you can get.

    • Agree more speed settings would be useful. Not sure what you're referring to re the Hepa spec? It's H13.
      Most likely comes from the same factory that makes the Afloia Colin purifiers.

        The company that is selling it couldn't get their right- misspellings, and they dropped a decimal from the spec. Minor details to be sure, but I've been paying attention to purifiers for over a decade now and not seen any company as sloppy as this.

        I wouldn't even conjecture as to where it comes from- there are going to be dozens if not hundreds of factories lines churning out almost identical products in China. I've friends who are involved in overseeing Mainland production and the amount of copying, both of the primary product and then of subsequent copies, that happens over there is almost unbelievable.

        Again, the product is… probably absolutely fine. I just prefer to avoid this real race to the bottom approach. TBH I'd probably feel more comfortable buying my own filters and slapping them onto some fans (which I have also done in the past) just to avoid this kind of bottom of the barrel trend. At least for products that are supposed to be for health.

        Any filter I've bought sourced from China I've been happy with, but that's only because I own multiple particle counters and I can test them for effectiveness. And I've noticed differences between filters. The Swiss IQAir ones I've had basically let zero particles through- very impressive and far beyond the HEPA standards. The Xiaomi and rando DIY ones work 'well enough' for me.

        • Amazon descriptions are notoriously poor (this is sold by Amazon) - that doesn't necessarily equate to a product failure. https://www.nx-tech.com.au/air-purifier/nx-100ap-rapid-air-p…
          The key is whether this is Hepa H13 - it's illegal in australia to falsely advertise and the company distributing this is Directed https://www.directed.com.au/retail-landing-page/

            @bargainshooter: I hadn't seen the NX site before. They get the spec wrong on their own website. I know it's a small thing, but if they don't even notice and fix the product copy on their own page then clearly they've just taken this off an OEM production line and are rebadging and almost certainly not doing any QC themselves.

            Those RRPs on the website are also totally taking the piss.

            I'd still get a Xiaomi. I've found that 3 speeds are very inferior to more granular control, especially in small room like these units would be designed for. I say this as the kind of geek that actually measures air particles and noise levels against different speed settings for different sized rooms and different external air situations (high pollution counts outside leak into rooms).

            I've got one 3 speed purifier, but it's a ten year old workhorse from before app control. I've also got a bunch of Xiaomis which are great for balancing airflow/noise vs effectiveness (essentially they are bedroom units), and a 6 speed IQAir. I've had many others over the years, this is just what I've kept.

            The NX has cheap going for it (if it's massively discounted). I wouldn't say it's got much else to recommend it.

              @rumblytangara: Yup i measure particulates as well. Both outside and per room and have various purifier units. And have also been doing this for about 10 years. But for $111 it's not a bad option if you want multiple units on a budget. No worse than the more expensive large kmart unit.

              • @bargainshooter: I think we're agreed on the "good because it's cheap" then.

                Out of curiosity- why are you interested in air purifiers? My own interest was because I lived in a crazy-high pollution city for a long time. So bad sometimes that you couldn't see a kilometer or so away.

                Most my purifiers are now sitting boxes. I pulled one out the other day just to see if it would help with allergies (it hasn't had any noticeable effect.).

                  @rumblytangara: I've been interested in clean air for too long to remember what brought me here 😂

                  Reading scientific literature I guess? Roadside pollution can be dangerous even without the accompanying haze. The more you study the more you realise many modern diseases are "encouraged" by inhaling particulates. Asthma, heart disease, cancers.

                  • +1

                    @bargainshooter: Fair enough :)

                    I've done trips into the Dongguan and Shanghai factory areas- the pollution there is mind blowing. Ended up coughing for weeks afterwards.

                    Not looking forward to a repeat of bushfire season now that I'm in Oz, but that's what the boxed purifiers are for.

                    If I had the $ to burn on frequent filter changes and was concerned about indoor pollution here, I'd be using the older style chunky BlueAir units- I like their (non-HEPA) approach to filtration. They're nicely built machines, and their noise profile is well tuned.

                    • +1

                      @rumblytangara: Some blueair were found to use -ve ionisers without disclosing that detail. Don't think they do that anymore.

                      I was in Beijing a bunch of years ago and though the air looked clean it definitely wasn't. Was ill for about 3 weeks after. Yup El Nino will be a major problem from this year.

                      • +1

                        @bargainshooter: The old school BlueAirs are just giant fans with high flow filters- really simple machines, but far as I can tell, just really well made. Similar to IQAir but with a different take on filtration (airflow vs pure effectiveness). Good design then good manufacturing make a huge difference in the basic fan+filter idea.

                        I've been in Beijing during the bad air times when they have dust blow in from the Gobi. You literally cannot see the building across a plaza. Or other places, where at night you can see car headlights sparkling off air particles. It's very dystopian.

    Looks like a copycat of xiaomi’s.

    • +1

      Even the design of the app interface is similar.

      • It's tuya based - so no need to use the app…

  • i'm waiting for a brave soul to take a punt on this listing and camping here for the follow up comments

  • There is next to near no information about this product online besides their official website and Amazon page. The CFM and CADR would be priced at $300+ in any other air purifier. Their official website lists this as $600. I'm guessing a pricing error?

    It will emit ozone per the special features section on Amazon: "UV LIGHT STERILISER, 2.4G WI-FI CONTROL, LASER PARTICLE SENSOR, H13 HEPA FILTER, ASSISTIVE IONISER"

      I wasn’t going to argue lol. Posted same day. They used couriers please which took 2 days to Newcastle.

      • Can you turn off the "Assistive Ioniser" so that it doesn't emit ozone? Thanks

        • +1

          Yep. You can independently switch UV/Ion on/off as required.

    • +1

      The UV/Ioniser are off by default.

  • Most purifiers that have UV/Ionisers base their CADR on a combination of HEPA filtration and UV/Ionisation. Turn those off and true CADR diminishes substantially.

  • Just bought one good price HEPA filter on ebay $36 can,nt go wrong hmmm

  • Hi all,
    Just stumbled across this, as only now in the market.
    Since the last comments, has anyone purchased the purifier and what are their thoughts?

    • I’m running two units and am stoked. They auto detect the smoke from the neighbours wood fire chimney. Clears it out quickly. Super quiet in auto mode and sleep mode. It’s worth a buy and if you don’t like it just do an Amazon return.

      • Good to know, thanks for that.
        I live in an old-er share house which gets quite dusty so just looking for something to manage that.
        Thanks!
