The funny thing is, every time I see mesh wifi I keep thinking it's this air purifier (which I own and see every day)
I thought this was a Bose bluetooth speaker
I thought this was Elon's Mars rocket space ship.
No stock NT or WA
What's an ATL?
all time low
What a waste of my 3 thumb scrolls….
Please don't give up your day job to become a writer.
Or if you are a writer, please DO give up your day job.
I enjoyed the concept of an ATL coin
I stg, they be abbreviating anything these days.
If you buy 3 x of these, you'll get no drop-outs for weak air purification dead spots.
5G?
Absolutely!! You can even have a wireless backhaul, which communicates and shares filtration to the other nodes. Win-win clean air, especially in hard to filter places!
Mesh Air ftw.
I'm not an expert on this, but I have heard mixed reception about plasmawave technology - firstly its effectiveness, and secondly, the potential of producing ozone (according to online forums though, the ozone production is negligible).
If anyone could shed light on this, particularly for winix air purifiers that would be appreciated.Let me get my torch
Can vouch for Winix. However, I can't comment on ozone or any of the particulars in the plasmawave technology. I leave the plasmawave on as it's supposed to be better. I have no way of measuring that though.
I first bought this little unit as I have a small home. It's fantastic. The filters aren't cheap but I'm happy to pay the yearly subscription of about $90.
I have learnt to not bother with the aftermarket filters on ebay and the like. It's just throwing away $50+timeSince then I've bought another, larger, Winix 5-stage unit as I have a rather hairy cat. It does the same job as the little unit, really, but a lot more maintenance required cleaning the filters regularly as it sits on the floor sucking up cat hair all day.
How long have you been using it and do you have any respiratory problems post usage?
About 18 months.
I don't suffer, but my partner is sensitive to god knows what; hayfever, or cats, or mould, I don't know. As soon as I got the purifier in, most of the issues went away.
The house smells better in general too. With 2 indoor cats in a small place, you can smell it when coming home. It's put a dent in that. Not 100%, but it's heaps better.
You're correct, plasmawave is something to avoid: https://sgeas.unimelb.edu.au/engage/air-cleaner-guide#what-t…
My wife runs an air purifier a lot. I certainly can't tell any difference.
Bad value at any price; using one of these to properly "purify" the air in a room is akin to using a lighter to heat it.
Can you elaborate?
They just don't move nearly enough airflow to be effective. Even if they were 100% efficient at filtering out whatever passed through them, they move so little air that they aren't putting a dent in contamination levels broadly within the space. Even if you strapped it to your head and tried to breathe through it, you'd pull in more contaminants from around it then would be filtered through it.
Hence my analogy of these being equivalent of using a lighter to heat a room. It's not to say in principal they're not doing something (like a lighter isn't adding some sort of heat to a room), just that you need a lot more if it than this thing is remotely capable of providing to make a significant difference.

There is really no evidence these things work.
A true ozbargain er wouldn't waste their money in the first placeThere is no evidence that smoking is bad for you either.
Wow, it turns out you can just claim stuff on the internet without proof.
I'm talking about in the regards to covid.
Allergies I have no idea about.I don't think anyone is using them for covid.
They work for allergies if they're HEPA.
I think UV ones work for covid and viruses.
@Wolfenstein98k: My mistake.
Either way there is no evidence any work for Covid and viruses unfortunately.
I have the stage 5 and this one. If anything it’s the peace of mind when the colour is red or yellow that something is happening. When the colour is green then I turn it off.
Usually after cooking, cleaning I put it on for an hour or so.
That's not how these things are supposed to work, they're left on all the time to purify the air.
On a daily basis, air has a purity level, it changes due to many factors.
For people with medical conditions like me, these air purifiers are a godsend.
They are amazing. We have a young kid with allergies and these air purifiers help him a lot. We have the 5 stage in each room and I just bought this small one for our kitchen at MyDeal, $169 inc delivery.
Would also like to know, can’t find any coupon to take $30 off as well
Any major difference between this and cheaper alternatives like the Instant Air Purifier from Target @$69?
It is not out of stock and still available to purchase!?
250m3/hr vs 138m3/hr
Target one is for smaller areas
Is the filter exy to replace?
Yes the filter is sexy to replace.
definitely sexy to reace
With a severely asthmatic son, I'm very interested in these. One of the studies indicated that purifiers did reduce PM2.5s by ~11% which was not considered significant, nor did it significantly improve pulmonary function. A few others indicated some short-term benefits but nothing significant enough for me to pull the trigger at this stage. Research continues.
well results will depend on the model. check out DAIKIN they build quality HEPA air filters, have sales on eBay sometimes. i got a MC40YPVM (67L/s) for $269 delivered ~early 2023. works great with pets and cooking odours, kids being sick etc
Does anyone know if an air purifier help to reduce the body odour smell of a teenager's bedroom? Don't want to have to buy one if it's a waste of money.
Activated carbon ones will reduce odours and this one has it. I've not done any tests on odour reduction myself using our much larger Samsung unit but I notice that it's a "life hack" sticking a purifier next to kitty litter trays which imo is a much more offensive smell.
Although I couldn't find anything about air purifiers and body odour, there's a wealth of information on active carbon soaps nutrilising body odour so I'd say there's a decent chance it will help :)
I'll look into the active carbon soap. Thanks heaps for the help.
When I look around my home in certain lights at certain times of the day I see dust particles etc floating around, do these suck in and filter that kind of stuff?
I thought this was a mesh wifi
