It's been a long time since we've had a deal on the Xiaomi Air Purifier filter and this one is cheaper than before. If it's anything like previous deals it'll probably sell out fast.

This filter is suitable for the Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier models 3H, 3C, 3, 2H, 2C, 2S, 2 and Pro.

Sign up to the free trial of Kogan First to get the cheaper price and free shipping.

360 Degree triple layer filtration allows for maximum intake. Each filter uses RFID tagging and comes with its own unique ID. It is a true HEPA Filter with filtration efficiency of 99.97% for particle size up to 0.3 microns. The primary filter ensures large particles are filtered out. The activated carbon filter removes dust, odours and other respirable particles. Filter replacement is made conveniently easy and can be changed in 10 seconds.

    Anyone knows if there's a difference between this and 3rd party ones from Aliexpress

    • Clear on 12/03/2024 - 14:59

      The HEPA ones on AliExpress end up being about the same price. The basic ones without HEPA aren't much cheaper and you really don't know how good they are.

      I strongly advise against getting 3rd party/no-name HEPA filters — you don't know how effective/ineffective these mystery filters are, or whether they potentially contain hazardous materials etc.

      If you can source cheap filters from a known good lab-tested factory, then by all means go for it, but I have not come across such specimens.

        That’s an excellent point. Substitute filters can be made out of toxic materials. Because it is cheaper. And you will never know.

        I have seen some of the factories near Shanghai burn waste to create coal for water filters.

        While the powder used to make plastic has poison warning on it.

      • Associated0 0 0 @ Kogan on 12/03/2024 - 16:22

        No guarantees that Xiaomi dont use toxic materials either. Afterall Chinese companies have questionable ethical standards. Baby milk powder was laced with melamine to inflate protein levels or some crap like that. And food companies presumably under more scrutiny than filter manufacturers

        • evgpek on 12/03/2024 - 16:38

          True, at least the reputation risk for the Xiaomi is higher

        • MagnamoniousRex on 12/03/2024 - 17:22

          Yeah you can't really trust a company you can't sue and China protects it's businesses.

          That said Xiaomi has a lot to lose in international markets and the main risk from materials is exgassing. You can get the worst of it out of the way just opening it up and leaving it outside for a couple of days.

      I'd be looking at sealing up your house once you've got an air purifier! I also live on a main road and do not have this problem so check where air is getting in and seal it…

    • JeremyDealFiend on 12/03/2024 - 15:38

      Might get rid of smells and you will have to dust less.

      Long term health. If I lived in China I’d definitely use it, not sure whether breathing in dead skin cells from your bedroom and other dirt increases risk of COPD or lung cancer significantly.

      Considering you live on a main road I’d say it’s worth it since the air you get from outside might contain toxic metals from exhaust fumes. Honestly hard to say without looking at the research.

        I wish people would stop bringing up these weird myths.

        Might get rid of smells and you will have to dust less.

        Smells- depends on how much carbon there is in a filter. Most filters have sweet FA carbon in them- including the Xiaomi filters, which I have. I have added carbon to Xiaomi filters via simple mods, but the default amount is laughable.

        Dust- the stuff that you end up vacuuming off the floor or wiping off your bookshelves…. purifiers are not designed to remove dust because 1) it's not a health hazard, 2) it is far bigger and heavier than the stuff they are designed to filter out so dust falls out of the air really, really fast and 3) if they were designed to filter dust they'd be blowing air so hard around the room it would be like having multiple fans on full blast- think clean rooms or commercial data centres where they have serious HVAC systems and they are windy AF.

        Long term health. If I lived in China I’d definitely use it, not sure whether breathing in dead skin cells from your bedroom and other dirt increases risk of COPD or lung cancer significantly.

        Purifiers are designed to remove extremely small particulate pollution that stays airborne for long periods (PM2.5 is the figure that HEPA is rated against). This is stuff that can go through the membranes of your lungs straight into your bloodstream. It's not to protect you against breathing in dead skin cells- your lungs and immune system are great at protecting against that already.

        I have a bunch of purifiers- used to live in China where I had half a dozen of them. I still have them in metro Sydney. I use none of them unless it's a bushfire day, then I'll fire one up. So perhaps 4 days in 2023. How did I know how many to use, where to place them, and how fast to run them? I use particle counters to measure pollution.

    • deadpoet on 12/03/2024 - 15:58
      +1

      I'm pretty skeptical that an air purifier is going to significantly reduce the amount of dust in your home. As the other person said, you should look into sealing the gaps that are letting the dust in. Remember that an air purifier can only suck in air from one location, whereas dust and dirt is probably getting in via lots of little cracks and gaps everywhere, and it'll settle on surfaces/the ground long before the air purifier can capture it.

    • dcash on 12/03/2024 - 20:44
      +1

      I can guarantee an air filter will make no noticeable difference to the level of dust you experience. I likewise live on a main road, have tried many different air filters (some much much larger than the Xiaomi), and while the air filter element does require cleaning semi-regularly, the amount it captures is minute compared to the amount that still settles on every surface of the room. My kids with allergies don't get any noticeable benefit either.

      • fredblogs on 12/03/2024 - 20:47

        which brand?

        • dcash on 13/03/2024 - 12:12

          Xiaomi obviously, plus LG, Blueair, Honeywell, and at least one other the name of which escapes me at present. As rumblytangara has mentioned above, they are useless for dust. They are simply not designed for that. How much of the smaller particulate matter they remove is also debatable IMO, unless you have a massive machine moving huge amounts of air. The Xiaomi on 'automatic' mode for instance, is next to useless for any situation — it just doesn't move enough air. Stick it on turbo mode in an appropriately sized room and would it help filter allergens? Probably. But you'd more than likely throw it out the window due to the noise, and just take a Zyrtec instead!

        • mattparra on 12/03/2024 - 19:55

          I added one of these filters to my 4 and it worked. The 3 and the 4 are about the same size. The 4 filter is the same height as this but the diameter is a littler bigger. This filter does fit in perfectly however and the xiaomi air purifier 4 recognises it as a new filter. It would not fit in the 4 pro

      • Clear on 12/03/2024 - 17:01

        So the 4 is perfectly happy with a smaller filter than the original?

        • mattparra on 12/03/2024 - 19:56

      Vacuum it thoroughly, then use a leaves blower to blow out the dust, wait a while, then use wet wipes or a rag to clean the dust that settles on surfaces. Change the cabin filter as per manufacturer's recommendation or more often if in a dusty envirinment. Try to use fresh instead of recycled air in fan settings, unless its smoky or very dusty outside.

    Someone mentioned to me that you can gently vacuum the used filter, put it back on again. Then reset the air purifier so that it stops nagging you via the app.

    @deadpoet This is completely sacrilegious, no?

    • deadpoet on 13/03/2024 - 10:29
      +1

      It depends how picky you are. HEPA filters naturally degrade with use, so yes you can ignore the warnings and keep using it, but it won't be working as effectively as a fresh filter.

      Also, as rumblytangara said above, there's no need to run your air purifier 24/7, you should be using a dedicated particulate monitor to figure out when the air quality is bad and you need to run the machine — I wouldn't necessarily rely on the built-in PM sensor in the Xiaomi machines, most consumer grade machines have very cheap sensors which aren't very good.

      Regardless though, gently vacuuming the filter every few months is a good idea in order to get rid of accumulated fluff/dirt on the outside of the filter. It's good housekeeping practice.

  • UncleRico on 17/03/2024 - 13:23

    My filters arrived, but unlike previous Xiaomi HEPA filters, these have no mention of HEPA anywhere on the packaging.or within.

    They still look the same as the usual grey HEPA filters, but it seems odd that the box wouldn’t make mention of it anywhere, since all the previous genuine Xiaomi filters I’ve received are labelled “Mi Air Purifier HEPA filter” compared to these ones which say “Mi Air Purifier High Efficiency filter”.

    Anyone else had the same, and if so do you think they’ve changed, or just new marketing nomenclature?

    • rumblytangara on 19/03/2024 - 15:02

      I've bought filters direct from Xiaomi before (as in, a physical official store) and the boxes made no mention of "HEPA" on them.

      I just checked one of their China-based sites:

      The difference between Xiaomi high-efficiency filter element and traditional HEPA filter elementCombines two filtration technologies: electrostatic charge and mechanical filtration. Xiaomi's high-efficiency filter media can remove 99.97% of suspended particles (as small as 0.3 microns), blocking dust, PM 2.5, pollen, pet dander, smoke and particulates. Compared with traditional HEPA filters, the Xiaomi high-efficiency filter allows more air to pass through the filter, allowing the air purifier to produce less noise and consume less energy, while maintaining the same cleaning efficiency.

      So they talk about running the same filtration capacity, but bring up some weird electrostatic mechanism. Not sure if this is a recent change or not, I didn't notice it a couple years ago when I bought filters.

      • UncleRico on 19/03/2024 - 16:53

        The latest batch of filters look identical to the last - the only difference being the total absence of the word HEPA on box or in the instruction leaflet.

        They may indeed be the same, but I was surprised that a product marketed as HEPA filter doesn’t make a single mention of it anywhere on the product, as it use to.

        • rumblytangara on 19/03/2024 - 17:00

          I wouldn't place any credence on visual appearance, unless you are going to tear the filter apart and look under a microscope. All I see on mine is a green mesh cover that hides any serious look at the filter (which is fair enough, who cares what it looks like).

          Is it still marketed as HEPA? I just had a quick look at the Oz site and didn't see the word HEPA anywhere.

          • UncleRico on 19/03/2024 - 19:00

            @rumblytangara: What’s “the Oz site”?

            Both Kogan and its listing here specifically called it a “ Xiaomi Mi HEPA Filter”.

            • rumblytangara on 19/03/2024 - 19:13

              @UncleRico:

              What’s “the Oz site”?

              https://mi-store.com.au/products/xiaomi-smart-air-purifier-4

              Matches the description found on an official China (HK) store.

              It's the first result when I searched "Xiaomi Austrtalia" not sure how official it is, but I would not pay much attention to Kogan copywriting, which I would assume has just been copy pasted to this thread.

              I don't think there's anything to worry about here. And if you are worried about it, the sensible next step is a particle counter. Like I said, I've been buying filters direct from Xiaomi for over five years and never once has the word HEPA appeared on them or the packaging.
