What Air Purifier to buy?

have seen so many posts on reddit about the same. and it has been so weird that i have checked the filters twice on sqair in case they are facing the right direction and are in fact out of plastic wrapping.
 
Have you been able to check how effective sqair is for that specific room?
 
nope. mi sensors are pretty shit so would have to buy a dedicated sensor for it. i am more curious about lasko which does not have hepa filters lol. sqair has hepa so it should be fine. though i doubt, any of the purifiers at home is able to drop the pm value to under 40 as showcased in the image on the previous page. today was better than yesterday and mi one was hovering between 90 and 100.
 
I am done with mi personally. If you don't need smart features, get a sqair. If you need app control, get a Philips perhaps. Off these two models, I would suggest lite coz ionizers are not good on purifiers.

I do own like 5 models lol. Gave away two years.
 
Older Mi purifiers are known for unreliable Air Quality sensors. Something to be kept in mind while considering them (Mi Purifiers).

Seems like shit as usual. But the point of this video is cleaning the sensor, so one might as well buy a blower while at it.
 
Yup, since these sensors pushes air inside via it's little fan, it will gather dust which in turn causes less air to go in to the sensor to report the correct values.
