Great Value Performance W/ Smart Home Integration
I was looking at getting HEPA air purifiers since COVID, but never pulled the trigger as they were fairly expensive, but with a newborn on the way and some pets (1 dog, 4 ferrets) I decided now was the time.I stumbled upon these during a lightning sale and bought one which somehow arrived the next day. I was able to quickly set it up and add it in the app. I was pleased with the rather compact size, despite being able to cover a large 1k sqft downstairs area.I put it in auto mode and didn’t even realize it was on at first (it’s super quiet in low mode). Air quality indicated green which was a good thing. It sat doing its thing for a few hours and I’m not sure if it was in my head, but the air felt a bit crisper / fresh. With that said, I wasn’t really even sure I needed it as it stayed green the whole time and on low. However, once we started making dinner, I heard the unit kick up into high gear and wondered if the dog (who kept sniffing it) maybe touched the capacitive buttons up top to put it on high instead of auto (there is a lock button to prevent this).To my surprise, the sensor was showing as red and it automatically kicked up the speed to filter the PM 2.5 (likely from searing steaks) it was detecting out of the air. As I was eating i watched the air quality indicator move from red to blue and then back to green and the unit went back into the low / silent operating mode.It was at that point I was glad I made the purchase, and it opened my eyes to the fact that our indoor air quality is not as good as I thought, and I went back into Amazon and immediately purchased another unit (still on discount) to use in our upstairs master bedroom / baby nursery area.The only knock against this air purifier is that it doesn’t tell you the PM 2.5 reading within the app or on the air purifier (just says excellent, good, poor). I then saw Govee makes air quality monitors which were also on sale (show temperature, PM2.5, humidity) and bought 2.I put one monitor downstairs on the other side of the house from the air purifier, and you can also set automation in the app so that if the air quality drops at the monitor, it will kick up the speed and filtering of the Gover HEPA air purifiers even if the sensor in that unit hasn’t been triggered yet. I put the other monitor upstairs on the other side of the room from the air purifier near the baby crib.For the next few days, I found myself watching the air quality monitor readout of of PM 2.5 bounce around, and found it interesting the various things that cause it to spike (drying hair, opening door to garage, etc). I was fascinated just watching the PM 2.5 number creep up, the spike being detected by the monitor and/or air purifiers kicking into high, and then seeing the PM 2.5 number come back down to zero.After a few weeks, I decided to check the filter on the air purifier near where the ferrets room and dog sleeps to see if they were dirty or what it picked up. I was surprised to already see a decent amount of hair and dust on the washable pre-filter. I cleaned it and put it back in and was happy I went with this one for pets, as it should allow me to get more longevity out of the HEPA filter instead of that getting clogged up by pet hair and dust right away.Overall, the value for money is great, it doesn’t have ozone or UV like some other more expensive units, but to be honest I was also reading that ozone isn’t the greatest for indoor air quality and not sure how effective the UV light really is on those other units. I like the compact size, yet on high it has impressive air flow and can quickly filter through the air even in my large 1,250 sqft downstairs area. I do wish though that the intake wasn’t on the back, as you can’t put it right up against a wall, though it does also have 2 inlets from the sides on the rear which will help if you decide to do that.The ability to integrate it into the Govee app and pair with other products for smart home automation is also great. I now plan on getting some Govee dehumidifiers and humidifiers as the monitors have also opened my eyes to our humidity not always being in the ideal range.
