Review of Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 or how to clean the air of the metropolis?
Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 is the second modification of the Xiaomi air purifier. This device is included in the Xiaomi product line for the smart home, so naturally it has WiFi and it can be controlled from the app. However, the application serves more to transmit information about the environment, and the main function of Mi Air is controlled by one button. But let's get everything in order.
I think it is worth starting with the fact that Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 is not officially supplied to Russia and was primarily created for the Chinese market, but when I posted the Mi Air photo on Instagram - it turned out that many of my friends already know about its existence and have been thinking about it for a long time about his purchase, so that the first days I spent describing the first impression to friends. And, looking ahead, I will say that Xiaomi again pleased.
This is not a small gadget, half a meter high and a quarter of a meter wide, so there were concerns about shipping from China.
However, delivery bypassing Russian mail using the Priority Direct Mail, that is, by courier to an apartment in Moscow was free (which is rare for such a large package), so the risks were significantly reduced. And, soon, I got my box.
The delivery is very simple: cleaner, cable, filter and instructions.
A separate story came out with a cable that came with a three-plug socket for which I did not even have an adapter.
However, another standard of connectors helped out - in the cleaner itself (where power is inserted) there was a painfully familiar connector and the solution came instantly.
It is not difficult to guess that this is a normal cable that plugs into the power supply of most laptops. (So I recommend to order the right cable right away for $ 1.62). And finally, it worked.
The cleaner looks very presentable: good materials, light colors and thoughtful minimalistic design do their job. At the bottom there are holes through which air is drawn in, and a large fan on the lid.
Immediately on the lid is located the main button to control the cleaner. With its help, the cleaner starts working, and if you press it a little longer, it completes the work. It is also designed to switch to one of the three modes:
- Automatic (analyzes the air and itself increases or decreases the fan speed)
- Night (works in the quietest mode, almost silently)
- Favorite (you can manually program the speed / noise level using the application )
The main functions of this device are not design and convenience, but air purification from harmful gases and small particles.
The purifier is able to carry through up to 380 cubic meters of air every hour and it will be enough to clean the air in the room to 46.6 square meters. At the same time, it is able to independently and in real time monitor the state of the environment and automatically adjust the speed of work. So that not only he knows about the state of the air - the indicator on the front panel is on, which can be lit with red, yellow and green light depending on the air condition.
Of the practical properties of the manufacturer claims:
- Remove odors after smoking - Remove
dust from the air
- Remove formaldehyde
In general, leaves only clean air, which is beneficial to the health of all inhabitants of the home or office.
As for the filter, it is very easy to get it by opening the back cover of the cleaner. On the inside of this cover you can read the instructions for replacing this filter.
By the way, when the time comes to change the filter (after 6 months), the indicator on the rear panel will tell about it. And in the application, you can always see how many days are left until the filter is replaced.
In order to connect to Mi Air, you need to download the MiHome application ( Android or iOS ). After downloading the application, you need to connect to WiFi — which distributes Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 and in MiHome add a new device, following the steps suggested by the application. As a result, you will have a new application on your device, which will be named as you called your Mi Air - I have this Dronk Air.
Having entered this application, we will see the main interface and the conditional air condition number.
In addition to controlling the main functions (on / off / switching modes) - in the application you can see the air temperature in the room, humidity, condition assessment (there can be from humid to excellent), your location (if allowed) and how many days the filter remains to work.
Of the useful additional functions:
1. Protection against children (that is, all the buttons on the filter itself will stop working if activated)
2. There is a detailed instruction with pictures in the section about the device
3. Updating the cleaner firmware with one button (2-3 minutes updated, taking into account the device reboot)
4. Automatic timer on and off (you can drive the air only when someone is at home)
5. Turn off all beeps if annoying
6. Turn off the light indications so as not to interfere
And a few more trifles. The application is updated frequently and periodically something new appears.
To the appearance of absolutely no complaints. This is a very beautiful device that can decorate any home. But it is important to find him a suitable place so that there is enough space on the sides and front (10-20cm) to take in air.
As for the application, sometimes there still can be found hieroglyphs and it is absolutely impossible to meet the Russian word, but this does not prevent using Mi Air at all. To understand the interfaces, knowledge of the basics of the English language is sufficient, but otherwise everything is very simple and intuitive.
I can not say for sure that with the help of this gadget, health will significantly improve, but the lack of dust in the air and the general awareness that the air in my apartment will be passed through a filter gives us hope that this year we will breathe better. From the first noticeable sensations (perhaps not related to the operation of the device, but simply due to other factors) - in the bedroom is now not so stuffy and it became more comfortable to sleep. But, in any case, summer comes to the street, which means there will be a lot of road dust in the air and Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 is designed to save us from it. Soon we will learn what and how intensively our filter is clogged, but it is already clear that either our filter will be clogged with this or our lungs. Perhaps the filter is better. :)
And finally, I bought a filter on GearBest for $ 162.99*, considering the free delivery by courier to the apartment.
