Our user CJ works for an air filter manufacturer and reported to us in detail and expertly to the Mi air purifier, after he could test the device in his company. The filter element itself and the entire package were tested. According to Xiaomi, the filter has the H11 standard, which would already be a good value, but the test showed H13, which means that the filter is one of the highly efficient filters with a filter performance of up to 99.95%. This would leave only H14, which would mean a performance of 99.9%, the average value for an air purifier is H11.

The Xiaomi air purifier is not only very stylish, but can produce up to 388m³ clean air per hour and filters formaldehydes (didn’t know this was a big problem), smoke, dust and also PM2.5 particles (fine dust). Particles of size 0.1 μm-0.3μm are filtered out. Particles of size 0.1 μm are so small that they are not filtered by our lungs and enter the bloodstream directly. The technicians in CJ’s office were enthusiastic. It can also be used via app (Android, iOS), which allows switching between automatic mode, sleep mode, high-speed mode and plan mode. The power consumption is 31 watts.

Especially for pollen allergy sufferers such air purifiers are recommended and also this can be recommended, not least because it happens so rarely that a Chinese manufacturer exercises himself in modesty with the product application (H11 indicated instead of H13 in the laboratory result). So if you want to do something good for yourself and your surroundings, you should think about the purchase. Replacement filters for the air purifier are also available.
