PROs – Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2
A lot of advantages emanate from using the Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2. Some of these are discussed below;
Updated Air flow System
Xiaomi has been able to update their air flow system in order to create a small-sized but very efficient and powerful air flow system. Thus, the Mi Air Purifier 2 has been optimised and improved from the previous version to suit the needs of the customers. Once the device has been started by pressing the Power/Start button, the device begins. The first step is to absorb the air in the room and filter it with the fitted high quality filter.
It then directs the clean air up towards the ceiling. The next step is to push out the air onto the walls and spread them to all sides of the room. With this, the clean air is circulated in large quantities across the room thus providing a cleaner environment.
Optimised to perform quietly
By fitting this device with a brushless electric motor produced by NIDEC, a famous Japanese firm, Xiaomi has been able to optimise the Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 to perform more quietly and economically as well. Power usage is equally reduced by a whopping 58%.
Also, in order to further minimise noise, Xiaomi has been able to implement the law of aerodynamics which ensures that there is less noise when air is smoothly and quickly passed through the device. It may take you a while to realize that the device is indeed still working especially if you are a first time user.
Easy Control and Usage
To further allow for ease of usage and control for you, Xiaomi has developed a smartphone software application for use with the Mi Air Purifier 2. By connecting your Air Purifier to your smartphone, you are able to operate it right from your phone, adjust its operating mode and test the quality of air in your home.
Also, by optimising it to act smartly, the Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 is capable of learning some of your habits. It senses when you are about to sleep and turns to sleep mode. Once you’re up, it automatically reverts to normal mode.
In order to provide a comfortable atmospheric temperature, the Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 has been fitted with temperature sensors that are able to sense the humidity levels of your apartment and automatically make the necessary adjustments.
Support for Two Major Operating Systems
Another advantage of this device is that it supports the two major operating systems: Android and iOS. As such, users of any of these devices can easily install the application provided by Xiaomi and intended for this device and begin to use it with their smart phones.
Cheap Price and Lightweight
The Xiaomi Air Purifier 2 is expected to retail for about $155. At this price, it is quite cheap when you consider the features it brings to the table. Also, its light nature ensures that you can comfortably move it around without exerting much pressure.
Cons
Absence of Auto-Shut/off Timer
On this device, there is the glaring absence of an auto shut/off timer which means that you’d have to manually turn it off when you are done using it.
There is the need to change the air filter every few months
In order to effectively purify the air in your home, you would need to change your device’s air filter every few months as it would be worn out after a few months of usage. It inadvertently means you might need to change the filter two or three times every year. The filter is expected to cost $33, and at that price, you might be spending quite a lot in about two years.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 is a very useful device in today’s growing economy in that it solves one of the major problems of big cities – Air Pollution. By quietly performing its duties, Xiaomi assures you of cleaner air, better sleeping period and a healthier lifestyle for you and members of your family.
