much, or how little, are you willing to pay for an air purifier? Here in China expats have been so accustomed to scandalously expensive air purifiers that we get suspicious if anything’s under 4,000 RMB — which still would be more costly than almost any high end model in America or Europe. But I just finished testing a half dozen models each under 1,000 RMB, and I’m now quite convinced that the lower-priced market can offer excellent value.</p> <p><a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/children/air-purifiers-for-the-other-99-percent-philips-ac4072/">I’ve tested</a> quite a few air purifiers during my eight years here in Beijing, and I honestly thought (hoped?) I was finished with the testing. But I recently was diagnosed with asthma, which really angered me as much as it scared me. In my anxious efforts to control my symptoms, I decided to ramp up my protection from air pollution <em>everywhere</em>: I threw out my N95 masks and now only use <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/children/my-personal-fit-testing-heres-the-best-pollution-mask-for-me/">N99</a>; and I’ve totally reassessed protection at home and at work. My goal remains getting 100% of my daily exposure to PM2.5 under the healthiest target of 10 ug/m3 (AQI <50), <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/indoor-pm2-5-under-10-a-noble-goal/">the WHO’s official target which I blogged about last year</a> and which I strongly feel should be everyone’s goal. I spent much of January testing more than a half dozen small air purifiers, all under 1,000 RMB, to assess which machines are best in small rooms, including my office as well as my bedrooms.</p> <p><strong>First, some background</strong></p> <figure style="width: 269px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[6][self::FIGURE]/*[1][self::IMG]" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/Airborne-particulate-size-chart.jpg/400px-Airborne-particulate-size-chart.jpg" alt="" width="269" height="300" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Particles and sizes</figcaption></figure> <p>I will repeat what I’ve said before:<em> all you need is a good filter and a strong fan</em>. Literally! Filter+fan. A decent filter is by far the priority, hopefully officially <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HEPA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">certified as a High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA</a>) filter, which in the US means 99.97% efficiency against PM0.3; the EU’s terminology is much more confusing, allowing HEPA ratings from 85% to almost 100% (more on this later). PM0.3 is short for “particulate matter of 0.3 microns size” which is essentially microscopic dust 10 times smaller than PM2.5; it’s importantly considered the most dangerous size that penetrates easiest into our lungs, causing the most harm.</p> <p>While a good filter is crucial, it’s actually <em>not</em> super critical <em>only</em> to have the most awesome Hyper-Nano-Xtra-HEPA filter, with multiple 9’s that impress and overwhelm the consumer. Yes, that level of filtration is totally cool, but those extra 9’s very possibly are clinically irrelevant and only add cost, not value. Also, if the fan sucks weakly and isn’t circulating your room air at least 5 times every hour (known as ACH, “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_changes_per_hour" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Air Changes per Hour</a>“) then the <em>total machine</em> isn’t good. A machine with a 99.9999% HEPA filter but a tiny fan absolutely may clean the air <em>less</em> effectively than an 85% filter with a massive fan.</p> <p>The same <em>filter+fan</em> concept applies for our ultra-expensive machines that many of us, including me, use at home for our big rooms. If they’re all humming away on a lower, noise-tolerable speed, then the air flow is <em>much</em> less efficient than their advertised <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_Air_Delivery_Rate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clean Air Delivery Rate</a> (CADR), which refers to its <em>max</em> fan setting — most likely <em>not</em> the speed you’re always running it. Thus your rooms’ pollution may be <em>much</em> higher than you assume. CADR is a bit of a gimmicky test created by the industry, not a health agency, and a machine’s max setting is usually incredibly loud and which <em>nobody</em> uses for routine use, especially in bedrooms. The CADR test in fact is only based on 20 minutes of data! It’s a totally impractical test for consumers in China as it tells us <em>nothing</em> about how we all use these machines here in China — always on, 24/7, at lower, quieter speeds which don’t impede conversations or sleeping. I completely don’t care if a machine wipes out all pollen and bacteria from the air; I want to know if a machine will <em>protect me from dying from long-term exposure to small particles</em> like smoke and dust — at a noise level that won’t drive me crazy. <em>That’s</em> the data we need — and of course don’t have, at least not from the manufacturers’ ads.</p> <figure style="width: 283px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[10][self::FIGURE]/*[1][self::IMG]" data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="" src="https://i0.wp.com/64.media.tumblr.com/fe0a708fa336fbe5eb1f18c9dc1b420e/tumblr_inline_n9klv7OARo1s4lgm1.jpg?resize=283%2C212&ssl=1" alt="" width="283" height="212" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Smart Air vs. Famous Brands</figcaption></figure> <p>Every <em>good </em>expensive machine is literally just an amazing HEPA filter with a strong fan. And that’s all you need — forget the rubbish about ionizers and ultraviolet light. A good machine absolutely does <em>not</em> have to be over 10,000 RMB, as Thomas Talhelm proved last year with his <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/pollution/a-200-rmb-diy-air-purifier/">consumer-revolutionary 200 RMB do-it-yourself air purifier</a>. His first machine was an <a href="https://smartairfilters.com/en//" target="_blank" rel="noopener">off-the-shelf 90 RMB HEPA filter</a> slapped with a velcro strap on top of a cheap plastic fan. And in <a href="https://particlecounting.tumblr.com/post/98424809631/new-tests-can-a-450-rmb-diy-remove-as-much" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his tests</a> — which I <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/pollution/a-200-rmb-diy-air-purifier/">confirmed on my own</a> — it performed about as well, or better than, far more expensive machines (see his data to the right). And why wouldn’t it? His HEPA filter, if you hold a particle monitor over it, filters 100% of both PM2.5 and PM0.5; only IQAir has had similarly perfect results in my tests. You may not be ready for Thomas’ ungainly <a href="https://smartair.world.taobao.com/?utm_source=Website&utm_medium=marketing%20medium&utm_campaign=product" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smart Air</a> models in your bedroom, but once you review his data you’ll certainly be much more open minded to the once heretical idea that an air purifier can be effective <em>and</em> affordable.</p> <p><strong>The machines</strong></p> <p>When I first arrived in Beijing over eight years ago, there were only a couple of choices for air purifiers. Now, hundreds of new models have flooded the market over the last couple of years, and I’m just as overwhelmed as you are when I search the Chinese shopping sites. There’s also very little independent testing or reviews (<a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/pollution/finally-great-data-on-air-purifiers-in-china/">I wrote about one here</a>, and <a href="https://jd.zol.com.cn/488/4889215.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here’s another</a>). My search priorities were: price under 1,000 RMB; famous international brands > Chinese models; filter rated HEPA or darn close; fan strength flow rate (CADR) at least matching what my office needed (which is <em>ROOM VOLUME x 5 ACH</em>; thus 21 m3 x 5 = 105 m3/hour airflow). Another real plus was the ability to filter formaldehyde or VOCs, but that wasn’t my priority. Separate pre-filters also are helpful — but uncommon at this price point.

For such smaller spaces, a huge Blueair or similar flagship machine would be expensive overkill and take up valuable floor space; thus my urge to test smaller models. I tested these machines over my lunch breaks, at <em>maximum</em> speed, with the doors closed, usually after flooding the room with outdoor air and then closing the window. My key data points were at 10 minutes and one hour (50 minutes), measuring the percentage drop in PM2.5 and PM0.5 using my completely-worth-the-cost<a href="https://amzn.to/4fiUqD1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Dylos 1700 particle monitor</a>. During the rest of the workday I would keep them on their more standard, quieter settings and do random checks. The results are all in the table below, but the take home points are:</p> <ul> <li><strong>All machines were generally effective at my key index of PM2.5 at 50 minutes of max speed: PM2.5 reductions ranged from 88-94%</strong>. Some got there a bit quicker, and at 10 minutes the Xiaomi’s clearly larger fan definitely shows off, already clearing 88% of PM2.5 with similar results for PM0.5. Again this shows the importance of fans as much as filters, and the Xiaomi’s CADR of 406 m3/h is double the size of the nearest competitor, the Midea.</li> <li>The Xiaomi needs to be clarified a bit: its max speed button only lasts 15 minutes and then reverts to auto, so its comparatively lower 50 minute data is harder to compare to the others because only the first 15 minutes are on max. But considering how at 10 minutes on max it was the leader, one could assume it would do at least as well if it had continued on max.</li> <li>The Air-O-Swiss clearly was the smallest model, with a CADR of 86 m3/h not close to the 105 that I needed, and it shows in the results. But it still wasn’t too bad. Most likely their larger 350 model would be more helpful — but it exceeded my admittedly arbitrary price rule under 1,000 RMB.</li> <li>The Panasonic and Philips both did fairly well — it’s just really too bad the Panasonic’s garish orange color makes it totally unprofessional for me to consider using. The Philips’ green is more acceptable, especially for a kid’s room, but still it’s not ideal.</li> <li>The Midea is a nicely handsome black and white model, something I wasn’t ashamed to show in the office, unlike the two above. Its larger size and fan speed also were borne out in the generally good results, especially with PM2.5.</li> <li>The Smart Air Original — the do-it-yourself 200 RMB filter and fan — performed at least as well at its more expensive cohorts, although a bit less so with the PM0.5. It’s not professional-looking enough for me to use, but it’s still a great value for students and the like, and it’s far better than using nothing at all (<a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/pollution/a-200-rmb-diy-air-purifier/">read my earlier review</a>).</li> <li>Noise levels on max speed wouldn’t be tolerable all day for any of the machines, but on their quieter levels were generally all OK for an office.</li> </ul> <figure id="attachment_10887" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10887" style="width: 558px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[19][self::FIGURE]/*[1][self::IMG]" data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="10887" data-permalink="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/attachment/office-air-purifier-test-result/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Office-Air-Purifier-Test-Result.jpg?fit=558%2C174&ssl=1" data-orig-size="558,174" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Office-Air-Purifier-Test-Result" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Office-Air-Purifier-Test-Result.jpg?fit=300%2C94&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Office-Air-Purifier-Test-Result.jpg?fit=558%2C174&ssl=1" class="wp-image-10887 size-full" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Office-Air-Purifier-Test-Result.jpg?resize=474%2C148&ssl=1" alt="Office-Air-Purifier-Test-Result" width="474" height="148" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Office-Air-Purifier-Test-Result.jpg?w=558&ssl=1 558w, https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Office-Air-Purifier-Test-Result.jpg?resize=300%2C94&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Office-Air-Purifier-Test-Result.jpg?resize=50%2C16&ssl=1 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10887" class="wp-caption-text">Air Purifier Results — Office (21 m3)</figcaption></figure> <p> </p> <p><strong>My favorites:</strong> I decided to test Xiaomi, Midea and Philips at home for the more important 8 hour results.

This test was different than my previous tests, which had always compared indoor to outdoor air. This time, I wanted to see their efficiency over 8 hours, especially after a standard challenge by filling the room with particles, closing the doors and continuously monitoring while we slept. My particle test used essential oils in a vaporizer, which can raise the entire house’s pollution levels shockingly high and quickly. A secondary test was the final hour’s raw data: did it keep my indoor air in the green zone most of the time?</p> <p>All machines this time were used on the quieter settings, not maximum as in the office tests. The great majority of tests were run in the larger master bedroom, which at 40 m3 (16 m2) needs airflow of 200 m3/hour. The smaller bedroom is 23 m3 (10 m2) and needs airflow >115 m3/hour.</p> <p>Just for fun, I also compared these against an <a href="https://www.raylient.com/shop/airgle-filters/airgle-ag-800/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Airgle AG800</a>, a much larger machine whose massive airflow of 763 m3/h easily should clean the air in such small rooms even at lower fan speeds.</p> <p><strong>The results, please</strong></p> <ul> <li>At the crucial <strong>8 hour mark</strong>, most machines performed quite well. For PM2.5, Blueair led the way at 99.9%, just edging out Xiaomi’s sleep mode at 99.8%, with most others close behind in 98-99% range. For the smaller PM0.5, Blueair again topped out at 99.9%, closely followed by Philips at 99.6 and Xiaomi at 99.5%.</li> <li>For <strong>short-term clearing within 1 hour</strong>, the Airgle did very well as you would expect for its huge fan, designed for much larger rooms. Otherwise, the budget machines from Xiaomi on auto and the Midea on low speed also did very well. (But the Xiaomi on auto comes at a slight cost, as its higher speeds to fight the incense are a bit louder and temporarily a bit distracting. And the Midea on low is a bit too loud for sleeping; fortunately the quieter sleep mode also did fairly well.)</li> <li>Another useful metric is the <strong>final hour’s raw data (particles per cubic foot/100)</strong>: My goal for PM2.5 is to always have the Dylos data stay under 50, which is roughly equivalent to 10 ug/3 (or AQI<50). The great news is that <em>every</em> machine’s final ranges were far under 50, including both cheaper models. For the trickier to control smaller PM0.5, the goal is a bit less clear but Charlie Thompson from my environmental testing company <a href="https://www.environment-assured.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Environment Assured</a> agrees that Dylos PM0.5 under 1,000 is the best equivalent to AQI<50. Using this cutoff, both the Philips and Blueair did extremely well, followed again by Midea and then Xiaomi in third. The larger machines from Airgle and IQAir surprisingly had some data over 1,000 — the only machines to do so.</li> <li><span class="pullquote">In <strong>overall performance</strong>, all three cheaper machines certainly held their own, and none of them were obviously inferior even to the larger machines.</span> The Midea posted impressive data even on their very quiet sleep mode. The Xiaomi also performed very well long-term and also was the best with short-term air clearing when in auto mode. The Philips also performed quite well with some very low raw data (but the outdoor air also was quite good that night, which helps a bit). For the three larger, far more expensive machines which on paper should have blown away their cheaper competition, only Blueair’s performance seemed obviously strongest, with the lowest raw data of all the machines in both particle sizes.</li> <li><span style="color: #800000;">CORRECTION March 18: new data from the incredible <a style="color: #800000;" href="http://aqicn.org/experiments/what-is-the-dylos-monitor-actually-measuring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dylos FAQ at aqicn.org</a> suggests that the left side number, PM0.5, actually is more representative of actual PM2.5 and the right side number represents PM10. Other data suggests that my PM0.5 goal of 1,ooo equals an AQI of 18 which actually is a bit of overkill; at 3,000 it equates to AQI of 53, just above the “green zone” of 50 (which equals a PM2.5 concentration of 12 in the USA). So anything under ~2,500 seems all to be in the green zone — which is great news as all my final hour raw data for PM0.5 was under 2,00 and often much less)</span></li> </ul> <figure id="attachment_10956" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10956" style="width: 629px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/air-purifier-bedroom-results-6.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[29][self::FIGURE]/*[1][self::A]/*[1][self::IMG]" data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="10956" data-permalink="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/attachment/air-purifier-bedroom-results-6/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/air-purifier-bedroom-results-6.jpg?fit=629%2C249&ssl=1" data-orig-size="629,249" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="air-purifier-bedroom-results-6" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="<p>Air Purifier Bedroom Results</p> " data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/air-purifier-bedroom-results-6.jpg?fit=300%2C119&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/air-purifier-bedroom-results-6.jpg?fit=629%2C249&ssl=1" class="wp-image-10956 size-full" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/air-purifier-bedroom-results-6.jpg?resize=474%2C188&ssl=1" alt="" width="474" height="188" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/air-purifier-bedroom-results-6.jpg?w=629&ssl=1 629w, https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/air-purifier-bedroom-results-6.jpg?resize=300%2C119&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.myhealthbeijing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/air-purifier-bedroom-results-6.jpg?resize=50%2C20&ssl=1 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10956" class="wp-caption-text">Air Purifier Results — Bedroom (40 m3)</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>My choices</strong></p> <p>For my office, my decision was fairly easy: I decided to go with Xiaomi due to performance, price and professional look. The Midea isn’t a bad second choice.</p> <p>For the bedrooms, my decisions have been a lot harder. Since I already had machines, I’d need a really good reason to replace them. For the new bedroom, I’ve decided to use the Xiaomi. For our other bedrooms, I’m still deciding but know I will replace the IQAir and possibly also the Blueair with either the Midea or the Xiaomi.</p> <p>I must talk a little bit more about Xiaomi’s air purifier, which is only on the market for three months but clearly may be very disruptive to the industry due to its novel design and incredible price. One very cool thing about Xiaomi which separates it from all the other machines is their app; their machines have built-in wifi which you can link inside their smart phone app and control the speed as well as get real-time data on the pollution inside the room, compared to the pollution outside (based on China MEP hourly data). This app even sends your phone an SMS telling you “the outdoor air is now clean and better than indoor air, it’s time to open the windows”! It also gives you real-time estimate of remaining filter life. It’s extraordinarily cool, even if a bit gimmicky — but this is my first foray into the exploding “connected home” phenomenon of intelligent, wifi-enabled home appliances, and I can definitely see the value in such data.</p> <p>But I do have some reservations about Xiaomi, mostly because it’s a newish company known mostly in the mobile phone market for value, not so much top quality. Their HEPA filter is <a href="https://www.mi.com/air/filter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advertised as H11</a>, which they claim is 99.3% efficient, which is not the highest rated top-line HEPA of 99.97%; but clearly their massive fan more than compensates for this, which accounts for its essentially similar, sometimes superior, results to the more expensive machines. As I said before, it’s the <em>combination</em> of fan+filter that’s the key.</p> <p>Other negatives about Xiaomi are the newness of the machine. Since their air purifier is only a few months old, there’s no track record on maintenance or reputation. It’s also extremely difficult to buy on their own website due to their very unusual direct-selling marketing techniques; you can’t just order it, you have to first click to “reserve” and then on Tuesday at noon you and thousands of other people return to the website to buy, first come first served.

This limited availability really disturbs me — what if the refill filters become hard to find?</p> <p>These uncertainties are the main reasons why I didn’t replace my entire house with Xiaomi; otherwise, their price point and value are <em>exactly</em> the kind of disruptive innovation that the air purifier market in China desperately needs.</p> <p><strong>The Bottom Line (Finally!)</strong></p> <p>To summarize, I hope I’ve demonstrated that there are indeed many air purifiers far, far less than 10,000 RMB which may be perfectly adequate for your smaller room needs.

some Philips purifiers for our apartment. Philips 4012 for the bedrooms and a 4072 for the living room. But do you think they will be a bit small for our needs based on the CADR?</p> <p>Bedroom 1 18m2 and 50m3<br /> Bedroom 2 13m2 and 35m3<br /> Living room/dining/lounge 44m2 and 123m3</p> <p>I am now thinking that the Xiaomi machines would be more suitable and cheaper. I agree with your reservations about replacement filters/maintenance etc, but they seem such a good machine……..</p> <p>I am going to get 1 each for the bedrooms.</p> <p>For the Living room, do you think 2 Xiaomi purifiers would be okay or should I buy 1 larger (and more expensive) purifier that would do the job on its own?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29689-6749bcf369b7c' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29689&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29689-6749bcf369b7c' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29689-6749bcf369b7c'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-29693" class="comment byuser comment-author-rstcyrmd bypostauthor even depth-2 parent"> <article id="div-comment-29693" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[2][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[1][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ad24a2fe5cacff941d1461269a45f3b?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ad24a2fe5cacff941d1461269a45f3b?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Richard Saint Cyr MD</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29693"><time datetime="2015-03-06T23:39:58-08:00">March 6, 2015 at 11:39 pm</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Don’t forget that last step of multiplying your room volume x 5 to assess if it matches CADR of a machine. So the CADR of the 4012 is pretty small even for the bedrooms. The 4072 of course is higher but for the cost, Xiaomi certainly is a good value. So the living room needs CADR of 615 m3/h and 2 Xiaomi machines, since each does 406 m3/h, should be adequate. Even 3 machines still isn’t even 3000 RMB total cost…</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29693-6749bcf36a157' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29693&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29693-6749bcf36a157' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29693-6749bcf36a157'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-29699" class="comment odd alt depth-3 parent"> <article id="div-comment-29699" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[2][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[1][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[1][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eb6847b0ac8568e0f1dbee4857305ad7?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eb6847b0ac8568e0f1dbee4857305ad7?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Mark</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29699"><time datetime="2015-03-08T03:34:41-07:00">March 8, 2015 at 3:34 am</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>JD and Tmall are both out of stock for the xiaomi machines. So I have registered with Xiaomi and will see if I get lucky on Tuesday noon. It seems you can only reserve one at a time so I will be trying Jd and Tmall on Tuesday as well.<br /> Being a little impatient I bought the Philips ac 4074 (2800rmb) and put it in my main bedroom. On auto it went from red to blue in about an hour and during automatic night mode it seems to have shut down. I’m assuming it thinks air is good.<br /> If I can buy 3 xiaomi machines next week they will only cost me slightly more than the 1 Philips</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29699-6749bcf36a697' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29699&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29699-6749bcf36a697' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29699-6749bcf36a697'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li id="comment-29703" class="comment byuser comment-author-rstcyrmd bypostauthor even depth-3 parent"> <article id="div-comment-29703" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[2][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[1][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[2][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ad24a2fe5cacff941d1461269a45f3b?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ad24a2fe5cacff941d1461269a45f3b?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Richard Saint Cyr MD</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29703"><time datetime="2015-03-08T12:54:14-07:00">March 8, 2015 at 12:54 pm</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Good luck with Xiaomi, you’re going to need it. they sell out ridiculously quickly…generally I’m not a fan of auto mode even on the expensive machines, I just don’t trust their built in sensors and would rather control up and down myself…</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29703-6749bcf36ac07' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29703&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29703-6749bcf36ac07' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29703-6749bcf36ac07'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li id="comment-29761" class="comment odd alt depth-3"> <article id="div-comment-29761" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[2][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[1][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[3][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eb6847b0ac8568e0f1dbee4857305ad7?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eb6847b0ac8568e0f1dbee4857305ad7?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Mark</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29761"><time datetime="2015-03-20T03:23:26-07:00">March 20, 2015 at 3:23 am</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Well, after 2/3 weeks of trying i was unable to buy the Xiaomi machine.

There’s an explosion of autoimmune disorders here that seems to have a lot to do with indoor air quality.

I am convinced they are equal to other machines in terms of PM2.5 filtration, and of course their price is great, even if the looks are kind of rough. But I’ve not seen any data (unless I’m missing it?) on how they do with indoor pollution worries. That’s a huge issue here, which has come home to me as my upstairs neighbors do a complete remodel that has sent naseating and dizzying stench into my 90sqm apartment, which has two Alen air 375s and one Alan Paralda running in it. Even that much extra filtration (that much Alen should be good for 150sqm place) wasn’t able to keep it completely at bay, though it did clear out pretty quickly. People often ask me if the DIY smart ones aren’t good enough, and of course they’re better than nothing. When comparing PM numbers, yeah, they’re good enough. But what about these other concerns? Should we really be saying they’re “as good” or “comparable” to more expensive models if they can’t deal with formaldahyde or other VOCs? If anyone knows of data with these cheaper machines, especially the Smart ones, that deals with this issue I’d be grateful to know about it.</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29726-6749bcf36d859' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29726&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29726-6749bcf36d859' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29726-6749bcf36d859'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-29757" class="comment byuser comment-author-rstcyrmd bypostauthor odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-29757" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[7][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[1][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ad24a2fe5cacff941d1461269a45f3b?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ad24a2fe5cacff941d1461269a45f3b?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Richard Saint Cyr MD</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29757"><time datetime="2015-03-19T22:28:19-07:00">March 19, 2015 at 10:28 pm</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>The DIY guys at Smartair looked into this and designed a carbon filter for VOCs, here’s the data <a href="http://particlecounting.tumblr.com/post/105818344169/does-carbon-really-work" rel="nofollow ugc">http://particlecounting.tumblr.com/post/105818344169/does-carbon-really-work</a> Bottom line, it works as all carbon would against VOCs — but most homes don’t need this nearly as much as a HEPA filter for PM2.5 and smaller…</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29757-6749bcf36dbfc' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29757&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29757-6749bcf36dbfc' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29757-6749bcf36dbfc'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> </li> </ol> </li> <li id="comment-29735" class="comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> <article id="div-comment-29735" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[8][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/79187d5a2c181b9471f15cce3aa3a299?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/79187d5a2c181b9471f15cce3aa3a299?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Benoist</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29735"><time datetime="2015-03-15T17:40:54-07:00">March 15, 2015 at 5:40 pm</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Thanks for all your posts.<br /> I read some of them and also the comments.<br /> I’m looking for a review of particles tester, as the Dylos 1700 you used.

Then what’s the use of the “stay indoor” recommendation? Just to reduce activity and therefore breathing? </p> <p>Also, I don’t go running if AQI is above 50 (US), meaning I haven’t been for two weeks here in Shanghai. I very much dislike running on a treadmill but I was thinking about going to a gym anyway. Now if inside air is as bad as outside that doesn’t seem like a good alternative. Maybe some do but I have never heard of a fitness club advertising purified air.</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29767-6749bcf36e5b7' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29767&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29767-6749bcf36e5b7' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29767-6749bcf36e5b7'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-29773" class="comment byuser comment-author-rstcyrmd bypostauthor odd alt depth-2 parent"> <article id="div-comment-29773" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[10][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[1][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ad24a2fe5cacff941d1461269a45f3b?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ad24a2fe5cacff941d1461269a45f3b?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Richard Saint Cyr MD</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29773"><time datetime="2015-03-22T11:15:54-07:00">March 22, 2015 at 11:15 am</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>thanks for the comments; yes in general, outside air pollution diffuses into homes so indoor air PM2.5 is relative to outdoor air, maybe 50-80% in my experience. So of course it’s only helpful to stay indoors if you’re using air purifiers inside to really make a difference. Regarding gyms, i’ve heard many differing stories ranging from windows and doors open (bad idea) to having air purifiers installed (great idea). As far as running outside, your cutoff of 50 is a bit extreme, why not wear an n95 mask when running? even on slightly polluted days, running outside is still far better for your health than no running at all.</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29773-6749bcf36e9bc' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29773&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29773-6749bcf36e9bc' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29773-6749bcf36e9bc'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-29775" class="comment even depth-3"> <article id="div-comment-29775" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[10][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[1][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[1][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8da7427530d281e4a8437f8b65c189f1?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8da7427530d281e4a8437f8b65c189f1?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Marco</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29775"><time datetime="2015-03-22T12:43:03-07:00">March 22, 2015 at 12:43 pm</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>I was using 50 because where I come from (Switzerland) that’s when they start to take measures like broadcasting warnings and reducing speed on the freeways. And when running one breathes how many times more than when resting? 10 times? That would then be like an AQI of 500. But I agree that this might be extreme and I’ll use 100 as a new cutoff and see if it doesn’t burn too much.</p> <p>I gave up trying to wear a balaclava when cycling in cold weather after 2 minutes because condensation was a problem. I was thinking running with a mask would be the same and make it hard to breath. I’ll have to give it a try though (and generally wear a mask which I never do, I’m new to this environment.)</p> <p>Thank you very much for your comments and recommendations.</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29775-6749bcf36ee82' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29775&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29775-6749bcf36ee82' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29775-6749bcf36ee82'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> </li> <li id="comment-29774" class="comment odd alt thread-even depth-1 parent"> <article id="div-comment-29774" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[11][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/35801df30d9ac06dd949d9618a169eda?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/35801df30d9ac06dd949d9618a169eda?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">G W</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29774"><time datetime="2015-03-22T11:20:34-07:00">March 22, 2015 at 11:20 am</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>your finding was referred at his blog: <a href="http://blog.sciencenet.cn/blog-583426-875451.html" rel="nofollow ugc">http://blog.sciencenet.cn/blog-583426-875451.html</a></p> <p>“ a day in Beijing is like smoking one sixth of a cigarette.

Is 12mg the total amount of PM2.5 by burning of a cigarette? Or only the amount inhaled by the smoker, which must be a very small percentage since majority of the smoke(PM2.5) would likely be difused to the air?

Their other data on the lower part is the PM2.5 concentration for outer air as measured hourly by the governmental machines — usually the closest monitoring tower to your home.</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29810-6749bcf3714a6' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29810&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29810-6749bcf3714a6' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29810-6749bcf3714a6'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li id="comment-29820" class="comment even depth-2 parent"> <article id="div-comment-29820" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[13][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[2][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eb6847b0ac8568e0f1dbee4857305ad7?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eb6847b0ac8568e0f1dbee4857305ad7?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Mark</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29820"><time datetime="2015-03-28T01:13:14-07:00">March 28, 2015 at 1:13 am</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Hi Steve,</p> <p>Did you buy direct with xiaomi or resellers?</p> <p>Did you notice if there were any filters for sale?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-11794202-29820-6749bcf371997' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=11794202&comment_id=29820&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-29820-6749bcf371997' data-name='like-comment-frame-11794202-29820-6749bcf371997'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class="sd-link-color" rel="ugc"></a></div> </div> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-29843" class="comment byuser comment-author-rstcyrmd bypostauthor odd alt depth-3"> <article id="div-comment-29843" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[2][self::OL]/*[13][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[2][self::LI]/*[2][self::OL]/*[1][self::LI]/*[1][self::ARTICLE]/*[1][self::FOOTER]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[1][self::IMG]" alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ad24a2fe5cacff941d1461269a45f3b?s=34&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ad24a2fe5cacff941d1461269a45f3b?s=68&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-34 photo' height='34' width='34' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Richard Saint Cyr MD</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/china-public-health/the-best-air-purifiers-under-1000-rmb-my-test-results/#comment-29843"><time datetime="2015-03-30T10:20:35-07:00">March 30, 2015 at 10:20 am</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>I bought from resellers, it was impossible on their own site.

You mention this California article but in fact Blueair is in their list of safe air purifiers <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/aircleaners/certified.htm" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/aircleaners/certified.htm</a> Consumer Reports also usually ranks Blueair super high and they don’t rank ionizers… but having said that, I’ve talked to a few experts who always mention concerns that Blueair still leaves “sticky” charged particles all over the room and furniture.
