Smartmi Air Purifier 2 Cleans Larger Spaces With Advanced Technology

In a world where allergies are on the rise, it is important to find ways to keep those around you healthy. One way to do this is by using an air purifier. At its foundation, an air purifier is designed to remove pollutants and other contaminants from the air in your home. These pollutants can include harmful gases, dust, smoke, and, of course, allergens. Air purifiers come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be used in either residential or commercial settings.

Even though our family doesn’t suffer from asthma, we try to utilize air purifiers throughout our home to ensure that we don’t develop any respiratory issues. One of the most versatile purifiers we have is the Smartmi P1 Air Purifier.

The unit is designed for compact smaller spaces and features advanced technologies such as a dual-purpose laser particle sensor that monitors indoor air quality as well as a True HEPA filter that removes 99.98% of particles down to 80nm. So, when Smartmi launched the Smartmi Air Purifier 2, we decided to check it out.

About Smartmi Air Purifier 2

The Smartmi Air Purifier 2 follows the design success of the Smartmi P1 Air Purifier and it’s one of the first air purifiers to receive TÜV Rheinland “Allergy Care” Certification. The device is sleek and minimalistic. It is rated for cleaning up to 484 square feet per hour. It can effectively remove airborne particles 0.08 micrometers in size.

Smartmi suggests that it’s good for bedrooms, nurseries, studies, living rooms, and offices. The purifier only consumes 40W of energy and operates at noise levels between 30dB to 64dB. There are three modes – Auto, Favorite, and Sleep – that allow users to customize the operation of the purifier based on their lifestyle.

User Experience

The Smartmi Air Purifier 2 comes in a large box with several images of the product on all sides. There are some details included on the box including the icons that indicate the device is compatible with smart home technologies. The purifier is a self-contained unit and no assembly is required. The only step you have to take for setup is to remove the plastic from the filter. Once you replace the filter back into the purifier, you are ready to plug it into power.

The Air Purifier powers up relatively quickly and it’s ready to pair to your app. Smartmi is one of the easiest smart device ecosystems I’ve ever worked with. The app gives users the option to add a device. The Air Purifier is immediately found and you put in your WiFi credentials. Then, after you agree to their privacy policy and user agreement, the purifier is ready to use. In less than 5 minutes, you are ready to start cleaning your air.

After I got the purifier connected, it was stating that the filter had 0% life left. I knew this had to be a glitch because it was a brand new filter. I removed the filter and reset it in its housing then the app recognized that the filter was at 100%.

The app is very easy to use and it gives you a decent amount of information, but I do wish the air quality graphs could provide more information. The PM2.5 graph shows increases and decreases in the air quality but doesn’t point out why. It actually doesn’t even show the exact measurements of the air quality. I would love to see additional views for the data that is collected in the app. I love what the app already does, but would like to see it move up to the next level.

Pros:

• Easy set-up; no assembly
• Quick connection to app and Wi-Fi
• Automatic mode is great for users to ‘set and forget’ the purifier

Cons:

• Limited information available in the app about the air quality
• More expensive than competitors

Conclusion

The Smartmi Air Purifier 2 is a great air purifier for larger spaces. It is easy to use and cleans the air quickly and effectively. The purifier is available through Amazon and has a suggested retail price of $259.99. The purchase price is about 20% higher than some of its competitors, but given its incredibly easy setup and user modes, I would say that it’s worth the investment. I would definitely recommend this air purifier to anyone who is looking for an easy-to-use and effective air purifier.
