Xiaomi - Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Pro

I've had the Xiaomi Smart 4 Pro about a year now; I'd compare it to an Apple experience. The app is slick and stable, the features are satisfying and there's plenty to tweak for automation and comfort. The modes are fine, not disturbing in sleep. AQI readings, temp and humidity in the app and on the display. Simple setup, takes a few minites and is pretty direct. The performance is...fine. The filter lasted a full 10 mo/s of 3hr/full and bedtime mode/overnight daily. Electricity cost is minimal. Filters are ¥400 and have an rfid encrypted chip so you MUST buy one from Xiaomi. They also 'activate' once swapped out so when the xiaomi app says you have 0% life and need to change that's the end of the discussion. you can't just hose it down and dry it off. Same BS as most ink cartridge manufacturers. Kind of them to send a notification toast gor the xiaomi.com store page to purchase directly. The pocket looters even ask if you want to automate purchases for filters in the future. Bumped it when cleaning once and knocked it over. It wouldn't register a proper seal on the back door after and became useless. I contacted customer care through the app. Only moderately annoying (full language barrier). They sent a tech out to collect it, repair it, and return it pro bono within 72 hrs. I believe the warranty is a year or something. ¥1200 for the 4 pro model. Apartment is 25sq/m and consistently sits at ~005 (PM2.5/m^3). So yeah. It's fine. It's the Apple experience. Pay more, get premium-skinned ego boost with a dash of convenience.

I use the Smart Air 4 for small rooms and Smart Air 4 pro for big rooms. I think there might be a newer model out, and I always get the global version. Been using this brand for years.

I have one of the Chinese xiaomi large format ones, keeps all the dust particles out of the air. You can see the difference in the sunlight. Air purifier pro 4. Strongly recommend, does my kitchen/dining/lounge area no problems. 100m2 ish.

I added all my Xiaomi ones - 1st gen, 2nd gen and 4 Pro - to Apple Home via Homebridge. Kinda straightforward and expose data like temperature, humidity, air quality to Apple Home too.

I second that. I use the Xiaomi 4 Pro and it gets the job done. High airflow, low noise level and HEPA filter quality.

Looks interesting, but not as widely available as a Xiaomi. The Xiaomi 4 Pro and the Smartair SA-600 appear to have the most directly comparible CADR ratings (500 vs 508 claimed) Prices are from Lazada Xiaomi store or WEDO air, an official supplier of SmartAir in Thailand [SmartAir SA-600 Review](https://housefresh.com/smart-air-sa600-review/) Cost: 10900 [Xiaomi 4 Pro](https://housefresh.com/xiaomi-4-pro-review/) Cost 7010 SmartAir Replacement Filter cost (Requires 2X HEPA plus 2X Carbon) 990+890= 1880 Xiaomi Replacement Filter cost (1 HEPA, with built in Carbon filter) 1349 The SA-600 is fully manual, basically a box fan with a filter. The Xiaomi has an air quality meter and an auto mode.

Depends. Earlier/cheaper models do give a lower AQI. Higher end models with laser sensors don't. My Xiaomi Pro purifier is much more accurate than my 3H was.

Xiaomi is THE best, as they are properly engineered devices with extremely good airflow (airflow is much more important than filter technology). However, Xiaomi has gotten a bit expensive over the years. The filter availability can sometimes be an issue; however, local manufacturers like Filter House from Lahore can build these filters for you, in case you cannot find the branded ones. My recommendation is that you shouldn't get any cheap home-made purifiers that you may come across on social media. They are built on vibes, and don't have proper air flow. The main problem is that local DIY gurus put Rs.400 server fans on air purifiers, which cannot clean air even if the filter is kinda good. I must reiterate that flow rate is king. And cheap server fans don't have the static pressure necessary to overcome the resistance of HEPA filters. Only buy local DIY options if you are certain that the flow rate is VERY good. The only local manufacturer that I'd recommend is Royal Fans. They have good warranty and spare parts. Royals Fans has decided to have a permanent presence in the local air purifier market, and they are getting better with every passing year. All other companies are just importing $40 air purifiers from China and then slapping on their own logo (like GFC), only to sell them at $200 in Pakistan. Apart from Xiaomi and Royal Fans, if you have the time and motivation, you can go for a DIY purifier, but PLEASE do not blindly copy some cheap online design. I would highly suggest that you visit [r/crboxes](https://www.reddit.com/r/crboxes/) to learn about the new CRbox movement, that is strongly against over-paying big companies for low CADR air purifiers. The main reason why I suggest DIY is that it can allow you to place an air purifier in every part of the house, whereas with expensive branded options, you'll be limited to just one bedroom. Plus, I personally don't like the commercialization of Air-Breathing ®️ In order to do a quick PhD in air purifier science, please watch the following video: [Most HEPA Air Purifiers Are A SCAM (There's A Better Option)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaQTYrisieA) I currently have a good Xiaomi Air purifier that I bought in 2021. It has been running non-stop since that day without a hiccup. Extremely satisfied. I even bought a Royal Fan recently for 30k. But I did so because I needed the device urgently. TLDR; Buy Xiaomi for an air purifier engineered on international standards, that can fight 2500-AQI smog easily. Buy the Royal Fans air purifier for the next best option, which has good warranty and support. And look at DIY options on r/crboxes, as they can provide you with affordable and long term sustainable options.

I have cuckoo repsure without copper but if budget is 18k then go for mi ap4 It has app support and better in terms of feature. But if you compare in terms of cadr, cleaning performance then I would say cuckoo is 20 and mi is 19. In my opinion mi ap4 is better if you have 18k
