5.0 out of 5 stars5-star air quality monitor!!
Reviewed in Canada on June 24, 2023
The Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor is an essential device with a reasonable price point for anyone concerned about the quality of their indoor air. In addition to this, I also own air quality monitors from Airthings and IKEA. The one I have from IKEA is cheap but also with the most basic monitor. I like Airthings products a lot but they’re also significantly more expensive. I find Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor to be the best value all things considered.
It provides valuable insights into five key factors: particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), humidity, and temperature. With this monitor, you can easily track and measure these parameters to ensure a healthier living environment. Compared to my Airthings Wave Plus, this doesn’t measure Radon, CO2, and air pressure. However, my Wave Plus also lacks PM and CO monitor on the other hand. Considering Airthings Wave Plus costs about 3 times more, I’m happy with what it offers.
The air quality monitor dashboard is built-in Alexa. Setup with Alexa is straightforward, making it accessible to users of all technical abilities. Once connected, you can conveniently check the air quality score in the Alexa app, which provides an easy-to-understand assessment of your indoor air quality. The fact that this is using Alexa has both pros and cons to it. The cons is that it takes a few more clicks to get to see what you care about the most especially if you don’t already use Alexa for other purposes. The pros are that this doesn’t require one additional app if you are already an Alexa user and plan to use other integrated features such as Routine. E.g. you can turn on the air purifier when the air quality drops, or turn on the dehumidifier when the humidity is too high.
I also found this Amazon Air Quality monitor to be very accurate. I see it’s giving very consistent data when I put it side by side with other air quality monitors I own. Overall, I find this Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor to be a reliable and valuable device for monitoring and improving the air quality at home. With its comprehensive tracking capabilities, easy-to-understand data, and integration with Alexa and other smart devices, it helps me to take action to create a healthier living environment.
