High speed is noisy. Jet mode I doubt anyone will be keen to let it run. :s22: :s13:

XM2 and even Pro is also "noisy" if u set to the high/max speed. Among these 3, XM1 is the noisiest, followed by XM2. Pro is more "smoothing" to my ears. At current settings, I think I noticed my fan sound rather than my Pro sound. :D

Use the app pm2.5 readings to monitor n judge urself whether the Low or Mid speed is sufficient to maintain or reduce fast enough for ur room/area.

So far, mid speed is sufficient for me during recent "hazy" period. Haven't put into real test on real annual haze. Last time was using AX40 - this one quieter and Honeywell - this one noise even... :super: (no longer have them now) .

Bro, my pro only registered a reading of 010 in my place. After 10-20 mins, it dropped to 001. Is this accurate? Cuz the "auto" mode is very slow when readings are low.

Also as I place it in a corner of the room, will is it really effective?

That's the cheapest one could find. But no review. So not sure how is it. Check with seller any sg safety mark cable provided if opt for this one.

The next lowest is from a local seller. Ready stock.
http://list.qoo10.sg/item/XIAOMI-LI...URIFIER-2-USE-APP-CHECK-AIR-QUALITY/422184869

But more expensive. $388 after deducting $10 shop coupon (before stacking with cart coupon, using if have 1000 Qpoints-$10, 3% GC). Shipping fee is ex if not self pick. It would be good if have the recent $50 cart coupon to offset further. Now only got the $10 and $6 coupon to grab. $20 member cart coupon is the next best to use. May want to consider to wait for better cart coupons? Not sure when also.

Can also try Qoo10 search function and type XiaoMi Air Purifier Pro... next lowest should be Sinoteck $410, shipped from china.

The rest $489, $499 etc :s22: ...

Bought this. Comes with the 3 pin original cable from China. Don't mind as it just need an adapter. Trust xiaomi original cable more than 3rd party local cables. I have bought something else before and when checking I asked why no safety mark. Seller just open his drawer and took out a batch of safety mark stickers and pasted on it.

If your room is small and windows shut, the readings should be low. It should be that case. Use the readings as a rough gauge.

If u really wan to test to see if the detector is working, go light up an incense etc n just bring it behind the purifier where the PM2.5 detector is. Immediately it will shoot up high and bring it away. Don't put it there for long hor.... later spoilt the detector I dunno. Hehehe.

Positioning any XiaoMi Purifier at the corner is fine but not right onto the wall. There's a recommended minimum distance to keep apart.

Anyone know where can I get replacement filter for AX40? The one I bought from a user here some time back is a OEM filter from China without the HEPA charcoal filter. Felt cheated when I realised this.

Sent from heaven using GAGT

From sellers Daiso/HappMall/Goni Global @ Qoo10? Last time when I still had my AX40, I bought the filters from Daiso and HappyMall. Came with the Samsung box. With charcoal - Same as the one originally bundled inside the AX40. Now how much or any changes I dunno.

Very unlikely to keep at 001. It fluctuates, just like any of those standalone PM2.5 detectors. Below 10 is already considered very clean. :)

Works very well. Keeping it around 5 after I turn on manual mode for hours.

When door is open, it will shoot up the 16-17 and shortly after return to 5.

Happy with the purchase

To anyone :

Well i have 2 spare AX40/AX41 filters to let go. See if anyone is interested, just nice for the haze season. Pls PM me. No expiry date, all sealed in box and filter sealed in bag 100% brand new, stored in store room, still fresh.

Original Authentic Samsung gotten from Korean seller Happy Mall. Bought in Nov 2015, so pretty "fresh".

Qoo10 cheapest is is 55 + 12 shipping = 67. 2pcs is $110 + 24 shipping = 134.

Will let go for $110.

it was mentioned the china custom filters have no activated carbon

Got integrated AC layer for some sellers....but of coz would be more costly.
AC layer work as well or not as the originals, probably not.....

That said, after the first few months of use (eg 3 months), i don't even bother with the AC layer, just rip it out. Some folks here also do that. Approx 8% increase in airflow i think from my measurements with the anemometer. The GAC very fast saturate one....you'd know with the current CCM spec figures that China has implemented and mandated (2 years ago i think). Unless your GAC is a whole bed of it in the filter system.

(of coz need to get fast at that price also, qoo10 sellers remove/change sale prices at an instant)

edit - just for you repeat customer bro, i throw in 2pcs 3M 9210 foldable N95. :D

Recently just swapped out the filter for the M8088A. (save it to use on hazy days, where the air would already be a bit smelly so noses would be used to the smell, efficiency and airflow is still there since i put it into use in Oct 2015 just for ~ 2 weeks before heavy haze ended). The filter is nearly the size of the XM2 liao.

KNS, last time bought for RMB 189. Now RMB 250. Heng someone sold his to me for SGD 35 over here in SG.
