Air purifier?

[Mach3.2]

one qn .. is AX40 a fan or mobile air con

Do you know how aircon works?

That means it's a good idea to ventilate your room once every few hour to prevent CO2 buildup.

but got ppl use it to sleep leh

It's an air purifier. Not portable air con, not fan

After you wake up, open windows and door and air the room la.

Every day, air two to three times. Every 8 hours.
Usually I air five minutes then close everything again, and on.
But you decide what's best for you

Do you think that people who sleep with aircon leave their windows open

I think my AX40 carbon filter is saturated, there is strong sour smell when I switch it on, previously there wasn't. What should I do?

my 2 cents

first AX40 filter started to smell after 1.5 weeks, at 3 week mark really strong smell

switched to a new AX40 filter (ordered one for living room so just swopped the filters when new machine arrived) and its already starting to smell after a few days...

If the sunning does not work, I will try removing the carbon filter.

Mind doing a review of your foobot? was contemplating buying this. Must constantly link to wifi to work? can the lights be switch off?

Here's a quick review

what's in the box:

It's a cloud based air sensor, you will need to register account with foobot. the App supports naming of multiple foobot units that you can place them at different places in your house

You will need Wifi to setup and communicate with the unit

Internet connection is required to access historical data.

This is how the app interface looks like:

you can access your historical data in minutes, hours, days and weeks to track your home's air quality and figure out what activity causes air pollution:

settings menu:

LED leds can be switched off(timer) or dimmed.

Also Two physical taps/knocks on the unit will send a (instant reading) notification to your smartphone with all the necessary data like pm2.5 ug/m, chemcial pollutant, carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity.(this function will work with just WIFI without internet)

It's powered via USB. But the cable is fixed to the unit. It comes with AC adapter(USB port).

It has 6 levels of LED, wtih two colors Blue and Orange:

Good:
Smartphone/cloud based allows for remote monitoring of air quality even if you are outside/overseas etc.
Hypersensitive LED indicator, will keep moving up and down with just slight air quality/dust movement/changes.
LED light is adjustable
You can set the app to notify you if air pollution or specific measurement exceeds (foobot's own) unhealthy thresholds.
Access to historical data.
Sensor seems very accurate.
Elegant looking and simple interface and fast and easy to setup.(Good out of box experience)

Bad:
Cloud based. If the company close down or etc, you will lose full functionality
Expensive just slightly below S$300
No LCD reading display
Still Work in progress App(recent updated app functions better)
Tech Support/Customer service seems slow to respond.
Instant reading requires knocking unit instead of physical button

Thanks for the review on foobot! Like the overall aesthetic, complete monitoring which included voc and co2 to prevent sick house syndrome!

Holding the trigger coz of cloud based. Cant seem to find info on its sensors. Read that its andriod app not as complete as ios

For Beijing only, cause in China air pollution quite bad X 5 times in Singapore condition

Go outdoor suck more natural air = you die faster
