SMILEDRIVE® Portable Air Quality Pollution Detector Meter with Color Graphic Display-PM 1/2.5/10, TVOC, HCHO Checker Temperature Humidity AQI Tester

Robust and does the job. Most people lack understanding of what AQI is and I can't blame them! I am a research scholar working in this field for 10+ years and have tested many AQI detectors in the course of my research.This one stands out by a mile! Fantastically priced as well! Manual is decent. Battery backup is excellent. The Air Pollution Level accurately displays the ambient AQI. I had a few pre-purchase queries and as per my habit, had emailed a detailed questionnaire thinking that they will not respond. But they replied within 24 hours and addressed all my questions absolutely transparently! I use this inside my room and have also taken this to highly-polluted construction sites and some highways and the readings change almost instantaneously depending on the pollutants in the particular location.*FOR THOSE COMPARING READINGS OF THIS DEVICE WITH ONLINE READINGS* Please don't! This detects and displays the ambient and live AQI and not that of a whole locality. A side note- A lot of 'live' online AQI data is the average of the last 24 hours. I intend to do a vlog about this soon!

Worth buying. quick delivery.easy to use.gives accurate data

Easy to use and does the job efficiently. Have tested it in high-pollution localities in Mumbai and cleaner air near beaches (I love to test things!) Left me impressed every single time! I kept it on a table on a shack in Goa and got many curious looks! (I forgot to click a photo) More than decent battery life. The product pack mentions not to use a fast charger- I wonder why!

When you turn on the device it says keep the device in fresh air for 3 minutes! Based on that it calibrates the sensors. Which means that if you are in a high TVOC area and turn the device on, it does not indicate it as high TVOC. Only if the levels increase 'after the device is turned on and calibrated' then high levels will be indicated. Pretty useless for TVOC measurement. This is a big limitation and should be mentioned somewhere in the product description.

The media could not be loaded. Like: Highly sensitive to change in Air Quality and very accurate in showing Formaldehyde (HCHO) and Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) in air and the changes of value along with Particulate Matter and Pollution Levels are very accurately.Extremely user friendly and fully automatic to use.Battery life is good but could have been better, though easily chargeable like a mobile phone through given charger USB chord.

Note that, the readings displayed on the device is not the actual AQI, just an air quality index as per the other readings.When i purchased this I thought this is showing AQI, but it is not. IT will only show the quality index roughly between 0 to 40 all the time.Although the other readings, PM2.5, HCHO and TVOC are accurate.

Works very wellPortable and handy tooLike it very much.
