Mi Air Purifier 3

[Sushubh]

Mi auto mode has been long criticized. It's not aggressive enough. Mi seems to have no plans to change their algorithm. If you can program speed based on aqi value, best rely on that.

Yeah, we do have the option of automation.

nice. use this instead of auto mode i guess. auto mode is fine as long as purifier is under 75 iirc which is where it basically goes green. i wonder if china good limit is 75 compared to india's 50 and europe's 25.

Has anyone noticed that the filter life reduces even when you're not using the purifier or even if the pollution isn't high? Or am I missing something about the life of these filters.

 

[Sushubh]

it is based on number of hours it is run to the best of my knowledge. device has no way of knowing the actual condition of the filter. this is why i did not want to buy nfc locked models.

The filter life seems to be reducing by the number of days, not exactly by the number of hours the purifier is running. Weird.

So, I am experiencing this issue with the purifier.

It's displaying 1-9 AQI. Even if I put it at a place where there's pollution or bad air quality.

And it fixed itself. Lol

A friend was arguing that Philips is better than Xiaomi. Xiaomi's auto mode is shit and what not.
