Awair Element

This air quality monitor is the only one I found that includes: CO2, TVOC, PM, WIFI/BLUETOOTH, and integration with Google Home. I shied away from it for almost a month because several reviewers said it was difficult to get connected to wifi and that it was flakey about staying connected. I'm happy to report it was one of the easiest smoothest installations of any techy device ever. Instructions were clear and accurate; not a single hiccup or issue - fully set up in 5 minutes. And the functionality of the app and the on-device display is perfect. Total homerun! follow-up after a week: The other caution from reviews I read was that the minimalist design was too cryptic and not clearly informative. I find the unit to be very nicely designed and the display is a super clever way to present all the useful data without looking like a loud eyesore in your room. 5 lines of dots show you 5 key metrics and if that's too complicated the single number on the display is your overall air quality score from 1 to 100. OR you can customize the display to more literally show you any 1 of the 5 metrics. The display on this is a design achievement.

The Awair is easy to use, hook up, reset, understand app results, but accuracy? I have doubt 4 out of the 5 sensors it has are dead on accurate. Temperature, humidity, CO, particulate matter. You can also trust it to inform you of events that are taking place you may not know about. But in terms of the Total VOC measurement, all I trust it for is to tell me when levels are increasing or decreasing. In terms of what they are and whether levels are safe, I think it's useless. There are a lot of studies out there backing up the claim that total VOC level measurements are useless without a breakdown of VOC sources to go with it. And that is exactly what you get with the Awair reading. It is not portable and has to be recalibrated if you want to use it to look for VOC sources. Also, I've read you may have to let it sit and calibrate VOC's for a month or more in one spot if you want to be able to trust any reading you get. So my advise is buy it for the other 4 sensors and only trust the green light to tell you things are good.

The sensor works great and has been very useful for managing air quality in my house. I use my AC air handler with a high quality air filter to filter out air during times with high pollen counts or a lot of smoke in the air. I can use the monitor to determine how often I need to run the air handler, which saves power, and if my air filters are effective. I can tell the sensor is accurate because it changes with actions in the house, like CO2 count going up when there are a lot of people in a single room or chemical count going up after cleaning. I love this and the mobile app is great too!

We have 3 Awair devices. We bought one of the first gen devices, a glow c, and this device (the element). Loved the device and it functioned well for several years. Recently they decided to “sunset” the gen 1 device and the glow c. It will still “read” the air but removes the data from the app which essentially renders it useless. Sure, the led indicator works but what’s the point when I have no idea what is high or low? I bought these for my kids’ rooms to monitor their air and temp. I can’t do that with an led light in another room. I spent almost $400 on the devices that mind you, work just fine and have been working fine but because the company decided they want to force me to upgrade the devices are as good as bricks. Will not be buying more devices from a company that is deceptive and treats its customers this way. Was an early adopter and supporter of this company but definitely not a fan now and incredibly disappointed. If you’re considering buying an element… beware.

The Awair Element Indoor Air Quality Monitor worked well for 20 months, and then it's died. I like how it just sat there, in its appointed location, sensing temperature, humidity, CO2, VOCs, and PM2.5 levels, in my living room, which is the best location within my apartment. It had a 1-year warranty and it lasted 2/3 longer. However, I purchased this unit from Amazon for $149, all of 20 months ago. Now, Amazon's price is $281, while this vendor asks $265. For a 1-year warranty, I won't buy this unit again at such prices. I highly recommend the Awair Element Indoor Air Quality Monitor...at $149. It just sat there, always on, without a battery to fuss with. How can it only last 1 year, or only 20 months? Newer tech is available now, so I'll look for that.

Now that I'm working from home full time like many of us, I was concerned about the air quality in my home office. This device helped me to immediately diagnose the issues with my air quality and I've seen the immediate results of taking steps to improve it (cracking open a window when CO2 is too high, getting a humidifier to combat the dry desert climate, etc). The device looks great and the display on the device itself is pretty easy to understand once you get used to what each of the bars means. I also like how the display can be adjusted to show any of the metrics individually or can be used as a simple clock if desired. I also appreciate the light level adjustment and the sleep mode which would come in handy if using the device in a bedroom. Additionally, I've found the mobile software to be top notch. I like being able to track trends over time and see the impact of my actions in graph form. Unlike others here I personally haven't had any issues keeping it connected to WiFi, though I understand that would be frustrating. All in all, if you're spending more time at home lately and are concerned about your air quality, I'd highly recommend this!

The package was delivered sealed, no damage, sensor is working fine. Thanks you for fast replaying on messages, great communication !

Great product. Very accurate and informative for air quality in the home.

Leider ist nur ein UK Plug in der Lieferung enthalten, was in der Produktbeschreibung nicht erwähnt wird! Muss jetzt leider noch 2 Plug separat kaufen um die beiden Geräte anzuschliessen.

this unit is superb, easy to used. mobile app also good. best part is ''we can earn money"

Great response time and fast delivery. Highly recommended.
