Yes the 4 Pro has a good amount of activated carbon and ioinzer that will help with these smells. It should also quickly kick into high speed if it detects higher levels of particles in the air.
Big question, you said you tested this in Speed 1, Speed 2 and Max? Does this mean the manual max , or Speed 3, as manual max 60 seems to be considerably faster than just Speed max
I just used the speeds I could access from the main display. Will play around with the app to see if I can get a higher speed using those controls - thanks for making me aware.
@@HouseFresh I think the results will be a lot different. Speed 3 only uses approximately 24.5W without ionizer, with full manual I've tested the usage to 43W, might even be worth making a short follow up video. Strange how speed 3 isn't equal to manual max, I've also noticed this with the smaller xiaomi air purifier
Have tested the smaller one a few years back but not created video: housefresh.com/ikea-fornuftig-review/ Overall I felt it was too underpowered. Excited to look at the bigger Starkvind very soon.
Thanks for video , I would love to ask you , Philips Air Purifier AC1715/10 and Xiaomi smart air purifier 4 pro , are in sale in my country now, almost the same price, can’t choose for 40m/sq studio apartment , what would you recommend 👀🫣❤️
You do get a lot more CADR with the Xiaomi for the same money so I would be tempted to choose the 4 Pro as you could run it at a lower fan speed and still clean as much air. Be sure to let me know how you get on with it.
Does fresh air blower (xiaomi mate A1 for example) work similar to air purifier? Im still pretty confuse between fresh air blower and air purifier, but everyone I know said that fresh air blower is just better in general. What do you think?
Sounds like a combo unit so fan and air purifier mode usually less cadr for $ than going with a separate air purifier. But not tested or looked at that specific device .
@@HouseFresh Xiaomi has 3 of them. Xiaomi lomediqi, SmartMi and Xiaomi mate A1 which they called them fresh air blower. They work like a ventilation system (or air ventilation). If you unplug the xiaomi lomediqi from the tube (which connect to the outside air), it can become an air purifier. But I can't find any video testing them properly. Still hope someone test it and find out if they really can clean air. Personally, i love these fresh air blower (or ventilation system) because they reduce CO2 from closed place, which gave me both fresh air and a good sleep, and the price of them are affordable. But still, I found no real test
Hey pal, Think it's worth testing the Xiaomi Air Purifier Compact 4? It may be the new value king. It's only £50 right now with black friday from the Xiaomi site, and whilst it's not hepa, I've noticed that there are third party Hepa filters available from Amazon, or true hepa filters available from Amazon US! Could be an absolute bargain for small rooms as it has a 230 CADR, which should be good for rooms up to 340 squared feet. Of course using a True Hepa I'm presuming will reduce the air flow, but I believe it could still cover potentially the average 140 square feet of a normal average UK bedroom. Weirder still is it's advertised as True Hepa in the US, but the filters listed on Amazon UK seem to say Merv 8. It's a very confusing situation.
There is AHAM and energystar that share clean air delivery rate which is a lab based test for removing pollen, smoke and smoke. My tests are easily repeatable by anyone with incense stick and purpleair zen sensors. Most air purifier can clean a room but some are quick and some are super slow (more than 4 hours.) Happy to provide more information.
Some people say it can cause them allergy like issues as so like to avoid. But for those with healthy lungs it shouldn't pose a problem as most modern versions don't release large levels of ozone.
Interestingly, Smart Air in their marketing materials claims that Xiaomi Air Purifier 4 Pro is 2.2 times louder than their SA600 on high speed. Yet, in your test SA600 is louder than Xiaomi Air Purifier 4 Pro.
I am about to review the latest 5 speed model of the SA600 so will make sure to provide a comparison with the Xiaomi 4 Pro. Not sure how Smart Air measured their sound but I had 51.3 dBA at 3ft away at top speed vs 56.7 dBA for the SA600.
Xiaomi is the best seller in air purifier market in China. I estimate that they takes 50% of the profit of the whole industry. Their products are very competitive and the brand is super famous. My ambition is to build models that can defeat Xiaomi in all perspectives.
I have an open kitchen. It bothers me that the smell of food spreads throughout the house. Is it recommended to eliminate food smells?
Yes the 4 Pro has a good amount of activated carbon and ioinzer that will help with these smells. It should also quickly kick into high speed if it detects higher levels of particles in the air.
Who is better I want to buy one please answer xiaomi smart air purifier 4 pro or levoit 400s
I would prefer the Levoit Core 400S as it doesn't make the whining noise at low/auto mode. But maybe my unit was defective?

@@TamTranQuang-o2m will try to get some for testing soon.
Please test the lite 4 for small budget people ! 🙏 and thanks for the video
Will look at soon, thanks for letting me know.
Can you test and review the Sans Air Purifier
Is this device good for cat allergy protection?
Yes the particle filter will doa good job of removing cat dander from the air.

@@mrsingh3483 will grab it, thanks for letting me know.
Have you test and review the bigger Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier Elite ?
Not yet but will add to the list. Do you have it, any feedback you can share?
I wonder how good is their most powerful air purifier: The Xiaomi Mijia Ultra AC-M19-SC Air Purifier
Will have to add to my list of air purifiers I want to review next! thanks for sharing.
@@HouseFresh Apparently they already have a new version with 10 level filtration: xiaomi Mijia Air Purifier Ultra Enhanced AC-M26-SC
Interesting so many models it’s hard to keep up 😅
Dumb question, I know, but do these actually work and are there empirical tests, ran by independent "auditors", that confirm this? Many thanks

Happy to provide more information.
@ oh, much appreciated, both the speed and the info, cheers !
Can you review the air purifier Daikin Streamer MC55 when you have the chance please?
Looks an interesting model will add to the list to check out. Thanks for sharing!
What's the problem with an ionizer?
Some people say it can cause them allergy like issues as so like to avoid. But for those with healthy lungs it shouldn't pose a problem as most modern versions don't release large levels of ozone.
In asia Xiaomi products are some of the best most affordable items
Ok got one more to review soon, let me know models you are interested and I can get sent to me for testing.
You can turn off the sound notification in the app
Thanks for letting me know.
I prefer the xiaomi proH air purifier which has a 600CADR and a H13 HEPA filter
Will have to test this one next. I was impressed by the testing data for this unit.
I'm getting one!
Haha well don't complain when it wakes you up at night! If they fixed that one thing it would be an easy air purifier to reccomend.
2:00 I think it would be better to say "500 cubic meters per hour"
Thanks for the feedback, will use cubic meters per hour next time.
