I have one. First it was ok. The active carbon layer did absorbed the smell, but also trapped the smell and releasing some sort of leftover odor from it overtime. Personally feel its not recommended if you have it functioning 24hrs or placing it near kitchen space. It will absorb cooking odor or food smell but the smell trapped in between the layers will stay and lingers overtime. You will need to change the filter in less than 3 months. However, for bedroom clean air effect, this works fine.
The filters will require a more frequent replacement if you use them in high polluted places such as the kitchen. The reason is that this Xiaomi doesn't have brilliant carbon filters, such are on the Winix 5500-2 or Alen FLEX air purifiers. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Lol, air purifiers in or near kitchens is like a torture test for any air purifier. I ise Xiaomi strictly for bedrooms only. If you want to use an air purifier for TV room or near kitchen, you must get a filter without carbon filtering. You can also put the Xiaomi filter in the sun for about 6 hours, which will allow all volatile organic gases to escape the filter due to high temperature of the sun.
i use it as a fan too lol, since the unit doesnt have gyro or tip over sensor, it still works even if it is on its side , so during summer (as it is now here), i can just point the top at my bed put it side way, the best part is you can schedule it in the app so ill have a nice comfortable night while have little to none noise. i know it is a bit of stretch, but works.
Why use an expensive equipment like that? Maybe it works on the side, but who knows what effect does that have on the fan blades, maybe the ball bearings will wear out faster, even if it's moved just by milimeters... A small fan costs maybe 5€, there are even USB fans for less money..
Thank you for your review. How about the Xiaomi Air Purifier 4 Pro? It has many upgrades compared to 3H like larger filters, and more activated carbon. I can't wait to see it compared to Coway AP-1512HH
Can you please tell me what kind of smoke did you use in the box? Was it real cigarette smoke or vaporizer? I'm asking because i want to buy an air purifier so i can smoke in my house. I'm planning to place it on my computer desk, and turn it on everytime i smoke a cigarette. I smoke a pack daily, so around 20 cigarettes, and i would turn the device on for around 10 minutes everytime. Do you think the filter will last me at least 6 months this way, or possibly more? Will the purifier collect the smoke immediately if it's close around 50cm? Or would you suggest me another kind of purifier? Thanks!
I have a problem with the Xiaomi Home application, in the application I only have the filter tab and that's it, there is no information about how much filter is used, I only see this information on the purifier's display when it is turned on, is it normal?
I owned a Mi Purifier 2C. The one that has no display and smart features. Much simpler to use. It has 2 layer filter, but when it is time to change a filter. Xiaomi only sell the 3 layer filter which is compatible. This model is cheaper and has a higher CADR than 3C.
@@hice7549 The new 3C has a much better centrifugal fan design, which has less noise and can handle larger pressures. I think it should be more reliable in the long run.
Hi, thank you for the review! Would it be possible to use the temperature and humidity sensor on the air purifier to set an automation rule to control other devices ? For instance, if temperature is above 20, turn on the heater in the room? Or, if the humidity is below a certain level, turn on the robot vacuum ? if not, would a gateway be needed to connect to a separate Xiaomi temp and humidity sensor and then use this sensor for controlling other devices? Thank you ...
Ive been going back and forth with this vs the blue air 211, can you share your opinion on the comparison? And which 1 would you choose over the other..
Neither, if you want something that is high quality, affordability and lasts a very long time, it's either between the Oransi mod Jr or the Dyson TP07. Both have sealed systems. Both have medical grade filtration and don't loose efficiency over time. Oransi has been used by NASA in their clean rooms, at least their top end models and adopted by google, IBM, Intel, etc. Both are incredibly energy efficient. Both have very stringent testing standards. Both have great costomer service. Blue air has horrible costomer service, check out Fran Blanche's TH-cam channel, she's not the only one who got jipped. Both are tested in real world conditions rather than typical lab settings. Both have certifications up the wazu. If you want to crank it to the max, Aeris health and Austin air. If you have the money.
@@lockhandel really? So 3c is better for 50mq? The real question is: the sensor is good or not? Because or I decide to turn on 1 hour a day indistinctly the real situation of my air or I must wait the sensor turn on the device...what you think?
I'm a bit concerned in that I believe it doesn't conform to any safety standards (UL, CSA, TUV for example) other than European CE which is a self declaration of conformity and from what I've been given to understand doesn't carry as much weight as an independent safety mark.
Just bought the same AP. I did some smoke test and worked. However, when I tried spraying disinfectants and perfume near the unit, I would get around 004-011. Is it normal? I'm expecting to get a red light or neutralize the odor.
Hi! I live in Poland which has some issues with smog and I own 2 cats. I'm very interested in buying an air purifier for my apartment and I found this video very useful. One question, would you suggest this machine for animal odors too?
Can you please help me, I have this purifier and Xiaomi humidifier. When only my purifier works I get excellent quality air, bellow 30AQI but as soon as I turn the humidifier on the quality of air gets worse, over 100. And I dont keep them near eachother. Can you please advise me how to use them, should I first use the humidifier to get the desired humidity and after that turning it off and powering on the purifier? Thank you
Are you using tap water? Usually it's recommended to use distilled water for humidifiers. The reason is, tap water has calcium, magnesium and other stuff in it. The humidifier will spray these particles into the air and the purifier will detect it as pollution. Especially if your home has a hard tap water, then the calcium and magnesium will be in high amounts. You can check this with a cheap TDS meter, but if you have limescale deposits on your kitchen appliances and dishes, then your water is probably hard. So i suggest use distilled water. I know this because of growing cannabis, when using a humidifier with tap water it creates a white dust like powder, all from the calcium and magnesium, and most growers start panicking because they think it's mold/mildew.
I like the performance of the Blueair 211+, but it is a minimalistic air purifier, without any advanced features. Xiaomi Mi 3H, on the other hand, has plenty of advanced features, and it also has very good performance. So, I would decide the Blueair if I'm looking for minimalism, and the Xioami if I want a smart air purifier.
@@AirPurifierFirst Oh my…I was told in another vlog, that the fanspeed Lo-Med-Hi can still be controlled via the Oled display even in the absence of an internet. This means that the wifi should always be ON to be able to control even just the fanspeed? Can’t be used in areas where there’s no internet connection? Oh my! I guess this Xioami 3H is not for me.
@@AirPurifierFirst Sir, w/out the intention of doubting your respinse, have you personally attempted to control the lo-med-hi fanspeed via the OLED display without the wifi On…and it didn’t work?
@@balkodawgie936 I misunderstood you, sorry about that. The Xiaomi Mi 3H has two different ways of controlling the device: 1. The first one is through the control button, located on display, through which you can change the fan speed, enter the sleep mode, favorite mode, and auto mode. 2.Besides, there is a smart app, through which you can do all the same but with an addition, which is called manual mode. The manual mode is basically a slider through which you can change the fan speed intensity. I thought you were talking about that feature, which is only accessible through the smart app.
@@AirPurifierFirst Great! It’s good to know that these functions could still be controlled w/out internet via the OLED display. Thank you so much for this clarification. I’ll proceed with my purchase of the 3H in a few days. Thank you again.
I m bit concern about allergy, usually at night sleep, causing sneezing itchy eyes and running nose. Pls can u suggest the best one for allergy. I m more concern with allergies rather then smell.
Hi sir, may i ask is it original comes with the HEPA grey filter H13 grade? I had already ordered one but not yet delivered to me yet. I was just abit not sure about the original come with. Hope you can tell me about it, thanks. I like your video and all test, it makes me feel more confident on this product.
I have used this air purifier for some time, and usually, it worked on auto, but when I saw the air overpolluted, I would switch it to the max speed for maybe 20-30 min and then changed it back to auto.
If it set to manually highest speed will it return to auto mode automatically. How effective it remove smells, like freshness in air after using it at night.
Which would you reccomend, the Xiaomi 3C or 3H? I live in South Korea and both are extremely affordable. 3H is a little more expensive but not crazily so.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will add it to the list for buying and testing. The problem is that I have some other devices which I will prioritize because they are much more popular than this Samsung. Also, I have to buy every unit I want to test, so I have to think and decide wisely which device to review. Anyway, thanks again for your suggestion, and I will do my best to test it.
2c is much cheaper, if you don't want app control. Later when you change the filter you can buy the filter with carbon and it will fit to 2C. I don't think the 3 series sensor as accurate since a standalone pm 2.5 costs same as a full purifier!
I don't think it will work with the non-genuine filters. Xiaomi uses a filter that has an RFID chip built-in, it is like security for not using original filters.
Thanks for your comment. I haven't tested the Levoit Core 400s yet, but I will very soon. Frankly, the Core 400s is my pick among these two, and I think it is a better choice, but I will give a more comprehensive answer after I finish in-depth testing of the Core 400s.
@@jiayiliu2860 400s is about 42usd cheaper than mi pro H , but pro H has better coverage.. 400s is to be compared with pro H, not 3H since 3H is smaller version and are 75usd cheaper than 400s .. instead of 400s, i choose pro H for my living room
Just received the 3C a few days ago for my home music studio. If you don't care about seeing the temperature and moisture and only care about "clean air and less dust". The 3C is perfect. No more dust on my music gear anymore and no more dust allergies. Cannot be happier!
The h in 3h stands for hepa and hepa is the best filter for the job. Not sure which filter they use in 3c, it might be the epa, which is inferior. Do some,research and you’ll find the answers you need
@@avetik32 Just for info. My 3C came with the "Hepa Filter", however, you have the option of getting an EPA filter too. But yes, it actually came with a "Hepa Filter" and it's working great! Just thought that I should mention this...
@@RodLevitonMusic yeah i guess it depends on the batch. Also i read u can basically install any filter you want in these models. Ordered the 3h for myself has to arrive today, hopefully it will help with dust issues i have (both breathing and furniture cleanliness)
You won't go wrong with any of these two, but in my opinion, the Xiaomi is a bit better air purifier. You can read reviews of these two on the airpurifierfirst.com
If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!
why didn't you tell average filter replacement costs? you said yourself that they make up the bigger share of the operating costs... Is it because the xiaomi would then lose? is this video sponsored?
No, this video is not sponsored. I personally bought the Xiaomi Mi 3H! I avoid mentioning prices because they change very often, and I do not want to put myself in a situation where I said in the video that the cost of replacement filters is $XX, and then after a while, the price jumps to $YY. If you watch other videos, you will see that I am not mentioning the filters price anywhere. Thanks!
@@AirPurifierFirst Appreciate the response, but then I think that you should remove the operating costs section entirely, simply because as it is now, it's not representative at all of operating costs and can be misleading. While I agree that filter prices can vary, so do energy prices; and despite the possible variation over time, I think the relative difference (when comparing 2+ products) should remain similar, so it can still be useful info. Or, if you want to keep the video part, rename it to something else. Like power consumption, but not operating costs. Thank you for your videos.
My 3H worked fine without being hooked up to the internet. However, when I stopped using the app/internet you only had 3 main speeds to choose from as opposed to 8 or 9 with the app. Even with no app, it worked fine and still had auto mode and sleep mode and 3 main speeds to choose from.
The Xiaomi 3C is a cheaper model, but it has a lower CADR, a different display (not touch), and a smaller air output, which will make the ventilator pressure more powerful.
@@z3ro7o no. Laser sensor is terrible but can’t expect it to be amazing considering the price. An average Stand-alone pm testers are 4 times the price of the air purifier alone you can’t expect it to be amazing

It is a Filter class H13 an not an TrueHEPA?
Question; why does the purifier need to be a minimum of 20inches from the wall or other items?
Because if you blocked the air intake, the air purifier would make insignificant changes in the air around you.
@@AirPurifierFirst But it has no intake in the back. I would believe, you can place it next to a wall, but keep sides free.
There is an air quality sensor on the back, which shouldn't be blocked.

consider the 3C its much cheaper and will give good results
I haven't tested the Blueair 211 but based on specifications I would agree with @Job91 for now.
Neither, if you want something that is high quality, affordability and lasts a very long time, it's either between the Oransi mod Jr or the Dyson TP07. Both have sealed systems. Both have medical grade filtration and don't loose efficiency over time.

Both have very stringent testing standards. Both have great costomer service. Blue air has horrible costomer service, check out Fran Blanche's TH-cam channel, she's not the only one who got jipped. Both are tested in real world conditions rather than typical lab settings. Both have certifications up the wazu. If you want to crank it to the max, Aeris health and Austin air.

I haven't tested any model from Sharp air purifiers, so I can't give you the precise answer.
Will it still work with non genuine filters or if the filter says it needs replacing?
I don't think it will work with the non-genuine filters. Xiaomi uses a filter that has an RFID chip built-in, it is like security for not using original filters.
I read you can bypass the RFID verification somehow. It just won't be able to tell you if and when you need to change it
This or the Levoit Core 400s?
Thanks for the reviews btw. Very helpful!
Thanks for your comment.
I haven't tested the Levoit Core 400s yet, but I will very soon.
Frankly, the Core 400s is my pick among these two, and I think it is a better choice, but I will give a more comprehensive answer after I finish in-depth testing of the Core 400s.
@@AirPurifierFirstwhy core 400s? which part is better than xiaomi 3h? thanks a lot
@@AirPurifierFirst And actually core 400s is cheaper than xiaomi 3h lol (And in amazon, xiaomi 3h is 239$, is that a good price?
@@jiayiliu2860 thats very expensive price for 3h, normal price is about 90 euro for 3c and about 120 eur for 3h
@@jiayiliu2860 400s is about 42usd cheaper than mi pro H , but pro H has better coverage.. 400s is to be compared with pro H, not 3H since 3H is smaller version and are 75usd cheaper than 400s .. instead of 400s, i choose pro H for my living room
Still thinking if it is still worth it for 3H today or just buy 3C, I can't decide.
Both are fabulous, so whichever you buy, you won't be wrong.
Just received the 3C a few days ago for my home music studio. If you don't care about seeing the temperature and moisture and only care about "clean air and less dust". The 3C is perfect. No more dust on my music gear anymore and no more dust allergies. Cannot be happier!
The h in 3h stands for hepa and hepa is the best filter for the job. Not sure which filter they use in 3c, it might be the epa, which is inferior. Do some,research and you’ll find the answers you need
@@avetik32 Just for info. My 3C came with the "Hepa Filter", however, you have the option of getting an EPA filter too. But yes, it actually came with a "Hepa Filter" and it's working great! Just thought that I should mention this...
@@RodLevitonMusic yeah i guess it depends on the batch. Also i read u can basically install any filter you want in these models. Ordered the 3h for myself has to arrive today, hopefully it will help with dust issues i have (both breathing and furniture cleanliness)
Does it filter formaldehyde?
Yep, there's also a special green filter you can buy for that
I am so happy seeing your video. Really helped me a lot!!! 😊
I'm so glad! Thanks for commenting.
smartmi HEPA Air Purifiers vs Xiaomi Mi 3H which one is better?
You won't go wrong with any of these two, but in my opinion, the Xiaomi is a bit better air purifier. You can read reviews of these two on the airpurifierfirst.com
Is homekit compatible?
Please ,my air purifier 3H just shows MI logo with no information on it , what's the problem??
Did the fan start working? It seems like a technical problem. Have you contacted Xiaomi support yet?
@@AirPurifierFirst everything works flawlessly ,the only problem is the display doesn't show infos ,yes I contacted them a week ago but got no reply
the best review so far...
It's my pleasure :)
Great review!
Just set mine up ... Hope it works good.
Yes, it does! Anyway, it would be nice if you could share your experience after some time!
And?
If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!
What the best air purifier under $90?
Ventilation
why didn't you tell average filter replacement costs? you said yourself that they make up the bigger share of the operating costs... Is it because the xiaomi would then lose? is this video sponsored?
No, this video is not sponsored. I personally bought the Xiaomi Mi 3H!
I avoid mentioning prices because they change very often, and I do not want to put myself in a situation where I said in the video that the cost of replacement filters is $XX, and then after a while, the price jumps to $YY.
If you watch other videos, you will see that I am not mentioning the filters price anywhere.
Thanks!
@@AirPurifierFirst Appreciate the response, but then I think that you should remove the operating costs section entirely, simply because as it is now, it's not representative at all of operating costs and can be misleading. While I agree that filter prices can vary, so do energy prices; and despite the possible variation over time, I think the relative difference (when comparing 2+ products) should remain similar, so it can still be useful info.
Or, if you want to keep the video part, rename it to something else. Like power consumption, but not operating costs.
Thank you for your videos.
@@Clodi95 Just do a little research on your own about filter prices if you're leaning towards buying this exact product.
Csn it eork without wifi router?
Unfortunately, it cannot.
My 3H worked fine without being hooked up to the internet. However, when I stopped using the app/internet you only had 3 main speeds to choose from as opposed to 8 or 9 with the app. Even with no app, it worked fine and still had auto mode and sleep mode and 3 main speeds to choose from.
How much is the filter cost
It depends mostly on the country where you live because Xiaomi has different prices in different countries.
What was the device name again? I think you should mention it more tbh.
it is in the title lol
Internal carbon does not last..my carbon emit smell when my filter still has 80% lifespan
Can you do a review on mi 3C ?
Thanks for your suggestion! I plan to review the Pro version, the 3C is not planned for review right now.
Motor... Motor you ... .... An engine is something else entirely
Hi, can you please wxplain the difference between 3H and 3C?
The Xiaomi 3C is a cheaper model, but it has a lower CADR, a different display (not touch), and a smaller air output, which will make the ventilator pressure more powerful.
Great work
Thanks!
I did fart next to it . And believe me it disappeared immediately. Recommend it 👍
Haha, good one! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I read alot of problems with the sensor? On internet
Very bad PM 2.5 sensor
True, it's not the best, but it does a job well enough.
Yes have to agree the sensor is terrible
This not fixed? I tought its a firmware problem
@@z3ro7o no. Laser sensor is terrible but can’t expect it to be amazing considering the price. An average Stand-alone pm testers are 4 times the price of the air purifier alone you can’t expect it to be amazing
@@chefgav1 but is it good? Or waste of money
40 db is not quite
It is not 40 dB, it is 40 dBA, which is a different measurement, and it includes the A noise levels scale.
@@AirPurifierFirst yeah thats what i meant. Other cheaper air purifiers produce 30 or even 25 dba in Silent mode
Which cheaper air purifiers are on your mind? Maybe I tested some of them and can compare them with Xiaomi side by side.
@@AirPurifierFirst boostiv and qumax for example boostiv lees than 35 and qumax less than 25
Seems loud as hell.
It's not much louder than competing air purifiers.
The engine produce CO2. So be aware.
