If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below, and I will do my best to answer as soon as possible! 😊
I got one in my room when our baby came. I like it so much I just ordered another one for my office.
One thing I will say, it is acurrate about the air quality.
Would love to see comparison between new series 4 of Xiaomi's air purifiers and how they stack up against last series and against competition. Keep up the great reviews!
I will compare Xiaomi 4 Compact with some competing air purifiers in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!
i just ordered this and will get it in a couple of days. My neighbors are heavy smokers and it's quite dusty here in the area that i live in. So I always get migraines from the smoke especially at night and have to turn on the AC for it even if it's cold. Hopefully, this works out. Thank you so much for the reviews!
Hello, how has it been with the equipment you already purchased, does it help to have cleaner air?
@@kelvinvera5777 hi! I've been using it for a week and I would have to say it has helped a lot. The first night I've had it, I slept so well and didn't have a headache the next day even if my neighbors are smoking the whole night. It took me a while to figure out where I should place it though. So for now, especially in the evening, I keep it in my kitchen since it's nearest to the front door. Nowadays, I don't smell cigarette smoke as much and I'm really happy about that. I got it for 68 usd where I'm at and I think I'll probably buy another one next time or I'll get the bigger one for my room when I have extra money.
hello how's your experience using the product?
Thank you for the great video! Would you suggest it for a flat's kitchen for eliminate cooking smells, if any other solutions are off the tables (of course filter needs more frequent change)?
Hey! So I own one of these and live in a small apartment. So when I cook, the smell travels through the house. It instantly picked up the poor air quality after cooking and ramped up the fans for like 3 minutes until it stopped. It did eliminate the smell
your channel definitely deserves more views!
Thanks. Working on it! :D
Thank you for the detail review❤
I'm glad you like it!
Hi, can you make a test review for air purifiers from LG, Sharp, and Samsung?
I'm curious about the performance beside the levoit 300/s and Xiaomi Air Purifier 3H/4 Lite. Which one is better among my option? Or any recommendations on its price range? Thank you!
The 3H is almost beat the 400s.
Hey, i just wanted to ask, does it work for places with high polution? I live in the center of a huge city, will it work or do i need another device with different filters?
I'm really Recommend this air purifier because it's so good to clean my room air and it's so quiet
Thanks for your recommendation!
do u still used it? is it good for long term?
@@babyshvrkyes I still use it,yes so far it's pretty good
finally some scientific measurements instead of just "it works" by other reviewers.
I'm glad you like my review!
Good day, I am unsure between the Winix Zero Compact Philips 600i and Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier Compact, which one do you recommend? The winix does make a little more noise, but sometimes I think xiaomi's sensor systems don't work hahahh help pls
Very insightful review. Currently the compact is available at a shop near me and not the 4 lite. What would I be missing when buying the compact over the 4 lite? Thanks!
honestly there is not much difference between any of the models besides covering a larger area. The 4 and 4 pro just has a few more extra features which personally i feel you wouldn't require for a home setting.
@@jeremylim123can you vacuum the filter of the compact one?
I believe so. have been doing it once every 2 months with no issues though it is still safer to change your filter at least once a year or when prompted if you want the proper protection against airborne pollutants.
Vacuuming the dust that collects on the outer layer only helps make it easier for your air purifier to function but it does not properly remove the trap particles in the inner layers of the filter which the vacuum is not capable of doing. @@7prudent
@@jeremylim123thank you! One more question. Does it also work on mold in the air?
@@7prudent air purifiers in general are not very effective against mold in the air. It can trap mold from the air in the filter but it does not remove the mold spores which does not solve the problem completely. If mold is a concern, you should get a dehumidifier as well. Moisture and a humid environment are what make the mold thrive.
To fully protect yourself, invest in an air purifier and a dehumidifier. However, if your room has air-conditioning, you can use that to be the dehumidifier although it may not be the best energy cost-wise.
If you're not encountering any issues with mold presently, occasionally using your air conditioning should help to prevent it somewhat.
Review very nice but please get rid of those waterdrop sound effects! Way too often and common, couldn't focus on videos as I was wondering "Where the heck are the notifications coming from?"
oh, I love them. I find the so pleasant
@@dplaylists8541same
😭
Skill issue
You should make a comparison between this and the Levoit Core 300, they look similar
Thanks for the suggestion, I will!
does it remove odour aswell like cigarette smell and that?
differences about HEPA vs HEPA H13?
Does it have an NFC in the filter?
Which one is better this one or smartmi air purifier p1?
What if the lights on top become red and says hazardous. What can i do to make it normal?
How about Xiaomi smart scene, can we do something like; If the air purifier detect bad air quality, it can trigger something or other devices... ok thanks
Their website has a comparison between HEPA and Xiaomi filter technology, yet you stated it has a HEPA filter. Which is it?
Good review but it would be helpful if you could test the accuracy of the sensor. If I put mine outside on hugely unhealthy day in Jakarta, it says the the air quality is good or moderate at worst.
hi. i have the same issue, have you solved this issue? If yes, can u tell me how?
@@aliffdanial7924 Hi, I think the only way is to switch to manual mode and turn it up as possible. The sensor is useless.
I think outdoor quality is measured differently and based on different things.
These are for indoor usage.
Hi, do you think it's worth to buy this Air Purifier despite the sensor? I'm considering it
@@rafamuttoni I think it’s still good buy. I can’t fault it otherwise.
How does it work for pet dander? Do you ned to add a different
filter such as a HEPA?
It is okay for pet dander. The Xiaomi 4 Compact has a True HEPA filter, so you don't need to add it.
is it HEPA 13 ?
I’m ordering one right now, watching a video to understand what I’m ordering
I'm sure you will be satisfied with it!
@@AirPurifierFirst Totally worth it, now I only need to bully the store to make those replacement filters ready. Found only one store that sells compact in my area and they don’t even have filters available lol
hi! do you know which one is better between levoit 300s and Xiaomi 4 Lite? Thank you
Levoit 300s the best air purifier for small room
hi, can you suggest how should i scheduled for this air purifier to run? I tried to use the Auto mode but it seems that the air quality is always green.
Hi did you solve the problem?
@@maestrogun i set the schedule manually.
Damn good air purifier for fifty bucks.
Idk what should I get, the compact one or the lite one. Planning to buy a purifier for my room but still clueless. Any suggestion?
The lite one claims to be effective against h1n1 viruses however, I do not know why it should also not be the case for the compact one. The only differences so far that I have noticed are, the lite one covers a bigger space and it also has temperature and humidity sensors (which shows the air temperature and humidity levels in the room on its LED screen). I am also new to the purifiers so that's all I know so far. I will also get one of them =)
How the noise sound.
How can I learn if it really does not have an ionizer? The official website has no informations stated about it.
Have you found any information yet?
How does it perform compared to Levoit 300s ?
I see many likes on your comment, but the problem with why I don't have the answer is that I haven't tested the Levoit Core 300S yet.
I will do my best to buy the Core 300S asap and then test it and compare it to the Xiaomi.
@@AirPurifierFirst can't wait for that video. We all want to see the Xiaomi air purifier 4 compact vs the Levoit 300S
Good
Thanks!
how good will it be against pollen for someone with pollen allergy
It is pretty good for pollen.
Can people hack my network through this device? How can I prevent that?
Is it safe to use around parrots? Should we choose LV-H132 instead?
For everyone who asked, Xiaomi support team said it is ozone free and does not produce ions, since that was our biggest concern for our parrots. We emailed them and this is what they said in response.
Is it recommended to place it nearby the television? Just in front of the TV. I heard some air purifier not recommend to place nearby a TV
Why is it not recommended? Maybe it affects the sensor, creating noise?
Which one is better? This one or the smartmi p1?
I have compared these two on the Air Purifier First website. The Smartmi P1 won the comparison and showed as the better buying option.
On slow speed I can hear a slight repetitive high pitch noise, like some bearings, did you have the same issue?
I haven't noticed anything similar. Have you tried contacting Xiaomi support or a distributor?
@@AirPurifierFirst Yes, they exchanged it for free. New unit is much more silent but still has a slight repetitive motor noise.
Can you do a review of Xiaomi 4 Pro?
I bought the Xiaomi 4 Lite a while ago, and now I'm in the process of testing it. The Xiaomi 4 Pro could be my next purchase; thanks for the suggestion.
I have an issue with this product. The air quality indicator keeps switching from "very good" to "good", causing constant mode changes when set to automatic. I've cleaned the sensor and checked if it was related to a pollution issue using another device, but no luck. Am I the only one experiencing this problem?
No
Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact vs Xiaomi Mi 3H Smart Air Purifier please :)
I will make this comparison in the following weeks/months. Thanks for the suggestion!
This vs the Levoit 300S Please
Haven't tested the Core 300S yet, but soon after I test it, I will compare it with the Xiaomi. Thanks!
Тест без фильтра с дымом, показал практически такой-же результат 😅
I am really disappointed by the sensor. My air quality is always good and my other air purifier (the normal 4 version) indicates that this is not the case. Am I alone?
The power cord must always be connected to the purifier?
Yes, it must.
Does the filter need to be washed every now and then? Or just leave it until has to be replaced?
You shouldn't wash the filter; you have to clean the pre-filter from time to time and replace the whole filter once the filter replacement indicator lights up.
The Xiaomi 4 Compact filter isn't washable!
@@AirPurifierFirst
Are there any air purifiers that use a washable filter?
Does this effectively remove VOC?
it has active carbon, so seems it does.
@@jutjub22is active carbon unhealthy?
@@7prudent it is not in the air, but in the filter.
Should I buy this or Philips 800 tho? =(
I chose Xiaomi. Below you can find the comparison.
www.airpurifierfirst.com/comparison/philips-series-800-vs-xiaomi-4-compact/
Whats the difference between 4 lite
Lite is bigger, compact is smaller
Where did you buy this from?
It's avaliable on Amazon.
@@AirPurifierFirst amazon UK?
Hi sir. Does this xiaomi airpurifier compact Ozone free?
It doesn't produce ozone.
@@AirPurifierFirstthankyou subsribed and liked 🎉
What’s the CADR?
230
How to control fan speed ?
The best would be through Manual Mode, which is available via the Mi Home smart app.
Does it filter mold from the air?
Yes, it captures mold spores, as they are airborne.
is this one the same with smart mi p1?
No, it isn't. However, I believe Smartmi is a sister company of Xiaomi.
@@AirPurifierFirst the performance and build is almost the same isn't it?
The Smartmi P1 has a better build; the other things are similar.
Does this get rid of cat odors?
It will help.
@@AirPurifierFirst thanks, got one already, the auto setting definitely isn't enough. Have it on about 30% power all the time. It's great 👍
which is better the air purifier 4 lite or 4 compact?
I believe the Xiaomi 4 Lite.
@@AirPurifierFirsthello. How can I find the information about its ionizer feature (or, the lack of it)? Does it also apply to the Lite version?
is it okay to have this in one corner and a xiaomi humidifier in another? :)
It's not recommended to use an air purifier in high-humidity areas.
However, placing a Xiaomi Humidifier in another corner of the room wouldn't make such a large difference in humidity, so I believe using those two devices together would be fine.
Can you just clean the filter?
No, you have to replace it.
Here is my study on how washing/cleaning a HEPA filter impacts its performance.
www.airpurifierfirst.com/blog/how-to-wash-hepa-filter/
It emits ozone? Ionizer
This one doesn't have an ionizer.
@@AirPurifierFirst how can I find that information? There is nothing on the official website about the lack of it.
options only available through the app? yeah no thanks.
Are this thing free ozon?
Yes it is. The Xiaomi Compact 4 doesn't produce ozone.
Thanks for the answer
Can you turn off WiFi on it?
Yrs, the wi fi can be switched off.
Thanks @leps75 for the clarification!
@@leps75 Thanks for the answer. Does it show real time air-quality data on the display, or at least in the mobile app?
@@kornelijekovac9793 real time data is available on the app. While ther is a colored light on top of the purifier that shows the level of air quality. I can't judge the purifier for as I've had it for only 3 days and I'm not sure how to test it...
@@leps75 hello mate. How does the purifier stand after 3 months?
Please don't use those sound effects
Carbon filter??? I just bought device and a spare filter but none of the two has any carbon in it, just some black metal mesh?!? So wtf is THAT XIAOMI???
Those are carbon pellets.
@@AirPurifierFirst thanks, but I don't see any "pellets" behind the metal net, just Primary filter, HEPA filter and that black metal mesh or net! Through it can be seen white HEPA, nothing else.
Bought this cause I have pollen allergy and it didnt help much. It also lid green when I turned it on which indicates that the air was already clean. So unless you live in a big city with a lot of polution I wouldnt recommend buying one of these.
Dam. I was considering buying it...I have pollen allergy too. but it didnt work at all? PLEAse respond !! And where do u live?
@@RITechNews I live in Denmark and it didn’t work for me at all. I left it running at full speed for an hour and then left it at sleep mode the entire night. When I woke up I still had itchy eyes, I proceeded to let it run throughout the day but I would still get itchy eyes every now and then like I used to have before I bought it, therefore I decided to return it. Note that throughout the time I had the machine, I put clean sheets on and had my window open for max 10-20 minutes at a time to avoid getting too much pollen in my room but it didn’t make a noticeable difference to me or my allergy. It’s not dusty in my room as I clean it daily because of my pollen allergy.
I read somewhere that if you want one that truly helps with allergies you need one with a true Hepa filter, but they are quite expensive and big, so for now I guess eye drops will have to do for me. You can always buy it and return it if it doesn’t help you.
Those hands touching and teasing the device all the time are quite weird...
How can I learn if it really does not have an ionizer? The official website has no informations stated about it.
