Review on Holmes Small White True HEPA Air Purifier by Jhalak Mehra ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

I knew its shortcomings when I bought it, but it is enough for my tasks. I will describe in more detail: 1. The pm2.5 sensor underestimates the values ​​a lot (I have a more reliable device with which I compare). The values ​​rise strongly only if the smell comes from the kitchen (but the values ​​show lower than they are). 2. The automatic program does not turn on the increased fan speed even for increased readings, you have to turn on the turbo mode yourself, because the quietest mode can not cope 3. Noise. Here even the problem is not in volume, but in tone. Compared to the Hitachi purifier, you can sleep under even the loudest noise, it is in that tone that lulls you a little. In xiaomi, even at the lowest revs, the noise is annoying. For points 1 and 2. Integration of this model into the home assistant should appear soon, and if it will be possible to set the fan power manually, then these points can be overcome. Personally, I took it to a non-bedroom and therefore the problem with noise is not so relevant for me. If you're a light sleeper and take your purifier into the bedroom, you might want to check out a Japanese brand.

Pros
  • * Cheap * In the maximum mode filters well
Cons
  • * PM2.5 particle sensor under-reading * Itself will almost never turn on at speed anymore * Noisy
