I wonder if you'd put cotton wool, how effective it would be. Here is my set up:
- I bought XIAOMI Mi Air Purifier 2 straight from China for $137.00 and spent 1 euro on a EU plug. It's so quiet that I can sleep next to it, looks nice and it's quite compact, so doesn't take up much space. It has a particle detector to adjust the fan speed. The app is useless, so a cheaper version without WiFi and bluetooth would be great.
- Buy some HEPA filters to put into window ventilation. You may want to remove some plastic inside to increase the flow http://img.archiexpo.com/images_ae/photo-g/69621-5895915.jpg http://img.archiexpo.com/images_ae/photo-g/69621-5895915.jpg
- Buy roomba like vacuum cleaner https://www.goodcheapandfast.com/articles/best-robot-vacuums https://www.goodcheapandfast.com/articles/best-robot-vacuums
It will cost you less than 500$ to buy these and about 55$/year for new filters. It is worth the money. The air quality is much better (I'm allergic and I haven't had any problem with my sinus since).
What is more, is it worth it. It will save you time cleaning your place (about 10h/year)
Anyone has tried robot vacuums with mop or automatic dirt disposal function?
- blattimwind 8y ago> I wonder if you'd put cotton wool, how effective it would be. Not very. Wet wool is better, but only as long as its wet and clean. > XIAOMI Mi Air Purifier 2 straight from China Interesting question. Does the removal of particulates offset the health impact of its cheap plastics?
- ed_balls 8y ago> health impact of its cheap plastics Do you mean the health impact of when the device is thrown away?
- evolve2k 8y agoI think they mean of small plastic particles coming off the cheap device and polluting the air.
- csours 8y agoDoes anyone know what the actual smell of "chinesium" comes from? The smell of artificial rubber products from china, like remelt and cancer.
- HillaryBriss 8y agoI bought a mechanical product like that one time and had to leave it outside for about a month before it off gassed completely
- reaperducer 8y agoHappened to me, too. Once with a dog house, and again with a set of car floor mats. The floor mats are still out there.
- flybrand 8y agoWool fiber diameters are around 20 micron - HEPA can have glass fibers below 1 micron, and big box retail grades are often 5 - 10 micron. Smaller fibers = better filters.
- sdwisely 8y ago> The app is useless, so a cheaper version without WiFi and bluetooth would be great. have you tried it with hass (home assistant)? I've been considering getting one and running it via that instead.
