Today I’m going to unbox this device, which can be called “the god’s teammate in parenting and pet care.”Xiaomi Air Purifier 6! After having children and fur babies at home, although every day is full of laughter, the invisible fine hairs and debris affect the “air quality”, I believe it has become everyone’s biggest hidden trouble! Every time the furry season changes, you must not ignore the waste hair flying everywhere, the pervasive dander, and the occasional odor. These invisible killers must not be ignored. Because children at home have relatively weak resistance and like to climb up and down the floor, as long as there are dust or allergens in the air, they are prone to sneezing and affecting their health. Although Taiwan still occasionally has the problem of purple air in the outdoor air, to be honest, for those of us who stay indoors for a long time, the threat to hair, dust mites, and even bacteria brought back from the outside is relatively direct! Therefore, in order to provide children with a clean environment where they can breathe deeply and explore safely, air purifiers have long become one of the must-have appliances at home that do not shut down 24 hours a day:
Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 unboxing
Contents include: Xiaomi Air Purifier 6, manual, power cord
Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 is certified with the Level 1 energy-saving label and does not consume a lot of power when running for a long time.
In order to prevent the back panel from falling off during transportation, the back cover is fixed with tape. Remember to remove these tapes when you first unpack:
You can see the filter element after opening the back cover. In fact, many people use it directly after removing the back cover. However, they don’t know that the filter element bag only works poorly without opening it, so be sure to unpack this part XD
The filter element itself is a consumable item. If you have pets at home (with a lot of hair and dandruff), have just bought new furniture or decorated it (needing strong adsorption of formaldehyde), often open windows at home near the main road, or are used to turning on the strongest air volume 24 hours a day, the filter element will be consumed faster. If the normal environment is relatively simple, or it is only turned on when returning home from get off work and sleeping, based on past experience, it will be no problem to use it for almost a year. The life of the filter element can also be monitored in real time through the app, so you don’t have to laboriously remember the date:
Another thing to note is that after using it for a period of time, remember to check the degree of dirt on the surface of the filter element. Although the filter element has a long life, dust and lint will still adhere to the surface after long-term use (the picture shows the old Xiaomi air purifier 4 at home):
You can clean it with soft bristles or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to ensure the overall cleanliness of the filter element (the picture shows the old Xiaomi air purifier 4 at home):
In addition, there is a strap designed on top of the filter element that is easy to pull out. Remember to turn the strap outward when installing to facilitate removal in the future:
There are PM1 sensor, humidity sensor, temperature sensor, PM 2.5 sensor, dust sensor (where there are holes at the bottom), and a physical button (above) for adjusting the screen brightness on the back of the fuselage. This button is also the Wifi reset button. Press and hold for 7 seconds to reset the Wifi:
Use a flat-head screwdriver or tool to pry it open:
The structure inside looks like this when you open it. Although this area is not easy to get dirty, there is a small fan inside that will get stuck in some dust when it is running. If it makes a sound after running for a long time, remember to open it for inspection and cleaning:
The most secure monitoring hardware – five-layer sensor system
The disassembled structure of this sensing system is as shown below. It is equipped with five sensors, including PM1 sensor, humidity sensor, temperature sensor, PM 2.5 sensor, dust sensor, etc., each with its own duties. The new PM1 sensor installed this time can be said to have added a safety lock to health protection. It can detect the smallest pollutants in the air, PM1 (suspended particles with a diameter of less than 1 micron). At the same time, this is also a rare air purifier in the industry with a three-dimensional PM1 / PM2.5 / PM10 sensing system, with complete particle size detection capabilities.
These ultra-small particles, which are more difficult to defend against than PM2.5, are actually more likely to penetrate deep into the respiratory tract. With the all-round control of PM1 and four other sensors, whether it is fine dust, changes in temperature and humidity or hair raised by the activities of furry children, as long as there is a condition in the air, the machine will instantly detect and automatically switch the wind speed to actively operate powerfully! For those with children or pets who are prone to allergies at home, this is undoubtedly a smarter and more reassuring invisible protection net:
The principle of the air purifier is to suck in dirty air from below and around, then filter it through the filter, and finally blow out clean air from above. The large fan above can create strong upward airflow and accelerate indoor air convection.
Because the large fan will get stuck in dust after operating for a long time, it must be disassembled and cleaned. In many old models or other brands of air purifiers, the upper fan is filled with dust and pet hair after being used for a long time, but it cannot be wiped away because it is blocked by the grille. This means that you are sucking in the dirty air. The top grille of Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 isRemovable and washable design, press the upper circular outer cover to see the fixing screws:
Unscrew the screw and you can directly wipe the fan blades inside:
For families with furry children or those who value tidiness, this is a thoughtful design that makes cleaning the equipment very convenient.
In addition, above the fan, there are two protrusions that are negative ion generators:
After using it for a long time, you can use a brush or cloth to clean it slightly:
The power button is designed at the bottom:
Applicable square footage
Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 is suitable for a space of about 9 to 15 square meters, and its performance is also quite good in terms of purification efficiency! It has a particle CADR value of up to 443 m³/h, which means it purifies the air very quickly and can quickly remove indoor dust and particles. In addition, for the most worrying problem of formaldehyde at home, its formaldehyde CADR has reached 150 m³/h, which can effectively and continuously metabolize formaldehyde that is constantly released in daily life. It is very suitable for use in general apartments and rooms with open floors:
Filter element and purification system (five layers of combined purification)
After taking a look at the appearance and hardware of Xiaomi Air Purifier 6, let’s briefly talk about its filter element and purification system. The core selling point this time is that it is equipped with a multi-layered “five-layer composite purification system”. The sensor mentioned above is only responsible for detection, and the filter element is the most powerful protective cover.
its first floor H13 grade HEPA primary filter, will first intercept all the visible pet hair and large particles of dust in the air; then throughHigh efficiency filter elementDeals with ultra-fine particles of 0.3μm and eliminates annoying pollen, dust mites and other allergens. If your family, pets, and children are prone to allergies and sneezing, these two layers of filtration are specifically designed to deal with such problems.
In addition, it has addedHigh quality columnar activated carbon, whether it’s the odor of your furry child going to the toilet, the odor of eating strong food, or the most terrifying formaldehyde, it will be firmly adsorbed and decomposed in this layer. Finally, it has built-in UVC ultraviolet sterilization module, can directly eliminate common bacteria and viruses in the air inside the machine, filter them layer by layer and then blow them outFresh negative ions. complete setintercept、Deodorize、SterilizationA one-time process to keep the air in your home clean and fresh at all times:
Supports Mijia App linkage, allowing you to maintain fresh air even when you are not at home
One of the biggest features of buying Xiaomi products is that most of them support Mijia App linkage. Users can control and check the machine status from the App:
Setting up the linkage is very simple. As long as you have a mobile phone and Wifi at home, you can link it through the App. I won’t go into details here. After linking, you can see the various statuses of Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 from the App, such as PM1, PM2.5, dust, temperature, humidity, etc. The information on the App is exactly the same as the screen on the phone:
Let me briefly introduce the functions in the App. First, on the home page of the App, you can see various values of the space where the machine is currently located. You can even refer to the changes in each value at different times. By pulling down, you can choose to switch on or off the UV light, negative ions, child safety lock, display body screen, prompt sound, timing, view filter consumables… and other functions:
Among them, the timer function is one of the functions that individuals will set first. For example, for users who do not have pets at home, it would be a waste of electricity to leave the air purifier on all day. At this time, you can set the timer function to have the air purifier automatically turn on at a designated time before you go home from get off work. As soon as you get home, you will have clean air and can also purify the bacteria and dust you brought home. Finally, set a designated time to turn off, for example, turn off the phone after leaving for work. In this way, you can achieve the purpose of saving power:
Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 actual test
Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 has a total of six modes that can be switched, namely one-stage, two-stage, three-stage, automatic, sleep, and my favorite. Press the switch button at the bottom of the screen to switch. By default, there will be a switching sound when switching. If you don’t like the sound, you can turn off the notification sound function in the App:
The overall operating sound of Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 6 is also very non-intrusive. Even at the highest gear, it can maintain a volume performance of <64 decibels. It is not as noisy as a modified car when some air purifiers are running at full speed. And when it switches to "sleep mode" at night, the operating sound is reduced to an almost minimal hum. This is really a plus for adults who are light sleepers and for babies who have a hard time coaxing them to sleep! Put it in the bedroom or baby's room at night. Not only can it continuously filter allergens and odors all night long, but you don't have to worry about the annoying hum of the machine interrupting your family's good dreams. It can be said to be an air purifier that can quietly protect and purify the surrounding air:
Since no one in the family has the habit of smoking, the purification test is conducted with strong-smelling perfume. In the automatic mode, I stood about one meter away from the purifier and pressed five or six times of perfume that usually smells stronger to simulate the sudden pungent smell in life. Just a few seconds after spraying, the five-layer sensor of Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 immediately detected the changes in chemical molecules in the air! You can see that the values on the screen immediately turned from green to red (faster than the stock price limit), and the status indicators such as PM1, PM2.5, and Dust also instantly changed from green with good air to warning red. In the automatic mode, the machine immediately automatically raises the gear and performs a powerful purification action.
And its purification efficiency is super fast. It only takes a few seconds after spraying. Most of the pungent perfume smell that originally filled the surroundings has been decomposed, but some residual perfume smell can still be smelled. But after letting it run for a few minutes or a few hours, the room returned to its original fresh and odorless state. The odor removal ability is really impressive. For example, if you have a furry child at home who has just gone to the toilet, or the whole family is eating salty crispy chicken or hot pot in the living room, as long as this amazing machine is around, the annoying smell can be solved quickly for you!
Summary: The purest respiratory protection net for your family and furry children
After this period of in-depth testing, “Xiaomi Air Purifier 6“Definitely suitable for modern families, especially those with children and furry children at home.Patron Saint Teammate. The most amazing thing about it this time is the ultra-sensitive “five-fold sensing system” and the new PM1 sensor, which can accurately capture even the smallest suspended particles. Combined with the internal “five-layer composite purification system” and UVC sterilization, it can intercept hair, decompose formaldehyde, and achieve deep sterilization all at once. The extremely fast deodorization performance in actual testing brings a full sense of peace of mind. In terms of daily maintenance, the thoughtful design of the “removable and washable top cover” makes cleaning the fan blades easy and labor-saving, allowing the air purifier to bid farewell to the nightmare of dust and pet hair accumulated over the years. In addition, its low-noise performance is excellent, and its sleep mode is almost silent, making it perfect for family members who are sleeping lightly.
But if we have to pick a shortcoming, it is probably that there are no handles on both sides of the appearance of the whole machine, and there are no rollers on the bottom. If you want to move the machine frequently between the living room, room and kitchen, you may find it inconvenient to move it. But this shortcoming can be ignored as long as you have money. If you buy a few more and put them at home, you will not have these worries XD
Overall, this air purifier is suitable for a space of about 9 to 15 square meters. If you are worried about seasonal allergies, pet dander or indoor odors, and want an air purifier that is comprehensive, easy to clean and smart, this is definitely a high-quality investment to protect the health of the whole family!
