Buy the right Xiaomi air purifier and breathe easily this summer
Summer is here, and South Africans who struggle with the heat, humidity, and allergies will find relief with Xiaomi’s range of smart air purification devices.
Xiaomi’s range of smart air purification devices addresses the main issues South Africans face in summer, with air purifiers to help combat rising allergens and dehumidifiers to make coastal living more comfortable.
This is essential as 20-30% of all South Africans suffer from hay fever, and data from the SA Pollen Monitoring Network found that tree pollen levels have doubled in inland city air.
In summer, these issues become more pronounced as South Africans keep their windows open to deal with the heat, letting in more allergens.
Additionally, in coastal regions, the massive increase in humidity that summer brings can be extremely uncomfortable and may pose a health hazard due to the increased likelihood of mould or damp appearing.
We outline what Xiaomi’s range of smart air purification devices offers, below.
Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier with Humidification Pro – Built for inland homes
The Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier with Humidification Pro is perfect for inland houses thanks to having both purification and humidification features.
This is centred around an impressive 400 m³/h Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR), and an 8L water tank enables up to 16 hours of continuous operation before requiring attention.
Thanks to this, the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier with Humidification Pro can manage even in larger homes and effectively combat the summer heat.
This includes at night, where its sleep mode will ensure you aren’t disturbed, thanks to noise levels as low as 14.6 dB(A).
Its purification capabilities are powered by a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter and carbon filtration, which eliminate allergens before they can cause discomfort.
These features are all remotely controllable via the Xiaomi Home app or voice control, ensuring that even when you’re out, you can ensure you return to an allergen-free home.
The Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier with Humidification Pro is available in South Africa for a recommended retail price (RRP) of R10,059.
Xiaomi Smart Dehumidifier Lite – Designed for high humidity, coastal homes
The Xiaomi Smart Dehumidifier Lite is built for coastal homes where high humidity is a major issue.
High humidity isn’t only uncomfortable; it also poses a health risk by increasing the likelihood of mould or damp forming in the house.
The Xiaomi Smart Dehumidifier Lite prevents this and keeps interiors drier by eliminating up to 13L of moisture from the air each day.
You won’t need to constantly monitor the Xiaomi Smart Dehumidifier Lite’s water tank either, as the large volumes of water it collects while pulling moisture from the air are handled by a one-metre drain hose.
A washable antibacterial filter with an impressive up to 99% antibacterial rate complements this and reduces the risks of secondary contamination.
While running, it also has three distinct modes to accommodate the room it’s currently dehumidifying.
These three modes are Smart, Clothes Drying, and Sleep, and they provide great flexibility for where you can use the Xiaomi Smart Dehumidifier Lite.
The Xiaomi Smart Dehumidifier Lite is available for a RRP of R4,799.
Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 – Designed for open-plan and large homes
The Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 is built for larger homes with open-plan floor designs that would usually require several air purifiers.
The Air Purifier 6 can manage large interior spaces on its own, thanks to a powerful 443 m³/h Particle CADR.
This allows it to handle even 50-square-metre spaces without issue.
An integrated activated carbon filter and HEPA filter complement this functionality, allowing the Air Purifier 6 to eliminate 99.98% of fine particulate matter, as well as odours, formaldehyde, and TVOCs.
South Africans with larger families, and rooms that see a lot of foot traffic, will especially benefit from this, as the Air Purifier 6 can handle the heavy load such situations create – eliminating the need to run multiple purifiers concurrently.
The Xiaomi Air Purifier 6 can be controlled remotely via the Xiaomi Home app or through voice control and is available for an RRP of R4,699.
Xiaomi Smart Pet Care Air Purifier – Built for pet-owner homes
The Xiaomi Smart Pet Care Air Purifier was tailor-made for South Africans with pets who struggle with their allergies.
It boasts triple-layer purification with large-particle, high-efficiency, and activated carbon filters, alongside targeted odour removal.
This is essential as dog and cat hair can be a major irritant, while animals can bring many smells and odours into a house.
A 360-degree air intake with a particle CADR of 230 m³/h complements this, ensuring efficient purification for small and medium-sized rooms.
As some air purifiers can sometimes be an issue for some pets, the Xiaomi Smart Pet Care Air Purifier also comes with an automatic anti-stress algorithm and a pet safety lock.
The algorithm will gradually adjust airflow to minimise noise and avoid sudden changes that could startle pets, while also preventing accidental activations caused by climbing pets.
The Xiaomi Smart Pet Care Air Purifier is available for a RRP of R2,599.
Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact – Designed for apartments, bedrooms, and studies
The Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact boasts a sleek form factor and high efficiency, making it ideal for smaller rooms or apartments.
It is powered by an ultra-quiet, power-efficient brushless DC motor that produces minimal noise during operation.
This makes it perfect for studies and rooms where you work and can’t afford distractions.
Thanks to this efficient motor, the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact offers a 230 m³/h CADR, which can handle decent-sized rooms without issue.
Real-time air-monitoring complements this and ensures the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact runs only when needed.
These features make the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact the perfect companion for any South African who works for lengthy periods in enclosed rooms, as in summer, such rooms can quickly become stuffy and uncomfortable.
Its RRP is R2,199, making it a great pick for a first-time buyer as well.
