Element Indoor Air Quality Monitor - AQM8002A

Now that I'm working from home full time like many of us, I was concerned about the air quality in my home office. This device helped me to immediately diagnose the issues with my air quality and I've seen the immediate results of taking steps to improve it (cracking open a window when CO2 is too high, getting a humidifier to combat the dry desert climate, etc).The device looks great and the display on the device itself is pretty easy to understand once you get used to what each of the bars means. I also like how the display can be adjusted to show any of the metrics individually or can be used as a simple clock if desired. I also appreciate the light level adjustment and the sleep mode which would come in handy if using the device in a bedroom.Additionally, I've found the mobile software to be top notch. I like being able to track trends over time and see the impact of my actions in graph form. Unlike others here I personally haven't had any issues keeping it connected to WiFi, though I understand that would be frustrating.All in all, if you're spending more time at home lately and are concerned about your air quality, I'd highly recommend this!

I was on the fence buying this due to the price but its worth it. The app is well made and offers a lot of useful information. recommendations and a widget for a quick view of the air quality. There are also push notification is the event air quality changes for the worse.Accuracy is hard to measure since I do not have any professional equipment to test but based on the past week everything is fairly stable without much fluctuation. I found CO2 does change based on environmental conditions really well. If I am cooking with my gas burning stove and do not use the exhaust vent the levels will rise gradually. Once I turn the vent on and crack a window it will begin to fall as expected. PM2.5 also falls in line with my HEPA filter usage. I used to turn them off at night but found by morning the PM2.5 was very high until I ran them again for multiple hours. Temperature and humidity are dead on with my thermostat.Despite the pictures the unit is really small and can fit anyway. Another bonus is the power plug is USBC allowing you to run a longer cable if needed.

This air quality monitor is the only one I found that includes: CO2, TVOC, PM, WIFI/BLUETOOTH, and integration with Google Home. I shied away from it for almost a month because several reviewers said it was difficult to get connected to wifi and that it was flakey about staying connected. I'm happy to report it was one of the easiest smoothest installations of any techy device ever. Instructions were clear and accurate; not a single hiccup or issue - fully set up in 5 minutes. And the functionality of the app and the on-device display is perfect. Total homerun!follow-up after a week: The other caution from reviews I read was that the minimalist design was too cryptic and not clearly informative. I find the unit to be very nicely designed and the display is a super clever way to present all the useful data without looking like a loud eyesore in your room. 5 lines of dots show you 5 key metrics and if that's too complicated the single number on the display is your overall air quality score from 1 to 100. OR you can customize the display to more literally show you any 1 of the 5 metrics. The display on this is a design achievement.

We have 3 Awair devices. We bought one of the first gen devices, a glow c, and this device (the element). Loved the device and it functioned well for several years.Recently they decided to “sunset” the gen 1 device and the glow c. It will still “read” the air but removes the data from the app which essentially renders it useless. Sure, the led indicator works but what’s the point when I have no idea what is high or low? I bought these for my kids’ rooms to monitor their air and temp. I can’t do that with an led light in another room. I spent almost $400 on the devices that mind you, work just fine and have been working fine but because the company decided they want to force me to upgrade the devices are as good as bricks. Will not be buying more devices from a company that is deceptive and treats its customers this way. Was an early adopter and supporter of this company but definitely not a fan now and incredibly disappointed. If you’re considering buying an element… beware.

The Awair Element Indoor Air Quality Monitor worked well for 20 months, and then it's died. I like how it just sat there, in its appointed location, sensing temperature, humidity, CO2, VOCs, and PM2.5 levels, in my living room, which is the best location within my apartment. It had a 1-year warranty and it lasted 2/3 longer. However, I purchased this unit from Amazon for $149, all of 20 months ago. Now, Amazon's price is $281, while this vendor asks $265. For a 1-year warranty, I won't buy this unit again at such prices. I highly recommend the Awair Element Indoor Air Quality Monitor...at $149. It just sat there, always on, without a battery to fuss with. How can it only last 1 year, or only 20 months? Newer tech is available now, so I'll look for that.
