Airthings 292 Wave Mini - Indoor Air Quality Monitor with Volatile Organic Compound (VOC), Humidity and Temperature Detectors, Cable-Free

Like many I bought this to try and solve damp and humidity issues. It seems very basic but it's actually very useful because the temperature water condenses on walls is about 16° c. So if you are managing your heating it's really good to check if you are able to maintain that because it's crucial to avoiding mildew and mould in the winter months. Particularly through the night. It's also quite interesting to see what your refrigerator is doing I was surprised my temperature goes up and down quite a lot. No need to open the fridge door.

Compact, good battery life so far, app easy to use so you can compare results over different timeframes (and across different devices if you had more than one). I find it fine to just use Bluetooth when nearby to upload readings.

Checks air quality and warns of mould growth, easy to set up.

I purchased it, because it said it will be able to tell you what is your mould risk. After reading the booklet I realized it will not, it puts you in mold risk if you have 60% or more humidity, now every other product that’s like £10 can do that actually. Battery will die after 2 months. Most importantly ai had a HUGE mould issue just behind my bed, I kept the product next to it, it has not said a thing, and the only reason I discovered the mould is because i started to have health issues. VOC meter will increase if you take a shower, so cannot be trusted. I wish I read the reviews before purchasing. Please don’t waste your money, I can safely tell you, buy something much cheaper!!

When you connect the device it tells you it doesn’t detect mould

Just as long as you realize this does not detect mold spores this may be ok. But there are much cheaper options if you are concerned about humidity only. If you are concerned about VOC levels, this may be a good investment

Just received this item and whilst outside packaging was fine the product box had been ripped open by a previous customer so was in fact second hand, no way should manufacturer send items out like this.

Reads radon which is the second most common cause of lung cancer (to smoking).

should give CO2 aswell, but the omly product I know who controls mold

Up to now it seems, that it is quality and reliable product. I compared its values with other devices that I use for measurement of air quality and measured values are consistent. Customer care of producer is very good.

Fa il suo dovere

Je suis très satisfaite de ce capteur de qualité de l'air. Il fournit des informations précieuses et fiables sur l'humidité, la température et surtout la qualité de l'air intérieur. C'est étonnant de voir à quel point certains gestes du quotidien peuvent impacter l'air que l'on respire. Grâce à lui, je peux agir en conséquence (aérer plus souvent, utiliser un déshumidificateur etc...) et maintenir un environnement sain. Un appareil simple à utiliser, mais au bénéfices considérable
