Customer Ratings & Reviews

It works well! Wonderful device helping to track CO2 levels as the PM2.5 and humidity. I live in New Orleans near train tracks and it helps me to know when I absolutely need to open the windows to get fresh air while filtering air with my levoit when air quality is bad. I use it with dehumidifier Midea cube to ensure keeping humidity stable after opening windows. It’s kind of expensive but so many sensor which are accurate. How do I compare? Pm2.5 are same reading than Levoit and humidity same reading than Midea… co2 decrease quickly after opening windows so it seems it works! Happy of it to keep myself healthy as much as possible.

We bought a newly constructed house and Radon level were elevated in inspection report. We put in Mitigation system and wanted to monitor the air quality round the clock. After some anaysis i bought Airthing, it is on pricy side but important equiment. After initial hiccups of setup it was quite precise and accurate. It was sennding me notification as our house was vlosed for few days and Co2 levels were high. Overall very satified with the buy.

About the View Plus The View Plus by Airthings is air quality monitor that provides measurements of the air pollutants in your environment. It displays them on the device and also delivers them to your phone via an app. The pollutants that it tracks are radon, particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon dioxide, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and air pressure. It can work as battery powered or wired and connects to your WiFi. Packaging and Contents Packaging was nothing special. It has a cardboard box with a paperboard display wrap. It is recyclable. Contents include the monitor, a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, 3 Command Strips, and some very short instructions. Features As mentioned above, and probably most important, the monitor tracks radon, particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon dioxide, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and air pressure. Connection requires both WiFi 802.11b/g/n at 2.4 Ghz and Bluetooth 4.2 or later. Packaging says that this works with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and IFTTT. Battery or USB powered – Batteries are non-chargeable AA. It requires 6 batteries. After about a week I had 95% power remaining. App – it utilizes the Airthings app which can be found in the AppStore or GooglePlay. The app allows you to log the data instead of just seeing it in real-time. The View Plus can be used as a hub for other Airthings devices. You must use the USB cord if it’s being used in Hub mode. Connectivity This is where I had several issues. The View Plus appeared to connect with the app easily. Once connected, my Orbi identified it as a Ring Doorbell which I thought was odd, but I can change that in the Orbi app. Things got worse from there. The View Plus would not stay connected to the internet. I kept getting an error saying “No Connection Internet” on the device display. I could manually connect it to the internet in the Airthings app, but it would always fall off of the connected device list in my router’s app. After two days of off & on connectivity I sat the product down 7 feet away and in sight of my router. I did a full reboot of the router and the View Plus reconnected immediately. After the router reboot the View Plus appeared to be connected since I was not getting the internet connection error on the View Plus display. The problem remained that it didn’t show up as a connected device on the router app. I can go to the Airthings app and it says I am connected. At this point, I want to blame the router but I am unsure of how the device interacts with the WiFi. More disclosure - The router I am using is one of Netgear’s newest and most expensive mesh routers and I really hope that I am not having an issue with it. I also had done a router reboot prior to this, and this was the second attempt in connecting it with the View Plus. Appearance of the Monitor The shape of the monitor is kind of a pill shape with all white casing. It reminds me of a thermostat. The screen is black pixel text on a colorless background (think Kindle style). There is no color or backlight on the display other than 3 color dots that indicate air quality after you wave your hand in front of the display. The display only shows two measurements which you must select in the app. Appearance of the App The app is in full color. It displays the individual measurements for all 6 levels. Measurements can be viewed at the same time on the main app dashboard or individually with more data and history on following screens. There’s also a web dashboard that displays the same information in a different way. See my photo uploads for the App vs Web dashboard views. There is also a pollen tracker in another section that provides measurements by determining your location and relying on an external data source. My Impressions I really like the type of information that this gathers. It’s really important to know if you are in an environment that is unhealthy. You can develop all kinds of health issues because you simply didn’t know. This device will help arm you with information so that you can make necessary adjustments to avoid these health issues. The app takes some time to calibrate, but you can see the measurements as they come in to be compiled. Requires 30 days for the radon calibration and 7 for the rest of the tracked measurements. The device and display are not the fanciest in appearance. The shell is plain and only comes in the one color. Additional color shells could be an option that Airthings may want to consider. The display has no color and it only displays two measurements. I would prefer to see a color display with all measurements even if it requires a larger screen. I’m sure that some of this is limited to save on battery life, but at the retail price, it costs more than my Ecobee and the View Plus only provides information. It doesn’t actually control anything. The pollen information is found in a different area of the app. I would like to see that moved into the dashboard with the other readings. Due to the connection errors with my router and the fact that it still doesn’t show as being connected to my router in my Orbi app, I am lacking confidence with whether I am connected or not. I have not seen the connection error on the display device, so I have to assume that I am now connected. The packaging says that the device can connect to Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. I saw nothing in the app or instructions that discusses this. Conclusion I want to give the Airthings View Plus a 3.5 star rating, but since that’s not an option I will mark it at 3 stars. The concept is really worthwhile and I believe that air quality monitoring should be a part of every building. There were several things that could be improved and I lack confidence about the connectivity of the device. Overall, I do find this product to be helpful so I would recommend it. I would like to see some of the bugs worked out and the appearance changes mentioned above.

Airthings products have interested me for a while now and I had seen/heard a lot of good things so when I got the view plus I was excited to see if everything I had heard was true and the view plus did not disappoint. The setup is super easy as the app walks you through everything and all the steps are laid out in a nice elegant manner. The setup process shows you what is shown on the screen and how to view other data/adjust the data being shown. There are small gestures (waving hand across the device) which make using the view plus a breeze and the lighting system (green for good/ red for bad) is simple and intuitive. The e-paper display is easy to read and give you the information you need at a glance. Now obviously the main reason for this product is the sensors which help detect temperature, radon, Co2, humidity , air pressure, VOC and particulate matter PM2.5 help you get data on your surrounds and help you enjoy a better night sleep, avoid headaches and even save your life. From using the view plus I was able to see the changes I needed to make and the best thing about it is the view plus helped advise on what I needed to do to improve my surrounding. The great thing about the suggestion is that the app is so well laid out , it helps you understand all of the data in lamen’s terms instead of just giving you numbers which you would have to go research the meaning off. The view plus is a smart well made product with a matured app that give you exactly what you need and this added with the fact that it can work as a hub when plugged in makes it a must have.

This Airthings View Plus has really been a huge surprise to me. My grandpa built this house in 1935. Some part of my family has lived here ever since. It has been remodeled, but the basement is still in existence. It has never crossed my mind that radon might be an issue in our home, until I got the Airthings View Plus. Since turning this on, I have been keeping up with the air quality in our home. It takes 7 days to calibrate the settings on some of them like the radon and carbon dioxide, but the rest of them are available immediately. It’s a fairly small unit, but the numbers are readable and stand out. You can customize what you see on the screen by selecting two of the things monitored. This gives you indoor temperature, humidity, particulate matter 2.5, particulate matter 1, radon, barometric pressure, and volatile organic compounds. The application, Airthings Wave, gives you all the information you will need. The application is very impressive too. The View Plus uses 6 batteries or the USB C cable, and both are included. It connects to Wifi while using the USB. While it’s plugged up, it won’t use the batteries. When it’s unplugged, the batteries will be used. The batteries are not rechargeable. When you wave your hand in front of the View Plus, it gives you an immediate air quality rating. It’s a really good product to have. The app will also tell you if your CO2 is high and that you need to open the windows to let it air out. Really cool device. I highly recommend it.

Airthings makes a few different air monitoring products, and I chose the View Plus as it keeps track of seven different air quality parameters. We moved recently to a house that was built in 2021 and is slab-on-grade construction, so I was interested in how it would test for radon and general air quality since new houses are so much more air tight than the 37 year old house we moved from. The View Plus has a no-nonsense, utilitarian design, made of white plastic (hopefully a non-yellowing variety), in an oval shape that is designed to hang on the wall, or sit somewhere on its base that has a large rubber pad to protect delicate surfaces. There are no control buttons on the monitor itself and all functionality is controlled by the free smartphone app titled “Airthings Wave”. The View Plus is powered by six AA batteries OR a USB cord (USB-A to USB-C). When powered by USB, it will NOT charge the batteries if you have installed rechargeable ones. Batteries and the USB cord are included, along with three 3M Command Adhesive strips for mounting to a flat surface such as a wall. The back panel of the View Plus will also accommodate mounting via three screws, but screws and wall anchors are not included, nor is a power adapter to use with the power cord. There is a small quick start guide (3” x 3”) that devotes a whole two pages to each language. It does include a QR code that when scanned takes you to the detailed user manual which is a good thing as it is a little difficult to find when poking around on the Airthings website on your own. The black and white display on the monitor body can be set to continuously display two of the seven parameters that the View Plus can sense (it is actually eight, as it can monitor two different sizes of particulate matter, but the results for one size can be viewed only on the Airthings Dashboard on their website, and not on the built-in display or on the phone app). The two parameters that you can view on the device itself can be changed via the smartphone/tablet app and cannot be changed via the monitor itself. One clever function of the monitor is that you can wave your hand in front of the device and it will show a colored light (green, yellow, or red) to show you if any parameters are outside of the accepted levels and the display will then change momentarily to show you all of the ones that are elevated (yellow or red, depending on how high above the accepted level they are). This way you can quickly check if things are OK without using your phone or tablet to check the app. The graphs on the app and the Dashboard are displayed in an easy to understand view, with clickable links to explain more about the different parameters being monitored. The items that the View Plus can monitor are: temperature, humidity, radon, volatile organic compounds (VOC), barometric pressure, carbon dioxide levels, and particulate matter (two different sizes). I used our existing thermostats to compare temperature and humidity level accuracy, and my iPhone to compare barometric pressure accuracy. The View Plus was very close or matched exactly on these measurements I could compare against, which leads me to believe the other sensors are of like accuracy. While I don’t doubt the Command Adhesive strips will support the weight of the View Plus, I would prefer to use something a little more substantial such as screws to hold a device to the wall, especially since the warranty specifies that damage due to dropping the device is not covered. The quick start guide, the website, and the detailed manual make no mention as to how to open the back of the View Plus to change the batteries or plug in the USB cord. Since it is plastic, I hated to just start prying on it for fear of breaking a plastic tab that holds the back cover in place. Hint: stick your finger in the slot at the bottom of the cover and pull outwards - there is a snap at the bottom and at the top are two tabs that fit into slots on the main body of the device. It appears that if you screw the back cover to the wall, you can remove the device by pulling on the bottom of it and then lifting it off of the tabs at the top of the cover thus leaving the cover attached to the wall. Besides having trouble finding the detailed manual on the website (I should have scanned the QR code, but I would rather look at this type of information on my laptop rather than my phone), it took me awhile to discover that I use the same username and password to access the Dashboard as what I used to create my account on the app, and the secrecy about the back cover, I think the website could be a little more user friendly. But some people would just call me stupid. All-in-all I find the Airthings View Plus an amazing little device that gives me access to a multitude of air quality data that is essential for monitoring not only my day-to-day comfort, but also helping me assess the negative health impact of radon, VOC, and particulate levels. You spend a lot of time in your house, so shouldn’t you make it as healthy of a place as you can? And to do that you need to know what things need attention or correction, and Airthings monitors can do just that.

Received my Airthings View Plus and was pleased to give it a try. I already own 2 of the Airthings Corentium Radon Detectors and was curious to see how this would measure up to those in the radon department. The first thing of course is to download the Airthings Wave app. Then pull the tab on the unit and set up an account. They walk you through the setup steps and connecting to your internet. You will have 8 choices on the app screen to choose 2 from. These 2 will be the ones that are constantly displayed for you on the unit. The eight are Radon, 1 or 2 Particulate Matter, VOC, CO2, Humidity, Temperature, Pressure and Weather & Temperature. To start I chose Radon and PM2.5. I did have a radon mitigation system installed last summer due to the high readings on my Corentium Radon detectors. You can change the screen settings on the app and it's very simple. You can also set up notifications from the Airthings App and the app shows you Recommended Sensor Thresholds for each category via a red, yellow or green dot. Obviously the red is poor, yellow is fair and greens are good. It does suggest you calibrate for 7 days on everything except the Radon which they recommend 30 days to get accurate readings. I placed it in the home office since I spend so much time there and my bedroom is right off it, so I figured it would be able to read from both areas. I also already have the radon and a carbon monoxide monitor in my bedroom. The app has a really nice WEB DASHBOARD which shows you the readings plus your battery life and when it synced last. They include a USB cord if you don't wish to rely on the non-rechargeable batteries but you need to provide the charger itself. I decided to just use the battery and after 6 days it's still at 100%. I did notice on the app there is also a Pollen counter for Tree-Grass-Weed but it's off season here in Wisconsin so I couldn't get readings from that. However come this spring it will certainly come in quite handy. When you want to see settings on the unit you wave your hand across the front and readings will show up. Even though the screen is not lit up the letters are dark and very easily readable. I'm sure the company did that to save battery life. A good move if you ask me. I also connected it to my Alexa and it will tell me the current readings. I find that helpful as I don't have to physically check the device or my phone, but it is much more detailed if you are on the app. Since I usually have my phone with me as I travel about the house I don't ask Alexa about it much, but it's there to use if I wish to. All the readings on mine looked really good except my CO2 is rather high and in the yellow. Not sure what's causing that but am going to have my furnace cleaning done and perhaps it will lower the number. The View Plus radon reading matched very closely to my Corentium Radon Detector so I know it's pretty dead on right, as that reader was checked by the installers when they placed the radon mitigation system in. All in all I find this Airthings View Plus is most useful and I'm quite happy with it. I definitely recommend its purchase for checking the air quality in your home, which if left unchecked and isn't good, could be making you sick and you don't even know it. Everyone needs one of these for their health and peace of mind so just buy it. Well worth the money spent!

A good air quality tracker but it has some drawbacks. When my wife and I bought our house the inspector ran the radon test and it came in at 4.2. He recommended to retest and possibly get a mitigation system. That was 4 years ago. Decided to pick up this airthings device to help with the radon. Installed it in the kitchen. Setup is easy. It comes with 9 AA batteries but you can also install with a power cord if you choose. I decided to just use the batteries, but thats part of the drawbacks ill mention later. Theres a plastic piece on the back of the sensor. Pop that off, use the included double sided tape and install in a location of your choosing. It tells you best locations. I picked the kitchen next to our thermostat. Pull the plastic tab in the batteries, download the airthings app and follow setup. Pretty simple. The airthings sensor does require 7 days to fully “calibrate” it tells you. I am writing this review on day 8. The app is helpful because you can track your data and get helpful information such as what exactly pm 2.5, voc, and the rest if the readings on the sensor are. It tells you where they come from. Again my big one I wanted to see was radon. It started at 0.5 for first few days, then made its way to 1.9, but came back down to 0.7 but the end of the 7 day period. So Im not really sure what to think. I may run it in the basement again for a week to see if i can get close to the 4.2 the inspector came to many years ago now. The other thing about this sensor is you can “wave” your hand in front of it and the sensor will switch between readings, given you a color coded rating system. Red is bad, green is good. What I found is usually early in the morning all the readings are green but then at night everything is red. Obviously there are alot of particles and things inside that make the air quality worse. Cooking fumes affects this too. Plus we have forced air and multiple pets. So im sure all that is working against us. So again overall a good sensor that will track your air quality and give you the data you want. So here’s the “bad” in my opinion: 1. This seems very old school. And by that i mean think of the original cell phones with those green screens. For $300 WHY does this not have a touch screen or colored led screen? There is no reason for this to be so old design wise. Building on this, it seems very big and clunky. I understand it had to have whatever type of sensors inside to calibrate data properly, but in 2022 we can’t make this sleeker? 2. Battery life. Again you can use batteries or use the included cord and have to run to an electrical source. I have only used this for 7 days and the app says battery life is down to 93%. So its lost 1% a day. Im hoping the initial drain was due to the first calibration and it will pan out, but so far thats not good. If it continues at this pace then obviously you only get 100 days of use before having to replace 9 AA batteries. A little over 3 months. Thats not great. So overall a few drawbacks to me, but overall a good item that will suit most needs.

Great sensor but the charts are a little difficult to read. When you pull them up you can’t tell what is now and was is in the past. The numbers are in averages.

I suffer from allergies from my new digs in the MidWest, but I would have benefitted from this device in Southern California because it measures contaminants really well. There are a few sensors measuring things like CO2, particulates, radon, and organic compounds. My most important is particulate matter which measures dust, pollens, and other small particles that can really get in your sinuses in allergy mode. I like the idea of using an ePaper screen to save battery power, since its display doesn’t update very often, but it’d be nice to have a backlight or something so I can see it when I pass by it at night. It takes about a week to get fully calibrated, and when it does, you can get a fairly accurate idea of what is floating around in your house’s air. I think that it’s really easy to set up, the packaging is really good to the environment with very little plastic tape and nothing but biodegradable cushioning. A fairly premium experience all the way through. I could have been helped with a paper template for the screwing in of the backplate to my wall, but one was not included; Not a big deal. I like the idea of using Google Assistant to figure out my particulate level and connecting everything with ITTTT to make my air cleaner fans turn on but I didn’t use that feature because my air cleaners are always on trying to keep up with this crazy area of allergen horror. Further, I couldn’t figure out how to work it. Oh well: Would be better if this was directly connected with Google Home. I think this is a great air monitor and I would highly recommend it, but you could also just spend a little more and get something that includes an air cleaner.

Airthings View Plus Air Quality monitor This is neat ! I figured I would give it a try in home for a few weeks. My initial thoughts were jokingly - "Wow - this provides a wealth of information about things I can't change!". I was WRONG - You can change and act on all this data to make improvements in the air quality of your home. Once The unit completes it's initial calibration - you can enable preset alerts that will inform you if anything goes to dangerous / high / bad levels. After spending some time reading on the Airthings site - I found I could dramatically increase the air quality in my home by making a few small changes. There are two people in our household with a form of Asthma, one is mild and the other is potentially severe. In both cases I can now directly correlate our indoor air factors with asthma sensitivity and use that to make decisions about improving it. Since this was installed - I have added a metered fresh air input to our primary HVAC, I have switched our air filters to a higher MERV rating + Charcoal pre-filter and finally, I am in the process of installing a whole house humidification system. I had no idea that our indoor humidity swings were as bad as they are reported. I also gained a good appreciation for the difference these factors make in a good nights sleep, levels of static and particulate in the air etc... . What I love - 2 YEAR battery life on a few AA's - Count me in on not running wires ! High contrast E-paper screen Not so great - Only available in white

Living in an apartment for the past 4 years and working from home the past two years I've noticed that my allergies have gotten worse and wanted to monitor just exactly what is going on with the air quality in my place. The Airthings View Plus was just the product I was looking for. The setup on this device is super easy, just pull the plastic pull tab on the back of the device to turn it on and then download the Airthings app from your phone's app store. The app takes you through a step by step process in setting it up, which is super easy and you’re good to go. The app says it will take about 7 days for it to get a proper diagnosis of your room, but during that time I received notifications alerting me that the Co2 and Pm levels were higher than usual, this mostly happened while i was cooking (put the View Plus in my open living room/kitchen as I spend the most time in there). This was very helpful information because I wasn't really using my kitchen stove air ventilation when cooking and the app recommended me to use that in the tips sections. The app also informed me that the PM levels were high in my place, which led me to reach out to my apartment complex, to ask about the air filters and come to find out that they haven't changed them in over two years ( complex changed ownership and they straight up forgot). Since I live on the first floor I don't really have the luxury to really open my patio door or windows to create some airflow in my apartment, so the app also recommended getting an Air Purifier to help combat the bad Co2 and Pm levels ( which arrived this week) so I’m looking forward to see just how much that helps going forward.The interface on the device itself is pretty cool with its E-ink display, so you don't have to worry about constantly charging it and has it has a little motion sensor that switches between the different the different readings. My only real complaint and is a minor one is that when you hit the question mark for what a specific reading is, it will take you out of the app to their webpage giving a detailed description of what the reading is. This kinda defeats the purpose of an app if it has to take you out of the app to explain what the specific reading is. Overall I feel like the Airthings View Plus is a great monitor to give you a better understanding of the air quality you are breathing in on a daily basis and how to go about fixing those issues so that you can breathe better going forward.

Let’s just say the Airthings View Plus and Wave Plus devices may have just saved my family from prolonged, elevated Radon exposure. I was excited to get an air quality monitor just to see what the air quality was really like inside of our home. Especially radon levels which puts people at higher risk for lung cancer. Upon plugging the device in, we were alarmed to find radon levels over 4x the level considered safe by the EPA in our home. The first thought was “this can’t right, right?!” Well, it was. In the Box: - Monitor - USB-A to USB-C Cable - Adhesive Strips - Instructions Setup/Usage: The View Plus can be powered by batteries or plugged into the wall. The unit has to be plugged in to act as a “hub” for other smart Airthings devices such as the Wave Plus, which we bought for the basement. The setup is very simple on these devices as you download the app, follow the directions to connect to the internet, and select 2 air monitors to display on the screen itself. We chose C02 and Radon. You will need Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n at 2.4 Ghz and Bluetooth 4.2 or later which most (if not all) devices support these days. I connected this to a Netgear Orbi Pro Wi-Fi 6 mesh system without issues. The app and web dashboard of this device are very good. You can display detailed graphs and data from the monitor, receive alerts, and keep up to date about the air quality in your home. It is recommended to leave the device alone for 7 days to calibrate the readings and radon is recommended for 30 days. After a week, we determined the radon readings were too high so we took steps to upgrade our “passive” radon system in our home to an “active” system with a fan. This process varies between homes but because ours already had a PVC tube from the basement floor into the attic, it was essentially extending that tube through the roof, adding a fan in the attic, sealing all exposed cracks in the floor, and making sure the tube was installed into the basement floor correctly. After the radon mitigation system was completed the radon levels started to drop instantly. The levels went from a peak in the basement to just over 16 (pCi/L) and over 10 (pCi/L) on the main level to just over 2 (pCi/L) in the basement and 1 (pCi/L) on the main level. This is well within healthy levels for a living space and we are very happy with those levels compared to the former. Outside of this, most other levels measured by the device are healthy levels. The C02 levels are higher than we would like but they appear to be dropping or steady with the radon mitigation system. We will continue to monitor these but overall the two Airthings devices have been working perfectly. The View Plus makes a great hub for the Wave Plus. Having one device on each level is perfect for the average family home. Overall: So as you can see, the Airthings devices very well could have saved my family from long term health consequences as related to radon exposure. Given the numbers were so high from the get go, it may have already impacted our health but we have now taken steps to get it mitigated and the home is now well below “safe” levels as determined by the EPA. I would highly recommend anyone to have an air quality monitor inside of your home to verify the air you are breathing is safe and/or healthy.

The Airthings - View Plus Air Quality/Radon/Carbon Dioxide/Temperature/Humidity with Alexa and Google Assistant in matte white is a small package that delivers to the buyer lots of important information from the air that inhabits their home, their office, or wherever they happen to exist. It is small and compact, a little bigger that a programmable thermostat used for your heating and air systems- about 6.5" east to west, 3.5" high, and 1.25" deep. The smaller dimensions lend its use in an inconspicuous way and can be put anywhere to map your air's features without drawing attention to the unit. Even though this unit is not cheap, I think that its benefits on providing lots of information on indoor air quality more than outweighs its costs. The reason that this drew my attention was because I have a basement and I have always wanted to assess whether there was radon gas and if there was, was it in an amount that would be harmful to life. Clearly, there is no cost one can put on the health of a member of either your home or office. I know that I do not anyone that I care about to wind up with any chronic or life-threatening disease if I can change the environment that creates those issues. So, like many items, you download an app, in my case from the Play Store since I have an android smartphone, and use that to first install the indoor air monitor and then view the results that all the sensors are creating analysis of the air samples that are constantly being charted over a period of time for each day. The unit is powered with either 6 installed batteries or a USB cord that comes with, too. When you open the app on your phone, it lets you know what % is charged. For instance, it says that the CO2 sensor measures for this every 5 minutes, that the PM, particulate matter, sensor is mapping over a 24 hour period because there are peaks and lows depending on what is going on inside the walls. By the way, once you have the analysis of your air, you can make changes to the way things are going by buying air purifiers, changing cooking and other behaviors and ultimately remediation by professional means if necessary. For instance, I have a large 3 level home, basement, level 1-common areas, including the kitchen, and level 2-the bedrooms. So, when my husband cooks he lets his pan heat up on the gas stove for quite a while and then throws his protein-chicken or beef into the pan and almost stir fry it on high heat. Even though he covers his pan, the CO2 and PM readings definitely go up and then drop when the smoke or whatever is being produced clears the air after a period of time. Make sure that you keep looking at your web dashboard to gain the knowledge that you need to make decisions from. By the way, thankfully I do not have a radon problem, at least not now and I am grateful for that because my home was literally built on a farm field that we needed land movers to create the pad for our construction, starting with the basement first. So, we needed to consider all the fertilizers and chemicals used here previously that could have affected the land, as well as, the fact that this is area is 100 percent clay and also previously used for a brick making plant, too. Like I said in the beginning, I whole-heartedly believe on the purchase of this unit.

The Airthings View Plus is a comprehensive air quality analyzer which belongs in every home. I live in a highrise condominium and the last thing I thought I would have to worry about was air quality. I did not realize that modern buildings can seal in stale air and does not allow any fresh air in. I am so happy that I decide to get the View Plus as it has shown high levels of Co2, Voc and radon which seeps from the concrete in the building. I am now aware of the importance of opening windows and allowing fresh air to circulate in the apartment. In the box you get the View Plus monitor (preloaded with 6 AA batteries), a usb cable, 3M tape and a quick start guide. To set up the device just pull out the battery tab and download the Airthings App. The display uses E Ink which is very easy to read. It is attractive and can be placed on any table or hung on the wall. The View Plus will analyze and record Radon, Co2, Voc, Particulate matter, Humidity and Temperature. The monitor will display 2 constant readings which are programable by the user. A wave of your hand will cause the View Plus to display the overall air quality and then update readings on the screen and show you which, if any, of the readings are high. It will also send a notification to your phone if it detects any high levels in any of the readings. The device can also be operated with a usb cable which also allows the View Plus to operate as a hub with other Airthings devices. Google and Alexa voice integration is available, however in actual use I find this to be worthless. The view Plus cannot be connected to Google Home, instead it is connected thru the Google Assistant. This means that evert time you must first ask Google to “Talk to Airthings”. Then after it connects to Airthings you can ask Google to tell you any of the readings on the device. It’s easier to just open the app and look at it. The Airthings app does a terrific job of providing full explanations of what each reading means, which levels should cause concern, and what are the possible causes and remedies. There is also support via email and chat. Overall, this is a high quality and necessary device. I highly recommend this to everyone.

Before I give my opinion about the View Plus from Airthings, it's that I have very bad hay fever. So being able to monitor the quality of the air inside plays a major role in my daily life. But it's the first time I can get a reading at home. The unit looks like a thermostat (and has a similar size). It comes well packaged and installation and setup is very easy. For wall mounting you can use either the 3M tape that comes with the device, or you can use screws (not included) to secure it a little better. The View Plus comes with a charging cable because - tada! - it runs on rechargeable batteries. This is very cool as you don't have to have a cord hanging from the wall to wherever the closest socket might be. Even without the app on my smart phone, I was able to change the display by a simple hand motion. If you add the app to the mix, that's when you start realizing the value of this smart little device. It will display the amount of Radon, Particles, Carbon dioxide, Humidity in the air, and also Temperature, Airborne chemicals and Pressure. There's a ton of info packed in there. You can look at diagrams and get help about the safe and unsafe amounts of pollution in the air. There is an initial calibration period for some of the sensors in order to obtain accurate readings. I have the View Plus connect to my Alexa and it works very well. So, bottom line: This is a fine product Airthings has come out with. I never knew I needed a View Plus until I had one. It doesn't prevent things from happening, but it's an excellent tool to warn you from atmospheric threats. I positively recommend it!

Being a data driven person, I really like using products that give me feedback, data to analyze, and running averages for the type of data like household air quality. Airthings has created a monitor that provides some really great features that aren't common, like radon gas monitoring, give smart features like a really easy to use and data centric app for both iOS and Android, and a solidly built, rechargeable monitor that will fit in any house decor. The monitor itself has a small screen that is what I believe to be e-ink, similar to the screen on a kindle, so it's very easy to read in a bright space, but takes some light in a dark room to read. It's configurable with various points of data, with two simultaneously showing. I have mine set to room temperature and the particulate matter reading, as I've found this information to be the most commonly useful. The remaining data, radon, humidity, barometric pressure, VOCs, and CO2 all are shown in the app, with running averages over the past 48 hours, week, month, and year for each. These have ranges of low, medium, and high levels color coded in the app to give you a nice visual indicator. It will also notify you with your set thresholds. Airthings suggests letting the monitor calibrate over a week to month, depending on what data point is discussed, and I am about 4 days into my calibration, but have loved seeing the continuous line of data it's providing for these air quality measures. It's really interesting to see how common household activities impact air quality. I took off one star to an otherwise 5-star experience so far because I think it would have been reasonable to add a CO monitor with data also, as this is a common concern with household air quality. I would definitely recommend this air monitor though. It's a really interesting way to keep track of your home's air quality.

Does a good job. It's very interesting to know what we're breathing in all day and night. It's also very stressful to know.

It works really well. I have an Alen air purifier as well. Both of them in the same room will show the same readings. I feel like this verifies the accuracy of the reading.

Gives consistent radon concentrations, particulate matter, co2…. Good to have baseline references for healthy living. Luckily our numbers are normal but it’s good to know!
