16-in-1 Indoor Air Quality Monitor with PM1.0,PM2.5,PM10,CO2,HCHO,TVOC,Temperature,Humidity,Time Display &7 AQI Alarms – Professional Air Quality Tester for Home, Office & Indoor Use (Lake Blue)

Fonctionne bien

I live in a high automobile, traffic area and wanted to know what the air quality was inside my home. This is an easy to use monitor and gives good information about air quality.

I don’t write these often (maybe I should), but I had a Temptop handheld sensor that I gave away to one of my kids, and saw this product and decided to purchase (cool design). I began to get strange fluctuations throughout the day in a space that didn’t have high CO2; they are mostly related to CO2. At my office, when the cleaning people came by, the CO2 levels went crazy so I started to think something was off - I did a little research and found out that some products like this one can have cheap CO2 sensors that confuse VOCs with CO2. A few minutes ago, the space I was in had a high 400s PPM CO2 reading (consistent at night when nobody is in the building). So, I grabbed this bottle of Essential Oil and opened it next to the sensor, and within 15 seconds, it went from the high 400s PPM to the 2,479 shown in the picture. Yup! Cheap CO2 sensor - I gave it a 1-star rating because CO2 is one of the most important readings, and I can’t trust it anymore, so it’s no longer useful, and I have no way of confirming the particulate counts. I think people need to know this before they go crazy trying to vent their spaces. I hope this helps - #frustrated, but a lesson learned.

I bought this because I'm having breathing issues from the air quality in my apartment. It came with a sheet of what and where all the buttons are but no details on the abreviations, what they stand for or how to detect a problem. I had to use Google AI to help me understand what it was and how it worked. Here is a brief rundown of what it taught me. The AK23 detects the size of particles, but it can't tell you what those particles are. It may show a spike in the PM10 (pollen/spores) or TVOC,s if there is a massive mold bloom, but it cannot detect Mycotoxins (toxic chemicals released by certain molds). The TVOC (total volatile organic compounds) is a "bucket" sensor. It tells you that something is in the air, but not what it is. It can't distinguish between a "safe" smell like an orange peel and a "toxic" smell like benzene. The AK23 only checks air chemistry, it does not measure EMF or RF (radio frequency). It also does not measure carbon monoxide, it measures carbon dioxide. The AK23 Monitor is limited by measuring only "total" chemicals (TVOC). It would be better to find monitors with higher accuracy that can detect for radon or carbon monoxide, as those would require another monitor. (Gemini Recommends using a monitor that provides detailed historical data via a user-friendly app, it mentioned some but I can't say here......do some research) For certain pollutants that the AK23 cannot detect (like specific mold species or heavy metals) you will need a carbon monoxide detector. You can get a baseline reading from the monitor by putting it outside for 5-10 minutes then write the results down and compare those results to the results you get from each room in your home. But then, there is no way to tell what is causing the spikes in any of the readings. Aside of keeping track of the readings from each room and comparing them to my baseline, because of the 12 hour battery life, I keep mine plugged in and charging, not sure if that's a good idea or not. Most likely will be returning. The air quality in my apartment building has caused me several neurological problems, this was my first step to finding out why, but it really can't tell me what the problem is. My advice, spend more money and get a monitor with higher accuracy so you know exacly what's floating around in your air. "You get what you pay for"
