I love the idea of this product especially with an affordable price, however this product has a few areas of improvement and the Cons of this product practically makes it worthless for its full intended use. I've been using this product for a few months so I have enough experience with it to know it's functions, how they are affected, and it's potential. The potential essentially comes down to putting in Quality Parts instead of ones that kinda of work part of the time or show inaccuracies.
I have a Medical Grade Air Purifier by Medify that is 3' feet away from the Product as well. My room is a 10x10x10.
I have sinus issues and Chronic Headaches so I purchased this product to find out what is wrong, hoping I'd find an answer in Air Quality or not.
If the Quality and Cons list improves, I would definitely recommend this product. The idea is convenient and practical, I would fully support it after improvements have been made. This 9 in 1 design and various sensors makes more sense then other products I've seen, So I prefer this type of setup. The product hasn't quite made it there yet.
Pros;
- Having all the good sensors to monitor the area for Air Quality along with the time and battery life Indicators.
- Nice color and easy to read Design and AQI indication even at night, Organized information into their seperate Squares. Screen Brightness was good enough to read with light on.
- USB rechargeable
-Temperature, humidity levels, and Carbon Dioxide sensors are fairly accurate I think. Breathing next to it increases Co2 levels, so that's good.
- PM2.5 + PM10 seem accurate, even though they dislay it's under 20 all the time I have dust accumulated after a week or two.. probably normal with that data, I don't know.
- A Chart underneath shares Healthy and Unhealthy levels of each sensor attached.
Cons;
- (The Big One) Product resets itself every 11 hours, even when charging, So the time and Calibrated TVOC/HCHO is reset every time and shows incorrect data, even when the product is plugged in 24/7 and nothing in the room has changed from daily routine. Product is of questionable quality and accuracy from sensors because the lack of information available to determine whether this product fits our needs over other products.
- Battery life lasts for 24 hours when unplugged, resets after battery dies. 3000 mah Battery life means practically nothing if only lasts 24hours.
- In my photo, it displayed 6.5 TVOC, unsure why, haven't done anything different, after an hour it's now at 3.6, Door/Window are closed.
Other improvements;
- Longer Battery life, like at least a week, before being charged.
- No automatic Reset, perhaps a changeable 2032 battery to keep Calibrations and time in memory
- Quality sensors that are Accurate, Standing up to professional Grade Devices, Though I haven't compared How inaccurate these sensors are compared to professional tools. All know is that they go up and down gradually for the most part, occasionally changing in large amounts for no apparent reason. PM sensors rarely read over 20..
- Staying competitive with the Price, and at least sharing detailed information about the type of sensors used, example: Model Numbers & Chipsets, so we know the quality components were getting when we purchase.

It's so decorative! It does everything it was said to do. It's easy to read from a distance. I love it! We plan to order more.

Over the years I have replaced windows and sealed up my house to make it more energy efficient. It also made the carbon dioxide and other levels go up. For the price of having a HVAC expert come in and monitor for a week I was able to purchase this unit and monitor myself. Now I know if I need to open some windows or run some fans.

I had an odd small in my home so I bought this to see if I could narrow it down. I'm disappointed it does not measure natural gas but it does measure many other air quality aspects.

I inadvertently purchased two air purifiers for different rooms in my home that didn't have built-in Air Quality Indicators. Without an AQI, how could I tell if the purifiers were working? I did much research and decided on the AirKnight. I needed it to be easy to use and dependable. Well, it's that and more. It detects the level of particulates in the air, the humidity level, the CO2 level, and formaldehyde levels of the room it's in. It's portable and easy to read on an LCD screen. It's a comfort knowing the status of contaminants in the air and since AQI's can cost up to several hundred dollars, the AirKnight easily fit my budget.

This is an exceptional product from its packaging to its COMPLETE EASE to set up and use!
I had one issue with a beeping noise but I contact the seller and the immediately contacted me back and informed me if any of the settings start rise above normal air quality it will alert you and also you can immediately look at the manual enclosed to see solutions to help you keep your air quality safe! And the solution that was given worked perfectly!
Once again excellent product… excellent customer service and made in the USA!

Nice air monitor. Clock doesn't work though! Stays stuck at the time you set. Nevertheless, great air monitor.

I purchased an Awair Element about a year ago, but have bought some new furniture recently and was worried about it gassing off formaldehyde as I have heard that's common with new furniture. So, I gave the AirKnight a try. To be fair, we like our Awair, but I wish I would have bought an AirKnight in the first place because, when comparing readings from the Awair vs. the AirKnight, they are very closely correlated. The main differences in terms of readings are that the AirKnight one also gives an HCHO reading and PM10 vs. PM2.5 breakout. The AirKnight big screen makes it all really easy to quickly read too. And it's a way cheaper than the Awair Element.

Turned stove on to bake chicken, thirty minutes later I wasn't feeling well. My husband noticed that the air knight picked up on high co 2 levels. I have not been feeling well every time I used this stove for the last five years. I was never sure why. I thought it was just me. Comes to find out our stove has been producing large amounts of CO2, everytime we use it. This device has been such a life saver, because honestly I was at my wits end, trying to figure out why me and my family would get so sick and it was only when stove was in use. Would buy again and strongly advise others to buy.

I followed all of the (very easy) directions in both the booklet & the video. The screen stays lit as long as I keep my finger on the power button. As soon as I remove my finger, the screen goes black & stays that way. I'm sending the item back.

Product came beautifully packaged and was ready to go right out of the box. No need to charge or connect an app. Just hit the power button and it gets to work reading your air quality. It’s also small enough to fit anywhere or travel along with you. I plan to use it in my camper to ensure good air quality in such a small space.
Unlike many products, the included guide was actually in clear English and very helpful. The guide includes descriptions, possible causes for high readings, and improvements for each harmful thing that is being tracked in the air. It’s pretty incredible how much this little box (and the guide) will tell you about what you’re breathing. Recommended if you’re looking for a great, clearly American made product to help you breathe easier.

Device works good. Gives readings for any area within a few minutes. Also comes with instructions on how to solve the problem.

Dealing with allergies is such a pain, so decided to get air purifiers in the house. They work well, but my purifiers don’t give a clear indication as to when the filters need to be replaced. This air quality monitor is able to pick up when the air quality is dipping, so now I have an easy trigger to remind me to replace my air purifiers’ filters. This monitor seems to know before my allergies do, so I’m able to respond before my quality of life is disrupted.
This monitor is great and high quality. The packaging is nice, it’s like opening an Apple product. The included guide gives a clear explanation of what each feature on the display means, and how to interpret the numbers. Compact size makes it easy to move from room to room to make sure your entire home has clean air.
Very happy with my purchase, would definitely recommend.

The AirKnight is a great deal. I don’t normally leave reviews but this product demands it, especially considering I paid 3x for an Awair Element a few months ago and the AirKnight beats it in every category. See attached pic, it speaks for itself. Measurements are provided in an easy to read display which shows the actual levels of each air quality category. The AirKnight also includes formaldehyde HCHO (common in new furniture) and separate readouts for PM2.5 and PM10 (Awair does not).
As far as accuracy goes, each device picks up the same changes in air quality but the AirKnight provides specific readings on the display (Awair shows dots and aggregate score, which is pointless by the way). The AirKnight updates FASTER at about every second and the element every 20 seconds or so.
The AirKnight is easy to set up…just plug it in. I am the type of guy that will pay more for quality, but in this case, I think I got suckered into paying for Awair’s marketing campaign. Don’t be fooled. Buy an AirKnight.

This is a perfect monitor for us. We have multiple natural gas appliances and fireplace. Compact size, easy to read display and portable, very happy with this purchase.

I chose the AirKnight not knowing exactly what I would receive. But everything about this product is extremely professional and top-notch. It has a very modern and stylish look, super clear screen, and very helpful instructional videos and user manual. You can tell it's a high-quality air quality monitor. I am definitely happy with my choice.
Chris Holscher
I live in California where we have wild fires and it gives me peace of mind that I will know the air quality for our family. I will say the light panel on the Airknight is very nice, I was kind of shocked on how good it looked.

Glad to have one in my home during the winter wood burning season. Very easy to read, even in the bright daylight. I recommend.
