Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Upon my initial observation of the box that this device was shipped in, I was kind of amazed at the quality of the packing and the device itself. I've been using this device for the past couple of days and am fairly impressed with the accuracy and sensitivity of the device. An absolute must for anyone with allergies, or if the household is getting sick for no apparent reason. I highly recommend you follow the directions, especially during the initial unpacking of the device. As recommended, you should leave the device outside in open air for at least 30-60 minutes before turning it on to allow all sensors to vent. Some sensors contain heating elements within it thats necessary for it to function. For best results, let everything air out before applying power. Once I got the device working, I was utilizing it to measure various areas. I took it to work to measure the air quality in one of the datacenter labs and had HCHO of 0.000, TVOC of 0.001, and PM2.5 of 000. The device pretty much provides real time stats because as I was working in the lab, every time I walked by the device, the readings changed very slightly (i.e. TVOC 0.001 increased to 0.005, PM2.5 went from 000 to 002, etc). Numbers all went back to zero after a few moments. This device is so sensitive, as I walked around my home, the measurements showed up in real time. When I walked into the hallway, readings dropped fairly low. Reason is we have a HEPA air filter in the hallway situated near the cat litter. This device is so sensitive, it can tell a difference when I drive down I-280 and I-101 with my windows down. Where I live, I-280 is a freeway completely surrounded by trees, whereas I-101 is mostly industrial. Readings are much lower when driving along I-280. See? Trees are very beneficial to help keeping our air clean! This device is so sensitive, it kinda makes going #2 fun. Because fecal matter releases VOCs due to the sulfurs, and many other chemicals used in your body for digestion, it will register a higher TVOC value on the device. Stinker the poop, higher the TVOC value! You or someone smokes? While smoking, run this device and see how detrimental smoking does to your air quality. Second hand smoke is no joke! Live in California like me? Take this device (rechargeable battery and portable, so convenient!) with you when you go outside to check your air quality due to the many wildfires going on in the state. Although this device will tell you your Air Quality Index (or AQI), it won't be able to do anything more than tell you. Very helpful to allow you to take extra measures to protect yourself (especially if you have asthma, such as myself). Because this device measures the separate AQI values in real time, use this device to check the effectiveness of your air purifier! Bought a new car? Take a reading with this device in your new car's interior. That new car smell, believe it or not, is the emissions of formaldehyde caused by glues and resins curing. Bought new furniture? Use this device to check the HCHO levels that new furniture has the potential of giving off. Most furniture is made of MDF, or particle board. Particle boards are bits of wood bonded by chemicals and glues that emit formaldehyde. What I thought could have made this product cooler: * Ability to save histograms when measurements is started. You have to be on the graphs page and leave it there to get historical graphs. If you leave the page and go back to it, you won't be able to view past measurements. * Ability for the device to save calibration data across power cycles. When you calibrate the device and zero it out, next time you power cycle the device the readings may be a bit different. * Ability to export results over time * Ability to change the user interface color schema This product is perfect for taking spot measurements to get a good idea of present environmental conditions. You won't be able to see past readings. I highly recommend getting this product!
