Love the particle monitor for indoor and outdoor plus the C02 monitor! We even carried it around the house slowly to find the window/wall leaks for how smoke was getting into our house during wildfire season. Taped up the problem areas and now our indoor AQI is even better during the fires. So grateful
i’ve been shopping for a monitor since the wildfires last year but couldn’t decide. after doing a lot more research this year, i finally decided on the IQ Air and i’m so glad i did. set up was simple and the interface is incredibly intuitive. i love that it gives the AQI forecast and tells me what the outdoor air quality in my area is like as well as letting me know what it’s like indoors. i also love that the app lets me see what the air quality is like indoors when i’m away (comes in handy when we forget to turn on the range hood). i would definitely it and am considering purchasing the outdoor monitor as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This monitor is certainly making waves in my home. I live with a brother who smokes next door to me and parents who like to cook (sauté/fry) food with olive oil. This last summer I stupidly baked a chicken breast for my doggie with coconut oil on top. That was a “the more you know” learning lesson. I think about the loving act of parents all over the world making breakfast for their family but unbeknownst to them are doing harm. I don’t like saying this. I want to make accurate statements here. I’ve shaken articles of clothing over the monitor to see it say they’re a hazard. My brother’s work shirts that our poor mother steams for him every morning register at 165 give or take. Always with no fail. I basically picture smokers these days as being on fire. It’s upsetting. I don’t like saying this but it seems appropriate as a darn descriptor. It’s upsetting to see him go out and smoke outside in poor weather. I imagine this is what it’s like to double down. I’ve taken this monitor to the gym with me only to find out that the air inside was (over a sample of time), consistently moderately polluted. This monitor is both an invaluable and valuable tool to invest in. I recommend it to anyone.

Easy to use, big display, but no Zapopan

This monitor is very useful. I bought it to monitor air in my house in Zapopan México. I really like it s lot; easy to use, large read-out, lots of places, inside and outside. The only negative is that when I wanted to select Zapopan, where I am, I didn't ser that as a choices, only áreas inside Guadalajara.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review.
Like most air quality monitors, the AirVisual Pro relies on a network of public outdoor monitoring stations. While the AirVisual Pro network is the world’s largest network with the most monitoring stations, it is still subject to any issues local stations may have. To help contribute to our growing network of monitoring stations, you can submit a request for your AirVisual Pro to become a public outdoor monitoring station.
If you need help with this, please give us a call at (888) 560-1020, M-F, 8AM – 4:30PM PST.
This air monitor does work well. You can really notice co2 go up when we cook (and forget exhaust) or when we have bad air days reminds us to keep windows closed. I am thinking of installing it outside next and become an official air monitoring station for the neighborhood.
The IQ AirVisual Pro is a big step up from similar price range competitors. It is a professional product with clear and quantifiable data, while other products I have tried seem to be for residential use or just checking in to generally see if air quality is "good" or "bad" or somewhere in between. With the AirVisual Pro I am creating a report that documents how the health of new housing my office is constructing out-performs other homes in our area, including those we have built in the past, when certain steps are taken and materials excluded. The data upload process is a little tricky, but mostly it's tricky to translate the data once you are in excel. The other big bonus of this device is that I can set it up in rural places, houses under construction and other locations without wifi and it still collects weeks of data that I can upload later for analysis. I couldn't find another similar device with that ability.
This air monitor was great to have during the recent fires when the air was so bad. It also shows CO2 levels which are supposed to be an indication of whether air is stagnant which means viruses (like Covid) hang around longer. And it measures humidity which is good to know if you are in an area where mold is common.
