The Xiaomi 4 Compact doesn’t show specific values, only whether the air quality is good, bad, or best. However, the Xiaomi Mi 3H displays PM2.5 particulate matter in real time and also indicates if the air quality is good, bad, or best.

You have to press and hold the filter reset button for at least 3 seconds.

Hi, thanks for your comment!

I bought the Philips 600i air purifier a month ago, and I’m in the process of testing it. I’ll publish the review in the coming weeks. Also, I will compare these two models you are talking about in the following months.

You are right about the differences between these two Philips air purifiers.
It’s true that the Philips 600i has a lower CADR than the 800 model, but the difference isn’t significant. If one of your main goals is to save on energy bills, you could achieve some savings by choosing the Philips 600i air purifier. However, the difference is minor and only amounts to a few cents.

Additionally, if gas and odor neutralization are among your main concerns, I would recommend skipping the Philips 600i and getting the Philips 800 instead. Because, as you already said, it has an activated carbon filter.

Hope this helps!

You’re a fantastic researcher and did a great job comparing these two air purifiers!

I would strongly recommend placing it at least 2-5 feet away from the gas fireplace to avoid interference with airflow and to prevent overheating.

I am in the process of buying my first-ever air purifier and have looked at some Levoit and Philips devices. Philips looks more appealing to me, and the two brands I am looking at are the 600 and 800. The room in which I am using it is only 8SQM, so I do not need a powerful one.

The main difference I am seeing is that the 600 uses only 12W compared to the 800’s 20W. 600 also has a medium manual speed setting along with the sleep and turbo, but 800 only has sleep and turbo. The 600 does not have carbon filters, though (I have contacted Philips regarding the possibility of selling them in the future).

I just want to ask because I am very much an energy-saving type of person, and I will probably be using it 24 hours a day. Will I likely be saving more money in the long term if I get the 600? As I understand, the auto mode on these devices will scan the room and switch to sleep whenever it needs to, so I’m assuming the 800 will clean the room quicker than the 600 and remain in sleep for longer? But the 600 will probably stay on for longer because it has a lower CADR.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m sure you won’t go wrong with the Levoit Vital 200S.

I wouldn’t use that many Clarifions in my home, as these devices produce ozone. Instead, I would opt for traditional air purifiers. For the price of five Clarifion air ionizers, you could get one or two decent air purifiers.

I didn’t know that, but I will definitely contact Winix to confirm this information. Thanks!
