The issue of air has become a hot topic. In fact, when the temperature is high, this problem seems to have been lessened. Because fog and haze are mostly in the winter and when the temperature is colder. This also caused many people to misunderstand that it would be used as a summer fan. In fact, in many cases, it is recommended to use, for example, a house that is not very airy, a house that hasn't been renovated for a long time, a member of the family who has a cold and other respiratory diseases, and home-breeding pets. The most effective role of air purifier:
1. Particles exceeding standards, such as: PM2.5 , sensitized pollen, bacteria, pet shedding, etc.;
2. Volatile organics exceed the standard, such as: formaldehyde, odor (smoke, odor) and so on.
At present, there are many air purifiers on the market, and there are three types of air purifiers that are classified according to the specific working principle: First, electrostatic adsorption; second, mechanical (filter type); and third, the combination of the two. Electrostatic and industrial electrostatic precipitators remove particles from the electric field in a space by strengthening the electric field, and are attracted to the filter. However, the electrostatic type has the disadvantage that it cannot filter organic substances exceeding the standard, and there is an increase in indoor ozone. risks of. The mechanical type is through the work of the fan, so that particles are adsorbed on the filter, of course, particulate matter reaches the PM2.5 standard, which means that the mesh of the filter should be finer and thicker, which are all requirements for improving the purification effect. However, because the air volume also means that it is very high, it is necessary to increase the speed of the fan, which also means an increase in noise. Therefore, a good air purifier needs a balance between the adsorption effect and the fan power.
This time, I was fortunate enough to apply for a LifeSmart air purifier from Coolplus . This air purifier belongs to the standard mechanical type. Next, what is the actual effect of this air purifier?
Unpacking
This box is not very eye-catching, and courier chefs should be very careful, in addition to a somewhat worn-out appearance, basically still intact. Of course, the most dazzling sticker that has been long overdue.
Unpacking, the first thing I saw was actually an envelope, "Your family's first smart air purifier".
The LifeSmart air purifier has a very high face value, a white body, and a triangular arc tower shape, which is very artistic. The entire volume is not too small, too small, and the purifying effect is not obvious. Too large volume will occupy a lot of space for families whose living area is not very large, and the size of this air purifier is still very suitable for home use. , especially for economical households.
Before using it officially, remember to remove the protective stickers on both sides. On the front of the camera, there is a circular touch operation screen. Before use, there will be a description of each area of ​​the touch screen. Of course, it must be remembered before use.
Here we take a look at the key part of the empty net, filter element. A good air purifier, filter is still very critical, it can be said that the key to determine the quality of products. LifeSmart air purifier adopts the bottom installation mode. Unscrew the bottom black cover to see the inside air purifier. The new machine filter will have a layer of OPP bag and can see a blue HEPA air filter after removal. .
LifeSmart uses a Japanese Apollo filter for air purification. From the information available on the Internet, many domestic air purifier brands use this brand of filter elements. The screen is also a leader in the industry Apollo, it belongs to the top of the HEPA filter supplier, but the filter is not used in the top, but the level H11 HEPA filter, the filter efficiency of 0.3 micron was 99.3%, but It is indeed higher than the market level of 3,000 yuan.
In addition to the air intake, the bottom cover just opened has three pads designed to slide the product and play a very good anti-slip effect.
The power cord jack is designed to be at the bottom. After the power cord is plugged in, it is just flush with the floor, and because the design is relatively low, it will not affect the beauty. Under the plug-in test, the tightness is just right.
The most technically sensible part should be the touch panel's operation panel, especially when it is lit, and it is more scientific and technological sense. In addition to operating the air purifier, the entire display can also display the PM2.5 index, humidity and temperature. The structure of the entire dashboard shows the air position on the left and the data on the cleanliness of the filter on the right.
The sensitivity of the touch screen is designed to be very good, and the machine can be controlled with a touch. Unfortunately, the child lock function was not found, and because the mute function did a better job, it was discovered that the empty net was opened for two days.
This is an introduction from the official configuration. First of all, this product is manufactured by Foxconn, and the quality of workmanship naturally goes without saying. Looking at these configurations, each accessory is a brand supply. Can only say that it is full of compulsion.
Noise and power consumption detection
In fact, any product in the home, especially air conditioners, purifiers, etc., may be used in bedroom home appliances, all have high requirements for quiet. First look at this picture, the amount of decibels in various environments. Or another data comparison:
160 dB: human hearing limit
120 decibels: aircraft take-off noise
110 db: Kara OK
100 dB: Train passing noise
90 decibels: lively square
70 dB: factory workshop
50 dB: Talk
30 decibels: typewriter
10 decibels: Park in Jingyuan
Before the purifier was turned on, the indoor noise detection showed 40.5 dB, which is basically consistent with the above description.
Through the touch screen control, there are a total of four stalls, sleep, first gear, second gear and third gear. In fact, there are five stalls, there is an automatic transmission, not enough automatic transmission is based on indoor PM2.5 data automatically shift, just switch in these four stalls.
This data test is about 30 meters square in the living room, decibel meter about a meter away from the machine test data. The difference between sleep and first gear data is not large, only the regular 4-5 dB increase. Below the second level, it is basically kept below 50 decibels, which should be relatively acceptable to most people. On the other hand, when the third gear is close to 60 decibels, the noise may be louder when it is turned on, and it stays around 60 decibels after it is stable. This will cause people to feel uncomfortable after listening for a long time. Especially when sleeping at night, the third gear cannot sleep at all.
What is the power consumption of each gear in this machine? This is the power consumption displayed in each gear. Through the conversion, the highest power consumption is 0.08 kWh per hour, while the lowest power consumption is 0.015 kWh per hour, and the power consumption is still very small, which is much less than that of the one-night air conditioner.
What about the actual air purification effect? Because there is no professional air testing equipment, it can only be viewed from the built-in air detection data. The data of PM2.5 will increase as soon as it is turned on because the surrounding air is sucked into the purifier and the air is sucked in. As the volume increases, the higher the PM2.5 data is detected, and because the indoor air is in the flow, this data will fluctuate. But after half an hour PM2.5 data can be maintained between 8-10 . The speed of purification is about half an hour.
Mobile APP use
When it comes to LifeSmart, in fact, LEO used his home capsule light bulbs a year ago, and not only light bulbs, but also smart centers, switches, sensors, smart cameras and sockets, etc., and more smart devices in the future will be Access. In fact, when a lot of "smart hardware" is applied to APP , different products will have an APP. When the number of smart devices in the home increases, the number of apps not only occupies the memory of the smart phone, but also increases the trouble. . But LifeSmart uses an app to control all home appliances. It only shows the true meaning of “smartâ€.
If you haven't used LifeSmart 's product before, you need to register an account, but if you really don't want to register, you can use local mode. Just the local mode is similar to the account login control, that is, the login account can be controlled in other places and other wifi environments. Then find the air purifier to add in the app .
The next step is to configure the network. This requires you to see the tips of the mobile phone APP , because it is not possible to configure the device successfully. The correct step is to long press the power button, long press the machine panel 'intelligent mode button ' for 3 seconds, hear three "drops" after entering the 90 countdown configuration network. The entire configuration process takes about half a minute.
After the configuration is successful, you will enter the homepage of the APP and you will see the added devices added. Note here that clicking the icon is a direct switch operation, and clicking the blank area around the icon will allow you to see a more detailed operation interface and data display interface. Of course if your home has more than one air purifier, you can see the product information in the upper right corner and change the name you want to identify.

Use tips
Because it is a mechanical air purifier, the filter cartridge has a certain service life. Under normal circumstances, such a filter cartridge needs to be replaced in about one year. However, through the Tmall official website search, the air filter is not yet on the line, so the follow-up maintenance costs are currently unknown, I hope the filter cartridge will go online and give a relatively favorable price.
Using an air purifier, it is recommended that the distance from the left and right walls is about 20cm , so that the suction will be more even and the bottom.
There are many small buddies who prefer to have a humidifier in the room, but if an air purifier is used, it is not recommended to use a humidifier. Because it is easy to inhale excessive moisture into the filter element of the purifier, it is easy to cause bacterial growth and mildew. If you really want to use, it is recommended that the humidifier be placed farther away, and the lowest gear should be opened. The fog should be as small as possible.

to sum up
The first place LifeSmart air purifiers are commendable is appearance, and there is silence control, especially the quiet aspect that many similar products cannot achieve. The downside is that children are not designed to lock and it is easy for children to touch. There is also an outlet because it is designed upwards, children easily insert foreign objects such as coins, if there is better protection measures may be better. Of course, there is an air purification filter that is required for on-line maintenance as soon as possible, and allows users to understand how the subsequent maintenance costs. Although not perfect, the cost performance is good, especially the entire smart home system built by LifeSmart is also a major attraction.
