What is an air purifier? What is it for? Is it worth buying? This was my real thoughts when I first heard about products like air purifiers, and I was shy at the time. But as I've gotten older and more time onboard, I'm getting more and more interested in air purifiers.
Why is this thinking? Quite simply, the annual return to the south will make the whole rental house emit a bad smell of musty smell, and in the office, I often find a trace of fresh oxygen in the air full of carbon dioxide. At this time, I will think: if there is an air purifier, these problems can be solved.
However, there are many air purifier products on the market today, and if you do not carefully study it for half a day, you will not know whether it is practical or not, and it is not worth the price. With the mentality of trying it out, Xiao Lei got this 352 just released X66C air purifier, how is its experience in the end, and is it worth our start? I hope that after reading this article, you can get the answers you want.
Design style
When Xiao Lei took out the 352 X66C from the box, the first reaction was that the volume of this thing was much smaller than I imagined, and it was simply measured, and the footprint was basically equivalent to the size of an A4 paper, which could be placed in any corner without having to make room for it.
The overall color of X66C is gold + off-white, and the top air outlet part also uses gold color, making the whole machine look more textured. Xiao Lei personally still likes this color matching and styling, whether it is placed at home or in the office will not be too contrary.
In terms of styling, X66C adopts a more classic box design, which is more gentle in terms of visual and tactile. The overall height of the fuselage is 76.3cm, the width and height are 31cm, which is much "stronger" than another air purifier in the office, of course, this is also related to the strong configuration of the X66C, and the performance will be tested in detail later.
It is worth praising here that in order to allow users to move it better, the 352 X66C is very intimately installed with four pulleys at the bottom, which slide quite smoothly, after all, a 24-pound home appliance is difficult for even adult men to move easily.
The top of the 352 X66C is the air outlet and the operation panel, the operation is very user-friendly, you can use a one-button automatic operation, you can also open more modes according to user needs (such as sleep mode, increase or decrease air volume, etc.).
Considering that some users will put the air purifier in the bedroom, X66C is also intimately equipped with light buttons and sleep mode, users can choose a key to close the front panel and the top interactive area of the fuselage in the operation panel according to their needs, only keep the weak power indicator, and also easily understand whether the machine is still working.
The front of the fuselage has a large size display, which integrates PM2.5, HCHO (formaldehyde), TVOC (total exertion organic compound), temperature, humidity, working gear, network connection status and other information display. Among them, PM2.5, formaldehyde and TVOC display can be said to be just needed, humidity is frequent in the current rainy days is more emergency just needed, temperature is the function display required by many bedrooms.
A large number of sensors are placed on the back of the X66C, allowing the machine to detect this data in real time and quickly reflect it to the user through the front LCD screen.
There is a detachable back plate on the back of the product, just a light push and a press can be removed, after removing the back plate can see the internal structure of X66C: a fan and a huge size of the filter, usually the air purifier filter consumables are the factors that users will consider when purchasing, the official declaration that this filter element does not need to be replaced within a year, far beyond the national standard grade limit. I also actually tested it, after a full week of continuous opening, the filter life remains 97%, which is almost the same as the official advertised data, and can indeed greatly reduce the maintenance cost in the later stage.
From the perspective of the structure of the filter, X66C can perfectly remove smog, bacteria, viruses, hair, cat hair and other fine dust. For those who suffer from rhinitis, its presence can greatly reduce the number of rhinitis recurrences, after all, the induced conditions are much smaller.
(The picture shows the size comparison between the filter element and the iPhone 13 Pro Max)
In addition to antibacterial and antiviral, high-quality impregnated activated carbon can adsorb formaldehyde, toluene, TVOC and other pollution, and can decompose and remove the adsorbed formaldehyde, which is also our most concerned point. Having said all that, what was the actual experience of the X66C? Don't worry, this will give you more details.
Good air, it comes to guard
Before officially starting the test, I will briefly list the data of 352 X66C: the operating noise range is between 33 and 65 decibels, the formaldehyde CADR > 350m/h, the particulate matter CADR >580m, the maximum air volume of 600m/h, H13 filter paper, antibacterial coating, etc.
You can see that the X66C can meet almost all my needs for an air purifier, but the official data we look at, the actual performance depends on the specific test.
Purification test
First of all, the first scene is in the office, the area is about 40 square meters, the air does not circulate during the window closure, the central air conditioner at night will emit a little damp and musty smell, and every morning when you come in, you can smell a rather strong musty smell, which affects the mood. Occasional windows are opened for ventilation during work, but a lot of dust is generated near the road. There is also a classic air purifier model of a well-known brand in the office, and although it shows excellent air quality, the problems of damp musty smell and dust accumulation have not been solved.
So after using the 352 X66C, have these problems been improved? When the goods are received and the power is turned on, the air volume is adjusted to three gears, which is turned on during the day and night. When it came to the next day, although the moment of opening the door still smelled a little musty, it was much better than before, and even had a refreshing taste.
Of course, this is just my personal feelings, whether the specific improvement depends on the data, from the data chart we can see that after a full twelve hours, the PM2.5 index in the office "plummeted" from 19 to 2, and the air quality of the entire environment has improved significantly.
In order to further verify the purification ability of X66C, Xiao Lei took a cigarette as a test object, and before opening the air purifier, he could see that the air quality around Xiao Lei was rapidly declining, and the PM2.5 concentration rose rapidly, and after smoking a cigarette, the PM2.5 concentration had come to a rather terrifying 818. At this time, Xiao Lei opened the window for ventilation for a full ten minutes, and the air quality barely returned to about 80, but he could still smell the pungent smell of smoke.
Also after smoking a cigarette, the air quality rose to more than 900 again, when we opened the highest gear of X66C, and in just a few minutes, the PM2.5 index of the air around Xiaolei quickly dropped from more than 900 to less than 30. Through this test, we can see that the X66C has a high sensitivity to air quality perception and a very high purification efficiency.
Combined with my own actual experience during this period of time, the air quality of a room can be reduced from 75 to about 20, which can be completed in 3 to 5 minutes, and the completely pollution-free value of 0 will appear for several hours.
After several tests, I believe that everyone has a preliminary understanding of the purification ability of this product, but I believe that there are many users who are also very concerned about the noise size of X66C when running, so I also briefly tested the noise it produces at various levels.
Noise test
If the noise is too loud, it can easily affect our work and rest. For this reason, I chose to test it in a quiet environment after my colleagues left work. I placed the Apple Watch with a built-in decibel detector about 5 cm above the air outlet of the X66C, and after testing, I learned that the sound was 85 decibels at the highest five gears, and the wind could be clearly heard. However, we all understand that there is no need for such a high grade in daily use, and it is only possible to use the highest grade when there is an urgent need to purify the air.
In the case of the third and second gears, which are used more daily, the noise it produces is only 30 to 60 decibels, and it is almost impossible to detect that it is running. Therefore, we don't have to pay too much attention to the noise aspect, not to mention that X66C also gives a sleep mode, which can further reduce the sound generated by the purifier during operation.
APP operations
As a product of 2022, X66C also deserves to have its own APP, so that users can control it from a distance through their mobile phones. In the box, the manufacturer also prepared a quick guide piece of paper and a detailed product instruction manual, on the quick guide users can scan the QR code to quickly download the APP.
After entering the APP and binding the product, the status bar at the top of the main interface of the application will display the air information, temperature, humidity and wind direction of the current city, etc., and indicate the quality of the air in red, orange and green, at a glance.
The tab below is the device that has been added to 352Life, if you have more than one 352 device, it will also be presented in turn, the tab area displays the model name of the current device and the information of indoor PM2.5 and formaldehyde, and there is a power shortcut key in the upper right corner.
Click on the card to enter the management interface of the corresponding device, the top is still graphically visualized to indicate the quality of the current outdoor air, and the middle part shows the current indoor air quality, the air volume of the purifier, PM2.5 and the detection data of TOVC. Four shortcut function buttons are arranged at the bottom of the interface, which are switches, mode options, airflow options, and light control.
Swipe up to open the filter detection interface, which will graphically display the remaining situation of the left and right filter elements. The real-time changes in indoor and outdoor air data will also be displayed in the form of a line chart below, and click More to select the air quality in year, month and day.
In the setting menu, there are also children's lock, sensor always on, intelligent sensor mode, timing settings and other functions, here focus on sharing the wisdom mode. In the settings, you can see that the intellect mode belongs to a simple programmatic setting, i.e. "If... For example, when PM2.5 is above 35, it is turned on, and PM2.5 is turned off below 35. This also has a role in saving electricity.
summary:
Back to the question at the beginning of the article, is it really necessary to buy an air purifier, the answer is of course yes. After all, formaldehyde is something we can't see or touch, although some formaldehyde and other air impurities can be removed by opening the window ventilation, but there will be an influx of air pollution when opening the window, and when opening the air conditioner and heating, the window must also be closed. When ventilation is inconvenient, the long-term closed room will begin to accumulate formaldehyde, which undoubtedly planted a health bomb for us.
The 352 X66C air purifier can quickly reduce the formaldehyde concentration in a small space and continue to purify, when we have to choose to close the window, it is our best air health guardian.
In addition, as an air purifier positioned in the home, the 352 X66C has satisfactory purification efficiency and purification effect, and the noise and power consumption control is also quite excellent. Whether it's in your home, office, or classroom, it maximizes the air quality in your room, and if you care about it as much as I do, it's not to be missed.
