For quite a while, the air quality monitors that have interested me the most have been portable devices. Not just because I think they can often be more useful but also because it feels like they’re much rarer than their indoor and outdoor mounted counterparts. Off the top of my head, I could probably barely name five portable (consumer-grade) air quality monitors. On the other hand, I am sure I could quickly list 50 indoor and outdoor air quality monitors. Anyway, before I get too off-topic, this explains my excitement when Temtop recently reached out asking me to review another…
Hi, thanks for review, amazing website. Just small addition/remark about using it as portable device. You mentioned, that “This slow updating means that while it can be a portable monitor, it is only really portable in that you can take it with you to work or school and sit it on a desk to monitor the quality of the air you breathe.”
I think that actually, that device is still very good as portable, because, you can trigger instant measurements, by pressing that “gear” button, which will make the device to switch the measurements mode (eco/auto.).
That will trigger device to measure pm2.5 and other values on request. So, when i need to measure current air conditions, i just push that button two times. By that, it will do the readings instantly and switch back to previous measurements mode.
Thanks!
