Smartmi Air Purifier 2

The Verdict.

7.8/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

The Smartmi Air Purifier 2 is the one to get if you want smart home integration without smart home prices. Native HomeKit support is rare at this price — most competitors require custom apps or cloud workarounds. The HEPA H13 filter is genuine, the PM2.5 sensor is responsive, and the design is clean enough for a living room. It covers smaller rooms (up to 484 sq ft) but does so quietly and efficiently.
