Today we're reviewing the Aranet4 Home which might just be the best portable home air quality monitor. As of this filming, this is the gold-standard in our studio for monitoring the CO2 and air quality. It can track the CO2, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, all in a tiny device that runs on 2 AA batteries. It features a super nice e-ink display which I was skeptical of at first, but turns out this is one of the best things about this device. The fact that the viewing angles are flawless, and it doesn't shine any light, and the fact that this thing can run for up to 7 years on 2 AA lithium batteries is CRAZY! That e-ink display is one of the reasons it can last for so long on just 2 batteries. Big thank you and shoutout to Aranet for sending this Aranet4 device out free for review!

The perfect companion for indoor environments allowing you to monitor CO2 levels, temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure
Tired and can’t concentrate?
Ever feel tired and drowsy in a room? Can’t focus and head feels heavy? Your air quality might be to blame. Namely, the CO2 level.
High CO2 levels decrease productivity
According to Harvard research, high CO2 levels can decrease your productivity, cognitive abilities and general wellbeing. For example, if the CO2 concentration in the room exceeds 1000 parts per million, your cognitive function decreases by 15%. Worse yet, if CO2 levels reach 1400 ppm, your cognitive abilities drop by a staggering 50%.
CO2 level as a proxy for ventilation quality
Monitoring CO2 in public spaces helps to encourage proper ventilation. CO2 is a gas produced when we exhale. So, the higher CO2 in the room, the more you’re breathing air that someone else has already exhaled. Therefore, monitoring CO2 levels provides warnings about the air quality deteriorating.
High accuracy
The non-dispersive infrared sensor (NDIR) inside Aranet4 ensures high precision measurements

I’m very pleased with mine - it does exactly what it’s supposed to. I did all of my “research” within the first couple of days. The only real surprise for me was the buildup in the car; I’m not using “recirculate” anymore! It was fun the first couple of days blaming any spike in the CO2 levels on the wife’s incessant talking ! - but it didn’t take her long to realize that simply breathing causes the same thing …

I just bought one of these and at first felt a little ripped off with how cheap it felt out of the box considering the high price. After setting it up and using it though, it's simple and works flawlessly at everything it's supposed to do. I also like how they just sell you a good product + app that works without the BS of trying to get you to subscribe to something, pay to unlock features, or constantly displaying ads trying to sell you more of their crap.

Idk, I tried the Aranet4 a few weeks ago and compared it with Airthings View Plus, and the Airthings was higher, like 100 to 250+. Lately though, in the last few weeks, the Airthings is like 20 over or 20 under or spot on. I wonder if Airthings did an update because that's a drastic change.

@Slimothy 6 ай бұрын

Yeah Airthings always drops like a rock, eventually will be way off within a couple more weeks. Not good. I usually calibrate them "aka setting them outside for 30 mins" once a month to keep them relatively accurate. Otherwise they're way off.

Have you tried it Against Airthings View Plus?

@Slimothy 7 ай бұрын

Yup. I have mine sitting next to my Airthings View Plus everyday now. The Aranet is wayyy more accurate for CO2 only because the Airthings you have to calibrate it every 2 weeks which is insanely annoying. Aka you have to take it outside for 10-20 mins every 2 weeks. Aranet, I always bring with it but it never needs it. It stays calibrated somehow. It's awesome. I might try going extended time without calibrating the Aranet to see how long it can go.

@arielrodriguez6980 7 ай бұрын

@@Slimothy Airthings needs to go outside once a week for calibration? I thought it auto calibrates the CO2 and VOC in 7 days.

@Slimothy 7 ай бұрын

@@arielrodriguez6980 That’s different. That’s calibrating to your air on initial setup. But then it falls out of calibration every 2 weeks. It gets 100-200 low. So I have to calibrate it manually. You can read about it if you look up their manual

@arielrodriguez6980 7 ай бұрын

@@Slimothy That is correct. I called the co and they said what you said to take it outside weekly. I have the A4 now and it is nice that it is portable. I may keep it or return it. I figure suppose the Airthings is off by 100-300 when it displays 800 I can see it as it really is 900-1100.

@Slimothy 7 ай бұрын

@@arielrodriguez6980 It drifts. So I guess if you just want an estimate, that would be ok? I don’t trust it though that’s why I check my Aranet4 instead. I also have the new INKBIRD device which I believe uses the same sensor as the Aranet4. But I believe it’s owned by a Chinese company instead of European like Aranet4 so that will likely turn a lot of people off. But I’ll have a review of the INKBIRD up within a month. Slightly cheaper. I love the Aranet4 though. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have bought my own!

@@MaxCaud Perhaps, there’s a lot of things I’d like for $200. But I can tell you whatever magic they put into these devices makes them the most accurate CO2 sensors we’ve tested. I actually bought another one with my own money from Amazon just to make sure Aranet didn’t give me a juiced up version. They both are so accurate. All of my other CO2 monitors fall out of calibration every 2 weeks or so. These do not. It’s fantastic.
