The new Wyze Air Purifier offers quiet, efficient filtration

Wyze has announced a new air purifier with three different filter options. You can choose which filter you want at purchase, but the other filters can be purchased at a later date and swapped out on the fly as needed.

The Wyze Air Purifier filter options include the Allergen (Standard) filter, the Formaldehyde (Premium) filter, and the Wildfire filter. It utilizes a true HEPA filter for 99.97% efficiency in eliminating harmful, airborne particles such as dander, pollen, and even smoke. The purifier has enough power to clean a 500-square-foot room up to three times an hour, and it’s not too loud even on the highest setting. The sound ranges from 21 decibels in its sleep mode to 54 decibels on its highest level — roughly the same volume as a refrigerator’s hum.

The Wyze Air Purifier provides real-time updates on air quality through the use of a high-precision laser sensor. It measures the air 100 times per second for particles as small as 0.3 microns in size and automatically adjusts the filtration level to compensate.

Of course, not all control is automatic. The Wyze Air Purifier connects to your phone through the Wyze app for easy control. Adjust the speed to your own preferences.

The Wyze Air Purifier is available for purchase today and will begin shipping immediately. Wyze is offering a special launch price of $130 for the Air Purifier with Allergen filter, $135 for the Air Purifier with Wildfire Filter, and $155 for the Air Purifier with Formaldehyde Filter. The price increases to $170, $175, and $195 plus shipping, respectively, once the launch window ends. Replacement filters will cost $35, $40, or $60 plus shipping, although if you subscribe to Wyze’s auto-replace service, you can net a discount of 12%.

With spring in full bloom across many parts of the country, your indoor air quality is more important than ever. An air purifier can lessen the impact of allergies and pet dander, and indoor air quality has even been shown to have an impact on cognitive performance.

Ecovacs reveals robot vacuum with new technology ideal for carpeted homes
The Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni in a home.

Ecovacs just launched the Deebot X8 Pro Omni in February, which we found to be an excellent choice for hard floors -- thanks to its innovative roller mop that tackles all sorts of spills with ease. For March, it looks like the focus is on carpets, with the newly launched Ecovacs Deebot T50 Max Pro Omni incorporating new technology designed to better extract debris from plush floors.

The Ecovacs T50 Max Pro Omni is the first Ecovacs product to use BLAST Technology. An acronym for Boosted Large-Airflow Suction Technology, the new system uses both suction and optimized airflow to better pull debris, dust, and pet hair from deep within carpet fibers. Using a high-toque 100W motor, Ecovacs says the robot can achieve a 50% higher discharge current while generating 50% less heat than traditional robot vacuums. In other words, it's built to have a longer lifespan while also providing you with a superior carpet cleaning experience.
