The Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2s can be said to be an upgrade of the Mi Air Purifier 2, it isn’t superior to the Mi Air Purifier Pro, but it adds some of the features of the Pro version.
The product retains Mi air purifier 2 filter and with a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) value of310m³/h, added Pro version features like laser particle sensor and OLED display that enable to shows real-time PM2.5 values. Compared with infrared Sensors features in its predecessor, Xiaomi air purifier 2s version improved a lot on detection accuracy, besides showing PM2.5 values, it can also detect particles as small as 0.3μm in size.
The most significant difference between this two model is 2s version added an OLED display, while at the same time other features have also been greatly upgraded. The OLED accurately shows atmospheric particulate matter (PM) that have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres, which is about 3% the diameter of a human hair (PM2.5 concentration) as well as temperature and humidity. It also comes with a WIFi connection and the work patterns so that you’ll be abreast with changes in the air quality. It has a laser sensor which assists in the accurate detection of particles as small as 0.3μm in size.
In addition, the Xiaomi Air Purifier 2s comes with a built-in light sensor that can automatically sense the ambient light changes in order to automatically adjust the screen brightness accordingly. This ensures the light doesn’t stay too bright at night so as not to disturb your sleep. Further, you get a device with a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) value of 310m³ / h and can cover a room the size of between 21-32 square metres. This is quite lower than that of the second-gen Mi Purifier 2 and Mi Purifier Pro. For clarity, the Purifier 2 has a CADR of 406m3/h and can cover a working area of 48 square metres while the Pro version has a 500m3/h CADR and is also capable of covering an indoor area of 60 square meters.
The Air Purifier 2s also features a more refined three-layer filter that can pick up particles like allergens, animal fur, formaldehyde, dust, pollen and cigarette smoke from the air. The new product also added RFID smart filter identification, simplifying the cumbersome routine reset operation.
Xiaomi Air Purifier 3
In August 2019, Xiaomi released the new air purifier 3 in the same volume as 2 and 2s, it is an upgrade of 2s, and if compared with the 2s, the CADR value increased to 400m/h, PM2.5 purification capacity increased by 29%.
Mijia Air Purifier 3 is also jointly developed by Mijia and Jimi Technology and has been further iterated and optimized on the basis of previous generations of products. Mijia Air Purifier 3 continues the previous generation of product circular OLED display screen design, can provide indoor air data (temperature, humidity, real-time PM2.5 values), purifier operation status, network connection status and other information. The difference is that the Mijia Air Purifier 3 integrates the keys originally at the top of the fuselage into the OLED display, surrounded by a three-color variable light ring that reflects indoor air quality.
Compared with the previous generation of products, the air passage system of the Mijia air purifier 3 has been redesigned to output more air volume without changing the volume of the fuselage, and 6,660L clean air can be delivered per minute. Xiaomi says this is already the limit of the purification capacity of the same volume tower.
The optimization of the air route system has also increased the particulate CADR value of Mijia Air Purifier 3 by 29% to 400 m / h, and the applicable area has been increased by 11 x to a maximum of 48 m / h.
Although the performance improved, fortunately, the operating noise and power of the Mijia air purifier 3 did not increase with it. The operating noise is as low as the maximum power of 32.1dB (A), operation is only 38W, calculated at the conventional market price, 24 hours a day, the electricity charge does not exceed 0.5yuan.
In other respects, Mijia Air Purifier 3 also integrates the wind speed regulation function of Mijia Air Purifier MAX, with built-in micron laser particle sensor, which can detect micron fine particles and feedback indoor air quality changes in real time.
Mijia air purifier 3 can also be connected to Mijia App and Xiaoai AI voice control system to complete the linkage control with air purifier and smart rice full DC frequency conversion air conditioning, smart rice dehumidifier, smart rice fresh air system and other intelligent environmental electrical equipment.

Xiaomi Air Purifiers – Gen 1 and Gen 2 comparisons
Mi air purifier 2 is launched on November 24, 2015, it can be considered as the upgrade generation of the earlier Generation 1. Compared to the Gen 1 model, the biggest change was undoubtedly in its volume on a smaller foot-print, but also less space occupied. Mi air purifier Gen 2 is targeted mainly for small apartment users which can provide for purification area of 23-48 m².
Xiaomi has made the Air Purifier 2 lighter as well as smaller. As compared to the 735×260 mm laterally size Air Purifier 1, the Air Purifier 2 measures simply 520×240 mm.
The foot print area is also 15% smaller.
It houses a solitary electric motor, twin booster fans (which detoxifies at an effective variety of up to 39.6m²), The design of the Mi Air Purifier 2 was inspired by aircraft engines and comes with an anti-formaldehyde enhanced filter that’s replaceable. It also filters 99.99% of PM 2.5 particles and up to 92% of formaldehyde (a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling chemical that is used in building materials and to produce many household products).
Xiaomi says the more compact design is made possible by a new single-motor, dual-fan design, which has enabled it to shrink its dimensions by up to 40 percent over its predecessor. However, its smaller size means that Air Purifier 2 has had to take a slight performance hit compared to the predecessor’s dual-motor design. Its Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR), or the amount of air it cleans per minute, is now 330m³/h in standard mode, compared to the 406m³/h for the larger model.
Still, this can go up to 388m³/h in Turbo mode and Xiaomi says it can filter the air in a 23m² room in only 10 minutes.
In addition to the smaller foot-print compared to Gen-1, some optimization was also done to the motor, dual-fan blower motor design in Gen-1 is now reduced to single fan motor in Gen-2, this also allowed energy saving of 58% compared to Gen-2.
The above chart shows the different recommended room areas for different CADR value, so that air can be purified efficiently by the air purifier.
Although smaller in size, and the motor going through some optimization and changes, but its purifying effect does not seem to lowered, the one-hour PM2.5 purification can reach 97.7%.
In the purification capacity, CADR is now 330 m³ per hour for standard mode, and in the turbo mode CADR is 388 m³ per hour, clean up area from 27.2 – 46.6 m² (292 – 500 ft²), it takes 10 minutes to complete a purification process once for a 23 m² (250 ft²) room.The firm additionally urges that the Air Purifier 2 is substantially more power efficient – 58 percent even more power efficient.
The company states that the newly improved device is now 11 percent quieter than in the first generation AP, and also makes merely 30db of noise when switched over to sleep mode.
The indicator LED is placed at 7.5cm from the ground, just to low enough to avoid the light interference when reading on the sofa or resting in bed. The light sensor can be adjusted according to the indoor light LED brightness, the indicator can also be completely off.
