Introduction (Does It Do What It Should)

In answering my introductory question, I have to say that when I first encountered the Wave Enhance from Airthings, I really couldn’t figure out what to do with it. From what I can tell, this is a smart monitor for bedrooms that can measure carbon dioxide (CO2) not to mention other environmental conditions like indoor air quality and more.

So, yes, I did have a chance to use it, and I found this little white disc to be rather interesting. Maybe you should watch the video to see how simple it is to set up. All you need to do is just make an account, and you will see what the condition is.

Now, you can see in the video how it works, because I thought there was a button on the thing to make it work. There was also this light that would come on, but I had a really hard time to make it come on camera.

I wasn’t really sure that this device even worked, but I kind of noticed something as I was writing this article, seriously. Yeah, you see that red bar, that is my CO2 level, and I have no idea how to get this thing in the green. Maybe I should get some plants in here.

Now, I believe that this device is made for standing up on your bedstand, and it allows to help your rest as you can check on your environment. All I have to say to that is: hopefully I can get this CO2 thing ironed out so I can rest. Well, at least my VOC (Airborne chemicals) and Humidity looks good.

So, if this is something that you want, head on over to the Airthings website and lay down $149.99 for it.

Facts About The Company

If you hit the “About Us”, the first thing that you will see is that Airthings shows a wonderful mountain range with the phrase: “Empowering people to breathe better”. They were started with an idea to offer accurate, user-friendly radon detectors to the masses masking them as common as smoke detectors.

What Does This Company Make?

Well, they do have indoor air quality, air purifiers, and radon detectors. I should probably attempt to see if any other products from this company is available.

Maybe I Want It, But Is There Anything Else Like It? Maybe For A Lower Price? Please?

I’ll be very honest when I say that I have not really reviewed any item like this. I really can’t figure out why either. It feels like there should be as many of these products as there are…I don’t know, mobile chargers.
