Cubic is considered a slightly lower quality budget brand. The funny thing is that Airthing's lower tier model Wave Plus uses a SenseAir Sunrise CO2 sensor... SenseAir is not only a better brand but that's their top of the line CO2 sensor.
So to answer your question, no, you probably don't need this one if you already have a monitor. However, for people that don't already have one and want a simple monitor that just works, this is a solid choice at a very good price.
#2 Co2 is a sign of poor ventilation. Purification can help with some aspects of that (dust, pollen, etc.) but also can't directly fix the problem of poor ventilation.
Just FYI Radon is the #2 cause of lung cancer, and just because you don't live in an area where it's prevalent doesn't mean you can't have issues with it. It can be an issue just about anywhere, it's just more or less common in certain areas.
I've since gotten better radon meters from EcoSense that have real-time data and better historic data/graphs.
I still use this but you have to keep it plugged in for the wifi feature. If you are okay with bluetooth on your phone to get the numbers on your phone then it looks nice on a wall running on batteries.
The Radon meter is showing me the same average values that EcoSense does. It does alert me for VoC's (when somebody burns something in the oven) and high Co2 when the kids are in the living room playing with all the windows closed. For that I know when to open a window. I do have those winix air filters on 24/7 in the living room though.
It's been good. Never has a problem connecting to wifi or the other airthings monitor in my office.
That's a really good price. Too good.. maybe they are coming out with a new model or shutting down?

If this isn't in my hands before month end, that's bad and would also indicate slow warranty claims (if applicable)

I just got a shipping confirmation this evening.
It's.... a start!
Really curious how this device does compared to a crappy $25 air monitor device/knock off from Aliexpress. =)

I am hoping air things can tell me that stale air in my room is just stale air and not something toxic, that's why I need it.
