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?

Hi There, I hope all is well with you!
I wanted to provide you with a brief update on your order.
We are currently out of stock of the View Plus in the US. We were supposed to receive a replenishment of 240pcs yesterday but it has been delayed until tomorrow, May 9th, and we will have replenished stock by early next week at the latest.
I am closely monitoring the situation. I will reach out to you as soon as I receive any updates from our shipping department.
We appreciate your patience in this regard. Thank you and have a nice day!
240 pieces! What an insanely low volume! That's like etsy volume. Not a mature company with a mature product kind of volume. That's concerning...
The View Plus has been in high demand in recent weeks, and we are currently sold out. We are working to increase production in order to meet demand.
We understand that the delay is inconvenient; however, we take every precaution to ensure that our products are of the highest quality by testing each and every unit one by one to ensure that we deliver a high-quality product. We're doing everything we can to keep the delay to a minimum.
According to the most recent update, Airthings stock will be shipped in a couple of weeks.
A couple weeks, they really should say something on the item page, super unprofessional.
I am unsure if a different model or older model or what. Looks the same. =(
Bought another one at that price for downstairs.
The cheapo $25 air detector I bought on Aliexpress - readings are WAY off LOL
It's not sensitive enough for large rooms. 20% of the price of an Airthings, 20% accurate =)
