lol whatever just buy it, all those words weren't doing anyone any good anyway! In For One. Why Not.
This is true. Good, accurate sensors are unfortunately not cheap. Sometimes you can get "close enough" depending on your need, but part of the problem is that the way they're implemented matters so much, too.My go to is Air Gradient which costs a fair bit more.

I can't trust something where they can't even label correctly their own product.
The first graphic has the temperature and humidity identification incorrect, and for some reason in the temperature symbol is showing a percentage sign other than a degree symbol. Too many strikes.

smh. Thanks, missed that on the small screen this morning.
Sad case of first impressions, but thankfully it looks like it may just be an issue of poorly crafted--either AI or just bad 'shopping--product photos from the seller. All the amzn review photos I've looked at so far seem to indicate the actual product reads "C/F" for the temp label.
If you don't care about the actual meaning of numbers, then this might be okay. You'll notice in one of the reviews that it was thrown way off by opening the windows then closing them - the CO2 is not measuring actual amounts, just calibrating to the lowest likely value when you get fresh air in. These cheap monitors are only good at telling you general movement. Many cheap air quality sensors don't measure the thing directly, but guess it based on some other measurement and assumptions about its environment. A clue is that a decent CO2 sensor alone (just the electronic part) costs $12-15 in quantity.
I use a First Air one and find it to be pretty accurate. Amusingly so at times - cooking of course makes it complain about diminishing air quality, but it is true.
My favorite comment on the user reviews for it is that it's so accurate that farting near it causes it to detect an "abrupt drop in air quality".
Edit - just went to look it up and apparently it's been bought by Amazon and is now "Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor". I've had mine for a few years and really find it to be accurate and useful. Also has a single LED that provides a quick visual reference of air quality that now the whole family is slightly addicted to looking at. ("Why is the sensor yellow?")

For $20, why the hell not? I can finally find out how much my 3d printers are poisoning me
The data is most likely fake. I recently looked into those and probably the only real data is the temperature and humidity. Can't have $80+ in sensors in a device that sells for less than the cost of the sensor cost. If I remember from a YouTube video where someone took one of those apart, they use some cheap alcohol sensors to make the numbers change.
