SMILEDRIVE Portable Air Quality Pollution Monitor Review: India (AQI, PM1/2.5/10, TVOC, HCHO, Temp, Humidity)

⚡ Quick Facts

1. Brand: SMILEDRIVE
2. Model: Portable Air Quality Pollution Monitor Meter

Air Quality Parameters Measured

1. PM1.0, PM2.5 & PM10: Fine and coarse particulates commonly associated with pollution.
2. AQI: A combined index to understand overall air quality health impact.
3. Temperature & Humidity: Environment conditions alongside pollution readings.
4. TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds): Detects general harmful organic gases.
5. HCHO (Formaldehyde): Important indoor irritant from paints, plywood, furniture, etc
6. Temperature & Humidity: Environment conditions alongside pollution readings

Air Pollution Parameters

1. AQI (Air Quality Index) : 0 – 500 (MAX) ➜ Cannot display above 500.
2. PM2.5 (Particulate Matter 2.5) : 0 – 999 µg/m³ ➜ Suitable for extreme Indian pollution levels.
3. PM10 (Coarse Particles) : 0 – 999 µg/m³ ➜ Used mainly for AQI calculation along with PM2.5.
4. PM1.0 : 0 – 999 µg/m³ ➜ Ultra-fine particles (useful for indoor air awareness).

Display & Interface

1. Colour Graphic / LCD Display: Real-time readings and graphs make it easier to read compared to plain numeric screens.
2. Color Indicators: Green = Safe, Yellow = Moderate, Red = Poor/High.

Build and Design

1. Portable & Handheld: Light and easy to carry for indoor/outdoor use.
2. Rechargeable battery (~2200 mAh reported on some listings): Long-use battery life with low battery warning.

Verdict 🧠

1. ✅ Indian users who want a portable, multi-parameter air quality monitor showing PM, VOCs, formaldehyde, temperature, and humidity in real time — ideal for homes, offices, and travel.
2. ❌ Users needing high-precision, lab-grade air quality data or professional compliance reporting.
3. ❌ Monitoring CO/CO₂ levels — choose a model that includes those if needed.
