IQAir AirVisual Pro RETURNED // Not Accurate? // Horrible Customer Service // Micro USB in 2023 πΉππ»
7Today I'm giving an overview (not a full review) of the IQAir Air Visual Pro... and this device got returned. We purchased this device with our own money in the hopes it would be a great device, but what we found was lackluster. The first red flag for us was IQAir's customer service... or lack thereof. At the time of writing this description, IQAir has not replied to a single email we ever sent. And we sent quite a few for the past many months. Unacceptable.
The next red flag? We unboxed the unit and saw it uses Micro USB. Yes. MICRO USB in 2023. What?! No. When you're spending $299 (over $300 after taxes), seeing Micro USB on a device is not acceptable. This device should be USB-C. At least IQAir included a power adapter and cable in the box. But still, we are saying NO to Micro USB in 2023.
The final red flag was that the CO2 readings were SO FAR off, it wasn't even close. They say to wait a few weeks to calibrate, which we did. It got worse and worse. Further and further off. We compared the CO2 to our Ambient Weather AQIN as well as the Aranet4. Those were within 100ppm of each other. This IQAir device was 300-400ppm low. Basically useless for us. And we could not wait longer for more calibration as we'd be out of the return window.
We had to return this device as we did NOT feel that it was worth the money. We emailed IQAir via the contact form on their website to try to get a resolution for the CO2 issue and NEVER heard back. Not a single reply.
Honestly, there have only been a couple of videos like this that we've made. The other was for Pomabrush which was a horrible experience. This experience was also horrible.
There are MUCH better devices out there. AirThings also has a device. They replied to one of our questions (we do not have their device yet) so at least their customer support replies.
IQAir appears to be overpriced for what you get, in our opinion. It doesn't live up to expectations, and the lack of customer support is abhorrent.
