As the trees begin to blossom all around South Africa, one thing is clear: winter is dead – so long live spring. Pack away those too-thick blankets, throw open the windows, and, if you’re serious about those spring vibes, why not grab something from Xiaomi’s catalogue?
Preferably something that doesn’t just keep the vibes rolling in your home, but clears the air, too – a must in South Africa. Whether Xiaomi’s range of air purifiers is fending off the harmful allergens that make spring a sneeze-fest for most or simply to keep the little rugrats’ incessant coughing in check, Xiaomi has got your back. And your nose.
Not to mention Xiaomi’s extensive budget-friendly catalogue of equally flexible humidifiers – targeting those too-dry homes that a light breeze just can’t defeat. And with plenty more solutions in between, Xiaomi ensures there’s something for everyone.
Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact (R1,799 R2,199)
If anything were to penetrate those nostrils this spring, let it be the freshest and cleanest air possible, courtesy of the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact – particularly if you’re worried about space. Built to tackle 27m² rooms with ease, this lightweight solution promises to clear the air without getting the upstairs neighbours all riled up, day or night.
Stick it on the floor, desk, or kitchen counter – the result is the same. Operating at decibels as low as 20dB, the Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact can also be controlled by your home’s Alexa or Google assistant, ensuring quicker, easier access to fresh air on the regular.
Don’t be fooled by its stature. Xiaomi’s most budget-friendly station utilises a 3-in-1 filter that’s proven 99.97% accurate at trapping particles as small as 0.3 microns. Dust, allergens, smoke, and those dreadful odours from Rex are no match for Xiaomi’s tech. At R1,799 currently on Takealot, the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact is all about your wellbeing this spring.
Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Lite (R3,299 R3,699)
Like its more affordable cousin, the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Lite effectively tackles the most despicable particles whose job it is to clog your nostrils, lungs, or simply mess with the vibes, but on a much larger scale. Built to withstand whatever nature can throw at it in a 43m² space, the Smart Air Purifier 4 Lite positions itself as the ideal family solution.
It may be tall, but don’t underestimate the Smart Air Purifier 4 Lite. Not only does it nearly consume as much space as a single A4 paper, but it’s also proven to be just as successful at ridding your home of those harmful particles with the same 99.97% accurate 3-in-1 filter. Keep an eye on how well it performs with the Xiaomi Home App and get intelligent notification reminders when it’s time to change those filters.
It takes it a step further with an LED on its front to give you a quick breakdown at a glance. You might’ve expected that extra horsepower to equate to a price tag worthy of the top 1%, but Takealot keeps it tight at R3,299 currently for the Smart Air Purifier 4 Lite.
Xiaomi Smart Humidifier 2 (R999 R1,299)
With those pesky allergens out of mind, it’s time to start focusing on your comfort this spring before we slide into summer like a drenched back across a leather seat. The Xiaomi Smart Humidifier 2 can help you there and, more importantly, at a price your wallet can afford – all before the Christmas holidays get there first.
Fill up that 4.5L water tank, allow the purifying UV-C ultraviolet rays to do their thing, and you can come home every day feeling like you just scaled an incredible mountain when all you really did was make two trips from your car to carry in all the groceries. Same thing, really. But with over 350ml of mist spraying out per hour, you’ll never be too dry again.
You don’t want it to get too swampy, though, do you? Let the Xiaomi Smart Humidifier 2 do its thing on automatic mode, and it’ll keep an eye on your home’s humidity to ensure everything stays right where it’s supposed to. Like the rest of Xiaomi’s smart home ecosystem, it can be remotely controlled via the Xiaomi Home App (check out the Xiaomi Temperature and Humidity Monitor 2 for even more seamless control options).
The Xiaomi Smart Humidifier 2 gets on with it in the background and doesn’t interrupt what you’re doing, whether it be cooking, watching TV, or sleeping. It’ll remain as quiet as a mouse with up to 38dB operation, which only serves to make that R999 price on Takealot currently more appealing.
Xiaomi Humidifier 2 Lite (R749 R849)
Looking to keep that budget under four digits this spring? Never fear, for the Xiaomi Humidifier 2 Lite does just that, all while continuing to offer up exemplary service. With a slightly smaller footprint, 4L water tank, and 300ml/h mist sprays, the Humidifier 2 Lite promises to keep you and your home cool for up to 30 hours at a time.
And with an intuitive design, there’s no hassle when refilling. Simply pour your water in through the top – no lifting the lid necessary. Once on, that mist will hit every corner of the room with 360-degree visibility, keeping the whole house cool, not just your skin.
The Xiaomi Humidifier 2 Lite may present itself as the perfect challenger against an oncoming summer and already-mild spring, but there’s no need to pack this one away when winter rolls around again. With so much dry air, keeping the humidifier going is a great way to help prevent simple colds and flu, dry sinuses, and dehydration
So, what are you still doing here? You can grab the Xiaomi Humidifier 2 Lite and more today. Browse the range, and get your home prepped before it’s too late!
