Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Philips Luftreiniger 900 Serie ist ein sparsames Gerät für kleine Zimmer: Auf der Mittelstufe reinigt er bei 42 dB rund 12 m², auf Turbo gut 20 m², nicht die beworbenen 65 m². Die Air+ App ist übersichtlich, der Filter hält 12 Monate. Der Haken: gegen Gerüche hilft er kaum, und zwischen leisem Schlafmodus und hörbarer Mittelstufe fehlt eine Zwischenstufe.
Pros
- Rund 155 m³/h bei 42 dB, genug für Räume um 12 m²
- Sparsam: 6,9 W auf Mittel, knapp 20 W auf Turbo
- Übersichtliche Air+ App mit Zeitplänen, Timer und ohne Werbung
- Filter FY0910 hält 12 Monate, für kleine Rundgeräte lang
- Schlafmodus mit knapp 35 dB, Leuchten ganz abschaltbar
- Erkennt Zigarettenrauch nach etwa 15 Sekunden
Cons
- Reicht realistisch für rund 20 m² statt beworbener 65 m²
- Aktivkohle hilft kaum gegen Koch- und Essensgerüche
- Nur drei Stufen, schon Mittel im Schlafzimmer klar hörbar
- Automatik reagiert übereifrig und schaltet ständig hoch
- Turbo mit 54 bis 60 dB lauter als angegebene 49 dB
Der Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier Elite ist ein solider Luftreiniger für große Wohnräume: Mit real rund 510 m³/h reinigt er Räume bis etwa 40 bis 48 m² und bindet Gerüche dank viel Aktivkohle zügig. Der Haken: Unter 45 dB schafft er nicht mehr als der 4 Pro, die Automatik regelt spät hoch, und ohne App und Konto kommst du über die Grundfunktionen kaum hinaus.
Pros
- Real rund 510 m³/h, genug für Wohnzimmer bis etwa 40 bis 48 m²
- Viel Aktivkohle mit 135 m³/h Formaldehyd-CADR, Kochgerüche schnell weg
- Auf Stufe 1 etwa 30 dB, Display ganz abschaltbar
- Filter hält rund 10 Monate, RFID-Chip erkennt Wechsel automatisch
- Ionisator und UV-C-Diode direkt am Gerät abschaltbar
- Sparsam mit 60 W Volllast und 2 W Standby
Cons
- Unter 45 dB nur rund 295 m³/h, nicht mehr als der 4 Pro
- Automatikmodus regelt nach Kochen oder Lüften erst spät hoch
- Zeitpläne, manueller Modus und Regeln nur per App mit Konto
- 3-in-1-Filter nur als Ganzes tauschbar, Ersatz nicht billig
- PM2,5-Anzeige weicht stark von Vergleichsgeräten ab, eher Trendwert
