I've been thinking about picking one up lately, just to see how good my ventilation is in my home and see if there are any pollution issues. The good ones are like $200, i was wondering if it was worth it or not

    In warmer weather I keep the Aranet4 on my desk and use it to open windows or whatever if co2 gets too high, and during covid spikes it’s handy to carry into enclosed spaces to gauge their safety

    It doesn’t sense particulate matter just co2, temp, rh and pressure

    You’d be shocked how high co2 gets in places like airports, just walking 100 yards in either direction can be a 6-800 PPM difference

    The more you travel the more useful it will be, since these things tend to be somewhat rhythmic you use it a lot until you get a feel for the place then it tapers off

    If you have a smallish space the 200 bucks is better spent on a high quality HEPA filter imo
