The QT3 Air Purifier Test Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We tested the QT3 in Smart Air\u2019s 13 m2<\/sup> meeting room in Beijing. That\u2019s the size of a typical living room or hotel bedroom–places that people might use the QT3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We made sure to test on polluted days. PM2.5 pollution outdoors was above 70 micrograms (AQI 160). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do the test, we turned the QT3 on its highest speed and ran it for 8 hours, just like the ones we\u2019ve run for our Sqair air purifier<\/a> and DIY air purifiers<\/a>. The doors and windows were closed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Test Results: QT3 Cut PM2.5 by 76%<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We calculated the percentage reduction in PM2.5 from when the air purifier was turned on versus the last 4 hours of the test. Here’s what one of the test days looked like.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Across the three tests, the QT3 reduced PM2.5 by 76%. Of course, this will vary based on room size, how bad local pollution is, and how well sealed your room is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of the three test days, the QT3 cut PM2.5 to below the new WHO limit<\/a> of 5 micrograms. But keep in mind that purifiers have a harder battle to fight on days when outdoor air pollution is high. Our tests have found that ALL air purifiers perform worse when air pollution is very high<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Quickly Can the QT3 Clean a Room?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The QT3 is small, so it takes time to achieve its full effect. Averaging across all three tests, the QT3 cut PM2.5 by 55% after 1 hour and 70% after 2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line<\/div>
Bottom Line: Bottom Line: QT3 Real World Test<\/div>
\nAlthough it’s not designed to clean a whole room, the QT3 portable purifier reduced PM2.5 by an average of 76% in a 13m2 room in overnight tests.\n<\/div>
