Airthings 2989 View Radon vs Airthings Wave Mini

The Airthings 2989 View Radon wins comfortably, leading on owner rating, battery life, connectivity, display and alerts. The Airthings Wave Mini's only advantage is its lower price, which suits it as a budget secondary sensor rather than a primary monitor.

One is a connected radon monitor, the other a basic VOC sensor. The Airthings 2989 View Radon has Wi-Fi, an e-ink screen and a radon sensor for remote monitoring. The Airthings Wave Mini is Bluetooth-only, has no screen and measures VOCs, temperature and humidity but not radon.

The Airthings 2989 View Radon connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth, so it records continuously and sends remote alerts and weekly reports. The Airthings Wave Mini is Bluetooth-only and needs an Airthings hub for continuous, remotely accessible data.

The Airthings 2989 View Radon measures radon, temperature and humidity. The Airthings Wave Mini measures VOCs (airborne chemicals), temperature and humidity, plus a mold-risk indicator, but does not detect radon, CO2 or particulates.

Buy the Airthings 2989 View Radon if you want serious radon monitoring with Wi-Fi remote access, a display, long battery life and a full alerts set. It suits anyone watching radon across a home or keeping an eye on a mitigation system from their phone.

Buy the Airthings Wave Mini if you want the cheapest way to add VOC, temperature and humidity sensing to an extra room, ideally alongside an Airthings hub. It is a budget secondary sensor, not a radon or whole-home air quality monitor.
