Airthings 2989 View Radon vs Airthings Wave Plus

Airthings 2989 View Radon takes the overall win thanks to built-in Wi-Fi, an e-ink display, roughly 3-year battery life and a fuller alert set. Airthings Wave Plus is the one to pick only if you specifically want its six sensors, adding CO2, VOCs and air pressure to radon.

Wi-Fi versus sensors. The View Radon has 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and a screen, so you see radon levels on the device and from anywhere. The Wave Plus is Bluetooth-only and screen-free, needing an Airthings Hub for remote data, but it measures six things: radon, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure.

For remote or continuous data, yes: on its own it syncs over Bluetooth when you open the app nearby, and an Airthings Hub via SmartLink unlocks online access. The Airthings 2989 View Radon needs no hub at all, and can itself act as a hub for other Airthings devices.

Only the Airthings Wave Plus. It tracks CO2 and VOCs alongside radon, temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure, giving a broader air quality picture. The Airthings 2989 View Radon focuses on radon, temperature and humidity.

Choose Airthings 2989 View Radon if radon is your main concern and you want a display, Wi-Fi alerts, weekly reports and about 3 years of battery life, with USB-C power as an option. It is the more convenient standalone radon monitor of the two.

Choose Airthings Wave Plus if you want the fullest air quality picture in one battery-powered device: radon, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure. It suits bedrooms and living areas where ventilation and airborne chemicals matter, ideally paired with an Airthings Hub for remote access.
