Airthings View Plus vs Airthings Wave Mini

The Airthings View Plus wins overall on owner rating, connectivity, display and sensor coverage. It packs seven sensors including radon, CO2 and PM2.5, plus Wi-Fi and an e-ink screen. The Airthings Wave Mini is cheaper but measures only VOCs, temperature and humidity, has no screen and is Bluetooth-only, so it is best as a secondary sensor.

Sensor breadth and connectivity. The Airthings View Plus is a seven-sensor, Wi-Fi monitor with an e-ink display that tracks radon, PM2.5, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure. The Airthings Wave Mini is a Bluetooth-only sensor with no screen that covers just VOCs, temperature, humidity and a mold-risk indicator.

No. The Airthings Wave Mini does not measure radon, CO2 or particulates; it only tracks VOCs, temperature and humidity (plus a mold-risk indicator). The Airthings View Plus adds radon, CO2 and PM2.5, which is why it is the more complete air quality monitor.

The Airthings View Plus does. It adds Wi-Fi on top of Bluetooth for remote access and shows readings on a 2.9-inch e-ink display. The Airthings Wave Mini is Bluetooth-only with no screen, so on its own it updates only when you open the app nearby and needs an Airthings hub or a View Plus for continuous data.

Buy the Airthings View Plus if you want one device that monitors radon, CO2, VOCs and particulates with Wi-Fi, a display and a strong app. It suits anyone serious about indoor air quality and whole-home setups, and it can even act as a hub for Airthings Wave sensors like the Mini.

Buy the Airthings Wave Mini if you want an affordable VOC, temperature, humidity and mold-risk sensor for an extra room, especially within an existing Airthings setup. It is the budget pick, but not the choice if you need radon, CO2, particulates, Wi-Fi or an on-device screen.
