Do they really help in purifying the air or are they just gimmick?

I feel that unless u switch it on to the max, it doesn't do shit. The santai santai silent sedut option is the useless gimmick

There is no straight answer.
It depends on how big & polluted your room is.
You have any breathing illnesses or sensitive to airborne particles?

Depend how sensitive u are.
For me just open window will do enough the ventilation.

Air purifier should be use in closed area only.

Not that I know off.
It's whether it can help to eliminate or reduce airborne particles in ensuring a cleaner and safer breathing environment?

blue air top in the game

xiaomi air purifier is fine,
but their sensor sometimes go faulty early.
so i rarely use automode on my xiao mis'
always on manual around 40-60% power range. never max.
in fix locations in my home.

if u go smarthome route, u should have a air quality monitor
and do benchmark.

Yes, but only buy those with ionizer.

You also have to figure out the air flow, where does the clean air goes, how will it goes, etc.

Else you just have a small zone of clean air if the overall room air is static.

I would still say it depends.

If your house is a fully open environment, then it's useless. The clean + dirty air circulation is quicker than your filter can function.

if it's fully or almost fully enclosed area, yes it will work.
