From the maker
Our take
The View Plus is the most complete home monitor here. Alongside PM2.5 and CO₂ it measures radon, a radioactive gas that seeps up from the ground into basements and ground floors, where it can build up unnoticed.
It takes time to settle: CO₂ and VOC readings after a week, and radon is best judged after a month. After that it's a set-and-forget monitor that runs for about two years on batteries.
Good for
- Homes with a basement or ground-floor bedrooms
- One monitor that covers particles, CO₂ and radon
Skip it if
- You only care about smog and CO₂: a cheaper monitor covers those

Questions about the View Plus
- How long does the Airthings View Plus take to give radon readings?
- Airthings advises waiting about a month before acting on radon figures. PM2.5, humidity, temperature and pressure read correctly from the first day; CO₂ and VOCs after about a week.
How we judge. We haven't tested the View Plus in a lab of our own. The figures come from independent ratings (AHAM, Energy Star, NIOSH, the ASPCA) or the maker, and the verdict is ours, from those figures. No brand pays to be listed. Last checked Nov 7, 2026.
