Can I use Wyze Air Purifier outside of US and Canada?

Should I leave my Wyze air purifier on 24/7?
Because air pollution is a pervasive and continuous problem, it's best to leave your air purifier on all day. Air pollutants like pollen, traffic gas, and smoke, can transfer to your home from outside while others like cooking, cleaning, and furniture off-gas throughout the day are generated inside. Wyze Air Purifier is designed to run around the clock and keep the pollution level low 24/7. If you run Wyze Air Purifier at the max fan speed, 24 hours a day, for an entire month, the energy cost is only around $3.50.
We recommend running your Wyze Air Purifier continuously to circulate the air and reduce the air pollution level. In a home with an HVAC system circulating air, the air coming out of your vents will be significantly dirtier than the air in the room with the air purifier—especially considering most homes rarely have their air ducts cleaned. Wyze Air Purifier is energy efficient and quiet when the pollution level is low, so you can keep your air clean 24/7.
Does Wyze Air Purifier generate byproducts, like ozone?
Wyze Air Purifier is CARB certified, which means it does not exceed ozone emission limits. Our units do not use any ionization-based components which could generate harmful byproducts.
What does Wyze Air Purifier remove?
Wyze Air Purifier (regardless of the filter equipped) is designed to remove both particulate and gaseous pollutants commonly found at home, including dust, pollen, mold, pet allergens, viruses & bacteria, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and tobacco smoke.
Wyze Air Purifier comes with one of three interchangeable options. Wyze Air Purifier with Allergen Filter is considered to be sufficient to handle common pollutants found in most homes. The Wildfire Filter is particularly effective against smoke generated from wildfire, industrial processes, and traffics. The Formaldehyde Filter is designed to be extra efficient for the removal of chemical gas such as VOCs, and even formaldehyde, thanks to its manganese catalyst material. VOCs are commonly found in household products, e.g., cleaning agents, paints, varnishes, furniture, and wax, and generated in activities such as cleanings, applying cosmetics, and smoking. The formaldehyde filter is recommended for homes with smokers, new constructions or remodeling, or new products such as new furniture.
I’m healthy and live far away from the center of wildfire, why should I care about indoor air quality?
It’s tempting to think we are safe from the dangers of air pollution when in the sanctity of our own homes. However, indoor air is on average 4x to 5x more polluted than outdoor air, according to the US EPA. Outdoor air will travel inside at certain times, and local allergens and auto emissions will also make their way into your home and become trapped due to poor ventilation. We recommend using air purifiers for short-term and long-term health benefits, regardless of your home's distance from outdoor pollution sources.
How does the filter subscription work?
Once you subscribe to our Wyze Air Purifier filters on Wyze.com, Wyze will ship one filter of your choice to you, at the frequency of your choosing, with a 12% discount. You will only be charged at the moment of shipment.
How long do the Wyze Air Purifier filters last?
The filter life and performance could vary depending on usage and your home environment. In general, we recommend replacing your air purifier filter at least every 6 months to maintain the best performance. Your Wyze App will let you know when it is time to replace the filter.
Where should I place my air purifier?
If you only have one air purifier, the ideal place to put the air purifier is the room in your home where you spend the most time out of each day. For most people, this will either be your bedroom or living room. Try to keep your unit at least 1 foot away from walls or furniture and avoid blockage of air entrance and exit vents. This will allow air to circulate properly and the air purifier to operate more efficiently.
What room size does this Air Purifier work for?
Wyze Air Purifier is effective in rooms up to 550 sq. ft (42 m2). For slightly larger rooms, you can run the unit at a higher fan speed for longer periods of time to achieve the same cleaning performance.
