Mila is the first smart air purifier of its kind that makes controlling your home’s air quality as intuitive as setting your thermostat. With Mila, you’ll discover a best-in-class HEPA air purifier that’s smart, simple, quiet, and affordable (and cute, because our hunch was right: No one wants an eyesore in their living room).
Here’s some of what you can do with your Mila and Android app:

Real-time indoor and outdoor air quality
Daily and weekly insights into your AQI, TVOC, and more
Nine sensors to help monitor your air quality, VOC levels, humidity, temperature, and carbon dioxide levels
Clean, fresh air — automagically set for you
Quiets down in your presence
Light Sleeper setting to turn off your display and control the hum of your fan while your snooze
Turndown Service activates an hour before bedtime to give your room a deep clean to reduce nighttime allergies

Unit constantly is losing connection to the internet. The app is also constantly losing my device and is not present when I try to control the device. The only way around this is to uninstall the app and then reinstall the app. I have done this at least a half a dozen times. Everything worked well until the last app update. The fan is also noisy at times. I now have to turn it off when I watch television which I didn’t have to do before. I like the air filter but it is becoming problematic.
The Mila is fantastic but the app is problematic. I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall the app four times now as it will lose connection with the unit and this seems to be the only means of reestablishing the connection to control fan speeds. (The unit still functions properly and reacts as intended.)
Okay, I’m surprised to see so many people complaining here. I didn’t have any trouble connecting to WiFi or experienced bugs mentioned in so many reviews here. You have to drop your phone from your home WiFi and connect to Mila’s WiFi first to enter your home WiFi password on the Mila itself so it can connect to your WiFi on its own. I think that may be throwing people off. I can’t tell if the bugs were quickly addressed or I’m missing something here. Giving some commands to the app do all the stuff on the Mila for me. I don’t get what bugs people are talking about here. It’s aesthetically pleasing and responsive. I have to say it can be improved and not the most intuitive but it’s not as bad as to receive a 1 star rating (unless you have a bad batch and you have bad sensors). It has too many navigation options which could be simplified more. My Mila kicks in a couple minutes after cooking, runs at high speed for 20 min or so and all the smells go away afterward. We don’t even need those scented candles any more.
Just some minor tweaks would help. First, not that easy to find how to add another device. First you find the floor and then find the + sign. Not very apparent. Second, when connecting with wifi the ‘go to settings ‘ option is a dead end. If I connect via that it won’t being me back to the config screen automatically. I had to back out and then go back in the app. This resets the app and since I’m not connected to the wifi but the device itself, I can’t login again.

Edit: Mila had a rough start. I gave it just two stars. My first unit squealed and the software was ultra buggy. After a several weeks they seem to have polished the app quite nicely. My new unit also arrived and it no longer is plagued by the squeal. The modes seem to work, the schedule now works and saves, the Wi-Fi stays connected, it no longer deletes your Mila for no reason, and their support has been A+. Seriously, they care about you. I’m now recommending these to anyone in the market! MJ

Very good so far. I’d love to be able to control individual Milas rather than home-wide settings and Google Home integration (I know it’s being worked on) would be awesome. But, all in all, quite happy so far. I’ve only been testing for 1/2 a day so far, so will report more feedback if I run into any challenges.

Great smart features based on sensor data, and clever schedule ideas especially before and during sleep. The app itself looks and works great. This is truly unexpected as most apps I’ve used in this category don’t even usually connect well let alone solve for the jobs to be done. Mila should probably pivot and write all the apps for all the smart air filters and perhaps beyond.
Edit 2/20/21: Massive improvements! This app is great! The filter is amazing! I have a pet rabbit & my husband is allergic to hay & other basic allergens. The Mila helps immensely w/ our indoor air quality. His snoring doesn’t bother me now! After I change the rabbit’s hay, I turn the filter up for an hour & the hay in the air doesn’t bother him. I have a wishlist of features I’d love to see happen but I am at a point where I can’t actively complain about the app because it’s great!
I *love* the air filter. I have asthma and have tried a lot of them. The app has aggravating connectivity issues – even though I login to an account, my “trends” history takes SO LONG to load- whenever it doesn’t just say “error loading data” Commands from the app take quite a while to come through to the unit.
Theres no reset button on the app when the mila goes offline which is almost daily, you cant rename it without removing the device. Unable to control anything from the app..probably because the devices are always offline. Frustrating for sure. I’m trying to love this, but my winix purifier and app were so easy and the purifier never failed to connect..even after a power outage it would reconnect itself.
The app needs additional controls, such as an ON/OFF button for individual Mila. Also, the sleep schedule doesn’t save after adjustment. The app also needs to show the app version as well as firmware version for each Mila. There should be an option to apply certain settings for each individual Mila or all Milas in the household.
Editing my initial review as no more reboots since then, pretty silent in night mode now (goes down to 10%) which is almost like no sound at all, disabled energy saving mode for now and the app itself is great in my opinion. One thing still remaining is that sometimes values in the app are off but otherwise pretty happy and planing to get some more.
I wish the next upgrade will be more simpliflied when it comes to browsing the content and user friendly including which button to choose my settings from coz everytime no kidding, I always get lost. There’s so much info that i don’t know if I needed to know or atleast use a simple word since I am not knowledgeable in science lol. I still love mila and I always recommend them! ❤
Update: 1 year later, and it still missed basic things. Why doesn’t Mila understand daylight savings time? Why are air quality stations list in ‘mi’ in countries that use metric? Why can’t I set sleep and wake for more than 10hrs apart? This sucks for kids. Why can’t I share access with the wife? The smartness of this product is defeated if the app lacks features and simple things like daylight savings time require me to manually configure it.
I’ve had 2 Milas since March 2021. I had one replaced after about 2 months due to a faulty fan motor making way too much noise, and another after about 5 months for the exact same reason. I’m still waiting on that replacement. Currently, I can no longer access the app due to constant 401 Unauthorized error codes. When it works, it’s great. When it doesn’t…very frustrating.
Works as intended. Only things I would change is adding a “pause” feature so it can stop Housekeeping mode when we are in the room, just watching a movie and not moving. And if it would tell you what setting is running when you bring up the room, telling me it’s in Automatic Mode is not helpful when the dementors are being sucked out of the room and I want to know why.
App worked flawlessly to initially set up. Then it crashed and will not open. Removed and reinstalled the app multiple times and when I click “Sign In” I get a “Failed to receive discovery document: Network error”. E: updated review to 5 stars. The glitch disappeared the next day, app has been working well and is packed with lots of information!
The UI is amazingly smooth and beautiful. Pairing was so easy I had to do a double take. Very intuitive. The air filter as well has been amazing so far. Reacts instantly to everything from our cats doing their business to our robot vacuum doing its rounds. The air quality metrics are very insightful and tell you how clean your ‘clean’ air really is. It’s also the quietest little thing, but packs a punch when you’re away.
Okay but can’t connect to local data, the local aqi doesn’t load and total bedrooms always reverts to 0. Update: the above problem has been fixed and now works great, easy to use and set up. Excellent air quality measurement with real time updates. And very easy user interface.
Love Mila and they keep making this app better all the time. It really does tell you things you never would have known. I noticed patterns in spikes in AQI I realized it was coming from being in an apartment. I got something to block the bottom of the door to the hallway and it improved noticeably! Small things like that help you aware of your environment to help you change things for the better. I knew humidity levels were low but I never realized how much it affected my breathing until fixed
Cannot connect the purifier to Wifi after many attempts so the app is useless. After 5 months of use, the fan is making an unpleasant buzzing sound. My initial great impression is fading fast.
My experience is improving. The app connects to the unit every time now, and I can access current info. However, the home heart screen still doesn’t load. Registering can be improved: I had to restart the app 3 times to complete it due to errors.
The bedtime schedule is useless due to the bugs. The schedule will not set no matter how many times you configure. Every time you leave the page or app it resets. This also renders the modes useless as they are based off of the bedtime schedule. Great idea but needs a lot of work.
I love it🔥 I have two Mila purifiers so far and they really help my family to stay healthy, now I know when it is safe to open windows, can track a lot of info about the indoor air quality. The team is really responsive and keeps improving the app and the appliance. So I really feel they care a lot! Waiting for new features!✨
Love this app. Gives a lot of information and options for control of the device. Interface was easy to learn and use. I do wish it had an app for a smart watch so I could check in on the device without having to locate my phone. Other than that, I could not be happier with my Mila purchase.
I wish I could give this a proper review, but I can’t even get past the setup stage within the app. It gets stuck at the choosing a WiFi network part. It’s been a week of trying, uninstalling, and no luck, very disappointed with this so far.
It mostly does what i want it to do. However, i feel it’s sluggish response, because it needs to talk to the mothership all the time. Unable to select location, which is really annoying. The GUI is slightly too gimmicky.
There were some connection issues with the app initially but after re-connecting the unit with my wifi (pressing the middle circle button on the unit) it seems to be OK. Had issues with the shipping as well. Ordered the unit on October 31st, got the tracking number on 11/11 AFTER I messaged them on 11/9. Received the sock 11/14 (about 15 days after the initial purchase), received the unit 11/18. Not a huge complaint but if you want an air purifier right away, purchase something else
So, the app keeps badgering me every time I log on to write a review, I absolutely hate that. On top of that, the in app keyboard, when I try to type a response overlaps over the submit button. I keep having to re-add my MILA to the app every few days, and while this isn’t a massive issue and actually gave me something to do during lockdown, I keep having to find my WiFi password every time and honestly it’s just a faff. Also a note about how clogged the filter is would be nice.
Overall like the app. A few things I’d like to see: – biometric login – multi user support so all household members can log in/control – tell me what filter I have in (can this be auto detected?) with a general countdown on time left until replacement. Maybe it could update the time if you manually clean it and it could sense this.
App needs a way to actually make the device actually silent by schedule. Both the quiet and night modes are still too loud! Also always loads a sign in screen when you open it (that it does log you in) as opposed to landing straight on the app
very helpful and intuitive app. Really glad that I am able to have such interactions and control over what each individual unit is doing. I think the careers for being open to feedback and continually improving the product
I agree with others that this app is very glitchy. I also don’t see anyway to program things like the white noise function. I absolutely LOVE my Mila and I enjoy the app…when it works. I hope they will fix some of these bugs in the future.
Extremely unhappy with my purchase so far. Many small things that end up really making me upset. You can NOT turn your mila on or off via the app, how ridiculous is that. Your sleep schedule does not save after setting. Setting a fan manually to 0% doesn’t stop it. A fan at 0 or 10% is louder than any of the other purifiers I’ve had. Mila is intended for large spaces, definitely not for a bedroom that’s for sure. It moves a TON of air, sure, but it’s noisy beyond belief. I paid 78 EUR taxes…
Love the filter, but there is issue within the app. You can’t set bed time schedule. Whatever I set it to, it always reverts back to 8am going to sleep and 9pm wake up. Please look into this bug.
Good app love the indoor and outdoor air quality info. I also like that it makes it easier to control my Milas and the humor with some of the settings / notifications. My favorite “Bubble Boy” mode.
I had been in the market for a great air purifier, one that combined a high CADR, Smart Features, and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Mila hit the mark stunningly. For those information and UI junkies, the Mila Air app is amazing. There’s so much more detail on this thing. Other air purifiers in this range don’t give the sort of info like Mila. Air purifiers with this similar mixture of info cost such a prohibitive amount.
So far so good. For all with WiFi issues during the initial setup, just connect to the Mila WiFi, the go to the WiFi settings, click Advanced and from Privacy select to use the device MAC. For me, this resolved the issue.
Supposedly set up my mila but the darn thing is on but is offline in the app. Have tried reinstalling app turning mila off and on. If your going to put all your eggs in one app basket (can’t do squat without the app) perhaps make sure the basket doesn’t have so many massive holes…
Great cleaner, great app that is about to get some amazing updates adding more abilities. Can’t wait to try the new white noise settings. Buying filters from the app would be a nice option. Thanks!
