What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Wave Plus is positioned as the affordable entry point into Airthings' radon ecosystem. Legitreviews.com's long-form review and seetheair.org both highlight the two-AA-battery design lasting well over a year in real-world use, which seetheair.org's reviewer specifically called out after a month of monitoring. On r/radon, a working radon specialist recommends Airthings monitors to homeowners as accurate enough for residential decision-making, and a high-trust r/homegym thread documents straightforward setup and clear app trend data.
What reviewers liked
- r/radon professionals endorse it as accurate enough for homeowner decisions
- Battery life consistently reported at 12–18+ months on two AAs across multiple reviewers
- NDIR CO2 sensor plus VOC, humidity, temperature, and pressure — broader than budget monitors
- Same long-term trend graphing that reviewers praise across the Airthings line
Where it falls short
- No PM2.5 sensor — will not detect cooking smoke, wildfire particulates, or dust events
- App reliability complaints recur across Amazon reviews and r/AirQuality threads
- Radon readings require days of accumulated data before they're meaningful
- Pricier than non-radon competitors that cover PM2.5

The honest gap versus the View Plus is sensor coverage: the Wave Plus skips PM2.5, so it won't catch cooking smoke or wildfire particulates. Reviewers who care primarily about radon plus general ventilation (CO2, VOCs, humidity) treat that omission as acceptable; reviewers who want a single do-everything monitor say it isn't. The other recurring complaint, consistent with the broader Airthings lineup, is the app — r/AirQuality threads echo that the hardware outpaces the software.
For buyers who specifically want continuous radon monitoring with a battery-powered, no-wires install, the consensus across mainstream reviewers and specialist subreddits puts the Wave Plus ahead of one-off radon test kits and ahead of cheaper monitors that lack a true radon sensor.
