Where the two actually differ on the specs we track (6 of 7). Matching specs are omitted.
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Only two whitelisted outlets mention this exact model, and neither lab-measured it. Digital Trends' 2023 roundup praises the M10's large, easy-to-read display, portability and built-in alarm while flagging its roughly 6-hour battery. Wirecutter's Oct 2025 guide references the M10 only in its competition section as a 'former pick,' having moved on to the AirGradient One. No measured benchmarks exist. (2 sourced reviews.)
Praised: Large, easy-to-read display; Portable, grab-and-go design; Built-in alarm for pollutant spikes.
Flagged: Short battery life, about 6 hours per charge; No longer a Wirecutter pick, relegated to a 'former pick'.
Only one whitelisted tester covers the Aranet4: NYT Wirecutter, which reports hands-on use over years and praises its accuracy and reliability, but flags that it only tracks CO2. In its October 2025 update Wirecutter places the Aranet4 in the 'competition' section rather than as a pick, favoring the multi-pollutant AirGradient One (which uses the same NDIR CO2 sensor plus more). No lab-measured Aranet4 figures were published; the surviving quotes come from Wirecutter's competition write-up. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Accurate, reliable CO2 readings confirmed over years of hands-on use.
Flagged: Measures only CO2, unlike multi-pollutant rivals.
