You are not going to get an accurate CO2 sensor for $27. You're being misled into buying cheap Chinese crap.

An accurate CO2 sensor is much more expensive. I would not trust the readings of the sensor in this blog. It's going to be off by over 100ppm, especially if there's a lack of good airflow.

Senseair is a Swedish company and definitely not "cheap Chinese crap". Do you know about any research that confirms your statements about the accuracy?

I believe that some of the more expensive sensors are more accurate, but this cheap one may be a good enough solution in some cases (e.g. indoor air monitoring for DIY projects).
