10 air purifier options for your home you need to know about

  • Gadgets
May 07, 2021


It is often said that it is easy to solve a problem that everyone sees but is hard to solve something that almost no one sees. This statement is for sure true when it comes to the issue of contaminants and pollutants in the air which are present not only outdoors but surprisingly indoors too.

With the alarming levels of pollution and poor air quality, investing in an air purifier has become commonplace. And with our lives being dominated by the coronavirus pandemic since the last year and a half, buying an air purifier has become the need of the hour.
 

The core of this device is the filter, fan and the design which determines how effectively it sucks in the air and purifies the same. While HEPA filters are the standard, many air purifiers use additional filters to remove various kinds of impurities including Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). When investing in an air purifier it is imperative to understand the room size it covers and its CADR — Clean Air Delivery Rate.  Other factors to consider are the cost of the filter, feasibility of its replacement and other features like ultra violet rays to kill viruses, internet connectivity, cost etc. 

Here is a quick look at some of the most popular air purifiers available in India:
 

Philips 
Philips’s air solutions are well known to improve air quality by removing allergens, bacteria, virus, pollen etc. Professional grade sensors facilitate continuous monitoring and real time displays enable instant feedback. The models work seamlessly with their Air Matters app making it really convenient as you can operate the device from the touch of your smart phone. The Philips High Efficiency Air Purifier AC2887 is one of their top models with a CADR of 333 and comes with a true HEPA filter along with an activated carbon filter. For smaller rooms you can consider the Philips AC1217/20 model.
