Moneycontrol NewsNovember 7, 2023
Consider the size of the room where you plan to use the air purifier. Choose a purifier with adequate coverage for the specific area to ensure effective filtration.
Room size
Opt for a purifier with a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter, which can capture small particles and pollutants effectively.
Filtration
Consider purifiers with built-in air quality sensors. These sensors can detect pollutants in real-time and adjust the purifier's settings accordingly.
Air quality sensors
Check the noise level (measured in decibels) of the purifier, especially if you plan to use it in bedrooms or offices.
Noise level, energy consumption
Look for the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of the purifier, which indicates its efficiency in removing pollutants like dust, pollen, and smoke.
