Here are the top five air purifiers you can get in both online and offline markets.

Post Diwali 2018, the air quality in northern part of India has deteriorated significantly, with Delhi being the worst hit. Large parts of Delhi have shown an Air Quality Index (AQI) of more than 999 when it comes to the most harmful PM2.5 particulate matter. There’s no other way of putting this: if you live in North India, the air you are breathing is hazardous at worst or ranges at very unhealthy in the best case scenario. The long term impacts of air pollution paint a scary picture where health is concerned.

One way to mitigate some of these risks is relying on air purifiers in your rooms, especially in bedrooms, to at least reduce some impact. Here is a list of air purifiers that you can currently purchase in India. This list is based on the options we have reviewed.

Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2S

The Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2S features a 3 layer HEPA filter.

Xiaomi’s Mi Air Purifier 2S was recently launched in the country as a successor to the Mi Air Purifier 2 and can be seen as the most affordable option on the list. The device continues with the standard high-efficiency particulate air or HEPA filter.

HEPA filters are the standard when it comes to removing PM2.5 particles and other things like pollen, pet dander, etc. It utilises a 360-degree cylindrical three-layer HEPA filter with a claimed clean air delivery rate (CADR) of 310-meter cube per hour, which should be good enough for most homes and especially bedrooms.

Mi Air Purifier 2S also sports an OLED display to show consumers the air quality index on the device without always having to rely on the app. Now whether you trust that number is something else.

Dyson Pure Cool Link Tower

Dyson Pure Cool Link Tower uses an extra thick HEPA pleats filter, which allows it to filter PM 0.1 particles.

The Dyson Pure Cool Link Tower is one of the more expensive options on the list, but it also relies on a HEPA filter. The USP is its bladeless fan delivery method of filtered air, which adjusts the variable fan speed of the purifier on its own depending upon the conditions. Not to mention, the Dyson Pure Cool Link Tower looks straight out of the future.

The air purifier uses an extra thick HEPA pleats filter, which allows it to filter PM 0.1 particles which are over a 100 times smaller than PM 2.5 particles. This is a claim only Dyson is making where it can clean both large bedrooms and living rooms.

It also features a display which lets you know all of the workings of the purifier along with the details of your surroundings.
