Highly effective air purifiers for highly polluted regions
Air purifiers have become a modern-day necessity in many of the highly polluted areas in our country. An increase in pollutants during festive seasons also make them all the more important to have. However, just getting any air purifier might not be enough. You need to get one that has enough power to deliver clean air effectively for your room. The best way to ensure that is to go for options with a high clean air delivery rate (CADR). We’ve picked out some options available on Amazon that sport a high CADR as well as several other impressive features and specifications.
Honeywell Air Purifier i9
The simple touch panel on top of the Honeywell purifier makes controlling it quite convenient. For instance, to run it in auto-mode, all you need to do is touch the power button. The manual mode allows you to set fan speed, toggle sleep, lock modes and more. The model comes with smart features like the ability to operate the purifier according to the detected pollution level, and even turning it off when the levels are satisfactory. It also lets you know when the filters need to be replaced. The anti-fall design keeps the model protected in the event of an accidental fall.
Blue Star BS-AP300DAI
With a high CADR of 444m3/hr, the Blue Star air purifier packs a lot of power. It comes with the Microbe DeActive+ technology which aims to disable bacteria, mould, pollen and more, helping your indoor environment be pollutant-free. The HEPA filter on the model aims to capture bacteria up to PM 2.5 and dust particles. This combines with the 3-stage purification system to help deliver clean air in your room. The air quality sensor on the Blue Star air purifier helps the model stay aware of the pollution levels in your room at all times, which allows it to optimise its performance for best results automatically.
Dyson Pure Cool Link Tower
With the Air Multiplier technology, the Dyson Pure Cool Link Tower air purifier does more than just purify your air – it aims to circulate it around the room. It also uses a lower face velocity with a higher efficiency HEPA filter, which helps it reduce the number of ultrafine pollutants that return to the room after the filtration process. The filter in use is a 360 degree Glass HEPA filter that aims to capture 99.95% of pollutants and allergens as small as 0.1 microns. The Dyson Link app constantly shows you the air quality in your room in realtime as it is detected by the purifier.
Philips High Efficiency Air Purifier AC2887
To offer a comfortable night of sleep without losing out on pure air, the Philips Air Purifier aims for low noise levels of 20.5dba in silent mode. The model comes with three auto modes – General, Allergen, and Bacteria & Virus – which allows you to customise its performance without requiring a lot of tweaking. To avoid light disturbance, the model will enable you to dim or disable the AQI and the light on the UI. If you choose to keep it on, you will be able to see realtime PM 2.5 readings, which keep you aware of the pollution levels around you at all times. The VitaShield IPS technology keeps you protected from particles as small as 20nm, eliminating harmful gases such as formaldehyde, TVOC and odour.
