Best air purifier under ₹10,000: what to check before you buy
Air quality drops in October and November in many Indian cities. This checklist helps you choose a purifier that really works, then compare today's real prices.
1. True HEPA filter
Look for 'True HEPA' or 'H13 HEPA'. Words like 'HEPA-type' are weaker.
2. CADR for your room
Match the CADR to your room size. A small purifier in a big hall will not clean the air well.
3. Filter cost
Check how much the replacement filter costs and how easy it is to buy. A cheap machine with expensive filters costs more over time.
4. Noise and night mode
For bedrooms, check the noise on low speed and whether it has a sleep mode with lights off.
5. Extras that help
A PM2.5 display and auto mode are useful. App control is nice but not needed.
Frequently asked questions
Does an air purifier really help?
A purifier with a true HEPA (H13) filter removes most fine dust (PM2.5) in a closed room. Keep windows and doors closed while it runs.
What CADR do I need?
Pick a CADR rated for your room size — the box usually lists the room area it covers. A bigger room needs a higher CADR.
How often do I change the filter?
Usually every 6–12 months, depending on pollution. Check the replacement filter price before buying — it is a running cost.
Where can I find the lowest air purifier price?
Search the exact model on GetMyPrice to compare live prices across Amazon, Flipkart, Croma and more.
