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?
