Air pollution in several cities in India is at the highest level in history, and people exposed to the air are at risk of various health diseases. When simply breathing the surrounding air becomes a health hazard, steering technology may be the only option for many people. Therefore, air purifiers have become a necessity for people.

For those who don't know, air purifiers are just what the name suggests-they tend to clean the air in confined spaces. This is achieved by removing particles present in the air, which we usually call particulate matter or PM, which represents the air quality of an area. In addition, the air purifier will sterilize the air as it flows through.

Of course, the degree of purification depends on the type of air purifier you choose. Some have HEPA filters and promise to remove more than 99% of particulate matter from the air. Others also use other technologies, such as ultraviolet filtering, ion generator purification, and so on.

There are other factors that should also influence your decision. For example, the size of the room where you plan to use an air purifier will determine the equipment capacity you should choose. Entry-level air purifiers can be used in standard rooms with room sizes ranging from 200 square feet to 350 square feet. Larger rooms require larger air purifiers, with higher CADR or clean air delivery rates.

Here, we are focusing on entry-level air purifiers priced below 10,000 rupees in India today. After the hype during the Covid-19 pandemic last year, among the many choices on the market, the following are our top choices for air purifiers in India.
