Honeywell - Air Touch P2

lemme share some of the research I did while choosing mine 3ish weeks ago. What you want to look at is CADR. This is measured in m3/hr so ideally you could simplify your search and choose the highest number you find in your range. The Sq ft number is not reliable in Delhi in my opinion. As my budget was also 20K i short listed the following based on what was available at local retailers nearby: 1. Honeywell P2 - 550 CADR 2. Phillips 4221/61 - 600CADR (I bought this) 3. Qubo 1000 - 600 CADR 4. Honeywell U1 - 700 CADR. (most expensive) Most people would be okay with a 550 CADR but my room is tall so i still see the AQI go to 200 at full.

Yes, an air purifier helps. The best brand is Honeywell with a HEPA filter. Second is Bionaire with True HEPA filter (purple one), third is Bionaire with the blue filter. Levoit kind of sucks. Don't waste your money on the Pure Enrichment Personal Air Purifier.

Honeywell Hepa Air Purifier is amazing all the time especially post fire. It's saved me.

For reasonable VOC removal there are only 4 players I know in the market which offer products which have the minimum 10 pounds of sorbent media: Airpura, Allerair, Austin, IQAir. Wildfires product a huge mix of chemicals - from the vegetation, contents of burned buildings, etc. There is no consumer solution that removes all VOCs. Each type of media is better at some chemicals, not so good or not effective at all with others. For the same reason there is no sensor that I know that will give you the level of all VOCs. These machines and filters tend to be expensive. I just upgraded my Austin units with Immunity Machine filters which cost \~$700 each. We were spared wildfire smoke this season but with AQI numbers breaking 100 I was able to keep my indoor values close to 0. I use Austin and IQAir VOC machines along with Honeywell and Whirlpool HEPA units, 3 filters per room.

Honeywell HEPA. Don't buy an electrostatic/ionizer type "purifier" as it creates O³ (ozone) - which is hazardous (and is also a component of smog).

Honeywell HEPA air purifiers. I have two: one in bedroom and one in the room where I spend most of my time watching TV, etc. Makes a difference for me.

I have these, as well, and they’re great. The cheap after-market filters from Amazon work perfectly for them, too.

They aren't trendy or cool, but we've had a good experience with the honeywell HEPA air purifiers. They have different options from $80 up to $250 depending on size and features.

👍Honeywell HEPA air purifiers is what we use for our trove of critters. Easy to swap the filters and has a “quiet” energy saving mode that makes very little noise so not to upset small ears. But they work really well I can contest to that lol. When i change the filters in our home it’s like a rug of small animal hairs 😂we run a large model in our living room and a smaller unit in our tv room.

My Honeywell hepa filter is about ten years old now. The filter is clogged light has been on for years though (yes I’ve replaced the filter several times) These devices really should last a long time, it’s just an electric motor.
