Honeywell Air Touch V3 Review | Basic but effective air purifier for first time buyers

The Hindu reviewed Honeywell’s Air Touch V3, an air purifier geared towards smaller homes and rooms.

A good air purifier should feel like a magician’s tool; leave it in a dusty, stale-smelling room to do its work and wait for an airy and odourless space in return. On the other end of the spectrum, a bad air purifier is an eyesore that guzzles up electricity and makes too much noise without improving your surroundings.

So what should a first time buyer look out for?

We had the opportunity to review Honeywell’s Air Touch V3, an air purifier geared towards smaller homes and rooms. Here’s what we discovered.

The Honeywell Air Touch V3 isn’t what you would call sleek or stylish, but its neutral build makes it easy to overlook in almost any room. The boxy device is a glossy white that roughly reaches your knees. Lightweight and easy to move around, it has a recessed handle at the back for convenient lifting. All the touch controls are at the top, while a circular indicator light and the brand name are placed on the front of the device.

Lifting the plastic front panel allows you to access the filters. Remember to remove the protective sheeting from them before starting your device. Plug in the air purifier, tap the on/off switch, and the Honeywell Air Touch V3 will take care of the rest; there are no fiddly set-up controls or online accounts to create first.

The device does not come with an accompanying app (as there is no Wi-Fi support) or a remote controller.
