How to choose the right air purifier this Diwali
The Hindu
An air purifier can be a device to protect not just your health, but elevate your living space as well.
While there are many Indians who look forward to Diwali and firecrackers, there are others who know all too well how the blend of smoke, air pollution, and winter weather can trigger everything from mild allergies to life-threatening asthma attacks. For those who want to safely ride out the festival season and the winter months, investing in an air purifier can be a great way to protect not just your health but elevate your living space as well.
Though your first instinct might be to visit an e-commerce platform and pick the top-rated air purifier that is on sale, even a high-end product might end up being a disappointment if you do not first consider some essential factors.
Let’s take a look at them.
Air purifiers can cover hundreds of square feet, but they are not made equally.
An air purifier that is meant to cleanse an industrial set-up or a large hall could look out of place in a compact bedroom and might even make the space feel dry. On the other hand, a personal air purifier might not help you out much in a large and busy kitchen.
Know the square foot area of the room where the air purifier will be plugged in, and shop accordingly. In case you live in a house with multiple levels, invest in a light-weight air purifier that can be easily moved around and plugged into different outlets.
If you spend most of your time on the road, commuting from the calm suburbs to a smoky urban centre, you might actually benefit more from a car air purifier.
