Breathe Easier: 5 Air Purifiers Under Rs 10,000 to Combat Air Pollution!

Air purifiers were once considered a luxury but now they have become almost a necessity in North India mainly due to the overwhelming air pollution crisis in Delhi NCR and its surrounding areas. Not only do these devices help you breathe clean air, but they also reduce dust levels and other problems like pet dander. This can be a huge relief for anyone, but it is especially important for people with conditions such as asthma.

It’s no secret that air purifiers can be expensive—especially ones with all the bells and whistles. But in recent years, more and more brands have started offering affordable air purifiers that can still clean your home’s air, even of PM2.5 particles, excellently. So if you’re looking for an air purifier that won’t break the bank, there are definitely options out there.

Here, let’s take a look at some of the best air purifiers available under Rs 10,000. Remember that air purifiers are not “one size fits all” – different models have different filtration capabilities and coverage areas. So, before you make a decision, make sure that the cleaning device you choose can effectively remove the main impurities and adequately cover the size of the area to be cleaned.
