We have curated the top 5 car air purifiers available on the Amazon India store. With rising air pollution & the spread of Coronavirus, it is highly recommended to use car air purifiers, as we may not be able to see the harmful pollutants visually; but the polluted air, exhaust smoke, harmful fumes in the car, pose a serious impact on our health. The use of car air purifiers significantly improves the air quality in the car cabin and reduces our exposure to polluted air.
Let us begin with our selection of Top 5 Car Air Purifiers –
1. Reffair AX 30 Portable Air Purifer
The Reffair AX30 is the #1 best-selling air purifier on Amazon store for cars, priced at Rs 2,469/-. This air purifier comes with an H13 High efficiency particulate absorption (HEPA) filter for advanced air purification & negative ionisation technology. Ionisers alone, fail to purify various types of pollutants, odour, smoke & gases. Their purification efficiency also has no proven test results. Hence with the combined use of the H13 HEPA filter & negative ionisation technology, the purifier can provide much better purification than ionizers.
This product also works as an air freshener as the product comes with aroma buds & pads for purified and refreshed air.
This air purifier does not use a power bank based battery, instead relies only on the car’s battery as a power source to avoid any battery related hazards. The product also comes with a 1-year warranty from the manufacturer.
Although keep in mind, the life of the air filter is suggested to be six months, so you will have to replace the filter for optimum purification. The genuine replacement for the air filter is easily available as it is sold by the manufacturer on the Amazon store for Rs 500.
Highlights:
- Weight – 240 grams
- Dimensions- 17cm x 9cm
- Warranty – 1 year
- Filter Type – High Efficiency Particulate Absorption (HEPA)
2. Aurapuro Car Air Purifier With Ioniser
The Aurapro car air purifier also uses HEPA filters for air purification like the Reffair purifier. The Activated Carbon-based filter promises to absorb harmful allergens, smoke & odour. The Aurapuro purifier also releases Negative Ions, which are tasteless molecules that are breathed into our respiratory system. These negative ions are naturally found around mountains and beaches where we naturally feel energized and relaxed. The purified air consisting of these negative ions help us reduce the stress levels along with less exposure to allergens.
These negative ions are released from the purifier which forms a cluster and attaches over the dust particles and allergens, the increased density and weight over the dust particles brings them down on the cabin floor, so they do not fly around in the cabin. With the dust particles not circulating in the cabin, you are left with purified and freshened air to breathe in.
This purifier can be placed either over the dashboard or can be hung behind the headrest for distraction-free driving and well circulation of purified air. The purifier also comes with a slot where you can add liquified perfumes to freshen the air in the cabin.
The only cons of the Aurapuro purifier would be the difficulty in finding the replacement air filter for this purifier.
Highlights:
- Dimensions-18.5 x 12.4 x 6.5 Centimeters
- Warranty – Upto 2 years
- Filter Type – High Efficiency Particulate Absorption (HEPA)
