Today, air purifiers have become a need more than a want. With the ever-rising pollution in the country, it has become necessary to protect oneself from the hazardous effects of pollutants. Air purifiers bridge the gap by providing clean and fresh air for a healthy living. Keeping the needs of people in the mind, these products are designed to work effectively in reducing all sorts of pollutants from the air. Indoor air is far worse than outdoor air because pollutants are stuck inside a contained space, making our homes and offices more polluted. To keep oneself safe from the degrading air quality, an air purifier is an essential buy, rather than an exquisite piece of technology set in a corner.

However, there are a plethora of air purifiers available in the market today, with distinct functions and technologies. Today, we will compare two best-selling products in the market – KENT Alps and Mi Air Purifier 2, and see how they compare against one another.

The size of the room where an air purifier will be employed matters the most. It should be the first consideration when you are looking out for an air purifier. Make sure you buy an air purifier which works well for a larger space than your room.

Verdict – KENT Alps covers more area and is hence better suited for larger rooms or regions where air quality is significantly poor.

 

The technology on which the air purifier works should be your primary concern. A filter is the fundamental part of any air filter, and it filters out pollen, dust, smoke and mold from the air. HEPA is the most reliable technology and is used extensively in air purifiers because of its high efficiency.

CADR or Clean Air Delivery Rate is the rate at which an air purifier cleans the air where it is employed. Technically, the higher the CADR, the better an air purifier.
