I am looking to buy two air purifiers for bedrooms. What are the running costs , are there any deals going on in the current Amazon/Flipkart sales.
Is this a good deal for Philips 1715 https://www.flipkart.com/philips-ac-1715-60-portable-room-air-purifier/p/itm7766f7e03e74e
This is a great air purifier. I bought this model 11 months ago for 11.3k on amazon. The main deciding factors should be HEPA 99.9% filter and this model has that.
Other requirements are being able to clean the filters and this one is fairly easy to clean with vaccum (not washable).
Sensor -
It has a very good sensor. I have this in my bedroom, and when someone fries something in the kitchen this aur purifier instantly detects high particles in my room (20 feet away from kitchen).
I apply the Moov spray and the air purifier instantly spins in turbo speed due to high allergens in the air.
Dust -
The filter accumulates a lot of dust but there is still plenty of dust in my room (ground floor). Probably because I run it only in speed 1 or auto.
Running cost -
Filters -
I run it in a schedule 6PM to 12PM next day, everyday, for a year now. The filters are still 70% good. But cleaning once 2-3 months is needed. The filter lasts 2-3 years easily at this rate. Replacement cost is around 4k i think.
Power -
The max consumption is 35W in turbo but it’s too noisy and the suction is very powerful. It’s recommended to leave it at Auto so it can adjust accordingly.
I run it at Speed 1 continuously which is 7-10 watts, there’s sleep mode at 5W but I don’t think it really helps.
