You can also consider coway if iot is not important. Good purifier.

Mini reviews of different Air Purifier models I have owned

Sqair Air Purifier I like this one. This is a no frills model. There is no sensor. No automation. Not even any indicator light. The power knob is at the top which means you cannot even tell if it’s on unless the sound from the fan is audible. I like the design of this device as it does not look...

Don't forget to compare the cost of filter replacements as well. Sharp for example has really good air purifiers but their filter cost is extortionate.

@Sushubh iot is not very necessary for me , it should just be silent enough not to disturb the sleep. for coway I cant find their replacement filters where did you used to buy them ? Amazon has some but they are priced too high
mainly will use the one for me during night only , and one in my mothers room will be running most of time
So looking for 2 models .

Coway filters are same price on their website and Amazon. For the model I have, HEPA costs around 3K and Carbon costs around 1.5. I do not replace carbon every single time.

Do check the filter costings for the Philips model you are considering.

I have not seen anyone in my friend circle complain about inaccurate readings or any other issues wrt to Philips purifiers.

Filter availibility and after sales support shouldn't be a problem either.

going one with coway and the other Philips lets see which is more silent.
philips filter is 2k for hepa and 1.5k for carbon/ dont know its life but will try.

Reeceived the Philips one today but thanks to Amazon its completely broken it will turn on but the motor blade is broken.
Amazon really need to up their quality check, they have ordered a replacement

i keep it on auto through the day but one during the night. i really do not like changing speed/noise during the night. also try to keep a line space between text and image embeds.

one is quite silent and effective on this model. sleep is fine if you really do not like any noise while sleeping. but it is not going to do much during the worst days during november. but still better than nothing.

also keep an eye on the prefilter in front on this model. do not wait for the warning light tbh. just clean it if you see enough dust on it. wash it with water. it's designed to be hung on front panel for drying which is very nice compared to other models. after it is dry, put it back.
