By use case
Indian living rooms defeat most air purifiers, and not because the machines are bad. They are usually open to a dining area, a passage and often a kitchen, which means the 'room' you are asking the purifier to clean is two or three times the volume printed on the box.
Manufacturer coverage figures assume a sealed room of that exact size with the door shut. Your hall is not that. So the practical rule for an open-plan Indian living space is to take the claimed coverage and halve it, then buy accordingly — or accept the honest alternative, which is that two mid-sized units placed at either end of the space will outperform one large one in the corner.
If you are buying one unit for a genuinely large open plan, 360-degree intake is worth paying for, because it removes placement sensitivity entirely. The LG PuriCare 360° at 968 sq ft is the strongest single-unit answer here.
