By room · Ghaziabad
TDS and AQI figures on this page are indicative planning ranges compiled from publicly reported patterns for this city — not live readings. Actual values vary by locality, borewell depth and season. Test your own supply with a TDS meter (around ₹300), and get a laboratory analysis if you suspect arsenic, fluoride, nitrate or iron.
Large rooms are where under-specified purifiers are exposed. A unit that copes in a 120 sq ft bedroom simply cannot turn over the air in a 400 sq ft living room often enough to matter, and in Ghaziabad — averaging AQI 198 with peaks near 430 — "often enough" is a demanding standard.
Work from CADR rather than the claimed coverage figure. As a rule of thumb, you want a clean-air delivery rate that gives you four to five air changes an hour in the actual room volume. At Ghaziabad's winter levels, five is the floor rather than the target, because the room is being re-polluted continuously through every gap in the envelope. Manufacturer coverage claims typically assume two changes an hour, which is why they look so generous.
Open-plan spaces need a second adjustment. If your living room flows into a dining area or a kitchen, you are treating the combined volume, not the room you measured — and a kitchen adds its own particulate load every time someone cooks. Size for the whole connected space, or accept that the unit is fighting a losing battle every evening.
In Ghaziabad, pm2.5 from industry, traffic and construction means a meaningful gaseous fraction that HEPA does not remove, so carbon bed depth matters as much as raw airflow here. Expect filter life of a third to a half of the rated figure.
Scored against Ghaziabad's air — an annual average near AQI 198 and winter peaks around 430.
The sensible default for most Indian homes
The value benchmark nobody has beaten
360-degree intake for large open living spaces
Fully-sealed HEPA H13, formaldehyde destruction, and a fan
Big coverage backed by India's deepest service network
Thick carbon bed built for Indian traffic pollution
Large-room coverage from a cooling specialist
Streamer discharge that decomposes odours rather than trapping them
Target four to five air changes an hour for Ghaziabad's conditions. Multiply floor area by ceiling height, then check the CADR figure gives you that — do not rely on the marketing coverage number.
If the room connects to a dining area or kitchen, size for the combined volume. This is the single most common reason a large-room purifier underperforms in practice.
A large-room unit spends most of its life on medium or high, not on sleep mode. Check the dB figure at the speed you will actually run it in a room where people are talking or watching television.
In Ghaziabad a real number beats a colour ring. It tells you when cooking or an open window has spiked the room, and it is how you learn what actually pollutes your home rather than guessing.
Large-room filters are physically bigger and cost more, and at a third to a half of the rated figure in Ghaziabad you will buy them more often. Check the replacement price before the purchase price.

Air purifiers have almost no service requirement beyond filters — which is precisely why the filter is the decision. In Ghaziabad, at an annual average of AQI 198, expect genuine filter life of a third to a half of the manufacturer's rating.
