The deciding factors
There are two genuinely defensible reasons to spend ₹55,000 here, and neither is the one Dyson's advertising leads with. The first is the fully-sealed HEPA H13 system: most purifiers have an H13 filter but a body that lets some air sneak around it, and Dyson certifies the whole machine. The second is formaldehyde, which is a real problem in homes with new engineered-wood furniture, and which Dyson destroys catalytically rather than trapping in a filter you must keep buying.
Against that, LG PuriCare 360° AS60GDWV0 makes its case differently: Most air purifiers pull air from one face, which means placement matters enormously and a unit shoved into a corner underperforms badly. LG's 360-degree intake removes that constraint, and combined with the Clean Booster fan it is the only single unit here I would trust to handle a genuinely large open-plan living and dining space.
Our practical advice: unless the Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde TP09's specific advantages match a real constraint you have — tank size for long water cuts, a higher TDS rating for brackish supply, hot water you will genuinely use — the cheaper unit is the better purchase. In this category, paying for capability you will never use is the most common way money gets wasted.
