Brand: Daikin
Streamer discharge that decomposes odours rather than trapping them
Our editorial score
Very good — recommended
Long-term owners who would rather clean a filter than keep buying them.
Look at the running cost line: ₹1,800 a year against ₹3,500-6,500 for most rivals. Daikin's electrostatic HEPA is rated for up to a decade provided you actually vacuum and wash it on schedule, and the Streamer discharge breaks down what the filter has captured rather than letting it sit there breeding. Over five years of ownership this is one of the cheapest purifiers here despite the sticker price.
The condition attached matters. Skip the cleaning schedule and you get a clogged filter and mediocre performance. If you are the kind of owner who will follow it, this is a genuinely smart long-term purchase.
