Our verdict

Most air purifier comparisons obsess over HEPA and ignore carbon, which is a mistake if you live on an Indian arterial road. Particulates are what the number on the display measures; what makes the air actually smell of diesel is gaseous, and only a thick activated-carbon bed removes it. Honeywell puts more carbon in this machine than most rivals at the price, and if your window faces traffic you will notice the difference.

It is a large appliance and the filters are not cheap. But for a ground-floor flat on a main road, or a home near an industrial belt in Ludhiana, Kanpur or Vapi, this is the more appropriate purchase than a purifier optimised purely for PM2.5 numbers.

What we like

  • Unusually thick activated-carbon bed, which is what actually handles traffic and industrial odours
  • 3D airflow design circulates a whole room rather than just the air in front of it
  • Good coverage for a drawing room at a mid price

What we don't

  • Bulky footprint
  • Filter replacement costs are on the higher side
