By budget
Under ₹20,000 is where the two best-selling purifiers in India live — the KENT Grand Plus and the Aquaguard Delight NXT — and where most families should be shopping. Both handle input TDS up to 2,000 ppm, both include TDS control, and both are backed by the two strongest service networks in the country.
The choice between them comes down to two variables. Tank size: KENT gives you 9 litres, Aquaguard 6 litres, which matters a great deal if your area has long water cuts. And footprint: the Aquaguard is substantially more compact and better looking, which matters if your kitchen wall is already crowded.
Also in this band, the Pureit Marvella RO offers the best instrumentation with a genuine filter-life countdown, and Havells' alkaline model brings adjustable pH if that is what you are after.
