Five Air Purifiers You Can Buy Under Rs 10,000
Top 5 air purifiers under Rs 10,000 you can consider.
If you are a Delhi/NCR resident, the view outside your window is surely not pleasing. Almost looks like the apocalypse right? This is what a few firecrackers, burnt crops and almost a million cars can do to a city and its neighbours.
The pollution in the city has reached hazardous levels and walking in the streets of Delhi is reportedly equivalent to smoking 50 cigarettes a day!
And the worst part is, we can’t run from this.
In time, things might get better but for now it’s essential we take matters into our own hands. Or rather, our own pockets.
So, here are 5 budget air purifiers that you can consider, without breaking the bank.
