Air Purifiers

Lahore's smog season and year-round construction dust make indoor air quality a practical problem, not a luxury concern. AppliMart stocks five genuine air purifiers from Philips and Hitachi, covering rooms from 350 sq ft up to 840 sq ft, all with true HEPA filtration and PM2.5 handling. Choosing by room size: the Philips Series 800 (Rs 65,000) suits bedrooms and study rooms up to 48 m². The Philips Series 1000 (Rs 109,500) handles living rooms up to 78 m² at 300 m³/h CADR. For dry winter rooms and air-conditioned spaces, the Japanese-built Hitachi EP-P50J adds humidification across 350 sq ft, and the Hitachi EP-A6000 covers 495 sq ft with an H13 HEPA filter and a 15 dB silent mode.

What to check before you buy

Coverage area. An undersized purifier runs constantly and still fails to clean the room. Match the rated area to your actual room, not the room you wish you had. Filter type. True HEPA captures PM2.5, dust and pollen. Activated carbon handles smoke and cooking odours. A pre-filter extends the life of both. Every model here uses at least a two-stage system. CADR. Clean Air Delivery Rate tells you how fast the unit turns the room's air over. Higher matters more in Lahore than it does in a low-pollution city. Noise. For bedrooms, look at the sleep-mode figure, not the maximum. The Philips Series 800 runs at 19 dB in sleep mode; the Hitachi EP-A6000 at 15 dB. Filter replacement. Ask about the replacement part number and interval before you buy, not after. Philips uses FY0900 (Series 800) and FY1700/30 (Series 1000). Hitachi's H13 HEPA on the EP-A6000 is rated to around eight years.

Frequently asked questions

What size air purifier do I need?

Match the rated coverage to your room. As a guide: up to 300 sq ft for a small bedroom or study, 350 to 400 sq ft for a standard bedroom, and 500 sq ft or more for a lounge or open-plan space. An undersized unit runs constantly and still underperforms.

Do air purifiers help with Lahore smog?

A true HEPA filter captures the fine PM2.5 particles that make up smog. It cannot clean outdoor air, and it works best with doors and windows closed, but it can meaningfully improve the air inside a closed room.

Does an air purifier remove humidity?

No. A standard purifier only filters particles. If you also need moisture control, the Hitachi EP-P50J and EP-A6000 combine purification with humidification.

What is the cheapest air purifier at AppliMart?

The Philips Series 800 Compact AC0819/90 at Rs 65,000.

Do you deliver air purifiers in Lahore?

Yes. Delivery is available in Lahore and nationwide; a 20% advance confirms the order.
