The AX46 comes in subtle yet attractive Beige and Grey colours for Rs 32,990. It is a stylish and minimalist device with a one-button control that, the company claims, removes 99.97% nano-sized particles, ultrafine dust, bacteria and allergens. It can also destroy potentially dangerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including formaldehyde, effortlessly to ensure that consumers breathe pure air. The air purifier is best paired with the SmartThings app that enables the consumer to remotely control the air purifier. With this app, you can turn the air purifier on and off conveniently which saves energy.
Probing the internals, the AX46 features a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 467 cubic meters per hour. It has laser PM 1.0 sensor which senses the air quality in real time and also features a washable Pre-Filter that is designed to extract larger dust particles, an Activated Carbon Deodorisation Filter that helps removes harmful gases and a PM (particulate matter) 2.5 filter that captures up to 99.97% of ultrafine dust, viruses, and bacteria.

The air purifier’s intelligent display monitors real-time indoor air quality and shows the air purity with its 4-colour level indicator and the particulate matter (PM) 10 dust and gas sensors. Additionally, with aesthetically hidden wheels, it can be simply pushed or pulled to any location that needs more intensive purifying like the living room during the daytime or the bedroom at night, thus providing refreshingly clean air 24X7. It has a front-sided air inlet, which means it is not necessary to move or pull it away from the wall, for cleaning or changing the filter. It could be easily done by just opening the front door.
Key takeaways: The AX46 is compact, hence does not occupy much home real estate. It is incredibly quiet, hence you can have a good night’s rest. Overall, an affordable, practical solution to eliminate airborne pollutants and unpleasant smelling air.
