Q.Moonbow Car Air Purifier Launched

A must have car accessory in one of the India’s, maybe world’s most polluted city is an air purifier. Gurugram/New Delhi is notorious for its pathetic air-quality and also happens to be the place I work/live. The one & half year I have been staying in the city, I can surely feel that my respiratory and immune system has gone for a toss. So, when Moonbow send across its new car air purifier, I jumped on the opportunity to test it, and maybe feel a little relief from this maddening pollution.

[IMG]https://media.zigcdn.com/forum/filedata/fetch?filedataid=11200&type=large[/IMG] You can also hang it behind the headrest of any seat with the strap and pins provided. [IMG]https://media.zigcdn.com/forum/filedata/fetch?filedataid=11203&type=large[/IMG] The charging pin connects to the car's 12V socket without any fuss. There is an on-off switch also provided on the pin that lights up.

[IMG]https://media.zigcdn.com/forum/filedata/fetch?filedataid=11204&type=large[/IMG] According to the manual provided, the Moonbow purifier comes with pre-filter, activated carbon filter, HEPA filter and refreshing energizer helping it to eliminate odour, dust and germs from the air. High-density energizer generates negative ions, which purify the surrounding air quickly (in 30 seconds approx). [IMG]https://media.zigcdn.com/forum/filedata/fetch?filedataid=11205&type=large[/IMG]There is a highly sensitive air sensor that detects the air quality and indicates the purity of air in three different colours- Red, Blue and Green (increasing order of air purity). HEPA filter with activated carbon purifies the air and as mentioned the fan speed adjusts automatically as per the air quality. The three filters effectively do the job and you can feel the difference in 3-4 minutes of switching the purifier on. If the statistics claimed are to be believed the 4-stage purification results in 99 percent efficiency in trapping all allergens and airborne contaminants down to 0.3. We also tested odour by smoking a cigarette (smoking is injurious to health) in the car with the windows rolled up, the purifier did suck in the smoke effectively and did away with the odour in no time. [IMG]https://media.zigcdn.com/forum/filedata/fetch?filedataid=11207&type=large[/IMG] Moonbow provides 1-year warranty for the device and the filter is claimed to last 1000 hours. Even replacement is easy as you can unlock the top lid and get the filter set out less than 30 seconds. There are no arguments that a car air purifier is required in a metro city like Delhi/Gurugram and Moonbow air purifier appears to be a good deal. The prices have dropped significantly after the launch, so you can have one today ordered from Amazon.in at Rs 2999. It’s hard to put a price on the air we breathe, but for someone living in a polluted city like Gurugram, it’s worth the money any given day. I am ordering one!
