Every winter, cities like Delhi, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram turn into gas chambers. It’s not unusual to see the AQI cross 700, which falls under the “Severe+” category — the worst possible air quality rating.
At these levels, even healthy people can experience breathing difficulties, eye irritation, and fatigue. And for children, the elderly, and those with asthma or heart conditions, the risks are far more serious.
The problem is, shutting windows doesn’t help much — indoor air can often be as polluted as outdoor air, especially in urban Indian homes. That’s where air purifiers come in — and one that’s designed keeping Indian pollution levels in mind is the Nuevo Inhale Prime.
Nuevo Inhale Prime Air Purifier: Designed for Indian Conditions
The Nuevo Inhale Prime isn’t just another generic purifier — it’s built specifically for Indian air quality, focusing on dust, smoke, and seasonal pollution that dominate NCR homes.
Design and Display
The Inhale Prime has a minimal, space-efficient design that fits easily into bedrooms or small living rooms.
It’s 40 cm tall, with a modern matte finish that blends well with most interiors.
Up front, there’s a large LED screen — one of the biggest in this range — showing real-time AQI readings. This helps you track how your indoor air improves within minutes of turning it on.
There’s also an ambient color light around the display that changes based on air quality — green for clean air, red for polluted — so you can check the AQI at a glance.
Filtration System: Three Layers of Protection
Nuevo uses a 3-stage filtration setup, tuned for Indian pollution patterns:
- Pre-Filter – Traps visible dust, pet hair, and lint.
- Activated Carbon Filter – Absorbs smoke, cooking smells, and harmful gases like VOCs.
- HEPA 13 Filter – Captures 99.97% of fine particles, including PM2.5, pollen, and allergens.
With a CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) of 200 m³/hr, the Inhale Prime is effective for rooms up to 350–400 sq.ft., perfect for a medium bedroom or study.
Features That Make Daily Use Easy
Despite being compact, Nuevo has packed in several thoughtful features:
- Auto Mode – Adjusts fan speed based on real-time air quality.
- Sleep Mode – Keeps noise below 35 dB for quiet nights.
- Timer Function – Schedule operation for specific hours.
- Child Lock – Prevents accidental button presses.
- Filter Replacement Reminder – Notifies when filters need changing.
It’s practical, straightforward, and avoids unnecessary “smart” gimmicks.
Performance in Delhi NCR Conditions
In real use, the Inhale Prime performs well in polluted environments. It can bring AQI from 300+ down to below 50 within an hour in a closed 300 sq.ft. room — an impressive result for this segment.
The HEPA 13 filter does most of the heavy lifting, capturing fine dust and PM2.5 from Delhi’s smog, while the carbon filter effectively neutralizes kitchen and smoke odors.
Most importantly, it does all this quietly, even during Sleep Mode, which makes it easy to keep running overnight.
Verdict
The Nuevo Inhale Prime Air Purifier focuses on the essentials — effective filtration, real-time AQI feedback, and quiet operation — without inflating the price with unnecessary smart features.
If you live in Delhi NCR or any city where AQI regularly crosses 500–700, this purifier offers a clean-air solution that’s both practical and affordable.
