Direct answer: is the Honeywell Air Touch i8 Air Purifier with H13 HEPA and Pre-Filter right for you?
The washable pre-filter is the reason to consider this over higher-CADR rivals in genuinely dusty Indian conditions -- it catches the coarse dust that otherwise clogs an expensive HEPA in months, and it rinses under a tap.
Honeywell Air Touch i8 Air Purifier with H13 HEPA and Pre-Filter
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: The washable pre-filter is the reason to consider this over higher-CADR rivals in genuinely dusty Indian conditions -- it catches the coarse dust that otherwise clogs an expensive HEPA in months, and it rinses under a tap. Against that, it draws 55 W to move less air than the Xiaomi does at 33 W, and there is no app at all, so filter tracking is a light on the front panel.
Who should buy this
Anyone in dusty conditions where a washable pre-filter meaningfully extends HEPA life.
Who should avoid this
Anyone wanting app control or scheduling -- this has neither.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone wanting app control or scheduling — this has neither. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Be ready for one thing — 55 W for 300 m3/h
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: 55 W for 300 m3/h, less efficient than rivals at 33 W for 400. No app, no Wi-Fi, no scheduling. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Washable pre-filter substantially extends HEPA life in dusty air. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

No notes
Washable pre-filter substantially extends HEPA life in dusty air. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Three-stage filtration with a genuine H13 HEPA. Been using it now for three months.

Specs match the listing
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Annual running cost". The page says Roughly Rs4,200 — Rs2,800 filters plus about Rs1,400 of electricity at 8 hours a day, and that is what turned up. Washable pre-filter substantially extends HEPA life in dusty air.

Happy with it, but go in informed
Washable pre-filter substantially extends HEPA life in dusty air. The one thing to know before ordering: 55 W for 300 m3/h, less efficient than rivals at 33 W for 400. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.
