Buying tip
For just Rs 1,000 more than the KENT, the Sharp adds an entire technology layer - Plasmacluster Ion neutralization of airborne pathogens. During flu season or pandemic situations, this Rs 1,000 investment provides active virus deactivation that no HEPA-only purifier (including the KENT) can deliver. It is perhaps the best Rs 1,000 upgrade in this entire comparison range.

Quick answers
The Sharp for Rs 1,000 more gives you Plasmacluster technology, quieter operation (23 vs 40 dB), and lower power consumption (27W vs 60W). The only advantage of the KENT is its pan-India service network and marginally lower price. For performance per rupee, the Sharp wins.
Absolutely. Plasmacluster ions actively neutralize airborne bacteria and viruses - a capability that HEPA filters do not have. For Rs 1,000, you add a clinically verified pathogen protection layer. This is one of the best value upgrades available in budget air purifiers.
The Sharp at 27W uses less than half the KENT's 60W. Running 12 hours daily, the Sharp costs about Rs 80/month vs KENT's Rs 180/month - the Sharp saves Rs 100/month in electricity. Over one year, electricity savings alone (Rs 1,200) exceed the Rs 1,000 price difference.
