Air purifier Philips AC2889 / 10: is it worth buying?

The test-winning air purifier from Philips is available at Amazon at the currently cheapest online price. But not everyone can or wants to pay 350 euros, especially since there are cheap alternatives from 70 euros. However, these do not purify the air as thoroughly as the Philips AC2889 / 10. However, they may be sufficient for small rooms, such as children’s or study rooms. In short: If you are looking for quality, you should go for the test winner, if you do not have too high demands, a cheaper device will do.
