The verdict
The Cuckoo A Model is a Korean-made purifier with a listed 300 m³/h CADR, a three-stage filter and an LED panel for about ₹15,999. It has no app or smart control, so at this price it costs more than app-connected purifiers that list similar airflow.

In this review
How we tested
We compare every purifier on the same checklist: airflow (CADR), filters, sensing, controls, warranty and price. Specs here come from the retailer listing; our measurements are being added.
Filtration and airflow
A listed CADR of 300 to 307 m³/h and a three-stage filter are solid for a 400 sq ft room. The listing does not state the HEPA grade.
Controls
Everything is on the unit: four fan speeds, a timer and an LED panel with filter and PM2.5 indicators. There is no app or voice control.
Running costs and warranty
The warranty is one year for manufacturing defects. Cuckoo India lists a replacement filter for this model at about ₹3,290, so confirm the current price with the seller.
Should you buy it?
Choose it if you want a simple Korean-built purifier and value the build over features. At ₹15,999, the Boon Airvana and Qubo Q500 both offer an app and smart control for the same money or less.
