Friends
Has anyone used a water based air filter/purifier like below
https://www.amazon.in/Fragair-Portable-Purifier-Humidifier-Revitalizer/dp/B07HM8Z5LS/ref=asc_df_B07HM8Z5LS/?tag=googleshopdes-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=397005671440&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7198495262120440936&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9062047&hvtargid=pla-862804403887&psc=1&ext_vrnc=hi

In principle, it seems to work. It draws air and passes it through water where the dust and other soluble gases get trapped. Just wanted to know if anyone has used it.

Regardless of the concept, it doesn't look big enough to do anything.  Most filter-based air purifiers move a fair bit of air because you have to get all of the air in the room through the filter in a reasonable amount of time to have any hope of doing anything useful even in a closed room.  In a room that is actually used, people tend to come in and out, so that increases the required air cycle to be any use because air is getting introduced from outside the room

Some one posted an image of the water after running for a day and it was murky like the outlet from a washing machine. Not sure if it was morphed or he added some additional dirt into the water. Anyways I will order one and try it out. It is cheap. If it doesn't work as an air filter, I might use it to make milkshakes..

It does not look cheap at all - maybe cheap to produce.  Cleaning the air with water is tricky, as the water reservoir can be a breading ground for bacteria / fungi.  It may work the first week or so, but later chances are it would cause more problems than good.

Could be a chain smoker (not the band). Thar would make a mess of any filter.

Put a little bleach, peroxide, pool chlorine, or other sterilizing agent into the water.
