true, malaysia humidity is already high as first video 70%. However, when air con is on, that is a different case 50%+. I believe some of u experience dry skin when you are in air-conditioned room, that is why ppl invest on diffuser and apply lotion

With venta, humidity is only 56 - 58% as per video, this is good enough already.

If coway cost more than rm1k, u might as well get branded high end air purifier like bluair.
Dont forget to compart the clear air delivery n area it can cover

Friend use Xiaomi more than 2 years. Still functioning good.

Just remind to change the air filter.

The filter roughly cost how much? Philips? Sharp?

u may check the model and check price in lazada for the replacement

This how they tested the air purifier and u need to pay to read or to the get full article

Just upgrade my Sharp humidifier with a smart module that will turn on at a set humidity and also link to my aircon. Now I hv a temp and humidity control room

Anyone know where I can get replacement filter for my Coway Lombok II?

From Coway Rep/Company?

Thinking of getting the Sharp Air Purifier FPJ60LW. Any thoughts?

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/sharp-ai...dCMD2P&search=1

It is between that and the KCG60LW which is a purifier + humidifier. Leaning more towards the FPJ60LW due to the particle matter sensor, higher airflow and quieter operation. It has a higher plasmacluster ion count as well (25,000 vs 7,000)

A quick call to the Sharp service centre revealed that for the FPJ60LW, it costs RM350 for the HEPA filter and RM185 for the carbon filter. She mentioned that the HEPA and carbon filters should each last 2-3 years which I find weird because the specifications sheet stated "up to 2 years".

Also, I was reading some earlier discussion that it's not realistic for HEPA filters to last more than 1 year? IMHO, doesn't it depend a lot on the size of the filter itself and its usage? Smaller purifiers have much smaller HEPA filters compared to bigger units and thus, gets clogged up faster and needing a change of filter much faster.

Realistically, how long could the HEPA filter last before needing to change it? Will be regularly cleaning the pre-filter so I hope the HEPA filter could really last for 2 years.

Might as well buy Mi Purifier Pro?

yes. much more cheaper and easy to find and replace parts by yourself.

The Mi Purifier Pro is actually quite a bit noisier at the lowest fan setting (34dB vs Sharp's 15dB) and the highest fan setting (55dB with 500m3/h airflow vs Sharp's 43dB with 400m3/h airflow) and I would be using the purifier throughout the night.

Xiaomi has known issues with its particle matter sensor which cripples the auto mode as well.

Also Xiaomi purifiers lack the ionisation feature which I'm really quite interested to try out.

I'm using the Mi Purifier 3H, spec written noise lowest is 32.1, but I can't heard anything pun. I got another one is Atmosphere Gen 2 lowest is also around 34 iinm. Also not noticeable.

Also, so far I haven't have any issues with the particle sensors since I run manual speed.

Lastly, ionization is just some fancy feature like hot and cold water from water purifier. A proper air purifier must come with True HEPA filter that does the job done.

if want zero maintenance cost and low noise, consider venta

how;s the performance of 3h? which location are u using? room or hall?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/f4...lters_possible/

Hey, just wondering since you're using the 3H. Is it possible to continue using the filter past the "150 days period" ?

Hearing a lot of mixed reviews online saying that the machine keeps giving errors, turns off by itself unless you change the filter. This is mainly due to the RFID chip (?)

I still got 80%/118 days left. So let you know again after end of 150 days. lol

Im noob in this air filter. I plan to buy min 3 unit, one cover living room, and 2 small unit covers bedroom. Is this excessive?

FYI, i am asthamatic and allergic to dust. And so is my kid. That's why i plan to put one in each bedroom.

So, I need HEPA filter and carbon filter right?

What is the recommended model? I dunt mind spending a little bit for better air quality. I've been suffering long enough.

Thanks sifu.

Thanks for the update!

Btw, I just ordered a 2H!

Might probably just get one unit to cover the bedroom? Most purifiers should be able to cover like 200-350 sq feet.

HEPA filter is bare minimum but a carbon filter is optional IMHO but most purifiers come with it.

I would advise to focus more on the running costs of maintaining the purifier, i.e. the filters. They're usually expensive.

Other factors to consider is size, noise at each fan level, whether it has pre-filter (to extend the life of the HEPA filter), ionisation tech like Sharp/Panasonic, app support.

Do not trust when manufacturers say the filters can last up to x years.

For some odd reason, the higher end Sharp purifiers like the FPJ60LW or their humidyfing range, KCG40LW/KCG50LW/KCG60LW are bloody noisy at medium fan onwards. Tested several models from different places already which was why I gave up on them. Their mid to lower end range like the FPJ40LW or the FPJ30LA are fine though. And what was worst is that the rated noise level in the specifications was 45-49dB but in reality it was way much much louder.

Also, do call the service centre to inquire about filter availability after x years. This might be a real issue down the road as you might be stuck with an old model with no filter to purchase.

I personally called up Sharp and they said they usually will have filters available for the latest model for up to 10 years (estimate).
