I see. What is the blueair air purifier's price?

It's around 800 USD for Blueair with HEPA filter as small as 0.1 micron, you can't get it in Malaysia.
Amway Atmosphere air purifier is around RM4700, it's the only available air purifier which can filter smaller particle HEPA filter at 0.009 micron.
Mi, Sharp, Panasonic etc all available are 0.3 micron.

apart of the Mi's purifier which has smart technology, i think i will go for the Sharp purifier, after comparing the technical spec between this two brands..

but i not sure how to get CADR for this sharp model:

I always check with AHAM, but seems these model was not verified by AHAM.

But u can notice the model is almost the same, hence u can roughly estimate the CADR

The other source to check for reliable air purifier is allergyUK to see what standard they are certified for.

For the Sharp units the effectively removed contaminants are House Dust Mite and Pollen as shown in the link.

Just want a quick confirmation from the sifus.

I want an air purifier which will also help with the doggie smell in the house. The guy in the shop said needed to get the ones with charcoal filters which are double the price of the basic models. Looking at Sharp and Panasonic brands.

Is that true? I tried google already can't get an answer.

Thanks in advance.

Carbon filters effective to remove odor type contaminants such as smoke, VOC, bad smells, formaldehyde and etc.
It depends on how big the surface area of the carbon filter for the effectiveness.
If getting air purifier, get a good quality one, no point getting something that is not effective but only as decoration.

Carbon Filter is good enough. i tried one time in the toilet before. effectively remove stinking smell.

Carbon filter also got few types, activated carbon, normal carbon and also the material used to produce the carbon. Activated carbon have more surface area thus more effective.

OKThanks guys I'll go look n see. Carbon filter.

the air purifier, be it living hall one, or room one, do u all turn on 24hr?

say the room one, the filter is recommended to change once a year, if i only turn on 12 hours per day, means can last for 2 years?

jz curious.. need feedback from previous users.. thx!

Yes I do turn on my air purifier 24/7 even i am not home or even i am overseas. It's recommended to turn on 24/7 as air borne contaminants are always circulating. It still depends on the air purifier you are using, some are not meant to operate 24/7 as the motor will heat up and burned.
Most air purifier should be as what you mentioned as air purifier filter does wear out according to your usage time.
Mine is equipped with IntelliSense which no need to remember when to change the filter. When the lifespan reached, it will notify me. The smart monitoring is based on the air quality & usage time.

thanks.. what do u think of this model - Sharp FPF30LH ?

can turn on 24 hours? got filter change signal?

lifespan stated 1 yrs as well..

It depends on the fan motor it used, for example Atmosphere air purifier use German made Ebmpapst centrifugal blade motor fan.
There's no information about the motor for the model you asking, best way to find out is get the manual and see what's the recommended usage period.

For plasma cluster technology, is best to turn on and leave the room when it is operating. It some how will produce ozone when operating with Ion cleansing mode.
Also if you read the manual, it's advice not to operate it when you use aerosol insecticides in your room.

so means i cannot leave it on while sleeping?

You might get advice from the seller.
This was advised by a local electrical chain store salesman previously, he told me that this kind of plasma cluster ion cleaning mode is not electronic appliances friendly too.

Can recommend air purifier for car? Very dusty inside car.

Atmosphere is launching air purifier for car soon, stay tuned

What will the price range be?

Not sure about that, but it will be launched this year.
