Recently bought a Honeywell DA-5018 to solve dust issue in my room. Seems to be working well. Was comparing it to the AAF PA200 but decided to get the honeywell. seems more reliable/powerful and I have no need for the other features.

Bought it from the honeywell shop in Tropicana City Mall since its the cheapest place i could find selling it..RM89x with free extra HEPA filter worth around RM200.

hi, how much is that Sharp unit that you are using now? I saw from lelong, the mobile unit is about 400+, so I guess this indoor unit would be like in the region of 1K+?

Ya, mobile unit for car one Rm499 retail, with some discount maybe Rm400++

The one I am using is meant for in door one, that one Rm669 retail, I got it as gift biggrin.gif the plasmacluster ionizer can generate 2 years -ve ion, after 2 years you need to replace the ion rod, but I would say this is a great n cheap model smile.gif

anti-oxidation (deoxidize) is good for human health, negative ion will prevent human body to oxidize smile.gif

Herm, I macam never see such purifier, another good thing for air purifier is you can remove the odors on your clothes/towel by putting it above the purifier for 30 minutes, this is what I saw from the instruction of the sharp purifier biggrin.gif, tested it with my pillow, put there 1 minutes, no smell d

The air blow out from the air purifier is not strong, it is almost like a stand fan below speed 1, I guess ATM those manufacturer will not combine both of them, as they are reducing their margin perhaps ? tongue.gif

What parameter should I consider for air purifier? I notice there are various size and price. My main purpose is to eliminate dust and other features will be added advantage. I guess sizes of the purifier determine the area of location. What size to choose for living room and master bedroom. For sharp, I found price range frm rm450+ to rm2k..what actually the difference which I found expensive has more function button...

Based on my survey, there are 2 types of air purifier,

1)Purification without kill bacteria
For this kind of air purifier, it is functioning by filtering the dust particle in your air but do not kill any bacteria which may cause odor problem. This kind of purifier do provide some moisturizing effect to your environment so that your room will not too dry and causing you have dry skin problem. It is good for aircon room, I saw one Panasonic model last time offer, RM200 PWP with Panasonic aircon, tot to buy one but saw without bacteria killing function, so end up give up.

2)Purification by killing bacteria
For this kind of air purifier, anion will be produced to kill the bacteria, the killed bacteria will be turned to CO2 and expose to your environment. The sharp I am using is the lowest end model of air purifier under sharp in which it comes with bacteria killing features.

here's my studies on panasonic air purifier and sharp air purifier.

to summarize, there are 3 major points to look at it.

1) panasonic - nanoe genarator is lifetime
sharp - plasmacluster ion generator is 2 years lifetime
panasonic or sharp better?


2) panasonic - each nanoe contains +ion AND -ion to take immediate function
sharp - each plasmacluster ion contains +ion OR -ion. +ion and -ion must meet together in order to function as its famous advertisement term "Plasmacluster".
panasonic or sharp better?


3) panasonic - suction from front and side. more efficient
sharp - suction from the rear. less efficient
panasonic or sharp better?

It don't have filter or moving parts. No air blow either. Medklin just generate million of ion out and sterilize surrounding room.

Not really notice. But any thing that generate ion will have some dust surrounding. It trap the dust and fall down.

1 thing good about this medklin is, when I shit in my room toilet, I can't smell my shit. tongue.gif

Just outside the toilet. I don't close the door.

Want to confirm is it really generate million of ion as it claim. Cause when it can generate that much of ion, it can quickly enough to cover any bad smell before you can smell.

Hahahaha.... wah... so much info!! tongue.gif

I'm using Sharp at home and i notice that every couple of days the floor of my house will get dusty especially around the air purifier.... good thing that the air is getting cleaned... bad thing i have to sweep every alternate day.

The main thing to take into account for me is the circulation rate... no point getting such a changgih unit if it can't circulate the air in the area its placed fast enough.

That mean your sharp purifier is working. The ion will stick to the dust in the air. When it getting heavier, it will fall down. That is how the ion clean the air.

Yeap, ada, stated 2 years life span for the ion generator, actually just used for 2 weeks, didnt notice yet, or it may depends on your environment too I guess, because at my area, consider quite less dusts

humidifying air purifier is designed for the use in an aircond room.

if not plan to use aircond, standard air purifier is applicable too.

Hi,

i am using AMWAY Atmosphere

he Power to Transform Your Environment is Here

New approaches to filtration, efficiency, quiet operation and air monitoring – no other air purifier in the market today has the balance of technology and features of the ATMOSPHERE™ Air Purifier.

The expansive, 99.99% effective CLARUS™ filtration system
The CLARUS filtration system features an activated carbon filter with a surface area large enough to cover 226 football fields or over 17 million square feet. This abundant capacity in addition to the HEPA filter eliminates 99.99% of all airborne contaminants that are drawn into the system, effectively removing pollen, bacteria, dust mites, viruses, smoke, and impurities as small as 0.009 microns.

The whisper-quiet efficiency of PUREFLOW™
Quiet operation is as important to the comfort of your home as clean air. The ATMOSPHERE Air Purifier offers you both with the unique PUREFLOW system, which eliminates excessive fan noise by operating only when it is needed. It also reduces energy costs by drawing as little as 4 watts of power – a feature which earns the ATMOSPHERE the ENERGY STAR® rating.

The automatic monitoring and protection capabilities of Intelli-Sense
The Intelli-Sense technology makes use of a built-in Particle Sensor to provide an automatic onetouch mode that monitors and protects the quality of your home environment – even when you’re not there. The particle sensor enables the ATMOSPHERE to adjust its speed according to changing air conditions, thus giving you cleaner air in the shortest time.

The ATMOSPHERE Air Purifier also automatically monitors the condition of all three filters, and alerts you when they need replacements or cleaning in the case of the Pre-Filter. The monitor calculates filter life based on a combination of operating hours, speed of operation, and levels of contamination.

The fast-acting performance of Turbo Power
When you want clean air in a hurry, turn on Turbo Power. With a CADR* (Clean Air Deliver Rate) of 250 cubic feet per minute (7.1 m³/min), it is able to clear the air in a 390-square-foot room within approximately 30 minutes.

So what is the price?

my 2 year old boy had a rhinitism.. its an early symptom of athmatism... i bought sharp purifier, medklinn and medklinn for cars.. in total its over 1k. but its really worth every penny.. the rhinitism was very less compared to previous.. medklinn doesnt have hepa filter. so it can be turned on 24/7. sharp have hepa filter, so i only turn it on while i was at home. next year planning to upgrade to lombok from coway..

No hepa filter can turn on 24/7? Electric bill expensive?

Hepa filter - got lifespan so only turn on when at home?

I heard sharp pharmacluster is good but electric bill also not cheap though only turn on at night.

My house very dusty and I am looking for a good, cost saving purifier. Any recommendation?

ive tested the medklinn without turning on the sharp for 1 month.. the usage increase less than rm4

HEPA filter had a lifespan. the more u use it, the more dirt on the HEPA..

sharp does not consume electricity that much.. just make sure u dont turn the fan to the max 24/7.. the slowest or medium should be sufficient for a room.. summore u dont want to sleep with the fan on maximum.. the sound quite annoying..

if u feel that the house is very dusty, u go for a HEPA one.. u could see the differences within a few days if it was a closed area.. notworthy.gif

The housing environment is not so clean and make him always recurring with other side infection of bacteria and virus from environment.
Please recommend me a best model which costing below rm1.5k.I'm not sure which type of air purifier is suitable for his case as the price range and functionality are vary so much.

Anyone here using AAF Purair 400A? Is it "Good" because when i read the boucher.. Wow the purify area is far more better compare with Sharp KCA60EW only don't know how long can the filter lasting. I plan use it for my living room.

Get the 1 with plenty of stock filter and can last long.

You can have very good expensive air cleaner. But once you can't get the filter, you can throw away the unit. My experience.

I have the same experience。 A rubber ring that hold blower on my old air purifier is breaking and i can't find the replacement, so the ending place is in junkyard.

At this moment of considering, Panasonic is a famous brand that should no problem to find the filter but strange thing is even the seller don't know about the replacement filter. I wonder do the SenQ guy know better.

Just make some math on Sharp KCA60EW (RM1900+-) vs AFF Purair 400A (RM1299).
Sharp is well-known than AFF and Sharp filter claim that can last for 10 year and washable. On the other hand AFF need to change the Carbon filter every 1500 hour/6month (RM128) and HEPA filter every 3000 hour/1 year(RM158) sweat.gif . That make AFF far more expensive when use for around for 2-3 year.. rclxub.gif

I think i will go for Sharp KCA60EW for my living room and Panasonic F-PMF35ARM for all the other room if i can find the spare filter. biggrin.gif

I not saying the Sharp no problem with the filter but i say it last longer than other brand for KCA60EW model. Another problem is at Sibu, it was easy to get the Panasonic product than Sharp. At this moment the living room can wait because i pay attention on bedroom air that every night even i close the windows the smoke smile still can go into the room. And i go for Sharp KCA60EW because it 10 year long lasting filter that there is no other can bit it. But the Sharp smaller air purifier FUA28EW only last for 2 year same as Panasonic.

Ya.. Another solution that i think is buy the extra filter and charge it when the time come. But that also have 1 question. After 2 - 5 year where will the air purifier be? At home or junk yard. doh.gif

I mean if the sharp is easily get the filter why go buy Panasonic. But since your town have more pana product, than shouldn't have problem with the part. Pana should have 1 main distributed and service center in your town.

Here in kl, sharp is more famous and no problem with the spare filter.

I did think before with the filter spare part and my bad experience with don't no what brand air cleaner with later on no spare part filter. mad.gif So I get the medklin with no filter and maintainence. Using it for 5yrs. Lately the power not so strong already. Hardly smell the forest anymore.

The Panasonic F-PMF35ARM (RM499) is a good choice because applicable area is 26m2 compare to Sharp FUA28E (RM449) 19m2 but may not good enough if use for big living room. BTW.. The Panasonic F-PMF35ARM filter is lasting for 3 year and Sharp FUA28E need to be change after 2 year.

So is up to you to choose. Both claim they technology (Sharp, Plasmacluster ions and Panasonic, nanoe) can remove gem in the air.

Cannot bother too much after years, as long i am enjoying the purifier now should be fine. When reach service period, will now the service quality from the sharp. Since the dealer said i can get spare parts directly with sharp, then should be fine because SHarp specialty business is purifier, unless you buying a brand that may disappear after some years.

Panasonic replied to me today. They listed four service centres in Selangor: Kajang, Kepong, Puchong and Klang. Panasonic also said no stock on the filters but I have e-mailed the service centres to ask for confirmation.

On another note, has anyone heard of Super 8 air purifiers? There is a deal going on in Groupon right now and I wonder if it is worth it. Apparently there is no filter replacement, just clean the collection plates once a month.

never been a believer of air purifiers, but i'm going to get one for free these coming weeks so i'm finally going to give it a try.. or maybe sell it off...

It's a Panasonic F-PMF35A anyway, is it the same as the F-PMF35ARM?

I agree, buying XYZ brand isn't a good choice sometime it even more expensive that the branded one + no guarantee how long you can get the service if problem appear。

Sharp reply my email today.
QUOTE
[1] we have a branch in Kuching who can assist you to assess after sales service in Sibu.
The phone number is 082-450 281

[2] for FUA28E, the price is approximately RM150, while KCA60E whole set of 3 type of filter is about 550.

Both Panasonic and Sharp don't have service centre at my town but both can arrange the after sales service if any happen to the air purifier. The maintenance fee for Panasonic F-PMF35A is RM287(2 filter)/3 year = RM95.67/year, Sharp FUA28E is RM150(1 filter)/2year = RM75/year and Sharp KCA60EW = RM550/10 year = RM55/year.

I still hesitate which to buy, but not too long as the air get worst and worst now days.

hi to all forumer

I have been using Air Purifier since year 2003 and had been using Panasonic, Hitachi and Sharp brand.
So far all these 3 brand are good.
Bottom line, just get the cheapest model of the air purifier would do. No need to get above RM 500 air purifier as the key purpose of Air Purifier is to clean the air from dust particles.

Enjoy!

True... if big room, then need to get the model that covers the unit size.
And I find that all the features that comes with the model with additional $$$ is not worth it.

That's my 2 cent.. icon_rolleyes.gif

Anyone have used the Panasonic Nanoe Air Purifiers? Can in work well in our hot and humid country and in a non air-con room?
As I understand it's operation depended on temperature and humidity as stated on the product itself.
*
Panasonic Nanoe work on room temp. 5 C ~ 35 C and room humidity level 30%~85% base on Panasonic brochure.
So i think it will work fine in Malaysia as our temp. is always >28 C and humidity level is always >50%


Anyone ever test an air-con room humidity? As i know the air-con room is very "dry" that you put a glass of water in the room the water level will drop.

I didnt buy from lazada which only have blue model and its not from malaysia market gua since i checked panashop and aaq only said pink no others color. The replacement filter is rm218 per set if not heard wrong but will entitle 10% discount if buy from aaq as a return customer.

Ya.. lazada only have blue colour and it got MALAYSIA warranty (1year on e-warranty). JUST you have to be patience to wait for you item as i read few say about lazada slow deliver service.

Harvey Norman rm499 with free filter

Best Denki rm469 with free filter

Jusco rm499 with free filter

Any where else can get cheaper???

If it with FREE filter then it worth to buy as the filter (1set=2 type) is priced RM287. Please make sure that what you get for the free filter as the unit already including 1 set in the packing. If you buy from Harvey Norman on 04/08 and still get the free filter...wow.. RM399-RM287=RM112 ONLY! shocking.gif

You guys/girls at WM really lucky!

I guess RM499+ free filter meaning one complete set (filter+the machine). No additional filter. sweat.gif

You have wide selection since you just want to get off the dust. You can choose Panasonic or Sharp, both need to change filter, Panasonic F-PMF35A (3 years) & Sharp FUA28E (2 years) and they use around 6W (Low fan) to 20W (High fan).

You can also choose Takada SC-AC03 that only RM159 at Lazada that it claim 98% dust elimination rate. you can e-mail Takada ask for service center at your area since they are only available at major city (I ask for service center at EM it turn out only 1 at Sarawak and 2 at Sabah)

I just bought Panasonic Nanoe F-VXF35A (clean+humid function, 26 m sq./283 sq. ft.) @ Best Denki for the price of RM 979. Last time I also headache which model/brand to choose but finally decided to get the Panasonic since it cheaper 300-400 ringgit from the Sharp.

About the humidity function, I think if the area do not use air-con much, it better just to get air purifier without the humid function since it will cost more cheaper. But, the sales guy at Best Denki did mention that if the unit got humid function, it will perform better to purify the air because the generated particle will have water in it and effectively trap any odour or bacteria.

About the maintenance, the air filter need to be change every 2-3 years and the deodorize filter is maintenance free and the unit have an indicator to tell u when the filter and the water need to be replace and fill. Power consumption is rated at min 5w ~ max 41w. If taken consideration of maximum power consumption for 24h operation for 30 days, it shud be about RM 6.40 per month sweat.gif All that stated in the user manual.

Tested at my house, after cooked a dinner (my kitchen is open and connect directly to living hall), switch on the unit full blast, about 1-2 hour the smell of cooking is gone. It depend on the air purifier capacity, the larger capacity air purifier F-VXF70A (52 m sq/566 sq. ft - Best Denki selling at RM 1599) will perform quicker. Last time when cooked a dinner, until tomorrow morning also the smell still got sweat.gif I'm satisfied with the product so far biggrin.gif

I bought the same model last April at 1U but a bit expensive...RM1049.. plus RM99 for extra warranty of 2 years.

they said the Air Filter and Deodorizing Filter can use up to 3 years but not sure can last that long or not....but since I got free extra Air Filter and Deodorizing Filter, should be fine.

So far I have to clean my air filter twice a month.

Since this is one of the more active air purifier threads, guess I get a better chance in response if I wrote here.

I am looking for air purifier for the house, for better air quality because we have kids at home.

I was looking at Sharp Plasma Cluster because that's all I know but the electrical shop recommended me Panasonic. I love Panasonic goods but just not sure how they fare with air purifier products.

Then, spoken to some relative who recommended me Medklinn. Then colleague recommend to rent from Coway first.

I was told that a HEPA filter is not washable but need to be replace every 2 years (if you use 8 hours per day). Anyone know much does a HEPA filter cost?

Anyone can comment about these brands? Coway, Sharp, Panasonic, Medklinn?

Just bought a panasonic latest air purifier FVXH50A with humidifying function. Put in my bedroom with Aircon on, I found out that even switch on humidifying function, after 8 hours of sleeping, woke up with very dry feeling, I wonder any panasonic user have same kind of experience?

NANOE ion is suppose to give u moisture to your skin, but how come after using this purifier, it was worse than b4 I am using any purifier?

Been using Sharp Purifier FUA28E for 6 months been on 24 hours non-stop. Recently I was puzzling on why my nose sense heavy dust around the living room.
After I turn off the Sharp Purifier, the air gets better and I suspect I need to change the air filter spare parts.

Called up Sharp, and it cost RM 110 but need to go Shah Alam to get the air filter spare parts and Sharp don't have delivery... gosh...
And many outlets like SenHeng and Best Denki does not carry Sharp air purifier spare parts

Anybody knows where I can get Sharp Air purifier spare parts at KL area?

Thanks

Anyone knows the difference between the Composite Filter in Panasonic range of air filters compared to the HEPA in Sharp? Panasonic's design is much better and it has power saving features but it doesn't have HEPA. However, I was told by the sales that their Composite filter is much better than HEPA. Is that true?

When Ac switch on, the room will be dry. Use the humidity meter u can measure the difference from before switch on vs few hours after switch on.

Is good to have humidifier inside.

The human comfortly humid is around 45%. So it is perfectly find with my daily surrounding place with/without aircon. No need any humidifier.

The water sign is the dry mode. So, don't pick the dry mode if you wish to have humid surrounding. You will get humidity around 40 - 50%. I doubt you need more than this.

Too humid will create another prob. So, don't fully trust all those sellers.

Dont know how accurate your meter. I had a dedicated analog meter sometime back, the drop was almost half. For some people they can't take the dry of the Ac. One person is my wife, her throat will feel dry if the humidifier are off. and if you try put a wet towel in the Ac room few hours it will dry. Without Ac the towel will take whole day to dry. Maybe I like cold and is always <24c

I have the dry throat too every morning wakeup. Cause the aircon is blowing at me. But it didn'y cause me anything. No sore throat or whatever sickness. Just have a teeth brush and guggle with water will find. But it cause my throat itchiness when I get recover from sore throat. For 1-2days.

This is pretty normal to get dry for any wet thing in aircon room. Even sometime I hang overnight some wet cloth to dry out for next morning wear.

The aircon must get lower humid inorder for you to feel cooler. Otherwise you will need to set the temperature much more lower to get what you want.

The reading taken after wait for about 10min and longer. Not sure the accuracy as this meter is very new. Will check the accuracy with another humid meter.

Get whatever you can. You have to check your room size too. Otherwise don't complain not effective.

My office is using sharp old model. It is pretty effective. Cost rm1600.

Different people different cell and gens. The reading is between the comfort level for me and my wife. And the reading also fall between recommended level. So my conclusion is I don't need a humidifier.

Humid play a role in cool and hot. Not just temperature. 23c seem like cool. But if humid high, you still feel hot. A 28c seem hot to you. But if humid low, you feel cool like 25c.

So if you set your aircon too low temp and you put a humidifier in your room, do you feel hot? Than set lower the temp to compensate it? But your aircon will suck the moisture more if temp lower. I feel like the aircon and humidifier somekind of fighting each other. rclxub.gif

Humidifier mainly is for country which have 4 season. Where some season, the humid is really really low. Our country is humid. That is why our skin is much more nicer than those country. smile.gif

Agree with you. You will actually overburden d a/c by introducing more water to d air. Bcoz air is harder to cool thus you a/c will consume more power.

Your throat get dried for a few reason. One of it, snoring and another one is you sleep with your mouth open. Be it in a/c or not you will get dry throat.

Is not claim, you can try to do a measurement from 25c to 20c the drop are not liner. And for me, I don't set the temperature at 24c because is stuffy for me (be it with or without humidifier), my usual setting is 20c +- 1. If 24c I prefer to switch on my ventilation fan and get outside fresh air.

Depend the outside environment too, if is like the last few days so hot, and at afternoon the humidity level will drop and switch a/c with lower temperature will make room humidity lower and you can use humidifier. If rainy day you don't need because the outside humidity are 90%. i won't switch on the humidifier when is raining.

If you need to get, try get the humidifier that can adjust the amount of mist. Start with lower level.

If the air is dry, not only throat will suffer. Your skin will suffer the most. Have you heard about placebo effect? a flour pill can heal your illness if you really believe it is the cure for it. Just like the dry throat.

R you sure that the device used by bro ozak uses liner concept? Don't argue on the device if the result didn't support you idea. Two devices shows the same reading, so, the reading is true.

Ventilation fan? if outside temperature is 28c how? you will never get 25c by only turning on your ventilation fan. Unless you stay in cameron highlands.

If you run the ac at the same time turning on your ventilation fan, wah.. how much your electricity bill per month? I can see you put extra unnecessary load to your AC, 1) By adding more moisture to the air (humidifier), 2) Allowing warm air to enter your room. wink.gif

I did not say his device is liner. What i mean every 1c drop does translate to x amount of humid drop. 26c to 25c maybe drop x humid, but 25 drop to 24 will drop more than x.

If outside temperature 28, i switch on ac, no Vent fan. If rainy season outside is about 25c and I will off ac and switch on vent. I don't switch on vent + ac, is waste of energy. I am not so silly to switch on a/c + vent together, is totally useless.

Maybe I should tell this to the sinus doctor and ask him not to introduce humidifier. Since is the doctor that recommend her. FYI, some people have higher tolerate to dry air, some are sensative.

Skin will not suffer bad because there is something call skin moisturizer can be apply.

I did experience a very very dry condition ontop of 1 of the japan mountain during spring season. If you moist your lip with your tung, few second will dry out. If you wet a cloth, it will dry out just few minute. My eye need to shuttle more often to moist it. My skin will itchi for few day after coming back.

If you see properly the dial gauge humidmeter that I post before, you can see the range state. 0-30 = very dry, 30-50 = normal and 65-100 = humid. Most of our place are fall on normal range. Even in aircon place, we never set the temp too low till shevering.

Not using now, my old unit spoils before I move house. Looking at these haze maybe is time to invest few units.

Haha, we suppose to wash the Ac filter monthly for regular use and non stop use or high usage need to be wash twice a month. How often you see people wash?

Yeah.. I understand.. by looking at your device alone i know it is a good one.

Air cond is just to cool you down to comfortable temperature, usually 28c till 25c. Want to get frozen, better stay in the freezer.

Humidifier can function as air purifier as well you know? when we blow the air in the water, the water will absorb most of the impurity out of the air leaving purified air to the room. The longer the air is in contact with the water, the cleaner the air will get. But humidifying a humid air, i really cannot comprehend this.

If you really need to humidify you room you can DIY with low cost. Just put a bowl of water in front of a fan. The wind will evaporate the water and then humidify the room.

But in asian, country like us, removing the humidity is much more beneficial than make it more humid. Even in dry season like now, we are still humid.

Most of the famous brand will do the work. Like AAF, honeywell, panasonic, sharp etc. The critical point is must have HEPA filter and easy to get spare part.

Last time have 1 don't no what brand korea air filter. Claim the filter is using molten rock. But once expire don't no where to get the filter. End up throw away the unit. Cost me RM2k. sad.gif

Medklin don't have filter but just generate ion. While sharp have both.

I use medklin before. I m thinking to get back medklin. But their plan now not cheap. Got something like maintainence pay or 1 off pay bullshit. Better get the sharp which can do the something + filter.

100yrs also problem if they don't have shop/office in here to support. If AAF is selling by agen or distributer only, once they close shop, don't no where to get spare part. Can throw away your unit already.

Based on my personal experience, never buy Philips air purifier. I bought a unit in 2008. Within 2 months, one of the LED indicator not functioning, sent for repair and fixed. After 1.5yrs, the unit totally not functioning, sent for repair again since it was still under 2 yrs warranty. After 2 weeks, Philips service center informed they can't repair it and replaced with a brand new unit instead. So, I am more than happy with it (all filters are new). Now, after 2 years of using it, the air purifier broke down again 3 weeks ago. This time no more warranty but I decided to send to service center and willing to pay for the repair cost. Coincidently, another customer before me was sending his air purifier for repair too but I did not ask about his problem. Just 2 days ago, they told me my unit cannot be repaired and will be returned to me instead. I was hoping the RM8xx air purifier should be able to last me 5 years but sadly that's not the case.

I don't no about AAF. And they seems like no ads or promote much of their unit. Look like more to comercial than household.

Have you see any ordinary electrical shop or supermarket selling this AAF unit? I see more on panasonic, sharp, philip or medklin in market. So nobody know they have a factory in SH or free service.

Direct selling air purifier are just overpriced good product. Atmosphere claims their HEPA filter is that loooong. When I pull out my Sharp's I laughed. And their ad in youtube is comparing their huge filter with small competitor model.

Choose wisely. Don't let ads or other gimmick get you to pay through your nose. What u actually need. How big is your room? What do u want to achieve?

What I need is only a certified HEPA and Charcoal filter, to filter out most dust/mites and odour. I don't need 100% clean air or all other gimmick (and pay thousands more). Humidifier is never need in my house as even with a/c running my room humidity is only 45-50% which is around the ideal humidity.

So I got myself 2 Sharps. But Sharps replacement and after sales service sucks! Anyway, the newer model's filter can last 10 years. Happy with them smile.gif

Frankly. Not much choice in Malaysia.

Hi All,

I am having the same doubts in choosing the best suited air purifier for myself, so I did some online survey and came across this very informative write up. Hope it helps you in deciding your unit.

hi guys,

i'm thinking to get a purifier for 1 purpose only. to reduce the smoke/purify the air as much as I can, from those smokes from the jossticks that my family burned for chinese gods praying.

So would be good if you guys can give me some tips.

Medklinn Asens - I have one of these, but is faulty. I can get it fixed by paying RM100 to recharge it (according to Medklinn). But I read the review that it actually released many ions. i know it smells like waterfall, but will this neutralized the smoke from those jossticks?

If can't, then I'm thinking between sharp air purifier or amway Atmosphere air purifier. I know these have HEPA filters and other sort of filters, so I am assuming that these smokes will be sucked into the purifier and then cleaner air will be produced?

Do hope to hear from you all soon.

Thanks.

Definitely go for sharp. My office using it for over 8yrs. The sensor more sensitive than my nose.

But you got to check your room size with the model. Model too small cannot cover the big room.

The design is a bit boring but I did some research and most of them say that Sharp is better in terms of durability.

Will change to red and the fan start to go high when detect. Even my nose can't smell anything. It is scary when I alone work at night. Macam ada ghost when it suddenly change mode. sweat.gif

I think need at least RM1K and above only got air pollution sensor.
In fact i am surveying the coway model Air Purifier Aires AP-1009CH

http://www.coway.com.my/ProductDetails.aspx?PID=31

which probably cost RM60 per month.
This one should come with air pullution sensor.

Why RM60/mth ? Is it for rent?

Not sure what is the quality of coway. But you got to makesure the filter or hepa filter is available after many many yrs.

I pay an expensive lesson when buy a korea air purifier. After sometime, no more selling and can't find the filter. Got to throw away the unit. Cost me RM2k for that stupid unit.

So more expensive air purifier probably have 4 or 5 filters such as virus filter, etc.

Prefer own 1 which can last many yrs. The hepa filter can last at least 3yrs.

hepa and deodorizer filter i guess is standard.
So more expensive air purifier probably have 4 or 5 filters such as virus filter, etc.

Standard air purifier should have hepa filter, filter and ionizer. The rest is sensor or anything gadget add in. Have the 3 function already good enough.

A bit expensive to use for RM60/mth.

Prefer own 1 which can last many yrs. The hepa filter can last at least 3yrs.

Seriously I don't think HEPA can last 3 years.
probably you have to vacuum it out every 3 months and change every year.
Make sense?
If buy the machien i think is RM1900 with one year warranty.
If rent then 5 years warranty and RM60 include change the filter every 6 months or 12 months (for certain filter some is 6 months, 12 months or 18 months if not mistaken).

But haven't really decided yet.

Recently bought a Honeywell DA-5018 to solve dust issue in my room. Seems to be working well. Was comparing it to the AAF PA200 but decided to get the honeywell. seems more reliable/powerful and I have no need for the other features.

Bought it from the honeywell shop in Tropicana City Mall since its the cheapest place i could find selling it..RM89x with free extra HEPA filter worth around RM200.

I want to know how it helps with the dust issue? Mind sharing?

Yes, some are purely air purifier, but most main stream air purifier I see in Malaysia comes with some sort of ionizer. I have a AustinAir air purifier at home, which is purely an air purifier/scrubber, works very well for me especially since i have dogs at home. There are other pure air purifier, like Alen Paralda, but that is gonna cost a bomb....

I don't run the unit 24hr or 8hr or 6hr. Just need to run 1hr interval or a little longer when the sensor turn green (detect good air). It doesn't have any benefit to keep running for long.

So 3yrs shouldn't be a problem. The main filter is require to clean more. That prolong the Hepa filter lifespan. The sensor will tell when the filter need to replace.

The sharp unit already been 8yrs and change 3x filter only. The Hepa filter cost RM200. If 60/mth x 12mth x 8yrs, I got to pay RM5760. sweat.gif That is a lot to breath a clean air. Just get a reliable brand that last long for your return.

any recommendation for an air purifier to place in the living room?

my living room consists of an open kitchen too. I was wondering whether the below RM1000 models listed above are enough?

thanks.

Guys,
I recently bought the Sharp model 28W which on Lazada costs 360odd.

Got it within 3 days. Was used at full power to clean my master bedroom which is within its maximum coverage. Anyway, after about 2 hours of max power, you can actually smell that the air within the room is totally different from the rest of the house.

My wife commented that it smelled like waterfall/besides a spring/mountain air; I.e. Extremely fresh air.

The only downside is, it's about 60db when at max. At min, it's a quiet whisper. Middle setting is a bit noisy and yesterday night, somehow, the haze smell came into our room even with everything closed, I crank up the Sharp from min to middle, and within 15mins(?), the smell went away...

So, for about 330 (buy on Monday as there is a MasterCard promo with additional 10% off), I think it's an acceptable buy.

After reading through several pages, it seems Sharp is a good recommendation in terms of pricing, reliability and quality. I may purchase a Sharp plasmacluster for my bedroom, may I know is there any new models in 2014? I saw some models that was listed in US but not in Malaysia, should I wait for those new models?

Decided to go with Coway Lombok II, their top of the range model.

It costs around RM2480 after discount, and it can cover a huge area. 1600 square feet.

I have done my research on other models, initially wanted to get Sharp. However Sharp's coverage and CADR is still below Coway's. And it costs around RM2000 for the higher end ones.

Anyone have any opinion on whether a humidifier function is necessary in Malaysian weather? Coz the Sharp one offers a humidifier function as well, the Coway does not.

Don't get a filter that cover big area, for better efficiency is better to get multiple smaller unit for big area.

Do you guys turn on your ionizer function all the time?
I heard ionizer might not be so good to our health, might even cause cancer because of the emitting of ozone gas.

So ppl with sharp ion plasmacluster, you guys turn on the ion function all the time?

Our climate is well humid. Humidifier need probably in aircon room only. If some ppl cannot stand the dryness or aircon set it too low in temp, than humidifier is necessary.

Cannot tahan anymore the haze. Wife also have some eye itchy because of haze. So go and shop for an air purifier. Expecting the price won't be cheap and doesn't have time to search more shop for cheap price.

I have use Sharp air purifier for 8yrs (office). It proof reliable and effective. So I get back another sharp model for my home. Have use other brand before like Philip, Medklin and don't no what brand korea made. All short lifespan or no filter replacement. But the sharp is the longest.

Already have mind to get the Sharp model KCD60EW or KCD40EW. But since the KCD60EW can cover 48m2 which is well over my living and dinner area, target at this model. Price is RM1920 from small electrical appliance shop. Lazada selling at RM1850, but sold out.

Front look
user posted image

Back and side have 4 filter. Hepa, carbon and general filter. While the side is a humidifier with water container and humidifier filter. All the filter is easy access and clean. The filter can last 10yrs. But very much depend on the usage.
user posted image

The front panel beside infor and switch also have air flow out. The red light showing some bad air and smell. Left is the ION ON/OFF and right is showing actual humid reading. It have 3 kind of function. Clean air, clean air with humidifier and haze mode. Others, ON/OFF timer, Fan speed, child lock, light off and OFF switch.
user posted image

Another side have a label that you can write down the start usage date for the 3 filter. So till 2024 only need to change filter. Wonder can last that long. hmm.gif

This big model is not suitable for room. The mid and high fan speed is noisy. Measure with noise meter, the high speed fan can go 100db. Only the low speed is very quiet. Look freaking big also for small room.

My way of best using is
1) put the fan to auto, so the fan will choose itself when speed up.
2) Choose the clean air humid mode. Humidifier will ON when detect low humid. OFF when high enough.(Cannot select). That will save some power and no need everytime top up water.
3) Timer set to 2/4hr. That prolong the filter lifespan and save power. If a room is close, the air purifier don't need to be ON all the time. Once the air is clean detect, is can be switch OFF. Or run interval.

yeah at first thought of getting the sharp, then in the end went for coway instead. coz coway has 6 filters.
where is the best place to put the air purifier?

I put mine near the open window and I dunno whether that's a good place to put it as it always shows red when there's haze.

Normally I place at the middle between the hall and the dinning area. Where the clean air blow out toward you. The menu said, 30cm from the wall. I don't no why the filter now design at behind. Ain't it suppose to suck air from front is more effective?

If put at the window, it suck air from outside and clean air blow out. But the filter is very fast dirty.

Have a look at Venta. Available from Benova. LW-15 RM1999. Traps air particle on rotating drum and clean air emerges from the sides. Very quiet for LW-15 22 dB. 10W only. Only change water. Made in Germany or at least inspired by German Technology.

Only clean rotating drum with brush. No filter - the water is the filter.

Please help me,

Currently i am searching for a product which can remove dust completely from my car.
i am searching through car air purifier but i doubt how it can remove dust since it just a small thing except philips go pure(philips too expensive and limited for use in car only,if i'm not mistaken)

i mean the product which can absorb dust like vacuum cleaner.

i dont care what the kind of product is, as the most important thing is i dont want vacuum again because it is very tired biggrin.gif

i found some products like Honeywell DA-5018, AAF PA200, Medklinn asen but i dont know how good they are.

It is good to get advice from consumers than ask the seller because the seller will always say good good good about their product

it use about 27w for medium setting , which is about 0.027*8hours*31days= 6.69Kw per month.... RM0.20 * 6.69= RM1.20+

a timer cost about RM20 from Giant .. no need buy timer d lo.... but not sure if the filter cannot last longer due to long hour usage.... RM129 for the filter , from lelong ....

it use about 27w for medium setting , which is about 0.027*8hours*31days= 6.69Kw per month.... RM0.20 * 6.69= RM1.20+

a timer cost about RM20 from Giant .. no need buy timer d lo.... but not sure if the filter cannot last longer due to long hour usage.... RM129 for the filter , from lelong ....

27w is more than 1 CFL light bulb running cost.

Beside that, when your room is already fill up with clean air, continue run doesn't have any advantage. Ain't it better this 27w extra be run on a light bulb ? thumbup.gif

The filter lifespan is definitely shorten which is also the most expensive part.

If you decide to get a timer, 1yrs you already pay back your timer. RM12 from your running cost saving and the rest is from your saving in prolong the life of the filter. smile.gif

this model is basic and no timer option. option to adjust speed and ionizer are available.
between, I turn it on and sleep edi I also malas to wake up and off it. so might as well let it run. biggrin.gif
there is a small little note that adhered at the bottom side of the casing where you can use it to track the usage of the filter from what date to what date. and it is recommended to replace the filter every 2 years. of cuz you can choose to clean and vacuum the filter every month.

When I brought the unit, I must state it have a timer. No timer, no buy.

I timer it 1hr before sleep. And delay ON 6hr after sleep. The filter can last 10yrs. Or filter replacement light ON. Which 1 come first.

bro, since your living hall so big you can also consider FU-A80E
let's say two unit of FU-A28E-W cost you about RM650, FU-A80E cost rm 700-800 you can consider taking this which is just 100 more extra.
reason because FU-A80E has more applicable floor size than the FU-A28E-W.

depends how heavy u use it anyway, if you are hardworking type and you can always clean/vacuum the filter every 2 weeks.then it should last longer and most probably you only need to replace it every 2 years

Y dun u get a better quality and higher efficiency and with bigger coverage area and higher CADR rate air treatment system. So u can put in living hall when u wan to sleep juz put into ur sleeping room and turn it on to clean d air.

If u buying a cheaper 1 usually d d performance ll be lower n coverage area is small. Juz like a example ll u be buying 2 nokia hp instead of getting 1 iphone which really can perform?


Guideline for choosing air treatment system:
1. How many micron of particle can be filter
2. How many types of containminates can filter, any prove?
3. Wat is d CADR rate? Area coverage
4. How to filter d gas, smell?
5. How to detect d air quality?
6. Maintenance cost?
7. Noisy?
8. How much electricity bill charge?

The ozone create is between the safe limit. They do have research on this what is the safe level and controlling.

You need million of million of ion to create something bad for your health.

Sorry to be giving some my opinion. Hope you dun mind. I actually thinking to place a layer more filter is quite extra work and double work. Unless the 3M filter that put can filter smaller particle than the air treatment system.

Better air purifier doesnt not really have other extra function. I m using Amway atmosphere. It does not add on extra function.

Juz based on d the answer:
Filter 0.09micron particles
CADR rate is 7.1m3/min. Does check carefully when u buy other brand. Many ppl confuse n miss read for unit sq ft / mins or hr.
Filter 80types of containminates include influenza A, SARS.
It doesnt not consist humidter as i think this is smth extra. When u purchase air treatment system. Key point is filter haze, containminates, virus n provide clean air for u.
No need a big maintenance once a while 2-3years
It have sensor detect air quality. It wont noisy very silent so wont disturb my sleeping time.
D HEPA filter is 8.5meter long. Surface area of carbon filter is equal to 300++ football field

I read from the manual. It did said 10yrs. But or course must follow maintenance lah.

All the filter can be clean. It have instruction how to clean and what to clean. It got state 1mth or sensor on.

Anyway I won't use till 10yrs also. Maybe around 7yrs change once. That already quite longtime for me.

Important is the filter still can get.

Just bought this - Philips AC-4014
user posted image

Just a pure air filter with no ionizer or humidifier function. Has three stages of filtration - pre-filter (like those in aircon), carbon filter and finally a Hepa filter. Quite solid and thick those filters which is what I like. Filters can tahan 3 years before need to replace. Pre-filter can be cleaned by vacuuming or with water like those found in aircon

Here is what they look like -
user posted image

Unfortunately, it doesnt come with a remote control like the Hitachi. Bought at the philips warehouse clearance for Rm729. Very worth it, I feel.

The airflow rate is 237 m³/h and is able to cover a room size of 55m2. That means pretty much a living room

Hitachi also very good but they come with humidifier which adds to the cost. The A6000 series has a heavy duty Hepa filter.

where is the best place to put the air purifier?

I put mine near the open window and I dunno whether that's a good place to put it as it always shows red when there's haze.

1stly i would like to buy the sharp , but after do some research and found out if you inhale the ioner and that will harm ur lung , is that true ?
And also im looking at normal air purifier such as Hitachi now.

Hitachi air purifier very solid but comes with the added cost of the humidifier. If you don't need humidifier, can try Philips. Just purely an air filter.

Just bought this - Philips AC-4014

Just a pure air filter with no ionizer or humidifier function. Has three stages of filtration - pre-filter (like those in aircon), carbon filter and finally a Hepa filter. Quite solid and thick those filters which is what I like. Filters can tahan 3 years before need to replace. Pre-filter can be cleaned by vacuuming or with water like those found in aircon

Here is what they look like -

Unfortunately, it doesnt come with a remote control like the Hitachi.  Bought at the philips warehouse clearance for Rm729. Very worth it, I feel.

The airflow rate is 237 m³/h and is able to cover a room size of 55m2. That means pretty much a living room

Hitachi also very good but they come with humidifier which adds to the cost. The A6000 series has a heavy duty Hepa filter.

According to wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HEPA
To qualify as HEPA by US government standards, an air filter must remove (from the air that passes through) 99.97% of 0.3 µm particles

Philips Specs - http://www.philips.com.my/c/air-purifier/a...=specifications

replacement for one set around Rm160-180. you can call philips to find out

Most models you can turn off the plasmacluster mode. Sharp has an advantage over Hitachi in that you can also turn off humidifier mode (with water still in the tank). The humidifying component is a rotating wheel with one section that is without the filter ( that absorbs the water ). For Hitachi, the humidifying filter is always in the water if the tank is filled.

Yes, it turns on when humidity falls below 45% I think. I'm just saying that some people might want to turn it off completely.

BlueAir replacement filters are quite expensive it seems. Probably difficult to get too since it's not widely available.

Been using Sharp Purifier FUA28E for 6 months been on 24 hours non-stop. Recently I was puzzling on why my nose sense heavy dust around the living room.
After I turn off the Sharp Purifier, the air gets better and I suspect I need to change the air filter spare parts.

Called up Sharp, and it cost RM 110 but need to go Shah Alam to get the air filter spare parts and Sharp don't have delivery... gosh...
And many outlets like SenHeng and Best Denki does not carry Sharp air purifier spare parts

Anybody knows where I can get Sharp Air purifier spare parts at KL area?

Thanks

hello,
i can understand that HEPA filter is important but may i ask how important is active carbon filter?

i read around that it removes odor and also serve as a deodorant kind of filter but does it help improve the air quality other than just the smell?

Hi Ozak,
i am interested in Sharp FPE50E while it state it has a deodorizing filter, it didn't state if its a Active Carbon Filter. I found out that Carbon Filter also help remove VOCs, does a normal deodorizing filter does the same?

Is that deodorizing filter is a active carbon filter ? Some give different name. But it is same thing.

Just walk over to the shop and check it out. The filter full with many small black carbon.

Or ask Edwin8373 on top.

Besides particulate size selectivity by using HEPA or any filtering medium, can also consider water as a filtering medium. There's Stadler Form's Viktor and Venta. Both are rotating disc immersed in water. Viktor at least comes equipped with a silver ion cube to prevent bacteria breeding in water. Also has the regular filters plus air fragrance dispenser.

my simple review on Sharp Air Purifier FPE50E. dated use: 09.10.2014

due to the recent bad haze that seems to come and go like the four seasons. decided to get an air purifier to put in bedroom to improve quality of sleep and rest, and therefore improving health and fitness too.

was reading & researching around and found that my criteria in an air purifier is:
1) HEPA Filter
- generally remove bacteria and viruses.
2) Active Carbon
- generally remove bad small and Volatile Organic Compound (VoCs)
3) Dust / Odour Indicator
- at least you know when its dirty.

my budget was less than rm1,000 and there are some really nice ones in the market but the price is just beyond reach. i kind of like Samsung design, Sharp higher end design also look quite nice. goggled around and there seem to be some quite good review about Sharp Air Purifier.

i don't need a humidifier so that puts their F-series range of products for me which most of their price tag is below 1k except maybe FUA80E.

among all of them, i was quite interested in the FPE05E as it fits my budget, my room size is 25 square meter, 5 years filter sounds good and comes with odour & dust sensor. while the cheaper FUZ31E and FUA28E are prices around rm500 and rm250 respectively, their filters listed is only 2 years and lack of sensor for me, plus the area filtered is below what i need. so i got the Sharp Air Purifier FPE05E for rm9xx from a lowyat forumer named Edwin8373, he is reliable and responsibly, and this is my first time dealing with him as well.

user posted image

i won't go through all the specs with you but this is more of my experience of using the Sharp Air Purifier FPE05E.

the unit is not too big but like a laundry basket, maybe smaller a bit but looks slim, which is good enough to place inside the room without too obstructing. taking out from the box reveal a nicely package unit and opening the back reveals the filter are in tightly sealed plastic. once open and install all the filter and ready to test the unit. my room is around the size of 21ft x 13ft and i placed the FPE05E near the middle and around 10ft away from where i sleep. i find it funny that the air outlet is on top and facing the back?!? this makes positioning a bit hard as you don't really want to put the air outlet facing a wall where it for sure will leave a black mark in due time. they could really have make it adjustable or a front air outlet. they also provided a small space on the left for you to write down when the unit started running so you can keep track of the filter.

user posted image

powering up the unit and it looks good. nice color design on control panel.

the speed can be set to any five settings which is auto, pollen, slow, med, and high. i find that the me and high is a bit too noisy for sleep but the slow setting is just nice. at night i set it to slow because its barely audible. the high fan speed setting is used when i decided to clean the room for two hours while no one is in it. being able to dim the lights on the air purifier makes it a nice simple touch. it can serve as a night light if you have children.

user posted image

i like the fact that
- there is timer for 2hr, 4hr, and 8hr.
- the light illumination for the control panel can be set to normal, dim, and off.
- and a child lock too if necessary.

i sleep at night with aircon, after using the Sharp Air Purifier FPE50E for a few days now, waking up feeling fresh despite some nights having a lack of sleep. which shows how important the air quality in my bedroom is when sleeping. i could smell the plasmacluster/ions but i could not discern it that how does this smell is relate anything to being in forest or nature, my other family members seem to disagree with me. however they do agree with me that the air feels lighter, easier to breath in as i did move the air purifier into the living room for movie nights & i set to medium fan speed which is not that audible with the TV on. ya... the unit is light and comes with handle on sides so easy to move around.

pretty satisfied with this unit at the moment.

currently,
i found other place selling this model at this time for this prices:
Seng Heng Electrical - RM949
House of Air Clearners - RM999

update 15.10.2014
i love the freshness in the room nowdays, i switch it on an hour or two before i go to sleep or even taking an hour or two nap on holidays and weekends. last time i used to use fan to take nap and waking up the room would feel slight warm and thick air, now no more and while nap with ceiling fan, i switch the fan speed to medium.

though i seem to notice that the air tend to be a bit dry while using the air purifier. this was noticeable when waking up. i remedy this by putting a bowl or a glass of water which seem to alleviate the dryness.

1) HEPA Filter
- generally remove bacteria and viruses.
2) Active Carbon
- generally remove bad small and Volatile Organic Compound (VoCs)
3) Dust / Odour Indicator
- at least you know when its dirty.

my budget was less than rm1,000 and there are some really nice ones in the market but the price is just beyond reach. i kind of like Samsung design, Sharp higher end design also look quite nice. goggled around and there seem to be some quite good review about Sharp Air Purifier.

i don't need a humidifier so that puts their F-series range of products for me which most of their price tag is below 1k except maybe FUA80E.

among all of them, i was quite interested in the FPE05E as it fits my budget, my room size is 25 square meter, 5 years filter sounds good and comes with odour & dust sensor. while the cheaper FUZ31E and FUA28E are prices around rm500 and rm250 respectively, their filters listed is only 2 years and lack of sensor for me, plus the area filtered is below what i need. so i got the Sharp Air Purifier FPE05E for rm9xx from a lowyat forumer named Edwin8373, he is reliable and responsibly, and this is my first time dealing with him as well.

i won't go through all the specs with you but this is more of my experience of using the Sharp Air Purifier FPE05E.

the unit is not too big but like a laundry basket, maybe smaller a bit but looks slim, which is good enough to place inside the room without too obstructing. taking out from the box reveal a nicely package unit and opening the back reveals the filter are in tightly sealed plastic. once open and install all the filter and ready to test the unit. my room is around the size of 21ft x 13ft and i placed the FPE05E near the middle and around 10ft away from where i sleep. i find it funny that the air outlet is on top and facing the back?!? this makes positioning a bit hard as you don't really want to put the air outlet facing a wall where it for sure will leave a black mark in due time. they could really have make it adjustable or a front air outlet. they also provided a small space on the left for you to write down when the unit started running so you can keep track of the filter.

powering up the unit and it looks good. nice color design on control panel.

the speed can be set to any five settings which is auto, pollen, slow, med, and high. i find that the me and high is a bit too noisy for sleep but the slow setting is just nice. at night i set it to slow because its barely audible. the high fan speed setting is used when i decided to clean the room for two hours while no one is in it. being able to dim the lights on the air purifier makes it a nice simple touch. it can serve as a night light if you have children.

user posted image

i like the fact that
- there is timer for 2hr, 4hr, and 8hr.
- the light illumination for the control panel can be set to normal, dim, and off.
- and a child lock too if necessary.

i sleep at night with aircon, after using the Sharp Air Purifier FPE50E for a few days now, waking up feeling fresh despite some nights having a lack of sleep. which shows how important the air quality in my bedroom is when sleeping. i could smell the plasmacluster/ions but i could not discern it that how does this smell is relate anything to being in forest or nature, my other family members seem to disagree with me. however they do agree with me that the air feels lighter, easier to breath in as i did move the air purifier into the living room for movie nights & i set to medium fan speed which is not that audible with the TV on. ya... the unit is light and comes with handle on sides so easy to move around.

pretty satisfied with this unit at the moment.

currently,
i found other place selling this model at this time for this prices:
Seng Heng Electrical - RM949
House of Air Clearners - RM999

update 15.10.2014
i love the freshness in the room nowdays, i switch it on an hour or two before i go to sleep or even taking an hour or two nap on holidays and weekends. last time i used to use fan to take nap and waking up the room would feel slight warm and thick air, now no more and while nap with ceiling fan, i switch the fan speed to medium.

though i seem to notice that the air tend to be a bit dry while using the air purifier. this was noticeable when waking up. i remedy this by putting a bowl or a glass of water which seem to alleviate the dryness.

great review. Just placed my order with senheng today for RM949. My wife and daughter both have allergic symptom. hope this device can help them to breath well

Good to have someone who is focus on Sharp purifiers.

I seen one the sharp purifiers that filter haze, but for me, I think that all purifiers able to filter haze, right? Correct me if I'm wrong yeah.
Thanks in advance.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi, definitely not ALL air purifiers as there are numbers of unknown / not certified / not tested so-called air purifiers in the market.

For air purifier that equipped with true HEPA filter like Sharp's, haze particles (2.5 microns / PM 2.5) can easily be filtered out as Sharp's HEPA can filter up to 0.3 micron viruses.

Definitely will help, not because I am the seller of it, but actual experiences from customers and even my family members.

Do follow up with Senheng if you placed the order via online as I have customers complained that the delivery may take quite some time (just some cases, not all).

Thank you and hope you enjoy the product when received.

Hello i have pm-ed you.

all we want from air purifier is for delivery of clean air, which can filter off all contaminants, bacteria and viruses that are harmful to our body.

humidifier is additional thing, which might make the room become colder. We can get a separate humidifier for RM200 or less...

i dun think humidifier can make the room cooler, infact i feel it makes me feel hotter

Well, it does depends on which brand of air purifier that you are using. Brand from A - Z and prices from A - Z as well.
A kancil is definitely not the same with a BMW car.

Ya if you believe it is important, then it is truly important. Just like water filter, it is needed to protect our kidneys, while air purifier is needed to protect our lungs. You might not see the effect immediately and seem very expensive at first sight, but in long term its really cheap. 

This is a picture after several months of usage.. imagine if we dont have an air purifier, our lungs are doing the hard work.

suit you best. maybe you yourself don't have any dust allergies. then it is ok for you.

i myself have a daughter who have an allergy to dust up to the point she was admitted to hospital 4 times this year. Sent my daughter to kampung for several months, come back to my house she was coughing like hell because of dust.

After using air purifier, my daughter can breath easily since then she's gaining weigh just like normal baby. (she's lost her appetite bcos of her admission and all medicine she has to take)

u on the air filter whole night while sleeping or u set the timer for 6 or 4 hrs ?

at first three weeks, i set it running for the whole night. after that, i set it to mostly 4hrs. the 8hrs would have no difference from whole night.

QUOTE
n where is the best place to place the air filter ??? near to the window ?

for me, 10-15 feet from where i sleep is the best. i don't put near the window, my main idea was to "refresh" the air inside the room and not so much on filtering the air outside.

this is because i switch on the aircon to sleep and somewhere during the morning, the air outside can many times smell like ashes so i am not so keen to open my windows to sleep.


i hope you find the air purifier helpful. biggrin.gif

No stock everywhere, need prebooking.
next 2 weeks see how, and now it cost RM510-520 because MYR is dropping.
The purifier is bout 8KG, include the box total might goes up to 10KG.
Shipping might increase the price till Rm600+

Every company come out with diff model and targeted diff set of market.
we cannot compare apple with orange like that.
The major diff between fua28e model and xiao mi model is the "air pollution indicator" and the "air flow".
No doubt the coverage area also bigger.
the air flow is important to "clean" the air quicker.
If we buy the air purifier put inside 10ft x 10 ft room then we might not need too expensive purifier.
The "air pollution indicator" is very important because if the indicator show it is green now, you might able to OFF the purifier to save energy.
Some model come with automatic function, so it will run top speed with the air is dirty, run slow when it is clean.
Some model also come with humidify function.
Some model target big area like living room and dining room, filter price, life-span of filter, warranty, haze mode, child lock, timer, noise db also take into consideration.

See below my simple comparison chart.

hi guys, do you know that you need to change the filter in the air purifier in 3-6months time? Otherwise it will loose it's effectiveness in removing the dust from the air. If you look at the maintenance cost in the next few years it will sums up to a good amount of money.

Would you like to have a better air purifier that is CERTIFIED not just AHAM?? It is also certified AAFA where it is used widely in clinics and hospitals? And it is almost maintenance free because there is no need to change filter regularly... this is a big plus smile.gif

You can vacuum the air purifier filter in opposite direction.
And don't ever use water to clean it, the filter will be very smelly and no longer efficient.

hi guys, do you know that you need to change the filter in the air purifier in 3-6months time? Otherwise it will loose it's effectiveness in removing the dust from the air. If you look at the maintenance cost in the next few years it will sums up to a good amount of money.

Would you like to have a better air purifier that is CERTIFIED not just AHAM?? It is also certified AAFA where it is used widely in clinics and hospitals? And it is almost maintenance free because there is no need to change filter regularly... this is a big plus smile.gif

Robert is water drum filter air particulate purifier that users water as the particulate filtration media. Venta is the other equivalent competitor.

Maintenance cost is silver ion cube to sterilize water from becoming breeding pond for aerosol based pathogen. If air con is used and set very low, the water chamber needs refilling more often. Without aircond usage, the room humidity is raised slightly.

Additionally, you can use aromatic oil to "scentify" the room.

But these does nothing to remove or neutralize VOC, airborne pathogens. Anything that doesn't readily stay in the water won't. Cigarette smoke, pollen, brake soot, vehicle soot and haze particles somewhat or almost definitely. Use it on combination with AC that has air purifying function like nano-e, plasmacluster, negative ions and photo catalytic ( TiO2) filters or Corvan air purifying lamps or plants that purifies those other stuff.

If living right in heavy vehicular traffic zones, they do not affect NO2 as with most residential air purifiers. For that a very large surface area photocatalytic purifying filter is required or spider plants that helps reduce their concentration. See here for beneficial plants.

Have been reading up on the differences between air purifier and air ionizer, finally decided on Medklinn Asens Premium, since now they have promotion RM584 (original price RM899).

The new type medkinn is not powerfull anymore as the old type. My friend brought 1 after I recommend him. But he can't smell the ion. Take back to medklin. They tune back to max. They said some people don't like the smell. So they lower down the power.

My old type spoil after about 4yrs use. I didn't get back after this as the price in the high side.

They explained in the FAQ that the metallic smell cannot be used as indicator in the functionality of the device, rather to hear the "hissing" sound as indicator that it is functioning. This is my first time using Medklinn, so let's wait and see smile.gif

Super fast delivery, placed order yesterday and got my unit now. I can hear the hissing sound, and smell the faint metallic smell. Now it occurred to me, my office has a de-odorizer machine at the entrance and it has the same but stronger metallic smell, which I don't quite like. But the office unit is much bigger than Asens, so I hope the smell won't be overpowering.

Medklinn needs servicing and replacement of cartridge every year.
The new model can replace the cartridge yourself, so no need to send for servicing unless you find that you need their service.

yes.. medklinn need servicing every year. and from my experience it only last for few months then the hissing sound will be lesser and lesser. meaning it's not that effective anymore.

service will cost around rm100 for each.. upgrade to new one will be rm450.. dunno should i go for service or upgrade better.. sweat.gif

It is a good air cleaner. But the problem is, it is short life.

That's why I don't get back medklin after it spoil just 4yrs use. I change to Sharp air purifier which also have the same function as medklin call plasma cluster. (Some sort of)

The sharp filter can last for 10yrs. It state in the manual. Don't tell me you change it every yrs.

You don't run the air cleaner 24hr. Just 2hr or less if you in the room. Or interval.

did some DIY cleaning on my medklinn. open up everything, then I even dismantle the main ionizer unit. actually it's just 2 piece of paper like module clipped between 3 metal sheet. the metal will conduct electricity through the module to generate ion.

example

user posted image

took out the module, gently wipe it, terbalik-kan and slot it back in. screw back everything and woala.. i'm can hear the hissing sound and smell the fresh air again.. smile.gif

still.. i'm gonna buy the sharp purifier soon.

There are too many air purifiers in the market.

Anyone can tell me which one is better among Sharp, Coway, Alen, Blueair and what are the difference.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, just sharing my experience. I hv skin allergies and my doctor recommended me to buy an air purifier (coz I don't seem to be allergic to any food), which sent me on a journey to search online.
Apparently Alen is the best but I haven't seen it here. Blue air has great reviews too.
Now just to prepare everyone, blue air doesn't have fancy features that the Japanese company has and claims like auto detector etc.
Google search online leads you to mostly western favoured brands. Sharp and Panasonic have nice sites (but sharp is too confusing and don't clearly state the differences of the models ). All seems fancy but apparent negative ion isn't a good thing anymore and some emits ozone which is bad.

I searched the Internet for around two weeks, reading reviews etc. some ppl have special devices to measure air quality and blue air was good. Also lots of comments on their hepa silent which was silent enough to sleep peacefully. Also, filters should be HEPA standard to remove 99.9% of whatever particles which some brands won't dare say they hv hepa standards coz they don't. I even went to the ESH shop in ss2 to take a look and the sales assistant was helpful and mentioned good things about the model.

At the end, I settled for blue air. I bought the basic model (203) at RM 1599 at homedec on 1st may which came with an extra free basic filter (there are two types - basic and charcoal for odour removal). While this seems pricey, Coway and home master are not cheap too. Coway has a rental policy but for a minimum contract of 24 months (which means the price is almost the price of the unit itself! But they claim they do servicing etc).

I love my blue air! The highest lvl mode is noisy but the middle mode is ok and the lowest setting (hepa silent) is silent.

Noise: hepa silent is really silent!
Weight : I can carry it to other rooms ^^ wahahha save money. Note that their higher end models have wheels. Don't expect to clean the house house air with a smaller model la....read their specs. Also it's made of metal so more sturdy but means more heavy.
Price: seems expensive but reasonable if u compare to other brands
Warranty : 3 years
Customer service : VERY important point....why I am posting is coz of this. Sales man ok, sales ppl ok, phone customer service ok BUT phone to follow up on delivery was a rude person and my delivery was incomplete. Then being typical Malaysian, I went to their company website and complain. Within 30 minutes, their company director called me up to try and understand and resolve my issue. To me, issues and hiccups can happen, but how you resolve it is most important. Her genuine gesture and professionalism was very impressive. A+++++

Anyway, if you want blue air, you can buy from their office or they can deliver to you or you can visit ESH electrical shop too. The blue air distributor website is www.visionary.com.my

Btw, I really don't work for them ya. You can pm me to ask about my blue air. Hehe. It's really basic. So easy to change the filters too.


Last but not least, I think air purifiers are NOT vacuum cleaners. Don't expect it to vacuum all your dust. Hahaha.

Price: seems expensive but reasonable if u compare to other brands
Warranty : 3 years
Customer service : VERY important point....why I am posting is coz of this. Sales man ok, sales ppl ok, phone customer service ok BUT phone to follow up on delivery was a rude person and my delivery was incomplete. Then being typical Malaysian, I went to their company website and complain. Within 30 minutes, their company director called me up to try and understand and resolve my issue. To me, issues and hiccups can happen, but how you resolve it is most important. Her genuine gesture and professionalism was very impressive. A+++++

Anyway, if you want blue air, you can buy from their office or they can deliver to you or you can visit ESH electrical shop too. The blue air distributor website is www.visionary.com.my

Btw, I really don't work for them ya. You can pm me to ask about my blue air. Hehe. It's really basic. So easy to change the filters too.
Last but not least, I think air purifiers are NOT vacuum cleaners. Don't expect it to vacuum all your dust. Hahaha.

Sounds good. I am also pretty much decided on Blueair 650E.

Hi everyone, just sharing my experience. I hv skin allergies and my doctor recommended me to buy an air purifier (coz I don't seem to be allergic to any food), which sent me on a journey to search online.
Apparently Alen is the best but I haven't seen it here. Blue air has great reviews too.
Now just to prepare everyone, blue air doesn't have fancy features that the Japanese company has and claims like auto detector etc.
Google search online leads you to mostly western favoured brands. Sharp and Panasonic have nice sites (but sharp is too confusing and don't clearly state the differences of the models ). All seems fancy but apparent negative ion isn't a good thing anymore and some emits ozone which is bad.

I searched the Internet for around two weeks, reading reviews etc. some ppl have special devices to measure air quality and blue air was good. Also lots of comments on their hepa silent which was silent enough to sleep peacefully. Also, filters should be HEPA standard to remove 99.9% of whatever particles which some brands won't dare say they hv hepa standards coz they don't. I even went to the ESH shop in ss2 to take a look and the sales assistant was helpful and mentioned good things about the model.

At the end, I settled for blue air. I bought the basic model (203) at RM 1599 at homedec on 1st may which came with an extra free basic filter (there are two types - basic and charcoal for odour removal).  While this seems pricey, Coway and home master are not cheap too. Coway has a rental policy but for a minimum contract of 24 months (which means the price is almost the price of the unit itself! But they claim they do servicing etc).

I love my blue air! The highest lvl mode is noisy but the middle mode is ok and the lowest setting (hepa silent) is silent.

Take it at the logic way, check out the spec of those rubbish and see their capacity.
You will know that they are pretty useless.
When have problem, look for the source of problem and tackle from there, this is the only way.

Bro. You should vacuum and mop your house daily to keep it clean.
Air purifier cannot eliminate dust.
Certain brand will bring down the dust and you will see the area nearby your machine to be full with dust.
Eventually you will need to vacuum and mop again.

It depends. Model like sharp plasma cluster work by giving out ions to bind with dust. So it will stick to wall/floor/clothes. The dust is still there.

I'm using atmosphere air purifier, all dust all trapped inside the filter.
I will clean the filter once I see think dust in there.

Did you clean your car porch?
Sometimes the wind bring the dust from your car porch into your hall.

Air purifier wont solve your problem.
Get those robot cleaner instead to have vacuum dust.

Yup, that's 1 of the reason. So you need to check the window's rubber seals.

Sliding doors actually are the main cause whistling.gif
You can wet the outside first before opening doors and windows. Can help reduce a bit, but not that effective.
That's the problem when the elevation are low. My house also the same, but I only mop it once every 3 days.

Never thought sliding doors can be the problem..

A bit hard for me to wet the outside before opening the sliding doors because those contractors did not do the tiling correctly. So water stagnant at the floor.. doh.gif

However I can clean those sliding areas first to reduce the dust..

Wet the road? Well that's new..

Indeed.. Can see a lot of dust trapped at the sliding rail.. Clean it and after couple of days can see dust trapped again.. vmad.gif

But since i seldom open the sliding door thus never bother to clean that area..

So now I need to clean those areas frequently..

Hi, not yet. Skin allergies are complicated. I do think I breathe better at night but maybe it's just psychological.
Still I'll keep on using it, must change bed sheets more often etc.
