Hi, I've bought the sharp air purifier KCD60EW last two weeks.
I found that when I put it in a closed room without aircond, once I turn on, it has a bad smell.
If I put in an open area like living room, it doesn't have the bad smell when turn on.
I called to their service centre, they told me it shouldn't have the bad smell and bring it to their service center to check.
Any users here encounter the same like mine? :s
A bit worry now..

Omg, probably you are right, I took out the humidify filter and thats the smell I found!
It was a little bit yellowish on the filter.
I tried to soak and clean it and now it seems to be better!
thanks for your kind answer! It does help!

Thanks! Surprisedly it gets dirty just for 2weeks time!
Guess we must clean it frequently...

I bought it from MEGA HOME fair at Brothers. The shop is located next to public bank ss2.
3years warranty. Rm2099, free 1hepa filter & sharp tumbler. Got a rice cooker from an instant lucky draw.

I'm now wondering is it normal to have some smell when we switch on.
The smell was reduced after I cleaned the humidifying filter but it's still there at hepa filter.
Any kcd60ew or kcd40ew user here?

You mean No smell at all?

Ok thanks, I think I need to bring the unit to check!

Save energy for ac room? How to say?

Oh really? Learned it now, thanks! Do you change the water daily?
I called to the shop just now, they said probably the smell is from ion.
Do you smell something when you switch on without ac?

Oh.. Hmm.. Agreed, water dropped a lots in ac room.
I'm not too sure is it charcoal or ion smell... Hmm.. Just worry it's toxin.
Yup, the smell has gone after few hours.
Just wonder the first two weeks, it seems to be no smell when turn on.

But when i smell the carbon filter which full of charcoal, it doesn't have the charcoal smell?
how long you've been using it?
