Added on November 20, 2009, 11:22 pmLatest Testimonial just in from Hong Kong on ALEN Paralda Air Purifiers.
"yesterday, far away from city smog on Lantau Island: outdoors: 230,000 particles per litre of air (p/l) (and that was a "clear air" day, a bad day sees a million and more) indoors: approx. 160,000 p/l in a room with an Alen Paralda, speed 3 for 1 hour before the test: 10,000 to 11,000 p/l directly at the air outlet of the Alen Paralda: 800-1,400 p/l (particle size measured > 0.3 micron)
to give these values some meaning: more than 105,000 p/l are considered a health risk by the W.H.O., anything below 60,000 p/l is considered good air quality, high up in the Swiss Alps you will find 2,000 p/l ...
The Paralda did remove up to 99,5% of the particles, and reduced the room particle load by 93% within 1 hour. (120 sq/ft room) The only downside is: it's quite noisy! But if you run it for 1-2h before going to bed on high and on 1 whilst sleeping it's no problem at all.
So - the verdict is: Alen's Paralda does what it says on the tin. Very good filtration at an exceptionally good price. If you want more protection (including particles below 0.3 micron) you'll have to fork out 3-4 times the money for an IQ-Air"
This reviewer did quite a thorough job of putting ALEN to the test and found the new PARALDA model to do what it says it does. Note that in my experience you can clear a room in 30 mins on high speed (setting 4), and then switch to lowest speed (setting 1) and it is whisper quiet. Finally, this reviewer stated what everyone is saying about AP's from ALEN, they are the only PREMIUM (High End/High Performance) Air Purifiers on the market today, priced within your family budget, to implement your own CLEAN AIR POLICY at home.
Added on December 29, 2009, 11:05 amTrue HEPA air filters campared to HEPA type filters
True High Efficiency Particle Arrestant (HEPA) air filters, or absolute HEPA air filters, are those HEPA media filters that satisfy a special standard of air filtration efficiency.
In particular, their HEPA media should capture at least 99.97 percent of air borne particles down to 0.3 micron in particle size.
HEPA type air filters are built by similar principles as the true HEPA air filters. That is, they are paper like media filters that use mechanical filtration to capture dust particles in their narrow passages.
Yet, the HEPA like air filters are not a good replacement for the true HEPA filters in terms of quality (though may cost less). Their media efficiency is often much worse than for the true HEPA filters (as low as 85-90 percent) especially for smaller (less than 1 micron) particles.

Hi friend, where can I find Alen products in Penang? I would like to know more about it and get one for my home. Ever since I bought a new "Mini Tech" from super8, it is not working good enough, may be my the air purifier is small.
Anyway, I have a very bad experience with Super8 warranty claim:
Symptom: Sudden bad smell from Super8 Mini Tech after 6 months used Claim Warranty: It took more than 1 month and 2 weeks to get a new replacement unit.
My assumption: Super8 warranty claim SUCKS!

QUOTE(hackwire @ Nov 11 2009, 06:38 PM) i had go for alen brand due to the test and reviews i found in the internet. nowadays, if the product got no reviews or testimony by those who had use is basically a marketing gimmick. I didn't get Sharp or Honeywell in the end is because they lack the information and they don't stack up. I can understand why Sharp not revealing any of the information to the public. It's because they use a lot of TV advert to brainwash couple with mass production price to lower the price. Why I love Alen? It came with Lifetime Warranty. That's confidence . Typical American built product , always lasting and confident. please do not simply give opinion as of WHAT YOU 'THINK' to judge on what you don't really know about it. How does Sharp Plasmacluster Ions mechanism work?here is the 1 of the recognitions http://www.asthma.ca/global/sponsors/sharp_popup.php

The only additional comment to what I have already described from my personal experience about Sharp is that certain people complain about eye and chest irritation which is due to the amount of free radicals the ionizer gives out. Some people notice a smell of freshness in the air but this is due to the artificial purification of negative and positive ions. While we and others see the value in having the secondary feature of an Ionizer (where low levels of negative ions improve health ranging from respiratory allergy relief to reduction of headaches), we have the option to turn ours on or off to satisfy this while SHARP's is automatic to support their patented technology! Scientific evidence clearly shows that a hepa filter is the best choice and there is no scientific evidence showing the benefits of an ionizer yet there is a lot of evidence that demonstrates the harmful effects if this is the primary technology being used. TRUE HEPA is the preferred, HEPA at minimum, but we at ALEN along with other top Air Purification Brands design and comply with both the Governing Agencies and Scientific Community to engineer and develop to the proven technology which has been evolving but in place for decades! Secondary to TRUE HEPA is UV which reduces airborne germs producing a healthier environment. Lastly is the Negative Ionizer to be used as needed. Related Article Below http://www.cancer-10.com/about-cancer/ioni...s-or-fraud.htmlAlso note, that SHARP's actual warranty is shorter than it's filter life which is really a red flag for me...but if you work for SHARP you already know that! At this point, if you are unable to agree with what has been stated, compared or produced scientifically or independantly, may I suggest we agree to disagree and move on and let those on the LYN decide for themselves.

I'm curious that which model you are referring to? if you are not sure about the functionality from Sharp, you can check around before making your statements, BUT PLEASE do not make any self judgment to miss-lead or confuse the rest again and again, although some MLM direct sales agents always do that.

Again, we can agree to disagree! Buyers should be fully educated on each product and not mislead in any way. Alen is America's #1 Air Purifier and was 2009 Respiratory Product of the Year! They use industry leading TRUE HEPA Filtration technology and offer a Premium Air Purification Product at an affordable price. They were first to be LEAD FREE, ENERGY STAR and OZONE SAFE! Accusing me of personal gain through simply providing the best overall Air Purification product and advice with a leading industry proven and awarded AP unlike most others is utter nonsense and unlike other AP's we can back it up! Not just with a LIFETIME WARRANTY but read the thousands of reviews by end users who are not only satisfied but thoroughly confinced of the REAL PHYSICAL results in their homes. In my experience, consumers will rarely admit to a wrong purchase, it's human nature but when they find something that does what it claims to do they back it up with testimonials. Google ALEN and read all the reviews! For those who tried the link and had no success! Here it is again. http://www.cancer-10.com/about-cancer/ioni...s-or-fraud.html

Hi, I've just bought the Medklinn 3 weeks ago. TO those that don't know. nagative ions are great for health but Ozone is very bad for the lungs ( good for killing odours ). After using the unit for a week, i find that this unit seem to generate alot of ozone- the metallic smell. True negative ions doens't have much smell at all. I came across another negative ion generator calle serumi ( from Japan) that promises to generate 1 million ions at 1 meter away. the saleperson has a gadget for measuring ions. Out of curiosity, I brought the medklinn for him to test. His machine measured more then advertised ( about 1.5 million Ions at 1 meter) the medklinn generated almost zilch- 5-10,000 - ions at source ( this means placing the device touching the medklinn)- FYI- in normal air, yo can find 5-10000 ions also. Therefore, All I got was lots of ozone & no ions. I bought the serumi and it really made a difference. I sleep better and there is no awful ozone. I've made my complaints, let's see what they do. My suspicion is that it's not defective, just in effective as it sure generates ozone very well. QUOTE(btfan @ Jun 28 2006, 09:14 PM) Has anyone ever use an air purifier? Does it really works? How's the value for money? I have sinus problems and i was hoping it might help. In today's TheStar, there's a few articles promoting it notably the Honeywell and the Medklinn brand. I'm kinda leaning towards Medklinn (http://www.medklinn.com.my/index.html) since there's no filters to replace or clean and you just turn it on for 24/7 operation.

Yes. I agreed. The Ozone smell really bad and I can't stand for it. It proof that Medklinn air purifier realise ozone and not ionizer. But, their Salesman said the smell is Ionizer smell, it seems like mislead ppl.

My suspicion is that it's not defective, just in effective as it sure generates ozone very well. Google top air purifiers and you WONT find any ionic air purfiers listed! HEPA should be the primary filtration method! The TOP AP's have TRUE (ABLSOLUTE) HEPA filtration which makes them the very best choice. Having the option to deploy negative IONS via an ON/OFF featured Ionizer on a TRUE (ABSOLUTE) HEPA AP is the way you need to go. It is actually the ability to add low levels of negative ions to HEPA filtered air which can improve health ranging from respiratory allergy relief to reduction in headaches. Most of this is already handled via the HEPA filtered air but for some individuals such as myself and my wife, we find using the Ionizer option of value when one of us feels our breathing could improve slightly more OR we have a headache prior to going to bed at night. Add a UV Lamp which kills levels of bacteria by reducing airborne germs and you have one very healthy environment in your home. Make sure any unit you purchase is certified OZONE SAFE!

Honestly, i never woke up having wheezing, flu or whatsoever.. It's been 4 months i bought it & it's also been 4 months since i visited the hospital.. I do get very mild attacks of asthma but the inhaler helps..as long i don't need to rush to the hospital It's worth investing on an ionizer for those who's prone to fall sick..
