Thanks Sir of your comments, sound like you are the expert ^^
but it is possible to advise me, will you recommend to choose Xiao Mi Air purifier ?
today i shopping i saw Sharp KC-D60E-W , damn expensive RM2.7K just to cover a Living Room only....but Sharp look like got a lot additional feature like +&- Ions and others.
Sharp also come out a model include the mosquito trap look interesting but only cover small room area RM 1.1K
If you want to buy Air Purifier just to buy filter some those dusts, animals furs, flower pollen and haze (like PM2.5) etc.. Yes, the Xiaomi one will do what it you wanted to without breaking your bank.

He already said Ioniser is additional features. The most important thing is it can filter, clean the air. Was considering sharp until I came across xiaomi air purifier. But was thinking how to ship to Malaysia. One just wants clean air. No need additional bells and whistle.
Same like an antivirus. One does not need it to be able to clean, backup, speedup computer. There are other stuff for that. By buying say Kaspersky Pure (all those additional stuff) one is definitely paying more compare to just Internet security.
Actually I think if anyone found people selling at RM799 or below are reasonable. Here is why:
1. Now exchange rate are between 0.68~0.72x, so the Xiaomi Air Purifier selling in China are 899RMB are almost RM611~647
2. That things weight total to 8KG, you do the calculation for shipping from China to Malaysia for just one items. It will costs around RM100~200 alone, otherwise you have to use agents to make it cheaper.
3. What about warranty? Think about it, if the seller offer 3months ~ 6months warranty ("IF" without additional shipping charge sending back to China), You do the calculation again.
4. Replacement filter are cheap which can be easily source from China/Xiaomi, only pay to one middle-man/forwarder. No multi-level middleman markup price, unless Xiaomi started plan to sell here.
So what I think is, the people who sell here are saving all the hassle you need to encounter.
One of my friends even told me about this, I ask him, how many you bought, he said 3 units (he is in Singapore, haze last time from Indonesia), then I said warranty how? he said no warranty. Then I ask why? he said, who the fark care about warranty, is so freaking cheap compare to those high-end Japan Brand Air Purifier and yet the Xiaomi Purifier is efficient and powerful. If breakdown can't fix, just throw away it, who gonna pay the 8KG weight shipping fees sending back to China, and then again sending back to here again?
