i use a sharp fu-60se and have found that it does effectively clean air and trap dust pretty well, havent tried other brands before, but i have 3 fu-60se's throughout my house, works pretty well even in large rooms. you do have to do some simple cleaning of the filters every few months though, no problems running it 24/7 for several months on stretch.

not sure if the filters can be replaced, it doesnt come with a spare and is not supposed to need replacement.

it cost me around RM8-900 when i bought it, i think prices have gone down. not sure if the model is still available.

mine can be pretty loud at maximum fan settings, but at minumum/medium settings its no louder than the average ceiling fan.

well the one i got works pretty well, during the recent haze, it cleaned the air pretty well removing the smokey smell and cleared the stuffyness with ease.

i got 3, so yeah, i think it works. it also helps to keep the place cool by acting as a fan.

i bought mine at RM8-900, it helps keep the area cool by increasing air circulation, the same way a fan does it. i'm not sure if the model is still in production since its no longer on the sharp official website, but iirc the newer models should perform as well if not better.

worth or not ah... well i consider it to be worth it as a long term health investment. there are probably newer models that are cheaper that perform just aswell, look around.

a purifier both ionizes and further purifies by running the air through a filter, it will more efficiently and thoroughly clean air and it blows air out at a relatively high pressure creating a "fan" effect which helps in keeping air circulated thus cooling the room(one of the main reasons i bought mine... malaysia is hot).

which ever best suits your budget would be the one which is best for you i guess.

But the sharp fu-60se only filter the air and doesn't have the ionizer function� sweat.gif
I think most air purifier which filter the air by suction doesn't have such function as well.

my fu-60se has an ionizer... a direct copy from the manual says " features, cluster ion balance control: the unit controls the ratio of negative and positive cluser ions depending in the condition of the room.

Ion control mode: it is said that plenty of negative cluster ions exist in places such as waterfalls or forests in natural enviroment. in this operation mode, negative cluster ions will be released in an increased rate, in order to bring the room atmosphere close to this condition

auto cluster ion mode: the unit will switch between clean mode and ion control mode automatically depending on the amount of pollution in the air detected by the dust and odor sensor"

so yeah, it has an ionizer, iirc they call it an ion plasma cluster.

it should be safe, its only releasing ions into the air, not like its spraying steam or moisture into the air, that would be bad.
