I have doubt about this matter. How reliable is air purifier/ionizer since it involve big amount of money from RM 400-2000? Lets say I have small room and when somebody sleep there, the room was warm, smelly and dusty, if I put Ionizer inside the room, the air flow will be treated? Also I read from the product said that 99.9% no dust inside the room. is it true? Someone has try thsi product can share their experience here.

Thanks.

Bought a Sharp one (around RM7xx few months ago)..
I have a sensitive nose, and most of the morning I will have running nose.
After I used it, seldom has running nose...
For me, its worth for the investment.
For small room, just buy a small unit..

Nice one. I'm also having sensitive nose. One of my friend suggest me to look at this product. So, I'm asking more to give experience about theirs.

The one I bought is Sharp FU-425 (Grey Colour)
Actually there is an older model (with remote) , the newer one is white colour (design is nicer but without remote control).
For room, this size is good enough...

Do you notice any dust on your room after using Ionizer? How the air feel?

Amway's air purifier cost RM4k ! It has a test to compare with ionizer and if I am not wrong the speed to filter the air is almost 8 times faster.
Good price, good quality.

Hehehe... price is 4x the normal one... how could it be not better?

Haha...4k for home use, I think its waste but if you have big bungalow, sure its suitable

It is in fact a waste of money to buy an ordinary air purifier which fails to filter air at fast speed as the moment you inhale air, that air is still unfiltered.
I suggest you to buy an air conditioner + air purifier.

What is your proof you said that ordinary air purifier fails to filter air?

It fails to filter air at fast speed.
I didn't mean it fail to filter air.
The proof is ... you compare by put both air filter inside a room filled up with smoke. See how they perform and you will be surprise!

I saw they did a few demo in mid valley before..they go and spray smokes in a big transparent box...around the size of toilet...and then release smoke with the amount equivalent to a 500sqf room..i cant remember the company's name...but it cleans the the air in a few second...well the price is around 3k..so i dont bother to get more info...

Ahh Okay ...I missed that part of the statement. But when the price is about 8x than normal, it should be no surprise when 4k one perform better.

I got sensitive nose too. Cured w/ 1hp LG neo-plasma aircon.

Thats the problem with me. I cant use aircond since I will get flu everyday. So I guess I just wanna buy purifier to clean the air.

Arent Ioniser and air filter 2 different things? Ioniser produces negative ions to the air and charge the dust particles to (-)charge and get attracted to the ground and filters filter. My understanding may be wrong of course.

The calculation should be in this way.
Buy 1 good air purifier with 4k and its performance is equal to 8 normal air purifiers.
But if you buy 8 normal air purifiers, the price is about RM700x8=RM5600
It's still worthy to consider to buy 1 good air purifier, right?

Also, you must bear in mind that the function of air purifier is to filter air and to provide clean air to breathe. As what I had said, if you buy a normal air purifier which fails to filter air fast enough to let you breath clean air, why waste that money? It's unless every time when you want to breathe, you inhale very close with it and that seems impossible.

1. Amway Atmosphere Air purifier
- Recommended Room Size = 36m2
- Max Clean Air Delivery rate (turbo mode) = 7.1m3/min

2. Sharp KC6500E
- Recommended Room Size = 26m2
- Max Air Flow Volume = 5.1m3/min

For the difference of the price, the choice is yours.

How much?

From What I can see, the different is not too much and not actually 8x faster. Sharp retails price for that model is Rm1399 from my price list which I get from Air Cleaner House in PJ.
