Obviously air purifiers works for an enclosed room but what about those who do not have aircond switched on all the time. Is it worthwhile to get one?

Many have refused to use Air Conditioning in the first place deeming it the problem behind thier Allergic Rhinitis or other discomfort they may suffer. They would be correct in making this assumption as your Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) can be upto 10x worse than the outdoor air you breath as your air conditioners are the main source of accumulative particles.

The challenge we have in Malaysia, while one of the best of the Asian countries to live in along with Singapore is that we are still 4x the desired safe level as published by the WHO. Thailand (Bangkok) is about 8x, Jakarta 11x, Hong Kong 14x, Shanghai 19x and Beijing 21x.

This challenge forces us to close our windows and doors and look at Air Purification solutions.

This has been an accumulative problem especially within the last 10 years in Asia especially with significant industrialization, commercialization and limited control on emmissions that our bodies, and this case our antibodies can no longer process these source contaminants effectively and many new symptoms can occur in someone who has no history of Asthma, Allergies or Respiratory problems.

Air Purification today is simply what Water Purification was 10 years ago, a must have.

Air Cleaning Methods of 3-5 years ago such as Ozonators & Ionizers are being replaced regularly due to unaffectiveness!

In Asia, even normal HEPA Air Purifiers have been prone to replacement as the desired results for the above are not occuring.

The simple question that we're always asked is "How do I know if my Air Purifier is Working?"

My simple answer is "Is it truly treating the symptoms you hoped it would?" or "Are you feeling better?"

Unfortunately, the answer is usually NO!

The Alen Paralda air purifier looks impressive. Unfortunately it is not for everyone.  cry.gif
Having to spend RM399 for the filter replacement every 6 months is not cheap and will create more waste when disposing the old filter. The price quoted in Malaysia is 2x more than the converted price in USD for both the filter and air purifier.  blink.gif How I wish it could be made more affordable to Malaysians to own one since the company will surely have recurring business for the filter change.

Thanks for the comment. You get what you pay for in this Premium Segment. The result is REAL relief from various symptoms and not having to ask the question "Is my Air Cleaner or Air Purifier Working?". We dont get asked these questions!

The Premium Segment is only shared by a few global brands. In our segment we are actually upto 50% less expensive to buy initially and upto 70% less expensive ongoing which is mostly your filter changes.

The Sale Prices on right now are excellent and if you enter 'lowyat' in the coupon code you will at anytime save an additional 5% on your whole purchase.

On the filter replacements, we offer you 30% off your first filter which by-the-way is not every 6 months. 6 month replacements are typically done for units which run 24-7 like all of Air Asia's offices! The typical replacement in Malaysia (unlike Hong Kong/Shanghai/Beijing) is 14-18 months if used 8 hours per night for most adults/children and 12 months for newborn babies whereas a 12 hour usage per day is normal.

Right now if you purchase a PARALDA, we have RM500 off our regular price and LOWYAT 5% special discount adds another RM129 off for a total of RM629 off until the end of the year.

We also offer great quantity discounts if you are looking to do whole home packages. Just call us and find out how you can save more!

Each order includes FREE SHIPPING, FREE Installation, FREE DEMO and FREE IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) Test! Something no other company provides!

Thanks for the inquiry. As we all know any electronic device sold in Asia carries a higher price than our friends in America. Many of this has to do with volumes they purchase, lower overheads and very importantly inexpensive import duties. This unfortunately is the opposite in Asia and adds to the landed price (the cost price) significantly.

We at ALEN Asia, whether it be our China offices in Shanghai, Beijing or Hong Kong, Singapore and here in Malaysia do our very best to help the consumer so from time to time we offer some fairly good sales events. Our business model in Asia is slightly more expensive as well since we use a more traditional retail approach matched to the Asian retail culture unlike our US based operations which only sells direct and through online retailers.

Note any Air Cleaner or Air Purifier you see on the market in Asia will carry this type of additional cost to the USA which has the lowest consumer goods prices in the world. Compared to the UK and EUROZONE, we are usually on par.

As for the ALEN 350 model, you will notice this unit is not offered in Asia and has been replaced by the A375UV which may resemble the 350 on the surface but adds a dual UV light and leading edge PCO (Photo Catalytic Oxidation) chamber to remove VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) from your enviroment.

As you can imagine in Asia, our air quality if far worse than that of the western world so we only offer models which A/Meet True HEPA Efficiencies of 98%+, B/offer key Bacteria Killing features such as UV and/or C/Leading Edge PCO as described above.

The other advantages of the Asian division is we offer FREE DELIVERY and if requested FREE SETUP & DEMO along with the only one's in ASIA who offer a FREE IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) Test where we can show you the fine particle count currently in your home, run your Air Purifier in real time to show you the significant decline of fine airborne particles (which are key to remove) so you are absolutely convinced we deliver on what we say we can do.

Right now you may be pleased to know we are having our LIVE BETTER IN 2012 Sales Event. This event kicked off mid January and runs until February 29th, 2012 and adds an amazing 15% off our SALE PRICE, yes off our SALE PRICE which brings the price down by over 30% off our regular price.

This event is offered now in Malaysia Only as with our success leading upto the end of 2011 we were literally SOLD OUT of both our models so we are taking Pre-Orders now for early March delivery. For instance, our PARALDA which is regularly priced for 2012 at RM3,388.88 in now on sale for RM2,888.00 but with this offer above is ONLY RM2,455.00 so you SAVE RM933.00. That's the best price we have ever offered and is true for the A375UV where you SAVE RM1,208.00 and for all our Combos and Whole House Packages you can save even more!

Again, for Premium TRUE HEPA Air Purification, we are still upto 50% less expensive intially and upto 70% less expesensive on filter replacements than our competition. This was our goal 9 years ago and still why we are the #1 in American and now #1 in China!

If you wish to contact us please do anytime! We are always happy to discuss your Air Purification needs and recommend the best solution possible!

Happy New Year 2012 and Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!
