Bo: We used to own another Sharp’s air purifier and humidifier in Japan. In Canada, the air quality is good but humidity is low. With this equipment, the air humidity will be much better inside the room.

Charles B.: Great quality product !.. I prefer to use it without restrictive-air-flow HEPA filter which I do not really need !

Amazon Customer: Have been using Sharp for over 12 years and still working perfectly. Need another one for the new place to remove the strong smoke smell from the previous owner. It works great. After two weeks, no one complained about the smell anymore. Maintenance is simple and not expensive - just need to change the filler once a year. Definitely recommend buying.

Mark Dimirsky: This is is my second unit and is needed to keep humidity at desired levels. The design appears to be exactly the same although my first unit is well over 10 years old. It is built well, works well and worth its relatively high cost if you are thinking you will need its functions for many years. It does have some drawbacks: there are several filters and some (HEPA) are expensive and you have almost no choices in where to get them; there is routine maintenance required (anything with water almost always does) at least every two or three months; and, the water tank needs refilling twice a day (could be bigger). Final thought, I snapped it up when I saw it available and had the money.

I've had this air purifier for about a month, and I like it! For now I'll give you my initial impressions, and I'll come back if I have anything to add later.
Some reviewers have mentioned plastic smells. When I first opened the included filters and installed them into the unit, I did notice a very slight odor. However, once I turned the machine on and started using it, there was no smell whatsoever. The air that comes out of this air purifier has no odor that I can detect. I tend to be sensitive to chemical smells, but I'll admit that some people may be able to sense odors that I cannot. The best we can do here is describe our own experiences.
One of the first things you will notice about this model is that it is always processing a significant amount of air, even if it is making no noticeable noise. It's quite impressive. The clean air blows out of the top of the device, so it contributes to air circulation without blowing in your face.
I've had two air purifiers before this one. The first was one of the round Honeywell HEPA models. I bought that one in the late 90s, when HEPA air purifiers were a novelty. The Honeywell was very loud, and I...

OC Resident:
I've had this unit for just a day, so this is a preliminary review based on a minimal amount of time with the unit. For a little background, I have this unit in my bedroom, which is 700 square feet with very high ceilings. I also run an IQAir Health Pro Plus in the bedroom. My main purpose for buying the Sharp was to assist the IQAir during bad air days because the size of my bedroom is pushing the upper limits of what the IQAir can handle.
I use a Dylos DC1100 Pro laser particle scanner to test the effectiveness of my air purifiers. My house is currently running about 400,000 particles per cubicle foot, which is relatively dirty air for my neighborhood. It's a pretty smoggy day out in Southern California today. Running the IQAir I was only able to reduce the particle load to about 160,000. So I set up the Sharp and ran it on high for six hours today. When I came back to test it, my Dylos was showing a reading of 10,000 particles, which is almost a 95% improvement in air quality - not bad!
For my next test, I move the unit down to my office - 150 square feet, so much smaller than the bedroom. The particle count when I first begin the test...

It's an excellent air purifier & very quiet. I have it in a large bedroom and it works very well. I have terrible allergies, but now don't wake up sneezing in in the middle of the night or all congested. And, another plus is I barely have to dust! It runs 24/7 even with the bedroom door open and it's very effective for that whole part of the apartment. Where I live is not only near major intersection & freeway, but there are many blooming trees and gardens year round. This is the first time in the 3 years that I've been living in Sherman Oaks that my allergies are under control. I've tried many other brands of air purifiers, but this one is the best.
At first I thought it might not be working because it was so quiet, but when I brought in a basket of dirty laundry to sort suddenly I heard swoosh & the light turned red in reaction to the dirty clothes as it went into attack mode. Same thing if I've happened to open my window and a smoker walks by. There is something about the Plasmacluster technology that makes the atmosphere very relaxing (I have a Sharp portable AC with the same technology in another room). I am sold on this...
