Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The FP-N60CX combines passive air filtration with active air treatment to help clear the air of pollen and airborne irritants. As a result, Sharp’s air purifiers go beyond conventional systems--and are ideal for those who are sensitive to dust or allergens. The unit's elegant design will also look great in any room.
Features:
- Clean mode is functioning when the indicator light is blue, which signals that both positive and negative ions are being emitted into the air.
- Ion control mode emits additional negative ions in this mode. Nature does this near waterfalls or just after a thunderstorm.
- Pre-filter is the initial filter that traps dust and other airborne particles. This filter may be cleaned with a vacuum or by hand washing.
- True HEPA filter traps particles as small as .3 microns and will last up to five years. Less maintenance cost means a better value.
- Washable active carbon filter helps remove odors and will last up to five years--one less maintenance cost to worry about. If the air purifier is used in auto mode 24 hours a day, you will need to clean the filter every two to three months with a solution of lukewarm water and mild detergent.
- Odor and dust sensors detect odors, chemicals, dust, and small particles in the air. Once detected, the air purifier will automatically modify the fan speed.
- Manual operation allows the user to choose between four fan speeds and pollen mode.
- Timer can be set for one, four, or eight hours if desired.
- Exclusive Plasmacluster technology which emits positive and negative ions into the room.
- Quiet operation and energy efficient.

Go for the GOLD!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sharp FP-N60CX Plasma Cluster Air Purifier, White (Kitchen)
Yes, this thing will set you back a little more "gold" than something like the other product I tried, the Honeywell 50250 Envirocare Air Purifier. However, BELIEVE ME PEOPLE, it is well worth it and I am definitely not one to throw money around left and right for little or no benefit. I love VALUE and the value factor with this unit is excellent.
I returned the Honeywell unit because, quite frankly, folks, it was too noisy. Even on the low setting, it sounded like a big whooshing floor box fan on at least medium if not high. It was white-noise-ish but it still interfered with TV watching to an annoying degree. On the other hand, if you WANT white noise, by all means go for that unit. As soon as I packed that thing up to send back, I ordered this, the Sharp Plasmacluster FP-N60CX unit, and could not be happier. With the Sharp rebate available plus a special Valentine's day discount from Amazon, I was able to get it for a final bill of two hundred thirty eight. Sweet! The Sharp unit is significantly more advanced: it kills bacteria and certain viruses (like influenza) with the plasmacluster feature, has separate pollen and dust sensors which will kick the unit on and off depending on environmental pollution, has a remote control that I can program into my learning remote (SO AWESOME to be able to sit on the couch, press a button on a remote to turn the display on to see the air quality (good, slightly impure or very impure) and then turn the display back off), etc. The Honeywell unit, on the other hand, simply had a low, medium, high and off turn-switch you had to set manually, no automatic adjustment, no smart sensors, etc. One nice thing about this over the Honeywell is that this unit is relatively flat. It will close to the wall and be unobtrusive. The Honeywell is this stout little pot of a barrel-like thing...feels like you're wasting space. So I am really digging the Sharp unit. Also, a big deal was this (pay attention): The replacement charcoal filters for the Honeywell unit run about $11 online, and you must replace every three months for the odor removal to keep working. That is $44 per year. On the other hand, the Sharp unit's charcoal filter is WASHABLE and lasts 5 years. This is a consumables savings of $220! That is almost what I PAID for this unit. If the price difference is LESS than this $220, and you want to retain the smell removal, the Sharp is CLEARLY the better choice! The increase in price of one hundred dollars final after rebates was well worth it for the Sharp unit. All that said, the Honeywell unit did give that "fresh moutaintop air" feel to the air in my house. The Sharp just does it even better, though. Oh and I am happy to report no itchy, scratchy problems from cat dander. Have been almost completely itch-free for two weeks now. Sweet.

PERFECT!!!,
This review is from: Sharp FP-N60CX Plasma Cluster Air Purifier, White (Kitchen)
Is the only word I can think of for this unit! In "Silent" mode it REALLY is silent! I keep it on "Auto" in my bedroom and you can't even here it. Every now and then, the air quality goes to "slighty impure" and it kicks into gear and cleans the air. On "Max" it really moves the air! I love the fact that it has a "thick" carbon pre-filter instead of those "thin" sheet carbon filters. It'a all the features you'll ever need in a purifier. I highly recomend this unit

Excellent air purifier (may be the best in its class),
By PSX (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sharp FP-N60CX Plasma Cluster Air Purifier, White (Kitchen)
I bought this unit about 5 months ago. Of course I did all kinds of research before buying it. Sharp's Canadian website has a ton of info. on this unit, it even has a rebate which, unfortunately, does not apply to US purchases.
I would elaborate more on features and why I liked this unit but you can read more about it through the reviews here as well as from Googling (try Sharp's Canadian website). Instead, I will share my after-5-month experience. I've had to clean my filter once after 5 months of use. Cleaning is very easy, just pop open the cover, take out the filters, vacuum them then put them back in. Sharp reccommends buying new filters every 5 years. That's a huge cost saving versus what other air filters will cost down the road. I've left the unit on non-stop (usually in silent/auto mode) for the past 5 months without incident. Works like a charm. Quieting working in the background, kicking into higher gear as it detects impurities in the air. Put it near the main door of your house and you can tell how *clean* your guests are. Also, it seems to know the difference between a pungent smell and perfume/air fresheners. I sprayed the room near the unit with a citrus air freshener but the unit didn't show that the air was "unclean". However, put a pungent smell near it (trash, rotten food, etc.) and it will kick into high gear almost instantly. With all this hoopla revolving around the vastly inferior Ionic Breeze, I'm surprised to see that there hasn't been a major US-based review on Sharp's Plasmacluster technology, or much talk about it. Is it hype? Does it not work? It seems to work for me and the other reviewers here.
