Why You Need an Air Purifier

Indoor air can sometimes be even more polluted than the air outside. Air pollutants can cause asthma and allergies and introduce other foreign substances into the body, and air purifiers help keep indoor air clean. They also can help reduce odor, and thereby make the whole atmosphere of a room better.

What makes the PAMTC14 UltraSlim Air Purifier Special?

To pull air through the tightly woven filter, air purifiers with filters need large fans, which make a lot of noise and result in larger units. Because of Zojirushi’s advanced technology in creating a fan that is thin and quiet, yet efficient, along with a filter that is thin to begin with, the UltraSlim is an air purifier that is aesthetically pleasing without compromising efficiency. The UltraSlim air purifiers are also energy efficient, so you can have it running all day long.
The Name Says It All
It’s UltraSlim. While most air purifiers are bulky and take up a lot of space, Zojirushi’s PAMTC14 UltraSlim Air Purifier is only 5-1/8 inches thin. Not only is it unobtrusive, the contemporary design is aesthetically pleasing and will blend in with any room setting.

The PAMTC14 also has a very low 20-55 watt output during use, which allows you to have the air purifier running all day long without worrying about your electric bill. And because it’s so quiet, you won’t even realize it’s on.

Virtual Silence

The UltraSlim Air Purifier is virtually silent on the low setting, so you can go on with your life (or with your sleep) while the air purifier does its job. Because it’s only 21dB during operation, it’s also perfect for use in the baby’s room (a soft whisper is about 30dB). For example, here are some other noise levels:

  • Bedroom at night: 20 dB
  • Soft whisper: 30 dB
  • Inside a library: 40 dB
  • Quiet office: 50 dB

High Performance HEPA Type Filter
The high performance HEPA type filter works together with the carbon filter to not only remove pollen and dust, but also tobacco odor* and garbage and pet odors (*toxic substances of tobacco (ex carbon monoxide) cannot be removed). The filter can last up to 2 years under normal operating conditions, and is easy to replace.

Odor Sensor

The PAMTC14 UltraSlim Air Purifier features an Odor Sensor that automatically detects odors in the room. The Air Quality Monitor in the middle will let you know when it detects odor or bad air. When running in Automatic Operation Mode, the air purifier will kick itself to ‘high’ when it detects bad air. When the air improves, the air purifier will go back to ‘quiet’ operation.

Check the CADR

CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) measures the effectiveness of an air purifier. Compare our CADR to other air purifiers’ CADR to see how efficiently the UltraSlim Air Purifier cleans the air. The higher the number, the faster it cleans.

Remote Control

The PAMTC14 UltraSlim Air Purifier comes with a remote control to make it easier to operate.

Zojirushi, Quality & Innovation

For nearly a century, Zojirushi (pronounced zoh-gee-ROO-shee) has established itself as a company that uses cutting edge technology to bring comfort, ease, vitality, and affluence into the lives of its customers worldwide. Look for the friendly elephant logo (Zojirushi means ‘elephant brand’ in Japanese) and know that a product that bears the name Zojirushi is innovative, high in quality, and reliable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ultra slim, but not ultra effective, November 12, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Zojirushi PAMTC14 Ultra Slim Air Purifier (Kitchen)
[UPDATE: I've now had this air filter for one year. It's still in good condition, and I've figured out how to use it. Basically, if you are a sensitive allergy sufferer like me, you need to keep it on its very highest setting while you are in the room (I was leaving it on "auto" when I wrote this review.) Luckily even the loudest setting is not much different from my friend's Honeywell filter on "quiet." When the setting is left on high, I can smell that the air inside my tiny room is noticeably cleaner and fresher, and my allergies are noticeably better. I wish I could upgrade the star level to "4". My original review follows:]

I'm not sure this filter is really doing anything; it certainly hasn't helped my allergies. I have it in my bedroom, which is a closet-sized room very high ceilings, about 98 square feet/1000 cubic feet in size. The filter itself is very narrow and tall, about the size of two flat screen computer monitors, so it fits really well against a wall despite the very limited space.

One thing that makes me less confident in this purifier is that its air quality detector's readings seem completely random. For example, it'll switch from the green "Everything looks great" indicator to a bright red "High particle concentration" alert within seconds, without going through any of the intermediate levels. So you're lying there asleep with the fan going at a gentle whisper, and vroom, it's like someone plugged in the vacuum cleaner all of a sudden. I don't understand how the air quality in my room can get that bad in a matter of seconds when nothing visible has changed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product from a top Japanese company, February 15, 2007
This review is from: Zojirushi PAMTC14 Ultra Slim Air Purifier (Kitchen)
We purchased one 3 years ago when we had our first baby. It served us well. Quite, automated and looks great. Now we got a second one for another room in our house. Replacement filters can be a bit costly at ~$45, but they do last long. It's worth the money.

We alway like stuff from Zojirushi. Great products and well built.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quiet but not sure how effective it is ..., June 19, 2006
This review is from: Zojirushi PAMTC14 Ultra Slim Air Purifier (Kitchen)
I agree with everything Patrica had to say in the previous review. There are two speeds: high or low, and two modes: always on or automatic. In the automatic mode is senses the air quality and turns on as needed. In the manual mode, it's the same speed all the time. It does seem to be completely random and I don't have a lot of faith in the algorithm - but who knows - these are supposed to be very small particles anyway. The low mode is ultra quiet, as promised, but the high mode is ultra noisy, so loud that it wakes me when sleeping. So, I use low mode. I've had it for around a year or so, and, the filters are not dirty at all. This makes me wonder if it's doing anything useful. If it were cleaning the air, I'd expect to see buildup of materials in the filters. It's probably doing no harm, and doing some good, just not sure how much good ...
