Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for those living with sensitivities to dust and allergens, this air purifier combines passive air filtration with active air treatment to help clear the air of pollen and airborne irritants. Its washable pre-filter works as an initial filter to trap dust and other airborne particles. In addition, the appliance effectively captures 99.97 percent of airborne contaminants larger than 0.3 microns, including bacteria and mold, which pass through its HEPA filter. The unit also comes equipped with a washable active carbon filter that helps remove odor and lasts up to five years. Along with filtering the air, the air purifier cleans indoor air the way nature does outdoors thanks to its Plasmacluster technology. In clean mode, the unit emits positive and negative ions into the air to deactivate impurities. In ion-control mode, it emits additional negative ions, which occurs in nature near waterfalls or just after a thunderstorm. Designed for rooms up to 253 square feet, the unit's high mode purifies 141 cubic feet per minute, and its silent mode purifies 18 cubic feet per minute. Other highlights include a special pollen mode, four speeds, an "off" timer, and a handy remote control. The air purifier measures 7-7/8 by 16-1/3 by 22-4/9 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quiet, Automatic Air Filter, May 11, 2009

By	W. Hohauser (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It was time for a second air filter in our apartment to compliment the Rabbit Air we bought a while ago.Rabbit Air BioGS (model 421A - covers 600 sq. ft.) Ultra-Quiet Air Purifier w/ Germicidal Sterilization- Low Maintenance - Washable Filters!. We wanted to spend less and find something that took up less room while keeping the low noise qualities of the Rabbit Air. This filter succeeds with the low noise levels, a lower price, unfortunately is only slightly smaller but has the added benefit that the front lights can be switched off while the unit still operates. The Rabbit Air has a very bright front panel that lights up a room in the middle of the night. We would cover it with paper or cloth. This Sharp is very sensitive and changes the air speed more often than the Rabbit Air ever did in the same room. The results? If waking up without teary eyes in the morning is the test, both do equally well. The Rabbit Air now lives in the living room. We can recommend this over the Rabbit Air for apartment dwellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satify Customer, April 6, 2009

By	Andrew - See all my reviews

My nose are little sensitive to dust. So, I bought it mainly to clean flying/airborne dust in my apartment. It works great. Under the sun light or bright light, I can see with my eyes that the flying dusts dissappeared after it has been sucked in by the purifier. It takes some time to filter out all the dust in the the room depending on the fan speed. The filtered air from the purifier are blown vertically up. Thus, creating a slow circular air flow in the room. This I think makes the filtering process more effective. The low fan speed is soundless and medium speed is very quiet. However, the sensor are not as sensitive as I hope it would be. Thus, I just use the manual mode with medium fan speed, 24 hours a day. I like the concept of 3 layered filters. This enable me to wash the first layer filter and the second carbon layer every month. I was really suprised of how many dust were pick up the first layer filter. I definitely don't to breath in all those dust into my lungs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superior Home Appliance - Period!, July 1, 2009

By	C. C. Mantis "Exposed" (Seattle) - See all my reviews

When you live with carpeting, like we do, dust is your enemy. You don't tend to notice it in the air unless you happen to catch the sunlight just right. Some carpet material is better than others as far as dust, yet air pollution is a major concern everywhere.

Add to that our body becoming more allergic to dust and air pollution as we age and we really should consider a good air cleaner as a standard home appliance these days.

We have used three different types of air cleaners and this Sharp is BY FAR the best. Not only does it do it's job of cleaning the air of dust and pollen, but it does it quietly. We've had this excellent machine running constantly in our bedroom since we got it almost two years ago.

I put it on auto mode and it just takes care of it's business without the usual fan noise most others seem to need to work. If the sensor detects a certain level of dust in the air it will increase the fan automatically until the dust level is reduced then returns to quiet mode.

In the spring, I change to the Pollen mode and that reduces the pollen as well as the dust.

Never have to concern ourselves with turning on and off, just leave it on auto or pollen mode.

Before this I used to wake up in the morning with a layer of caked dust in my mouth - otherwise known as dry mouth. It was a morning challenge cleaning this mess out of my mouth and throat. Now, I brush, gargle and am down the road in no time.

A truly superior home appliance we will not live without.
