Moves a lot of air with low noise and power usage

I recently got purchased two air purifiers, my first unit, the Bionaire tower from Costco wasn't bad at $125 CADR was about half of this unit. Loud at all speeds, I guess the smaller fan has to spin faster to move the air. But alas, It wasn't big enough for my 20x24' bedroom, so I needed to upgrade.

Why I chose this unit over the Honeywell 50250

High efficiency! Very low power usage, so it can be on 24/7. On silent mode it uses 4 watts! And yes silent mode is absolutely silent. Thats nightlight wattage! On max it uses 54 watts and moves a lot of air. The honeywell unit is loud and uses lots of power. 170 watts on high! It does however move slightly more air than the Plasma cluster.

Plasmacluster/Ionization. Honeywell didn't have it.

Cool design with LEDs

Even without the rebate this is the unit to buy for larger rooms.

I do however wonder how the HEPA filter is going to last 5 years when you can't clean it. The prefilter and carbon filter will catch the majority of the dust, but once the HEPA gets clogged you have to either run it at lower efficiency or get a new one.

I wanted to be sure

So i waited 6 months to write the review for this unit. It was costly but I wanted something effective and quiet for my daughter (who has asthma and cant sleep if it's noisy). This unit is so quiet on the low settings that at times you really have to actively try to hear it. I keep it on Medium in her room and she doesnt notice it, on silent you wouldnt think it was even on at all!

I've found that the filters need to be cleaned every 2 months if you keep the unit on 24/7 like we do...but they are easy to clean. And this is coming from someone who threw out 2 humidifiers just to avoid cleaning or replacing the filters/units. Very low maintence and easy to operate.

unlike others on here i'm not sure if the air is cleaner, or if my daugher is breathing easier due to the allergy meds the doctor decided to try with her, but either way i'm considering buying another unit for our living room. Now i just need to find a humidifier that is this quiet and easy to clean!

One of the best air filters on the market!

I have owned this Sharp air filter for over a year now, and have nothing but praise for it. Sure it costs more than most filters on the market, but trust me - you get what you pay for. I use mine in the bedroom, where it runs very quietly most of the time, and the automatic sensor system is incredible!

This may seem trivial, but I noticed something that stands out about this unit over lesser units I have owned. The air outlet, which is adjustable for airflow direction, is always clean! When I remove the filter for cleaning, I can't help but notice that the blower is spotless as new. I've owned other units that just didn't deliver that level of performance. The pre-filter is great, and it's refreshing (in more ways than one) to have a decent carbon filter system. Between the pre-filter and washable carbon filter, the main filter lasts much longer than most.

Just a tip... I tend to vacuum the unit monthly if the filter light is on or not. Cleaning is easy, and the unit has been trouble-free. Highly recommended!

Go for the GOLD!

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 Plasma cluster 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.

Silent and Powerful

We live in a desert enviroment, a lot of dust inside our home constantly, it is also allergy season and I haven't been sick, (yet!)
We just had a new baby and we placed the unit in her room, it is very silent, and we haven't had any allergy or sinus problems with her, we think it is thanks to the clean air she breaths.
I do recommend to purchase this product. I am purchasing one more for my parents and one for my office. (We work next to a foundry plant and they expell thick smoke everyday which we breath thru our AC system!)
