BREATHE EASIER, LIVE HEALTHIER Sharp Plasmacluster® Air Purifiers Learn more about the health benefits and other advantages of Sharp air purifiers WATCH HOW IT WORKS Did you know that the air inside the average home is up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside? Sharp Air Purifiers combine patented Plasmacluster® ion technology with True HEPA filtration, resulting in a healthier, fresher environment. Read more air purifier information below. Explore Purifiers Sharp Air Purifier Benefits & Advantages GERMS + ODOR REDUCTION FILTER OUT DUST, POLLEN + SMOKE SMART CONTROLS ADD HUMIDITY Naturally advanced technology for truly clean air Sharp’s exclusive patented Plasmacluster® ion technology eliminates microscopic pollutants that traditional filters cannot trap, by replicating nature’s own cleaning process of producing positive and negative ions from water vapor in the air. These ions refresh the air without any harmful chemicals or perfumes. Almost perfect allergen removal True HEPA filtration is ideal for removing common household allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke from the air. Watch as the Sharp Air Purifier's True HEPA filtration system captures smoke particles. Automatically detects, displays AND reacts Built-in temperature, dust and humidity sensors monitor your air quality and automatically clean and humidify as needed, so you can sit back and enjoy healthier, fresher air! Relieve dry air symptoms Humidifiers can help relieve sinus issues, dry throat, dry eyes and chapped lips. They can also help relieve dry skin caused by psoriasis, thyroid disorders, topical medications and cosmetics. Heaters used in wintertime can lower the humidity level in the air, so having a humidifier is helpful. Clean every corner of the room What are other benefits of Plasmacluster® air purifiers? Plasmacluster® ions disperse throughout the room, actively attacking germs, bacteria, viruses, mold and fungus, reaching more than conventional filter-based systems can! Traditional systems rely on air passing through the filter, but ions can spread to every corner of the room to actively clean. Plasmacluster® ions destroy odors at the molecular level, even removing embedded odors in carpeting, drapery and furniture. ODOR REDUCTION Plasmacluster® ions can reduce odors—even those that are embedded in carpets, drapery, and furniture, such as cigarette smoke, cooking smells, pets, and perspiration. Watch how a strong, unpleasant household odor can be virtually eliminated by applying Plasmacluster® ions. MOLD REDUCTION Mold spores are present in both indoor and outdoor air. Reducing the mold level in a home minimizes its effect on allergies and improves general health. Watch the video for more information on how air purifiers with Plasmacluster® ions can dramatically reduce mold growth over time in this laboratory test. HOW DOES PLASMACLUSTER WORK? Ions are dispersed into the air. Positive and negative ions are created using water vapor in the air. Ions actively attach to and break down pollutants. The ions neutralize their charge by pulling apart airborne pollutants, thereby reducing the pollutants in the air. Ions return to the air as invisible water vapor. Much better than an ionizer. Plasmacluster® ion technology is sometimes mistaken as the same technology found in an ionizer, a type of air purifier frequently found in the marketplace today. Ionizers add a negative charge to airborne particles, which makes them stick to furniture, walls and floors. Only Plasmacluster® ion technology is proven to effectively kill germs, bacteria, viruses, mold and odors. Even reduces static electricity. Sharp air purifiers have the added advantage of reducing static electricity. Plasmacluster® ion technology is sometimes mistaken as the same technology found in an ionizer, a type of air purifier frequently found in the marketplace today. Ionizers add a negative charge to airborne particles, which makes them stick to furniture, walls and floors. Only Plasmacluster® ion technology is proven to effectively kill germs, bacteria, viruses, mold and odors. PROVEN EFFECTIVE. Plasmacluster® ions are proven to significantly reduce bacteria viruses, mold and fungus. It is so effective that it is now used by leading automotive companies to freshen the air inside cars, and in refrigerators to maintain freshness of food and kill mold. Independent-laboratory certified. Sharp Plasmacluster® air purifiers are tested by independent laboratories to verify the air-cleaning capability of the filtration system. Each model has its own CADR rating, which indicates the smoke, dust, and pollen removal rate when the air in the room is changed 5 times per hour. Why does 0.3 microns matter? Pet allergens and tobacco smoke particles are typically smaller than 1 micron (mic). With True HEPA filtration, which removes 99.97% of airborne pollutants as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander and smoke particles, more particles can be captured when compared to a HEPA-type filter. Sharp filter difference All air filters are not created equal. See the benefits of a Sharp air purifier first hand as we test a Sharp Air Purifier filter alongside a filter from a popular air purifier model and see the difference! Change filters less often. Long-life True HEPA filters typically require changing only once every 2 - 5 years so operating costs are low.* *Actual filter life will vary depending on the environment. Micro-mesh pre-filters. Micro-mesh permanent pre-filters capture large airborne particles including dust, pollen, hair and pet dander, so it helps extend the life of the True HEPA and Carbon filters. It can be cleaned periodically by vacuuming or hand washing. Color display gives you a reading of your air quality It can be difficult to see what’s in your air, since many airborne particles are not visible to the human eye. The color display on Sharp Plasmacluster® air purifiers helps you “see” what’s in the air by automatically sensing and reporting your air quality level, as well as the ambient humidity level! Clean Dirty Very Dirty Smart controls One of the air purifier benefits that sets Sharp apart from other purifiers is smart controls. Based on air quality and humidity readings, the air purifier will automatically adjust operation as needed. When dust or other airborne pollutants are detected, the air purifier will change from low fan speed to high fan speed to create a powerful air current throughout the room that will capture and kill pollutants. When low humidity (below 40% relative humidity) is detected, the air purifier will automatically add moisture to the air to maintain an ideal range of humidity (between 40% and 60% relative humidity.) Library Quiet™ operation. Sharp Library Quiet™ air purifiers blend in with your everyday life and allow for a peaceful night's sleep. Built to be energy-efficient. Sharp True HEPA air purifiers are ENERGY STAR® rated and highly efficient, so you don't have to worry about leaving the air purifier on all the time. Maintains the ideal humidity level You may not know that keeping a steady humidity level between 40% and 60% in your home is ideal. When your humidity is too low, or too high, you may unintentionally encourage bacteria, virus, mold and dust mite growth! Sharp Plasmacluster® air purifiers automatically deliver the right humidity level based on your room’s temperature, so you never have to worry about setting it or turning it off! Convenient humidifying system The water tank for the built-in humidifier is easily removed from the side of the unit and can be filled at the sink with tap water. The rotating wick draws moisture from the water reservoir and releases it evenly into the airflow. WATER SUPPLY INDICATOR LIGHT When the water tank is low, an indicator light blinks on the control panel on top of the purifier. CLEAN HUMIDIFICATION Superfine mist leaves floors dry and surfaces residue-free. ANTIMICROBIAL HUMIDIFICATION When the humidifying function is not in use, the wick remains stationary and is suspended above the water level, allowing for the airflow to thoroughly dry the wick; thus preventing growth of mold and bacteria.
