It works great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have two bunnies at home and they hop around the house. I have to do vacuum everyday. The Sharp - Air Purifier helps me to filter extra dusts plus smells. You can see the attached pictures that filters were one month after I use it everyday 24/7 (medium level). After I took the pictures and I did first time vacuum for both filters, it works perfectly!

Does MORE than expected!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unit advertises to be able to purify the area of a large room. However, I purchased this for my large 2-bedroom apartment, as I am allergic to my Rescued Basset Hound. In about 3 weeks, I stopped having asthma attacks and sneezing allergy fits! This product goes above and beyond what it claims it is capable of!

Works Well for Various Size Rooms
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to remove from the box and well packaged. The filters are easy to install (the instructions are easy to follow). The front panel is secured by two lower clips, so they need to be pulled on, but no fear to break them, and need to be aligned to push back on. The power cord is long enough to place it where needed. The highest fan speed is strong enough deflect air off the ceiling and create a strong draft. The lowest speed is quiet enough for sleeping. The quick clean feature is good to start cleaning a room. After an hour of quick clean and at the highest fan speed, the room air was noticeably cleaner. I compared the air from this unit and a regular fan, and the difference was very noticeable. I prefer this unit as it does not create a highly ionized air and can keep a 300 square foot area clean (and I don't need to dust as often).

QUIET AIR PURIFIER
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well made air purifier. Easy to set up, only thing to do is remove the plastic film from the unit and its filters. Unit has two filters, one is a charcoal filter. Air purifier has 3 speeds. We leave the unit on low speed, since it is quieter. Let the unit run all night and have not had any problem. Nice feature of the unit is the night light (panel light) on it. You can turn this feature on or off. We have not changed any filters yet since we have not had the unit long enough. We would recommend the air purifier and find sleeping is a lot better. Glad we made the purchase.

9 Months of Use and Still Cleaning
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this about 9 months ago. It definitely cleans and clears the air. The filter shows that it does the job well, even collecting some pet hairs. We dust less as a result of utilizing this product. --- However... these plasma-clusters seemed to give us headaches. The same thing happened to my friend when he got his unit, after recommending that he get this as well. We only use the unit when there is no one in the room, or when there isn't anyone in the room for a long duration of time.

Noticible air quality improvement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Allergist recommended a unit with hepa filter and this one was on sale. Runs 24x7 on medium fan speed and is quiet. High speed fan noise is noticable but good for a "quick clean". Definite improvement in air quality - air is not stale, dust is down. Plan to purchase a larger unit as this is small for the space its in

Very capable air cleaner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to be used at work in my new office. Previously the ventilation in this office was questionable and odors were present, particularly near the air return in the ceiling. I selected the FPA60UW because we have three smaller Sharp units at home to filter out pet odors and persistent dust in our part of town that work great. The FPA60UW worked exactly as expected. It is sized to the new office and now visitors to the office can really tell the difference when walking back out into the hallway. Highly recommend it!

Works well - a little noisy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have two indoor dogs, and it seems to help with the odor associated with them. It's a little noisy if you are used to complete silence - but nothing that you don't get used to quickly. I bought two of these - having an issue with one of them ( makes a 'zapp' noise). I requested that Sharp replace instead of 'fix' it since it happened within the first 10 days I owned it- and that seems to be a big deal. I had to send in my proof of purchase (which I did) - waiting to hear back....

Q: QuestionIs the Sharp plasmacluster A40UW the most recent model? Is it more efficient than the A40CW model?
Asked by Pat.
- A:Answer There is a more expensive unit that covers more square foot but after much research I find it difficult to justify as this works exceptionally well and is a good value at the price.
