Challenging to maintain but an excellent unit.

I learned about the effectiveness of the Sharp Plasma Cluster while living in Japan and waited several years for it to be available in the US. More advanced models are available for the Japanese market, I wish they were available here now. Great machine, but owners need to pay close attention to the deodorizing and moisturizing filters and keep them clean and fresh. Otherwise there will be a moldy, smelly application of water. Of course, living in Ohio during the summer, we don't use the humidification feature, but during the winter, it keeps our rooms fairly evenly humidified. The water tank must be cleaned regularly to remove deposits. A separate AG filter can be attached to the water tank, which prevents the growth of bacteria in the water tank. https://www.amazon.com/SHARP-Air-purifier-humidifier-Ag-Ion-cartridge-FZ-AG01K1/dp/B009ODJPMI and I don't have to clean the tank as often as I used to. Humidifying filter, that green thing, if you soak it in hot water with citric acid, I think I used 5 tablespoons per 1.5 gallons of water, the white growths melted overnight. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. I usually leave the carbon deodorizing filter in the sun for 30 minutes on each side and that's pretty much all I have to do. It's a bit loud on the max-max setting, but very quiet on low. I like the medium mode if you can't sleep in complete silence while running like a white noise machine, otherwise we'll set it to auto. It doesn't feel humid compared to humidifiers that emit visible water vapor into air that I find too humid. In general everything is excellent. a bit pricey but worth it. I am considering buying another one for our office.

Pros
  • Recommended for small rooms up to 143 mΒ². ft.
