Very happy with this air purifier with humidifying function!!!
Updated Feb 10,2016It’s still working just fine. I’ve been using it everyday since I got it. Especially winter when it’s dry and cold outside. I usually have the windows and doors closed coz it’s cold and the heater is on. Hence the air purified is needed plus humidifier helps me a lot at night through out my sleep. The filters are still doing great. I washed the charcoal filter ( black one) once in awhile and still work like a champ. I can’t say enough how much I love this air purifier which help me to get rid of allergies and flu ( Plasma cluster kill the virus and bacteria in the air). At this point I know it sounds so cheesy but I can’t live without it in the daily life. Worth the money and best gift for myself EVER.************************************************************************************************It took some time to write this product review for me but so far I love it and very happy with it.Just to clarify I bought this product by myself I dont get discount to exchange the review.I did a lot of research before I bought it. Here is the reasons why1. My room is about 498 ft2 ( minus the bathroom, closet and laundry room it’s about 350 ft2) which is perfect size according to product info it’s for room up to 347 square feet. However when you buy air purifying you can calculate by using the number of AHAM Certified CADR x 1.5 = capacity of size’s room (ft2)for this product it has Dust/Smoke/Pollen = 231/220/245 use the number of Dust 231 x 1.5 = 346.5 ft2 so it’s pretty accurate to info of this product.Don’t be fooled by some brand that tell you to use for medium or large room but the number of CADR is low because it’s not efficient to purifying the air. The higher number the better air purify.Some companies /brands say their products for 550 ft2 or bigger but to be practical it’s really not for exampleRabbit Air BioGS 2.0 : The BioGS SPA-550A air purifier advertise that will filter all the air in a room up to 550 sq but the CADR as belowSPA-550A CADRs / Sharp KC-860Test RatingDust 149 /231Pollen 162 / 220Smoke 135 /245as you can see Sharp KC-860U is better in every Category with the same price.Don’t forget to look up CADR number before you buy air purifier any brands as you know they can say whatever… for mid size room , large room , 550 ft2 625 ft2 or anything but they CAN’T lie on CADR number.It’s the same standard that test the products for every brand.2. This sharp KC-860 has Plasmacluster® ion technology from Sharp.It is remarkable!! It’s better than Ionizer.. you know some brands only have filters or might have negative ion technology but Sharp is amazing that purifies the air by emitting positive and negative ions.It deactivates suspended airborne mould, viruses, dust mite allergens and bacteria and also odors like pet, cooking, garbage and cigarette smoke. Like I said I live in studio room which is kitchen is open sometime when I cooked it had smoke a lot and fire alarm went crazy I turn on high setting and everything was fine.(…)(…)3. Permanent Pre-Filter ( washable), long life active carbon filter ( up to 5 years and washable ) , long life True Hepa filter ( up to 5 years but can’t wash it).For me It think this is one think you should consider when you buy air purifier because I know some brands are cheaper but look up on filter they have to be changed every 6 months ,8 month or 2 years cost of heap filter of course not cheap so total cost at the end would be the same but you will get a lot better quality product and definitely more functional and powerful.(…)4. Sharps’s sensor works great !! it detects dust automatically and sensor display change from green to orange from orange to red( if it’s really dusty) somehow I find this kinda entertaining. If you set on Auto setting the fan will go on high automatically until sensor is back on orange and green then the fan come back to medium and low eventually.(…)5. I love this special “Humidifying function” : Unlike any other air purifiers this product has advance and beyond technology. I live in Seattle I know it’s rain a lot but in winter it’s cold and dry or I usually turn on the heater so the humid in my room is pretty low during this time ( should be between 40 – 60 if it’s less than 40 yes virus,bacteria and mold is hard to survive so am I lol however if more than 60 of course mold can grow easily ,bacteria and virus love high humid). This product control humidity and when it’s dry or low humid it adds up quickly and constantly.When I sleep I normally set on “clean air and humidify” mode by overnight it runs out of water! wowIt helps me a lot when I have the heat on because I hate waking up with dry throat,dry nose and chap lips.****The tank holds 1.14 gallons, around 9 pints, of water.6. Sharp KC-860U is really quite on low setting mode ( they have 3 mode high/medium/low). I basically can’t hear the noise of it at all when it’s on low I saw on another website review this product is among the quietest air cleaners especially considering the air-cleaning power generated. Even on medium it doesn’t bother me when I watch TV but on high it could be a lil loud well sound like when the heater is operating.7. sleek design, very stylish more than that you can adjust the light display ( normal/dim off)- Ion can be on/off- clean air ( only air filter) or Clean air& humidify ( air and humid)- Quick clean : very intelligent mode the fan will kick high first then clean the air for awhile and back to normal mode whatever you set.- Auto mode : adjust,detect and react automatically normally if the sensor display on green light the fan is on low but when it detects the dust the sensor changed color the fan go high and back to low.(…)Cons:1. Only one year warranty2. I heard from other review said their customer service is not good in this case I don’t know yet but I will update my review in the futureWhat I can ask for more for this price range 🙂 so far I’m very happy with it and if you need more information you can check on the links below.Hope I can help you to decide :)http://www.sharpusa.com/ForHome/HomeEnvironment/AirPurifier/Models/KC860U.aspx?tech_specs=1http://www.air-purifier-power.com/sharpplasmaclusterkc860ureview.html

Super quiet and easy to use
I never paid much attention for the need for air purifier until the smoke from all the fire in the west where my family and I live. Instantly, I picked 2 of the top of the line of air purifiers by the brand I can trust for its state of the art innovation and technology and reliability: FXJ80U by SHARP. They are well worth paying premium for great technology that will last: I am especially enthusiastic about the SHARP Plasmacluster technology that generates ions that actively eliminates microscopic pollutants.And the double filter system using HEPA filter gives me sense of peace of mind. For example, according to PC magazine, NASA study found that HEPA filters can capture almost 100 percent of particles as small as 0.01 micrometers (or 10 nanometers), well exceeding the standard. To put that in perspective, COVID-19 is about 60 to 140 nanometers in diameter.It’s easy to set up and get going. I am sensitive to noise and this product is super quiet which I love. The app is convenient to use and also love using Alexa to change settings.The 2 air purifiers I bought have been magnificent for me and family, and have been recommending my colleagues to buy SHARP air purifier FXJ80U.

As silent and efficient as advertised (check out youtube’s videos. I confirm, they’re for real), this is quite an impressive piece of electronic that does filter out most of the smaller particles. I have not yet tried to wash the filters, but I have used my vacuum cleaner to clean the hepa filter.The KC860U can handle one room, but not more. I loved the first one so much that I bought a second one for the living room.With my NEATO vacuum robot and these Air Purifiers, I hardly have to dust my rooms anymore.The humidifier is quite a plus even though you must refill it daily, sometimes faster.BTW, Amazon’s customer service was absolutely fabulous in handling my issues with one of the Air Purifier.

I have bought many different humidifiers, including ultrasonic, large and small, with and without filters. I have bought many different ozonators. I have used many essential oil diffusers. I usually get sick within a few days of travel because of the dry stale impure air. I used to have an immediate reaction to mold; many hotel rooms have mold. Many homes on the ocean have areas that are musty. I stayed in a house on the ocean that had one of these humidifier/purifiers and left as healthy as I arrived. For the first time when traveling, I had no sore dry throat, coughing, plugged nose, headache and all the other symptoms that go along with dry unclean air. I bought one of these immediately for my home. What a difference in air quality!

This products has digital Hydrometer display. Easy to see Hydro level. Very silence so no problem to use if setup distance 3 meter from beside of bed. This machine keeps good condition my throat condition to avoid coughing and avoid to itch due to dry skin. Spare parts are available at Canada. Ag+ ion cartridge is effective to avoid mold corrosion in the tank and water filter. No timer function available. If it is available, this is perfect product.
