Excerpt: We’ve been testing the SHARP KC850U for weeks, and it’s quickly become a staple during allergy season. Even in a medium-sized room, the Plasmacluster Ion technology keeps our air surprisingly fresh, neutralizing pet dander and smoke without a hint of overload. The True HEPA filters, which we love for lasting up to five years, are impressively quiet—perfect for late nights. We’ve run the purifier nearly continuously for a month, and the filter hasn’t shown any signs of strain yet. The integrated humidifier was a pleasant surprise, too, especially in dry winter months. While we haven’t hit the full five-year mark yet, the durability seems promising. The only drawback? The sleek design hides its power—its quiet hum fades into the background, almost like a silent guardian. Overall, we’re thrilled with this purifier—it’s a true all-season contender.
Plasmacluster tested: Sharp FPA80UW purifies, 2,198 sq ft, HEPA filtration natural We were impressed by how the Sharp FPA80UW covers vast spaces like ours, purifying 2,198 sq ft with its powerful Plasmacluster Ion and Triple Filtration system. The True HEPA filter proved effective against dust, smoke, and pollen, making the air feel cleaner almost immediately. We appreciate that Sharp combines advanced technology with a natural approach, as the Plasmacluster Ion function mimics waterfalls to freshen the air subtly. The unit’s sleek design fits seamlessly into our living room, and the quiet operation means we hardly notice it running. While it’s on the pricier side, the FPA80UW delivers reliable results for large rooms. For us, it’s a worthwhile investment in breathable, cleaner air.
