Sharp FP-N40CX Plasma Cluster Air Purifier/Fan System, White Review
What a great air cleaner this is. I just got it yesterday and it exceeded my expectations in many ways. I had read about how quiet this unit is so I expected it to be as quiet as it is, yet I didn't realize that the first three speeds are from ultra quiet to plain quiet. In other words it's hardly noticable.
The airflow on all speeds is more than my two Orecks and this unit just plain looks great in any room. Although a bit larger in size it looks good enough so that's not a problem. I equate the size to more airflow thus that's a good thing.
I had thought about the larger Sharp 60 model, but for the money this is the one I got. After rebates I just broke a C note for a brand new unit.
What a deal, what a machine! I'm impressed enough I may order another one before the end of the year to take advantage of their rebate special, which can be found looking around.
Oh yes, one more thing. Just because the 40 unit does not include a dust sensor, which is why I need a cleaner in the first place, this unit does just as good a job of cleaning dust as the larger unit does, relative to its airflow.
I'm operating this unit in our living room which is 18 x 20 with excellent results. This is a bigger room (360 sq, vs the 330 sq recommended for this size unit) and I probably could have bought the larger unit, but I'm totally happy with this one. The price/performance is one to be beat.
From one to five stars I will give this a TEN STAR rating.
Great Job Sharp!!!

Great product - Alexander Lin - SF, bay area.
Except for the missing feature - odor sensor, everything is perfect.
Elegant looks, extremely quiet (compare with my previous purifier- Honeywell) and most important of all, it does make the air clean and fresh. I won't hesitate buying another one for my parents!
Worth it! - D. Martin - MASS
Since my husband and I purchased this purifier, there has been a significant decrease of dust in both the living room and dining room. It's incredibly quiet and with the addition of other improvements in my environment, my asthma is much better. We definitely recommend this product! I'll be getting another for the bedroom.
Not the Best - Richard Wong - Ewing, NJ United States
It is a ok unit, just not the best in term of performance per price. It has a CADR of 150 and costs 0, while the Honeywell 50250 has a CADR of 250 and costs only 0. The numbers are reversed. The Honeywell has a lifetime permanent HEPA filter. Consumer reports rank Shapr FP-N40CX's sister model fairly low and rank the Honeywell 50250 very high. Whirlpool AP450 is better as well. Whirlpool AP450 has a CADR of 330 and costs the same. It has more than double the CADR!
It really depends what you want. I value actual purifying power over quietness, thus 50250 is a much better unit for me than FP-N40CX. However, if quietness is very important to you, then this is a ok choice. Even then, a Whirlpool AP450 is better. Beware of the ionization/plasmacluster ability. I have read some people claim how they like the fresh smell this unit produces. That is not fresh smell.... That "fresh" smell is hazard to your health. This unit produces oxidizing agents, such as hydroxyl radical, which is not exactly the kind of thing you want to breath in. Yes, it produces minimal ozone which is a big concern for other ionizer. Instead it produces other oxidizer. Do you drink Clorox blench? Why not? It smells fresh and it is full of oxidant agents too. Also, do you drink hydrogen peroxide? It looks like water and smell like water. In fact, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) only has one more oxygen than normal water (H2O). Well, you cannot drink it because ... Yes, you guess it. It is a strong oxidizer. Even heard of green tea and red wine is good for your health because of the antioxidiants in them, which can slow down oxidization process in your body. Good stuffs. Well, this unit produces the oppose thing. It increases oxidation reactions. I hope now you know why you do not want to breath in oxidizing agents... Still don't believe me? Go read reports from consumer reports, air purifier america or even ask your family doctor about consuming oxidizing agents.
Look, this unit is not bad if you know how and where to use it. Just like my earlier analogy to Clorox blench and hydrogen peroxide. I have a bottle of each at my home, and as long as I know how and what they do, than I am safe. Same here, if you know exactly what this unit produces and use it safely, then it is a ok unit. However, taking deep breath in front of this plasma cluster is just .
