Air purifier that sucks up dust and mosquitoesIt seems I am always the first among my friends and family to be bitten at barbecues and other mosquito-prone occasions. My three-year-old daughter takes after me and gets her fair share of bites at home.So when Sharp launched a new air purifier with a built-in mosquito catcher recently, I jumped at the chance to try it. With a Hepa air filter that removes particulates as small as 2.5 microns, this air purifier sounds perfect for our haze and dengue problems. Sharp says the mosquito catcher was developed after a study with the Institute for Medical Research in Malaysia. In lab tests, the air purifier could cut Culex house mosquitoes by up to 91 per cent and the dengue-causing Aedes variant by up to 73 per cent. To attract mosquitoes, the air purifier is finished in black. It emits ultraviolet light (UV) to lure mosquitoes into its air inlet before sucking them in and trapping them on a sticky glue sheet. Each sheet lasts about one month.

The air purifier's fan is audible when set to maximum speed, but there is a quieter Sleep mode that also reduces the brightness of the catcher's UV lamp.My conclusion at the end of six days of testing: I am still a better mosquito magnet than the Sharp. air duct cleaning lebanon tnIn fact, the Sharp caught fewer than 10 mosquitoes. griot's garage spray on car wash reviewTo be fair, I had killed more than that number in that period, which could have meant fewer mosquitoes for the catcher. d finest air duct cleaning maThe mosquitoes at my home are also probably the harder-to-catch Aedes variant as they usually strike in the evenings.TECH SPECSPrice: $459Coverage area: 30 sq mWeight: 5.8kgThis article was first published on October 21, 2015.

I applied a new HSBC Amanah Credit Card in March 2015 and was promised with a Sharp in car air purifier (worth about RM350) as signing free gift by meeting the required terms and conditions. After waited for about half a year, I finally received this free gift from HSBC. As a car ionizer, this Sharp IG-DC2E-B functions in my car to: Purify air by settling airborne particles and dust Remove adhered mold and suspend further mold Remove allergens from dead dust mites and dust mite faeces The unit is cylindrical in shape, looks like a typical water container, and fit in the cup holder in the car. Installation is pretty easy, just need to remove its back cover to plug in the power connection cable, route the power cord to come out from either one of its two outlets (one near its middle, and another near its bottom) , then cover back the back cover. Plug the other end of the power connection cable to the car's lighter socket, and it is ready to operate.

There are 3 available operation modes: Low: ion density of 7,000 ions per cubic centimetre, quiet, consume less power (1.1 watt). High: ion density of 25,000 ions per cubic centimetre, noisier, consume more power (1.8 watt). Turbo: ion density of 50,000 ions per cubic centimetre, noisiest, consume most power (2.7 watt). The IZ-C75CE Plasmacluster ion generating unit can be seen after removing the back cover of the IG-DC2E-B. It has a lifespan of approximately 19,000 hours (more than 6 years) and need replacement upon end of life. Now my car has 2 ionizers, the existing Medklinn mobile ionizer (I've already made an upgraded to Medklinn Asens Auto from the one shown in the linked article) and this new Sharp Plasmacluster ion generator. The Medklinn claims to be able to produce much more ions (2 millions per cubic centimetre) than the Sharp. I have no problem connecting both of them to the car's lighter socket, as I have an  HSC YC-401 Car 1-to-3 Cigarette Lighter Sockets with 2 USB ports in my car.
