Sharp Features and Services

The features that Sharp offers with air purifiers include improved performance, health, and innovation. All Sharp Electronic products allow you to benefit from Plasmacluster Ion technology.

Plasmacluster Ion Technology

Sharp’s patented Plasmacluster® ion technology does what traditional filters cannot: effectively eliminate bacteria, germs, viruses, mold, and odors.; achieved by replicating nature’s cleaning process of producing positive and negative ions from water vapor in the air, according to Sharp. As a result, these ions cleanse the air without harmful chemicals or perfumes.

Odor Reduction

We’ve all been there before. There’s a distinct smell in our environment, yet we may not be able to identify it accurately to get rid of it effectively. An air purifier can solve that for you; however, an air purifier with Sharp’s patented Plasmacluster ion technology goes above and beyond. Plasmacluster ions can eliminate odors no matter where they are; this includes smells that seem stuck in carpets, upholstered furniture, or drapery such as pet odors, odors from cooking, cigarette smoke, and more.

Mold Reduction

You can find Mold and mold spores both indoors and outdoors. However, indoor mold can seriously impact the quality of your indoor air. As a result, if you or a loved one suffers from allergies, asthma, mold exposure can trigger allergic reactions and even lead to serious health concerns. Sharp’s Plasmacluster ions can reduce mold levels at home, making it a safer and healthier place for you and your family. 

Static Electricity Reduction

People who choose Sharp air purifiers benefit from a reduction in static electricity. While some people mistake Sharp’s Plasmacluster Ion Technology as the same technology found in an ionizer, it is far from it. Ionizers add a negative charge to harmful airborne particles, making them stick to walls, furniture, and floors. However, Sharp’s Plasmacluster ion technology effectively eliminates bacteria, germs, viruses, mold, and odors.

Library Quiet

An air purifier that expertly cleans the air in your room but keeps you from sleeping or interrupts quality time with family isn’t doing its job well. Sharp air purifiers feature a Library Quiet operation that provides comfort without the additional noise associated with air purifiers. This makes the company’s purifiers among the quietest on the market and ideal for social occasions, reading at night, or working.

Energy Efficiency

Although energy efficiency is essential to many people, most do not want to pay higher energy bills in exchange for cleaner air. Since the fan in a Sharp Electronics air purifier doesn’t have to work as hard as other units on the marketplace today, Sharp air purifiers are among the most energy-efficient worldwide because of the output they provide. For example, they usually use about the same amount of energy as a light bulb.
