Combat The Haze With SHARP Malaysia Mosquito Catcher Plasmacluster Air Purifier (FPFM40LB)

The haze was back in Malaysia, and it seems to be staying for quite some time now. Waking up to a hazy view on a weekend wasn't exactly what I was looking forward to. With two kids at home, it made me worry of the air quality at home. After attending the launch of SHARP World's First Mosquito Catcher Air Purifier the other day, I took home one unit for my home, eager to test it out. Check out what it has to offer below.

The FP-FM40L-B, which is the model name given to SHARP World's First Mosquito Catcher Air Purifier was introduced to us via a short skit, and video. A breakthrough design in the expanding SHARP's air purifier line-up. This new model would definately enhance SHARP's position as Malaysia's number one air purifier brand. I personally have been using one of their older models since 2012

SHARP introduced the new concept "24 hours Family Protection throughout the Year", where the new Mosquito Catcher Air Purifier will feature SHARP's Plasmacluster Ion (PCI) technology that protects from viruses, allerges and microbes. Its air purifier function offers protection from dust and tiny particles especially PM2.5. With the on-going bad haze, this is extremely important and useful to our well-being.

Upon reaching home with the unit, I wasted no time to unbox it. Now the SHARP Malaysia Mosquito Catcher Plasmacluster Air Purifier (FPFM40LB) is pretty big, but surprisingly light, as it can be lifted with only one hand. The whole package is completed with the mosquito catching mechanisms which actually seduce and trap mosquitos inside the unit, which in turn reduces the nuisance and threats of mosquito relates diseases (especially dengue!)

High Density Plasmacluster Ions Remove Airborne Mold and Viruses

Plasmacluster is Sharp's unique sanitizing technology that purifies the air by emitting highly safe positive and negative ions of the same type found in nature. It sanitizes and purifies suspended airborne mold, viruses and allergens.

High-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA), also sometimes called high- efficiency particulate arresting or high-efficiency particulate air, is used in this latest air purifier from SHARP. The air is purified via the 3-step system, the first to remove static electricity, the second to collect dust and other particles, and the final step is to use its high performance filters to capture airborne dust particles.

The mosquito catching mechanisms are the result of the product's design, which features LED UV light (seductive to some species), black body (attractive colour for mosquitos), narrow shape of side air inlets (designed according to mosquito's behaviour that likes to hide in narrow spaces), powerful air flow and suction of SHARP's air purifier and uniquely designed replaceable 3-layer glue sheet. All these are non-toxic materials, posing no harm to humans, and even small children. 


One of the biggest plus points of the FPFM40LB would be the HAZE mode function. When it starts in Haze mode, operation is at maximum airflow for the first 10 minutes, and then switches to high airflow for the next 50 minutes. After that operation alternates between low and high airflow every 20 minutes. With stronger airflow for the first 60 minutes, a high density of Plasmacluster ions is dispersed to the entire room, which reduces static electricity, making it easy to capture haze particles.
