Summary: Moves a lot of air with low noise and power usage
Comment: I recently got purchased two air purifiers, my first unit, the Bionaire tower from Costco wasn't bad at $125 CADR was about half of this unit. Loud at all speeds, I guess the smaller fan has to spin faster to move the air. But alas, It wasn't big enough for my 20x24' bedroom, so I needed to upgrade.
Why I chose this unit over the Honeywell 50250
High efficiency! Very low power usage, so it can be on 24/7. On silent mode it uses 4 watts! And yes silent mode is absolutely silent. Thats nightlight wattage! On max it uses 54 watts and moves a lot of air. The honeywell unit is loud and uses lots of power. 170 watts on high! It does however move slightly more air than the Plasmacluster.
Plasmacluster/Ionization. Honeywell didn't have it.
Cool design with LEDs
Even without the rebate this is the unit to buy for larger rooms.
I do however wonder how the HEPA filter is going to last 5 years when you can't clean it. The prefilter and carbon filter will catch the majority of the dust, but once the HEPA gets clogged you have to either run it at lower efficiency or get a new one.

Summary: Silent and Powerful
Comment: We live in a desert enviroment, a lot of dust inside our home constantly, it is also allergy season and I haven't been sick, (yet!)
We just had a new baby and we placed the unit in her room, it is very silent, and we haven't had any allergy or sinus problems with her, we think it is thanks to the clean air she breaths.
I do recommend to purchase this product. I am purchasing one more for my parents and one for my office. (We work next to a foundry plant and they expell thick smoke everyday which we breath thru our AC system!)

Summary: Go for the GOLD!
Comment: Yes, this thing will set you back a little more "gold" than something like the other product I tried, the Honeywell 50250 Envirocare Air Purifier. However, BELIEVE ME PEOPLE, it is well worth it and I am definitely not one to throw money around left and right for little or no benefit. I love VALUE and the value factor with this unit is excellent.
I returned the Honeywell unit because, quite frankly, folks, it was too noisy. Even on the low setting, it sounded like a big whooshing floor box fan on at least medium if not high. It was white-noise-ish but it still interfered with TV watching to an annoying degree. On the other hand, if you WANT white noise, by all means go for that unit.
As soon as I packed that thing up to send back, I ordered this, the Sharp Plasmacluster FP-N60CX unit, and could not be happier. With the Sharp rebate available plus a special Valentine's day discount from Amazon, I was able to get it for a final bill of two hundred thirty eight. Sweet!
The Sharp unit is significantly more advanced: it kills bacteria and certain viruses (like influenza) with the plasmacluster feature, has separate pollen and dust sensors which will kick the unit on and off depending on environmental pollution, has a remote control that I can program into my learning remote (SO AWESOME to be able to sit on the couch, press a button on a remote to turn the display on to see the air quality (good, slightly impure or very impure) and then turn the display back off), etc.
The Honeywell unit, on the other hand, simply had a low, medium, high and off turn-switch you had to set manually, no automatic adjustment, no smart sensors, etc.
One nice thing about this over the Honeywell is that this unit is relatively flat. It will close to the wall and be unobtrusive. The Honeywell is this stout little pot of a barrel-like thing...feels like you're wasting space. So I am really digging the Sharp unit.
Also, a big deal was this (pay attention): The replacement charcoal filters for the Honeywell unit run about $11 online, and you must replace every three months for the odor removal to keep working. That is $44 per year.
On the other hand, the Sharp unit's charcoal filter is WASHABLE and lasts 5 years. This is a consumables savings of $220! That is almost what I PAID for this unit.
If the price difference is LESS than this $220, and you want to retain the smell removal, the Sharp is CLEARLY the better choice!
The increase in price of one hundred dollars final after rebates was well worth it for the Sharp unit.
All that said, the Honeywell unit did give that "fresh moutaintop air" feel to the air in my house. The Sharp just does it even better, though. Oh and I am happy to report no itchy, scratchy problems from cat dander. Have been almost completely itch-free for two weeks now. Sweet.

Summary: Very Good Product
Comment: I am using this product for last 2 months and I am impressed. We have dogs and some time we cook spciy food. Which leaves smell around the house. After buying this product I am really able to breath.

Summary: Very Pleased with the Sharp FP-N60CX
Comment: I ordered the FP-N60CX before Christmas, and have been very pleased with all its features. Maybe it's my imagination, but I've had less problems with allergies at night since putting this unit in our bedroom. It definitely senses odors and dust and goes into a cleaning mode when dust is stirred up from the carpet or odors emanate from the bathroom. I did a lot of research before purchasing the PlasmaCluster unit, and found nothing but praise for it, and even some scientifically-oriented articles verifying that it indeed neutralized some viruses. Another unit is on its way from Amazon, and I plan to put this second one in our den, where we spend most of our time when not in the bedroom. Also, the remote control is very handy. When we go to bed, I switch the fan to high (sound then masks outside noises), and turn off the display lights until morning. All this without getting out of bed! I very highly recommend this product!!
