FEATURES

"Plasmacluster" technology

Plasmacluster technology uses plas- ma discharge to produce and release the same positive and negative ions as those found in nature ("Plasma- cluster ions").

This is a unique air cleaning technol- ogy of the SHARP CORPORATION for breaking down and eliminating such potential allergens as the fecal matter or corpses of aerial mites*1, viruses *2 and mold and bacteria *3 suspended in the air, and has been substantiated by third-party organiza- tions both in Japan and overseas.

When there is a high density of Plas- macluster ions in the air, the smell of cigarette smoke trapped in curtains or sofas is eliminated in about 80 minutes, and when clothing is hung in a place exposed to the direct air ex- pelled from the unit generating Plas- macluster ions, the smell of sweat is reduced to a virtually imperceptible level in one night (about 6 hours).

Sharp FU-W53E, FU-W43E operation manual English

FU-W53E, FU-W43E specifications

The Sharp FU-W53E and FU-W43E are advanced air purifiers designed to enhance indoor air quality through their innovative technologies and user-centric features. Both models share significant similarities and cater to households looking for efficient and reliable air purification solutions.

One of the standout features of the FU-W53E and FU-W43E is their Plasmacluster technology. This technology utilizes positive and negative ions to neutralize airborne particles, including allergens, bacteria, and viruses. The Plasmacluster ions are distributed throughout the room, creating a cleaner and healthier environment by breaking down harmful substances on surfaces as well.

Both models boast a high-performance HEPA filter capable of capturing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. This includes common allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, making them ideal for allergy sufferers. Additionally, these air purifiers are equipped with activated carbon filters that effectively absorb odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensuring the air remains fresh and pleasant.

The FU-W53E model, designed for larger spaces, can purify air efficiently in rooms up to 53 square meters, while the FU-W43E is suitable for slightly smaller areas up to 43 square meters. Both models feature a sleek and modern design, allowing them to blend seamlessly into any home or office environment.

With their intelligent sensors, these air purifiers can automatically detect air quality and adjust their fan speed accordingly. The auto mode optimizes performance, ensuring that the air is purified effectively without unnecessary energy consumption. Users can also operate both models using an easy-to-read LED display, which provides real-time feedback on the air quality and the current operating mode.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of the FU-W53E and FU-W43E, with both devices certified with the Energy Star label. This means they consume minimal electricity while delivering maximum performance, making them an environmentally friendly choice.

In summary, Sharp's FU-W53E and FU-W43E air purifiers combine advanced technologies, including Plasmacluster ionization and HEPA filtration, to deliver exceptional air quality. Their user-friendly features, intelligent operation modes, and energy-efficient designs make them a valuable addition to any home focused on health and well-being.
