by Samuel Kalenga on Sep 13, 2024
Amid our constant struggle for a healthy and comfortable living environment, we often ignore one of the most ubiquitous – and invisible – threats to our wellbeing. The air we breathe can be full of pollutants, allergens and other harmful substances. Air purifiers act as our silent guardians: they filter the air around us and trap the hazards before they reach our lungs. Predictably, there are a lot of air purifiers on the market, and the Sharp KC-A60EUW (Sharp, £189.99) is among those that stand out from the crowd for their powerful performance and useful innovations.
A Deep Dive into the Sharp KC-A60EUW
From every angle, in the Sharp KC-A60EUW you can see the innovative quality that Sharp have been adding to the home for years. You can see the cutting-edge technology that shows how not only a shining new home, but a healthy life has room for the new Sharp air purifier. You can see the intense layers of filtration designed to capture even the smallest, stickiest pollutants. The Sharp KC-A60EUW has revolutionised the way you can cleanse your air at home — where you spend all your time — leaving your home smelling fresh and clean. The Sharp KC-A60EUW air purifier will finally allow you to breathe easily, in any home, particularly in a home owned by allergy sufferers, those who own pets, or those concerned about air pollution.Key Features of the Sharp KC-A60EUW
Designed to eliminate nearly all of the airborne threats to your wellbeing, the Sharp KC-A60EUW uses a multi-faceted approach to air purification. How does it work? It’s simple.
- Plasmacluster Ion Technology: this is where the Sharp KC-A60EUW really shine. Plasmacluster Ion Technology™ is the proprietary technology unique to SHARP that makes their purifiers one of the very best available. The Ion Technology generates fresh, clean ions that one might find in nature. Ions are created in the air through something called an ozone-free catalytic reaction. The main aim of Plasmacluster Ion Technology™ is to remove harmful pollutants and allergens from your surroundings. The ions and the air one breathes in and out is purified.
- Deodorising Filter – Smell is one of the great things in life, but smell can also be an annoyance. The Sharp KC-A60EUW is equipped with a deodorising filter that removes bad, cooking, pet, smoke and other odours so your way is not simply free of harmful particles, it also smells great.
- Four-Stage Filtration: To provide the very best in air purification action Sharp’s KC-A60EUW model uses four-stage filtration including a pre-filter, a HEPA filter, a deodorising filter and a dust-collector which help sweep all the pollutants away bringing you super-fresh, clean air for you and your family The pre-filter first captures big particles such as dust and hair and does the heavy work for the HEPA filter. The HEPA filter then picks up the small airborne particulates. The deodorising filter removes odours while the dust-collecot collects the small particles All combined, you simply will not have fresher air.
- Quiet Operation: Nobody wants a loud environment. This is especially true at home. The Sharp KC-A60EUW operates quietly so that it doesn’t disturb your peace, or your concentration. Bedrooms, living rooms and other spaces where the background noise level should be low can all benefit from this feature.
- Air Quality Indicator: Transparency is important in any air purifier. One consideration is how you keep track of the status of your air purification. You don't want to use a device that doesn't let you know how it's doing. That's why I look for an air quality indicator, like in Sharp KC-A60EUW. When the air is clean, it shows green; when it's moderately clean – yellow; when it's dirty and you need to run the purifier – red. It tells you what you need to know about the air in your home.
- Timer Function: Energy saving is one of the most important elements for designing a responsible product. The Sharp KC-A60EUW allows you to set a timer to operate the purifier automatically to turn on or off according to your purpose. The Timer Function provides flexibility of programming the purifier according to the needs and schedule to get the best energy efficiency and save energy.
- Child Lock Feature: Safety: When it comes to children, we can never be too careful. The Sharp KC-A60EUW has a built-in child lock feature which prevents any accidental changes to purifier settings, and ensures the safety of your child. The assurance of a consistent child lock feature for households with young children is paramount.

Since new filters need to be purchased regularly, replacement costs can be an ongoing expense. However if your appliances are working properly, clean filters are necessary for optimal performance, and the investment of buying new filters will ensure that your purifiers will continue to deliver the best performance and air filtration possible, which will ultimately protect your health. While replacement filter costs are a consideration, remember that clean filters allow your purifiers to work at optimal performance.
