D3badge 6th Gear June 23, 2013 Share June 23, 2013 Most of the air purifier use less than 200W of power If you on it 24 hr a day and use it for 31 day, the power consumption will be 200WX24HrX31=144.8KWh The electricity tariff for households is 26.70 cents per kWh So, bill per month will be 0.267*144.8=$40 per month , zhun zhun match to the brother's no ha ha bro steady. I dunno our electric how much per kWh, just see average monthly bill agar agar see $40+ increase hee hee ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkl22 Twincharged June 23, 2013 Share June 23, 2013 Sharp got no 100% Hepa. Hepa like or whatever marketing wrongs mean no Hepa. must look out for "True Hepa" BTW Honeywell look big and bulky but it get the job done. reason so big because use big motor thus effective to draw air in. many japanese brand design look good but actual motor also very small just like most japanese car...... I view function or look for air purifier big purifier with good look design and big motor, BlueAir but cost 2x honeywell but very very effective Sharp is true hepa la.

Ben5266 Supercharged June 23, 2013 Share June 23, 2013 please be careful. that thing can draw >170watts at the 3rd setting. U will need a 250watt transformer for that one. Think you confused between Voltage and Watt. US is using 110V. Not suitable for us. To add step down transformer, can but itself consume energy and it is not cheap too.

Yewheng Twincharged June 23, 2013 Share June 23, 2013 Bro, step down transformer is not magic. Yes, its 240V to 110V, but each transformer is designed for a limited capacity, some are made for 150W, 250W and some are made for higher. If you appliance need 170W, you better get a transformer that can go roughly double. Or else, if the transformer is smart, it will cut off the power supply, small problem. If not, the fire will also cut off the power supply and it will also burn your house down. Wow, thanks for info. Learnt something. After reading your post, I go take a look at a transformer I bought long time ago. It stated 100w max. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end I gave up. Scared burn down the house... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic June 23, 2013 Share June 23, 2013 Yup, thanks. I checked that already and knew its max 170 watts. Any idea where to get the transformer?

Chowyunfatt Turbocharged June 24, 2013 Share June 24, 2013 honeywell pure HEPA willing to spend more go for BlueAir!! best in the market sweden brand and 100% made in sweden that why cost twice Honeywell. BTW I dun like Sharp cause using plasma ion....... some people smell "plasma air" can have headache You are right Bro, I changed from a Honeywell to a BlueAir 403 since one year ago & I leave it on 24/7. The BlueAir has more settings to adjust air flow & it also works great to get rid of Food Smell or Pet Hair. BTW...Can you tell me the brand of that watch on your Avatar...It looks cool...
