When the recent Haze condition persisted over a couple of months, people started to find a long term solution to minimize breathing in harmful particles that are smaller than 0.0025mm (2.5 microns). The Pollutant Standards Index or PSI in short, had gone above 100 points in most days. The living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen areas all smelled of smoke. Imagined that you are sleeping and breathing in all the pollutants.
People started to go crazy and snapped up all the available air purifiers that they could find at the electronics shops.
My colleague from Finland actually went around to search for an air purifier for his home. He remembered that he saw a branded air purifier in his homeland that looked similar to the AKIRA ionic air purifier. The price was selling at $249 and after a hundred dollars discount, it was selling at $149 at the Giant Singapore at IMM. He immediately bought one and started to use at home.
When he came to the office, he recommended us to buy the same model because it was cheap and value for money. My boss went to buy three for the whole office. One is placed at the door entrance, middle of the office, and the third one at the area near the back of the office. The rest of the colleagues realised that the price is very attractive and wanted to buy for their own homes. On the same day, the air purifier was sold out. We couldn't find any AKIRA AP-606C at any electronics shops anymore.
The design of the air purifier is sleek and small. The operation of the purifier is simple and just needs to press a few buttons on the front to get it going. It is not noisy and you will not notice whether it is there or not.
You can set timer to the air purifier if you want. The filters are at the front. Just remove the magnetic cover and the filters will be exposed.
It eliminates airborne allergens and germs via negative ion generator, germicidal UV lamp and high efficiency filters. It is a multifunction purifier which combines purifier, ionizer, disinfector in one machine.

The precision of the HEPA filter is 0.01 micron. It is able to eliminate particles which are larger than 0.01 micron with the filtration rate of 99% or more. Dust, bacteria, fungi, viruses, allergens and other small and tiny particles are not able to get through the HEPA filter.

| Filter 2 (Antimicrobial and HEPA Compound Filters) |
You can see dust particles trapped at the edges. I'm not sure whether this is the dust particles from the floor/carpet or from the haze.
