It was a very cordial conversation. I just asked nicely "hi, i would like to request a waiver on my shipping fees."

"I understand that it was under fssg previously n i really love to have this product. Pls assist on that, much appreciated."

So glad I found this thread!

I was ready to luge it back from CA next month. But not happy about the tax and $25 domestic flight baggage fee. Still it is far cheaper than the $150 Amazon charges for shipping.

Thankfully, I stumbled upon WussRedXLi's post on the Amazon's thread and it finally lead me here.

I had the 50250S and the step-down in the cart and emailed a CSO... quoted ping81 word for word. Got rejected, replied nicely and they responded they would make a one time waiver! OMG. I'm a happy man now.

Thank you coldmilk, ping81, WussRedXLi and many others who contributed to the thread.

Btw, clementiboy and WussRedXLi which pre-filter would you recommend? Sorry if this had been discussed and I missed it.

Was searching for data on the Samsung AX022 and saw this on taobao.
HEPA can handle 0.1 microns easily.

2.5 microns data.

Jialuck, I can imagine Clementiboy flipping tables liao... But well, such is life.

I am using very thin PU foam as an additional pre-filter in my Novita NAP501. I put it after the coarse net pre-filter.

Samsung AX041, 354m^3/hr airflow (208 CFM). 45 dB, 34W. Around Sharp A50 performance but slightly less noisy.

Samsung vs sharp fa50

Hi,

I'm not a very techie guy and I really know nuts about all this...

Really need assistance.

In the forum, sharp was so strongly recommended and so often being mentioned, it has drilled into my head that I must get this. Fortunately recently the air quality was good all thks to the rain but would wana get this as standby cos dun wana caught in another situation again.

I wana know is this Samsung on par with sharp fuA80?

If the recommended is still the sharp, I rather wait for the model to restock.

Appreciate your help. Thks

Personal opinion is that currently you may wish to wait for the Sharp as current situation is good.

The A50 is on par with the Samsung AX041. The FU-A80 is slightly better (it uses HEPA 10, so gotta times the airflow figures by 85% to get the clean air delivery rate if you know what I am getting at coz HEPA 10 retains 85% at 0.3 microns)

Sharp replacement filters are carried by Best Denki locally (check out Taka BD branch) and can be easily purchased. I have personally seen stacks of the A40 and A50 (prob most popular here) in Taka. In fact I counted nearly 100 pieces of the A40 and A50's HEPA filters at Taka Best Denki last year in Jul/Aug after the haze episode.

Not sure about the Samsung, but I believe you'd have to put in more work for that like calling the local Samsung office or something (even then they may not stock it).

52 hotspots. (may be slightly higher as cloud cover obscures detection)

North part of SG is 89.

More models/stocks spotted at Best - Bedok Mall.

Prices still higher than local online retailer and still no signs of Sharp dedicated purifier (without humidfier).

Interesting that Samsung publishes results on PM2.5 and 0.1 micron testing, but doesn't say anything about 0.3 micron particles (the most difficult to filter) which is the industry standard. That type of results, many other brands of air purifier can produce.. don't even need HEPA-13.

But if you are only concerned about the haze... it works fine i guess. But the skeptical side of me thinks they are misleading the ill-informed that just because they can do 99% on 0.1 micron (with a testing time of 1hr) means any particles bigger than that will be the same or even better.
And why testing done by China when its made in Korea?

(1) the Samsungs have true HEPA filters, ie HEPA-13. As per standard, > 99.95% @ 0.3 microns MPPS. Just take that as more than good enough.

(2) It's nice to know that it can do 0.1 microns, "confirming" my earlier posting that HEPA-13 filters can easily handle 0.1 microns and somewhat below too. As sampled in Beijing, the haze particles predominantly range between 0.02 microns to 0.1 microns, sizeable amount between 0.1 to 1 microns.

Three, China has its own testing bodies as well. In fact Beijing has been using PM2.5 way before us here in Singapore, since 2010 I believe. That's thanks to the US Embassy who reported PM2.5 also when Beijing was still reporting PM10 (and as you'd know, huge discrepancy there)...so they had to follow suit due to fierce online debates not unlike here. That's 4 years more advanced than us.
Quite a few of their stuff have certification, ie fire extinguishers, weighing apparatus for jewelry/trading etc. Something like our PSB / CASE or something. This is due to the rampant "cheong" goods that do not perform according to spec and just emphasize on low price only.

In fact, Air Purifiers are in HUGE demand in China. Even HK SAR also, it's just that last year and this year our air purifiers sales caught up. Coz their problem is constant bad quality air in the form of smog, much worse than us. Some parts of China near Beijing kena 400-500 for many months in a stretch. Yes, we were actually "lagging" in this aspect.

3A, whether or not this cert and test result is also cheonged or bribed, that I cannot confirm.

Just take it as it is, pretty ok lah.....it's not a laboratory apparatus that we are buying here.

For those with the Sharp A28E, Sharp does sell the replacement filter.
Filter cost $44.94 and lead time estimated 6 to 8 weeks.

Where can I buy the replacement filter ? Thanks

You r so lucky! I should have pushed my luck and asked for a shipping waiver.
Now I have to spend over S$50 to get a 500W step down xformer (no chance to go Sim lim tower over the long weekend)

Still do let me know if anyone is getting the transformer from Amazon.
