Sharp KC-C100, C150 Purify and Humidify Your Air Stylishly

Kit Eaton — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 07:45:54 EDT

Sharp's new air purifiers prove that humble household electrical gadgets can actually look quite stylish. These have triple filtration technology, including true HEPA filters to trap the majority of airborne nasties in your home, and their filters only need changing every five years. They can also push a room's relative humidity to 50%, and have a "library quiet" mode. That sounds like a nice function: my purifier makes a heck of a racket on a quiet night. The C100 can clean up 254 square feet rooms, while the C150 can cope with 247 square feet. Available now for $399.99 and $499.99 [7Gadgets]

Thanko USB-Powered Air Purifier Mask Filters Allergens, Dignity

Yes, Thanko makes weird stuff, we know. But a USB-powered air purifier mask? What kind of market are they shooting for with this? Sure, the silicon mask may purify air of allergens, but at what cost? I don't know, is mask wearing a thing over there? Just look at the girl's reaction in the third panel—terrifying! I'd sooner move to a place with better air quality than waste $20 on this. – Nicholas Deleon

AirPod Cleans Air; No iPod Dock Included, Won't Sell Well

www.gizmodo.com — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 16:09:56 EST

This here AirPod might look like an iPod and have a stupid prefix-Pod name, but it really has nothing to do with the ubiquitous music player. It's actually a pretty nice looking air purifying device for cleaning the air of all the bacteria, pit stink, and Cheetos dust that fills your room after a long day of vegetatively staring at a screen.

Make your abode more habitable for $99, with a two-pack of replacement filters going for an additional $40. –Adam Frucci
