Very few reviews, not available many stores so hard to comparison shop.

Looks like it was being sold for $199 at BestBuy but is sold out.

filters appear to be $50+ each

Sharp website lists price as $199...this doesn't seem like much of a sale?
https://shop.sharpusa.com/sharp-t...s-fpf50uw/

Sharp site let's you search for retailers...and it reports none available. so not sure this site is an authorized retailer?

3rd post for this seller OP- have you bought things from them before?

I'm looking for an air purifier but need something that covers a slightly larger area. Any experts care to weigh in on a good model?

Fair warning, sharp seems to change filter sizes and discontinue the old ones, I've got an older model and I have to order sightly smaller filters for a different brand and duct tape them in unless I want to pay $100 on eBay.

I own several of this exact model for a few years now, and I'm still very happy with them. I replaced all my Honeywell air cleaners because these are very quiet and can sit closer against a wall. The "smart" sensor is not very smart, so I normally keep it on low and manually set it to high when necessary.

The replacement filters are $65 each and they last about 1 year. The filters have activated charcoal and HEPA filter in them. These also have a pre-filter of fine mesh that you can hose down.
