Very impressed with mine (MC40).

FYI: if you crack a fart, it will ramp up the fan.. but you can adjust the sensitivity if you eat a lot of beans.

You can dim the LEDs on it, or have them turn off when idle (except the power LED).

The HEPA filter is cleanable, and expected to last 10 years in the average environment.
Replacement filters can be purchased via aliexpress etc, or via daikin resellers for genuine.

It's quiet and doesn't use much power.

My older daikin purifier has been going strong 10+ years without a hiccup..
still on the original filters.. imo, they are designed/engineered really well..

I had a look but can't determine the normal sale price.
But seems like a better deal IMO compared to others I've seen lately on ozb.

Before Impulse Buying

Read the comments below for alternative views. These may induce amounts of ozone* into the air. This doesn't concern me. I don't think the MC40 acts like ionizers of olden days (trying to engage the entire room) but rather, it works to embiggen particles to allow the filters to work/be cleaned more efficiently. Still.. If you have a zero ozone policy.. you may want to look for something else.. @Bargainshooter has given some alternatives below

update

Daikin responded to user Eightimmortals stating (re MC40) "the percentage of ozone in the room will not exceed 0.000005%.This sit[s] well below the standard." refer: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/13466116/redir

The MC40 has streamer tech.. but not the 'active plasma ion tech' that the larger models have.
If you are concerned, contact Daikin about your specific model.

    Anyone know if MC40 resumes operation after power is turned off at the mains?

    Wondering if I can use it on a smart plug

      User guide to me reads like you will need to press the ON button after powering on from the wall:

      “When the unit is unplugged or turned OFF, it will operate with the settings last used the next time it is turned ON.”

        Oh well. I guess I can afford to lift my lazy arse up and control it manually.

        I've taken the ozone risk and bought one. Thanks OP

    The Air purifiers only seem to come with a 12 month warranty :(
    Otherwise would have bought one.
    Only the air conditioning units come with a 5 year warranty.

    • tharlow on 06/03/2023 - 04:39

      These air purifiers might run 24x7. Air conditioners… not so much

      I generally ignore '12 month warranty' statements for appliances.. I could be wrong but I think the 2019 Australian Consumer Law basically states that things have to last a reasonable length of time. Because it comes with a '10 year filter', I would argue for a refund up to 10 years.. certainly 5.

      just my guess.

    We don’t have any allergy as such at home, just wondering if it’s still worth getting it? How effective it is for cooking odour, I would love to remove the odour after extensive cooking days if it removes it completely. Anyone here has an experience they’d like to share please :)

      Yes — these things are something of a death trap in an enclosed room. A country like Australia has cleaner air than most, and the best thing you can do for your health, when inside, is open a window. Air “purifiers” cause more problems than they solve

          At best, only the smelly components of your emissions. Probably most of the perceived benefit is in your imagination. Smelly stuff naturally diffuses. Air purifiers can’t protect you from bathing in the accumulating odourless discharge from human metabolism. Only fresh air from outside can nourish your soul

      • bargainshooter on 06/03/2023 - 07:34
        +6

        Death trap is a slightly bombastic exaggeration 😂
        Ozone ionizers indoors can be a problem but that doesn't mean purifiers aren't needed. If you actually measure air quality you will be astounded at how bad it is in some areas. PM0.3 to PM2.5 particulates from home wood heaters, bush fires (with winds carrying pollutants 50km+), every single diesel engine and petrol stations can make the air outside just as bad if not worse than inside air. And if you use fuel for cooking or heating you're adding pollution into your home, which should be replaced with cleaned air from somewhere.

        Pure HEPA filters only remove pollutants, they don't add anything into your air.

        • tharlow on 06/03/2023 - 07:47

          Pure HEPA filters only remove pollutants, they don't add anything into your air.

          The problem is ventilation. Shut the windows, turn on the purifier, and your closed system is slowly killing you from increased ozone and CO2. Fortunately, shutting the windows merely reduces gas exchange, and you’ll probably survive in the short to medium term

            @Bargain-er: Huh? This device uses ionizers as their method of destroying airborne pathogens. The ionizers generate ozone. Most air conditioners do not have ionizers, nor do they generate ozone. Ozone in our breathing space (troposphere) causes damage to the respiratory tract. It's not good for us. The ozone layer in the stratosphere, above the troposphere, protects us from UVC radiation. Completely different issues.

      Yes — and it gets even better. With one of these babies in turbo mode, one can be blissfully unaware that the house is burning down around you. That said, it’s always best practice to install the smoke detector in the same room as the air purifier

      shouldn't be a problem I'd say.. they dispatch rather quickly but should be delayed somewhat from the ozb surge.

      if you explained your concerns to them.. I/we would be interested in their response.

      (edit: when I posted the deal the mc40 stated '6 sold in the last 24 hours.. now it says 454 sold.. lol)

      I did the same but I just mentioned size too big for our place, got a cancellation notice in abit 2 mins later. I think the more reading you do it can become a concern but generally for most people in the right settings it would probably be safe to use. But knowing our usage of mostly closed windows in a long stretch of winter with a baby in the area just can't take the risk. Sucks because these would have been perfect.

          Ozone kills anything… as such it's particularly useful for killing odors, viruses, bacteria…

          …ie, I have a heavy-duty ozone generator and after running it in a car for a few 10 minute blocks of time it completely got rid of the smell of smoke from a really heavy smoker.

          In hotels, ozone may be used between guests as it will kill odors and make the room smell fresh…

          You know that freshness you feel after a heavy thunderstorm, that's because of ozone produced…

          In any case, ozone has a really short life, literally minutes, but it's dangerous to you, your pets, your plants if your at home while the ozone is being generated.

          And in the case of air purifiers, there's ones that work in combination with ozone generators vs the ones that use filters alone. However, I wouldn't think any of the ozone purifiers for home use generate that high of a concentration of ozone and you'd know it if they did because you would certainly smell the ozone, and you would have coughing and a serious tingling sensation in your lungs.

    So I sent Daikin a question about ozone levels in regards to the MC40.

    "Thank you for your enquiry.
    the percentage of ozone in the room will not exceed 0.000005%.
    This sit well below the standard."

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 07/03/2023 - 09:27
      +2

      This is what I found on internet about O3 -

      • Ozone is a harmful gas to humans even in small amounts. Typical ozone levels in the
        environment are at concentrations less than 50 parts per billion or 0.000005% of the molecules
        in the air. Unhealthy ozone levels begin above 165 ppb concentration for an exposure time of
        one hour.

      So at the level, Daikin is claiming - it might be ok? Did they give you any more information?

      • EightImmortals on 07/03/2023 - 09:32

        Like what?
        We have a couple of ozone producing devices here for years and have not noticed any issues (I wouldn't stick my head in front of them mind you). I'm not concerned in the slightest about the amount being emitted by this unit. If anyone does have concerns then they shouldn't buy it. Also, if it was a concern you'd think the sale of these products would stop dead it their tracks?

        • IMadeYouReadThis on 07/03/2023 - 09:35

          Like how long it takes to generate that level of O3, but in any case, I am not concerned as well. I didn't buy it to run 24x7 and will be using most in the living area which is well ventilated.

      (p.s. ozone generator is different to 'thing that makes ozone as a byproduct' which is many things.. not just purifiers)

    Merged from Daikin Air Purifiers - Harmful Ozone Generation

    This is in relation to the massivelly popular Daikin Air Purifier Deal on ebay posted here 2 days ago?

    Has anyone tried talking to Daikin on the amount of Ozone generated by these purifiers and if they meet the CARB limits. This model is not on the approved CARB models list

    I tried reaching Daikin and their support was absymal and they kept transferring me from one dept to another as they were not sure how to answer

    This is in public interest - I see 700 units sold on ebay site, I am thinking of returning mine since there is 30 days free returns on ebay, but will appreciate the forums views.

    Daikin's own web-site advises not to use Ozone based air purifiers. (https://www.daikin-ce.com/en_us/daikin-blog/common-air-purif…)
    "So the question remains, can air purifiers be harmful to health? Well this may depend on the type of air purifier. Some air purifiers use ozone to purify the air. This can be an effective method, but it comes with a downside. While there are safe levels of ozone, it can still cause issues for some people such as throat irritation, coughs and breathing problems. This will of course be heightened in those with asthma and respiratory disease, so it is best to avoid these types of air purifying systems"

    California Air Resources Board has a section on Hazardous Ozone-Generating Air Purifiers (https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/air-cleaners-ozone-…)
    "Why are ozone generators still on the market? The unfortunate answer is that misleading advertising by manufacturers is very effective, and no government agency has the authority to fully regulate these devices. Thus, CARB is actively working to educate professionals and the public about the dangers of using ozone generators. What does CARB recommend? CARB strongly advises against the use of ozone generators in spaces occupied by people or animals. Other governmental agencies agree with this advice"

      Yes I sent them an email yesterday, here is their reply.

      "Thank you for your enquiry.
      the percentage of ozone in the room will not exceed 0.000005%.
      This sit well below the standard.

      If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach out.

      Kind Regards
      Daikin "

      I'm not worried in the least. :)

    They've been selling air purifier with the feature which is streamer since 2004 in Japan. Also, I have tried to smell closer the air purifier when streamer worked but I couldn't smell Ozon.

      They probably put the cancelled purchases from the Ozone propagandists back for resale

      Such people believe that PM2.5 filters can't filter PM10 kind of like flat earthers

    Somebody care to explain why do we need this in Australia. Understand if you need this for a polluted place like Delhi, India.

      Welcome to the Darwin Awards — today, stupid, rich people are killing themselves slowly from the ozone emissions of air purifiers when they could just open a window… LOL
