In March, with the arrival of full-scale spring, the scattering of Sugi pollen is about to reach its peak. According to the announcement by the Japan Weather Association, "Compared to the spring of 2020, which was less than usual, 2021 is expected to be more from Kyushu to Kanto, and very much in Shikoku, Tokai, Hokuriku, and Kanto." "People who had mild symptoms of hay fever in the previous season also need to be careful in the spring of 2021" (Reference: "Forecast of pollen dispersal in the spring of 2021 by the Japan Weather Association (4th report)").

Furthermore, in recent years, in addition to yellow sand and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), there is an increasing need to "keep the indoor air clean" due to the increase in nesting time. Air purifiers are no longer one of the household appliances that are active throughout the year, not just during the pollen season. If you're considering buying an air purifier, you should pay attention to this point as well.

So, at the start of a new life, we will introduce the new models announced in the last six months from the air purifiers featured in Price.com New Product News.
