Tiger Corporation is a well-known company that is located in Kadoma City, Osaka, Japan. They have been in business since 1923, being a manufacturer of stylish kitchen accessories, including such products as rice cookers, kettles and coffee makers. Proud of all their small appliances, Tiger focuses on items that can be used on a daily basis, while improving the lives of their consumers. They promise and deliver satisfaction, which is why the company has a reputable standing in the Japanese market.
In 2002, the company expanded and opened the Japan Tiger Corp of USA branch located in Torrance, California. With a focus on maintaining stylish and contemporary products, the company introduced their first air purifier in 2005 called the Tiger Healthy-Aire Air Purifier. It is difficult to predict whether Tiger will expand their line to include more air cleaners, as this model is the only one on the market and remains a featured product through Tiger.
The Tiger Healthy-Aire Air Purifier has received mixed reviews, especially since it is the only air purifier the company has offered over the last five years. Whether the company will offer more air cleaners is yet to be determined, but they have been proud to share this model with consumers across the US and Japan. Fortunately, the Tiger air cleaner is affordable, costing between $150 and $180, depending on the vendor. Some sellers have decided to stop selling the air purifier, suggesting a soft market, while others still stand behind this inventive unit.
Following suit with Tiger’s trendy products, the Healthy-Aire Air Purifier fits perfectly into this image. With a silver plastic house and blue screen, the unit is small, portable and convenient. When running on the ionization mode, the blue screen lights up with gentle illumination. On low speed, the unit is quiet and contaminants are able to enter the unit from three different sides for maximum cleaning.
Since Tiger focuses on products that improve lifestyle and are low maintenance, the air purifier has a remote control, as well as various fan speeds and timer delays. With its small and compact frame, the Healthy-Aire Air Purifier is ideal for undersized rooms that are 110 square feet or less, such as home offices, dorms and bedrooms. It removes odors and airborne particles using a two-stage filtration system as well as ionized air cleansing technology. The air cleaners are also fairly inexpensive to maintain, as they will need to be changed out every two years and cost approximately $60.
Currently, Tiger Corporation is only offering one air purifier. This model can be purchased directly through Tiger or through outside vendors.
