JoStec Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), which operates the air purifier brand 'Apolnus (Apolnus)', launched a project for the next-generation 'One X', which does not require filter replacement, on the crowdfunding site 'GREEN FUNDING' starting June 30, 2026 (Tue), and exceeded 500 supporters and 27 million yen in total support in just 48 hours from the release.

From 'replacing filters' to 'washing and continuing to use'.

This idea has resonated with many people and has been receiving a large response since its release.

Expectations received simultaneously with the release

The project page has received numerous messages regarding filter replacement, running costs, and living with pets.

'Washable air purifier, I've been waiting for this. Looking forward to it' 'The fact that the filter can be washed is very attractive. I'm cheering for you' 'I've always been concerned about the running cost, so I thought it's finally here' 'I was looking for an air purifier with low power consumption and washable filters' 'All the functions I wanted are included, which is wonderful!' 'I've been looking for something like this. Looking forward to it!' 'I'm looking forward to it for pet hair control' 'I'm looking forward to it because I'm concerned about pet odors!' 'I'm glad to be able to witness a moment when the history of air purifiers is about to change'

(Excerpted from the comment section of the GREEN FUNDING project page)

The reason why so much support is gathered is that One X solves 'three things'.

Eliminate the burden of 'continuously replacing filters'

Conventional HEPA-type filters have been said to cost about 20,000 yen per year for replacement filters as performance deteriorates with clogging.

One X's iCS™ electrostatic dust collection filter can be washed with water when it gets dirty. Performance returns to near-new condition, and filter costs are virtually zero. No disposable waste is produced.

You can use it cleanly for a long time without worrying about replacement.

Measures against invisible fine particles such as pollen and PM2.5

Most common HEPA filters only collect particles up to about 0.3µm. One X is designed to collect particles as small as 0.01µm, which is about 1/30 of that. It also corresponds to fine pollen and PM2.5 that can slip through masks.

The applicable range is from approximately 10 tatami mats (16㎡) to a maximum of 37 tatami mats (60㎡)※. The operating sound is as quiet as 24dB at minimum, so you can use it in the bedroom without worry even during pollen season.

Suppress 'concerning odors' from cooking and pets

1.5 billion/cm³※ of Hyper-Ion (negative ions) adhere to odor molecules floating in the air and cause them to settle.

In addition, in spaces where pets live, it has been confirmed by a third-party test that it removes 98.1%※ of floating pet hair and reduces ammonia odor by 94.7%※.

It performs well in situations where you are concerned about odors such as post-cooking cooking smells and pet-specific odors.
