Why Home‑Couch Life Isn’t the Full Stop
1⃣ The Real Chills: Indoor Pollutants
Though we’re all doing our best to stay under lockdown and keep the virus from crashing our party, some pesky critters are still lurking in the air—right inside the very rooms we’re spending the most time in.
- Dust bunny frenzy – tiny dust mites that love to hang around crumbs and pillows.
- Aroma‑rich cooker fumes – you know, that waft from your grandma’s lasagna night.
- Second‑hand smoke – even the smoke you’re not breathing directly from a cigarette can still harm you.
- Outdoor particulates – the fine dust that finds its way in when the windows open.
These airborne irritants aren’t just annoying; for our elderly loved ones and tiny tots, they can actually pose heart‑threatening risks.
2⃣ How Air Filters Can Do a Fancy Dance With Your Heart
Recent research found that clearing the air inside our homes doesn’t just keep allergens at bay—it improves micro‑vascular function (those tiny blood vessels) and gives a gentle boost to our cardio health. That’s basically like giving your heart a coffee‑boosting spa day.
3⃣ Enter the Daikin Super‑Filter: A One‑Stop Health Hub
Daikin’s latest air purifiers bring together:
- HEPA Excellence – catching 99.97% of particles that could sweat your guess.
- Streamer Discharge Tech – a unique method that zaps up to a million particles in a single pass.
With these machines in your space, you’re not just venting the nasty stuff—you’re literally telling your cardiovascular system a big, cool, “you’re amazing” thanks.
Bottom Line
Because the pandemic’s not the only threat inside the walls, it’s time to give both your home and heart a little extra TLC. And who knew that a tiny appliance could make your chest swoon and your lungs do a happy dance? Sound a little weird, but that’s the power of a good air purifier.
Streamer discharge technology
Streamer discharge is a type of plasma discharge in which high-speed electrons capable of oxidative decomposition are generated.
In simpler terms, the air purifiers release electrons into the air that get rid of bacteria, mould, allergens and other chemical substances.
Compared to the standard glow discharge air filters, Daikin’s range is much wider, creating a decomposition speed that’s over 1,000 times faster, which is what makes Daikin’s air purifiers so effective.
Daikin’s Storm‑Busting Streamer: The Micro‑Monster Muncher
In a nutshell, Daikin’s streamer discharge tech is like a superhero that zaps every nasty germ and tickle‑trigger out of your home. Below is a quick rundown of the bad guys it can crowd‑source, plus the allergens it can rain‑check.
Viruses & Bacteria That Get the Ultimate Shutdown
- Influenza (H1N1) – the ever‑chill flu that’s no joke.
- Highly virulent avian influenza (H5N1) – birds’ own version of a bad hat trick.
- Norovirus – the stomach roller‑coaster that spreads faster than gossip.
- Tuberculosis bacteria – the slow‑crawling beast that gets wiped out in a flash.
Allergens That Get a Clean Sweep
- Fungal allergens – mold’s behind‑the‑scenes drama.
- Pollens from flowers – start of the allergic season’s slapstick act.
- Cockroach, mite, flea etc. allergens – the tiny villains we’d rather not see.
- Wheat flour – the bake‑off that can still cause a sneeze.
Important Note
While most models adopt the streamer magic, the MC30VVM-H model is the lone ranger without it.

HEPA filter
The electrostatic HEPA filter found in Daikin’s air purifiers can remove 99.97 per cent of fine particles that are 0.3 micrometres and larger, allowing for more powerful fine dust collection.
Beyond your simple net, the multitude of tiny fibres that make up the filter carries an electrostatic charge, which attracts and traps passing particles. Begone, pesky pollutants!
Theses devices are also less likely to get clogged up as compared to other unelectrified HEPA filters that collect particles only by the fineness of the mesh, therefore purifying a larger amount of air.

MCK55TVM6
On top of the aforementioned functions, the MCK55TVM6 comes with a humidifying feature that can protect you against viruses by maintaining an appropriate level of humidity in the room.
It can also minimise skin, throat and nostril irritation caused by dryness.
There’s no need to worry about dirty water vapour too! The streamer unit reduces bacteria in the humidifying water, keeping it clean, and you can easily remove and replace the water tank.
Did we mention that it’s remote controlled too?
While air purifiers do not provide full protection against the coronavirus, Daikin’s have been proven to eliminate certain viruses and allergens, which undoubtedly boosts your overall health and reduces your susceptibility to Covid-19.
As part of the Daikin For U initiative, Daikin has donated 100 air purifiers to local hospitals such as KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital to improve the working environment for frontline healthcare workers, as well as create a better resting environment for the patients.
“Daikin For U represents our commitment towards giving back to the society and environment we care for. Besides being a trusted air-conditioner brand in Singapore, we would like to be able to contribute to the progress of our community,” said Daikin.
