Pros It does make your house smell fresh. Can really tell the different
Cons It's not worth taking a chance of you house catching fire.
Recommended it? No

If you bought this item please check the plugs often. I bought 6 of them 5 months ago and all the plugs are cracked. I had to move the one in my daughters bedroom and was horrified to see the plug part was damaged so I checked the others and they were all cracked. The one in the basement feel apart...

How can you tell?

Pros It's cheap. It will make you think you are using a real filtration device.
Cons Will not do any real filtration. Moves very little air. No fan
Recommended it? No

How can you tell this works? It is obvious this machine increases Ozone in the vicinity. However, if you read ConsumerReports:

They DO NOT RECOMMEND purchasing it as OZONE can be harmful... Read full review »

I Have One and Like it

Pros Easy to clean, puts out a good amount of ozone and is affordable.
Cons No fan to blow the air through.
Recommended it? Yes

The goof offs who complain about too much ozone are just wimps. I bought mine over 2 years ago and like it. I have used it in a 15 x 15 office. It's an older place and has always given off a moldy smell. This unit has been kept on 24 hours a day for 2 years and the mold smell is gone. My brother... Read full review »

I love that fresh-after-rain-storm smell ...

Pros Inexpensive, quiet, easy to clean the filter plates, work great for odors.
Cons None that I can think of. 
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased two of these units in 2003, when they were branded Neo-Tec, hoping to resolve an issue I had with pet dander (more specifically, fine, cockatoo feather dust.)  It did not work and I would say it failed on that front.  It did nothing for the dust except make it (the dust) stick to...

Poorly made, no negative ions, can burn your house down.

Pros XJ-2000 puts out ozone which is good for liter box areas.
Cons No fan so no negative ion production at 5 feet
Recommended it? No

I'm a member of an allergy club in California. I recently tested the XJ-2000 and "Multi-Tech" vs a competitive product with an ion meter and was shocked to find out the XJ-2000 didn't produce any negative ions at 5 feet and the "Multi-Tech" didn't produce any negative ions at all! The XJ-2000 also... Read full review »

Adapter problem

bystroop Nov 8, 2004
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Low cost
Cons warped, overheated adapter
Recommended it? No

Just a warning about the adapter for the Surround Air XJ-2000. I'd had my air purifier for some months (not quite sure how long). Last week I unplugged it and found the adapter almost too hot to handle and it was warped! I notified Surround Air and they were willing to send me a new adapter, but I... Read full review »

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Small, compact & attractive. Good Price. No filters.
Cons Emits strong ion smell.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this ionizer just under 30 days ago and will be sending it back!
The strong ion emission smell gives me a headache. Stinks up my whole apartment! I have since researched ion emission and have found that if can actually cause asthma. No wonder I was coughing & sneezing right after I... Read full review »

Design Change!!

Pros Added circulation fans
Cons Greatly minimised cleaning power
Recommended it? No

Beware. They use the same exact same model #.
I was impressed with the 1st one and later decided to get 3 additional units.
The model # is still XJ-2000 BUT they have added 2 small fans and GREATLY reduced the power to just a trickle.

There is no noticiceable ozone smell and the... Read full review »

Good deal for the Price!

bycelticpagan Oct 17, 2004
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good price, cheap operation, abundant negative ions!
Cons The pins may wear out over time, they cost alot to replace!
Recommended it? Yes

One aspect that may confuse people, is that these units aren't so much "air filters" as they are negative ion generators.

Negative Ions have a very positive effect on people's moods and brain chemistry. Creating a sense of well-being. They are part of the reason people feel so good at... Read full review »

This is on Consumer Reports' NOT RECOMMENDED list!

bytony47 Dec 15, 2005

Pros None whatsoever in my book
Cons Not recommended by Consumer Reports, strong ozone, no fan, cheap
Recommended it? No

Who's writing these 5 star reviews? Consumer Reports TESTED this product and says it is not only INEFFECTIVE, but it produces TOO MUCH OZONE! I first read about this in USA today but here are some links that give the real story:
