Breathe Clean Air Again!
Date of Review: Mar 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: Great for people who have allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems. Nice and quiet. A bit of effort to clean outside shell properly, but overall definitely worth a try!
This compact Ionic Pro? ionic air purifier traps irritants and allergens on three collection blades and then releases purified air back into the room. It has 2 settings (I usually leave it on the "Hi(gh)" setting, due to the area we live in is quite dusty :-))
Features:
* It traps airborne allergens like pollen, smoke, dust, and pet dander
* It traps particles as small as 1 micron
* It is very energy efficient and inexpensive to operate
(One unit recommended for rooms up to 500 square feet)
I must say that this is one of the easiest to use air cleaners I've ever owned. Plug in, select your preferred setting and there it goes. It is also extremely quiet, compared to other air purifiers.
I have had this Ionic Pro Air purifier for about 4 years and I have had no problems with it. I might want to let you know that people bumped into it and it fell over quite a few times. I found that it seems to have a shut-off mechanism of sorts that turns off the air flow and the indicator light when the device is not upright(I regard this as a safety feature).
I then have to unplug it from the power to reset it or remove and replace the collection grids, and it usually works fine after I push the power button again.
When the collection blades become fully covered in dust etc. the product makes a gentle static noise that let's you know that it is time for a cleaning. The blades lift right out of the machine (make sure to touch them to the ground to release static electricity before cleaning them) and are freed of dust with a damp cloth and replaced within 2 minutes or less. Easy!
I can safely recommend this product, as it really seems to filter out a lot of dust and other particles! The blades are just covered in dirt after only a few days to a week. Imagine breathing all that stuff! I do believe that using this product may help people who have allergies as well as people with asthma and other respiratory problems. It's definitely worth a try!
