Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ionic Pro CABR1 Mini Ionic Air Purifier
Customer Review: Product changed - doesn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
I've owned 3 of these in past years, purchased at Home Depot and Walmart. Until this recent purchase (May 2010), I hadn't bought one since 2007. They are no longer available in retail stores, probably because a couple years ago the EPA asked retailers to curtail the sale of ozone-emitting devices. They didn't ban them outright, they just said that too much ozone is unhealthy and could you please make it harder to buy ozone generating gadgets, pretty please?
Enter the new, dis-improved Ionic Pro. The reason I used to like this little device is because it used to make a lot of ozone. Plug it in for a day, and there was plenty of ozone to deodorize a cat box contaminated room, or a smelly closet, or a living room after a party. Now it takes 3 days to get enough ozone generated to smell it in a closed closet. The device appears to have been neutered in order to generate a minimum of ozone.
This reviewed product is small (about 10" x 4" x 3"), plugs into a standard U.S. 120V outlet, and includes a night light that cannot be switched off when the device is in use. It has somewhat complicated maintenance instructions for cleaning, because the tiny wires used for ozone generation must be kept clean, pretty much on a weekly basis, in order to work at all.
For those of us who want to use ozone for its deodorizing and disinfecting properties, these products should not be difficult to obtain, since they are legal and effective. Unfortunately, the EPA polite semi-ban means that you are now forced to buy such things from scammy, overpriced multi-level companies and individuals, rather than from retailers. I am unable to find this device or similar ones from any other online retailer than Amazon.com. I will be returning mine, because it doesn't work as advertised.
As a point of education, the technology used in ozone production is very simple and cheap and has been around a long time. There is no reason why you should pay hundreds of dollars for an effective device. Another point is that ozone is a respiratory irritant in sufficient quantities. So if you use an ozone generator, you should only use it as needed, and you should air the room out with fresh air between uses.
