Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier
Customer Review: The concept works, but some science is lacking
Summary: 3 Stars
This review is after one month of ownership, and having read all of the reviews posted for the ionic air purifier.
Without trying to overwhelm the masses, this device works because of electrical forces that "grab" onto particulate matter, as well as other "elemental" atoms. These "electrical forces" also move the air. Consider it a different type of fan. It's not a fast fan, but it does in fact create enough pressure to move the air.
1- The air we breath is 21% oxygen- O2, and 79% nitrogen- N2.
2- Ozone is O3.
Our bodies were not designed to breath ozone. It causes all kinds of biological troubles. I've provided a "how stuff works" link near the end. READ IT!
What happens with this device is that it strips the N2 gas, leaving only the oxygen molecule, which in turn must restabilize to a neutral component, thus leaving ozone. I.e., without the 79% nitrogen, the "air molecule" we normally breath has been disrupted, and is "unstable (this is what is called ionization)." (It must be said that this ozone-zone is only within the distance the air is moved, and returns to 'normal' rather quickly. The normal o2/n2 mixture remains outside of that zone.) So, the oxygen that remains must go to a neutral state, which is ozone. To state it simply, these devices do exactly what lightning does, but on a much smaller scale, and in a very controlled realm. When lightning strikes, the air surrounding that strike becomes "ionized." One of the results is the smell we all seem to love.
I purchased one of the smaller models for my bathroom, and another my wife's car-- she's got allergies up the wazoo, so I thought it'd do the trick.
With the bathroom model, I get the distinct ozone smell-- what it smells like after a lightning strike. It has a tendency to heighten the frequency/intensity of my headaches. Which I know is due entirely to the ozone concentration.
The moisture that once left a ripe smell in my bathroom no longer exists, and the "bug zapper" sounds only occur once every few days. Cleaning is much easier, and takes only a few moments with the smaller model.
In general, the device works. It does not however put out "pure oxygen" as mentioned on the TV ads. It puts out ozone, which can be deadly to humans, and animals-- over the long haul. To give a more accurate perspective, please read the How Stuff Work's link:
[...]
If you're considering buying one of these devices, you should consider these things, as they will affect your overall health.
If they ever figure out how to make them work, without stripping the nitrogen, I'll be the first to buy one.
Description of Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier
The Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier delivers quality, state-of-the art, ionic air purification, at home or office, for less than half the retail cost of some similar ionic air purification units. Working almost silently, the Ionic Pro circulates air by first putting a positive charge into the air, then attracting the air with negatively charged collection plates These collection plates trap irritants and allergens, like pet dander, dust, pollen --- even particles as small as 1 micron, releasing purified air back into the room. Better yet, it costs only pennies a day to operate 24/7 and there are no replacement filters to buy --- to clean up, simply wipe the collection blades clean and re-install . Safe and "one touch" easy to use, Ionic Pro will give your family the clean air they need to stay healthy. The Ionic Pro is recommended for rooms up to 500 square feet. Comes with a 1 year limited warranty. Stylish, black unit is approximately 29" x 10.5" x 9",and 10 lbs, out of box.Rid a room of excessive dust, pet dander, and pollen for enhanced respiration without resorting to chemical cleaners with the innovative Ionic Pro ionic air purifier. The electrical air purifier operates at 120v AC and 60Hz to quietly circulate and clean indoor air. The purifier air filters air in to collect debris and allergens before releasing clean air back into the room.
The ionic air purifier works by emitting a positive charge into a room. Particles in the air likewise become positively charged. As air travels through the air purifier, allergens naturally gravitate and cling to the negatively-charged metal collection plates in the appliance. The air purifier features a grounded plug for use in grounded-style outlets. Energy efficient, the purifier allows users to choose between low, medium, and high power levels to best address a room?s size and allergen content without wasting energy. The air purifier works best in rooms up to 500 square feet in size. The purifier uses a LED display to indicate the selected power level. Another light indicates when the purifier requires cleaning. While many other air purifiers require the purchase of replacement filters, this model does not use filters. Users clean the purifier by wiping its collection plates clean with a rag according the cleaning directions outlined in the product manual. The purifier should be cleaned every four to five days. For user safety, the purifier should be turned off and then unplugged prior to cleaning. This item is intended for indoor use only and should be situated approximately 12 inches from the outlet. Do not use the purifier in bathrooms, near fireplaces, or in spaces with frequent exposure to flammable vapors. Ionic Pro offers a one-year warranty for this item. The air purifier measures 29 by 10-1/2 by 9 inches and weighs 10 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling
