Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier
Customer Review: good product
Summary: 5 Stars
purchased this product and i am very pleased with it. The first couple of days, it collected a high amount of dust, and after cleaning, you only have to do it like once a week, and when you do, just move the bar up and down a few times afterwards and the buzzing noise will stop. But for smokers, it will collect tar and nicotine and it will stick to the blades, particularly to the tops and bottoms of them, to clean them use luke warm water mixed with a little bit of dishwashing detergent (i use dawn) and rub with a non abrasive sponge and it is amazing how easy the tar and nicotine comes off. Just make sure it is dry when you reactivate it. I got a set of extra blades so changing is fast and no air interruption. If you don't have an extra set, the cycle is interruped and will take about 2 to 3 hours to get the room back to par. However the blue light on it at night will light up your ceiling with a circle of blue light (sort of like a night light) which isn't bad cuz i live in the country (no street lights) and i can see to go to the bathroom! lol. It does work and emits a pleasant clean rain smell. To circulate the air, i use a small fan and it is wonderful. Great product!Customer Review: I smoke cigars, but you'd never know.
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I bought this my house smelled bad of cigars, I like to smoke them but I know they stink. When I would get home from work my house stunk. So I figured I would try one. Now when I get home my house smells good, like no one ever smoked here. Yes you do have to clean it about every 5 days but it is no big deal, I use windex and paper towel.
If you own one and have doubts about how it works, leave it off for a day, leave your house for a while and come back and notice the smells that you have not smelled in a while. I am thinking of buying another one, not cause I need it, but if one works so good, what can two do? I owned an air cleaner with the hepa filter and prefilter and that worked ok if you didn't mind the noise of the fan and about $90 every couple months for new filters, once they get dirty they stink up the place more than anything.
So I am very happy with this. The buzzing noise you hear happens when it gets dirty. Clean the blades and it is gone. My light went out too but somehow after a few days it came back on and it has worked ever since.
Customer Review: pleasant surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this unit because of it's high area coverage and convenience. After a short period of usage it has reduced some of the oppressive feel of the air. Looking at the area in front of a window during afternoon sunlight I do not see noticeable dust highlighted in the sunbeams. The classic light shaft/ swirly dust effect is not visible. It is my impression that the amount of dust in the air is reduced, and the air has a noticeably lighter feel. This is from a single unit in the living room of a 1br apt. Note: according to the way ionizers work the unit does not purposefully collect dust it only causes dust to drop out of the atmosphere faster. Dust collects on the blades because they are generating ions, but the ions that are dispersed by the unit do the actual work. This probably explains why it may help some with allergy problems but not others: some allergy inducing dusts may be more or less reactive with the ions generated by these units than others, and the dust that is removed from the air may still be stirred up again if the surfaces of the room aren't maintained sufficiently.Customer Review: Cleans, but noise became a problem
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this unit for two months now, and as an allergy sufferer and Los Angelino, it seemed like the perfect solution for my problems. (Although I was a little wary at its lack of a fan--how can it clean air from the other side of even my tiny dorm room without some way to cycle the air around?) At first, however, it did the trick: lots of thick black gunk got caught on the blades and my symptoms became a bit less severe. However, about two weeks ago, I started hearing an intermittent buzzing noise from the machine. I cleaned it, hoping that would help, but it didn't. Then I started keeping the setting on medium instead of high, which did ease the buzzing. Then, I started hearing the buzzing more often...and it got louder. Much louder, to the point where it distracted my studying. Furthermore, I walked into my room this afternoon to find an overwhelming and pretty unpleasant "electric" smell, if you know what I'm referring to. I finally just had to turn the machine off altogether.
I can't recommend this product--I'll be returning it to the store myself soon, in fact.
Customer Review: Excellent Product For Allergy Sufferers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very skeptical about an air purifier being silent, so I was very suprised when I saw this model in the store and turned it on. I put my ear directly to the unit, and there was no sound at all. I was also very suprised when I smelled the air it was putting out, which definately had a fresh smell to it. Since it was such a good sale at BB, I decided I had to have one to try in our house. Imagine my suprise when my husband brought this home! I turned it on immediately, and within a half an hour my head started to clear up. I have had pressure in my sinuses for months now, and all of a sudden my nose started to run and I could breathe more clearly. I continued to run it off and on for a week, and I could tell that the air quality was getting much better. I actually started to wake up being able to breathe, not being all stuffed up and coughing. I noticed that my children's eyes were a little less red, too. I am very suprised at how well this unit works. I am very glad that I bought this product, and I would definately recommend it to anyone considering an air purifier.
