Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier
Customer Review: It's all true! This is nothing but a death trap.
Summary: 1 Stars
What you've read and heard is all true. This product does nothing for you except offer discomfot, light-headedness, nauseousness, and utter disappointment. I bought mine a year ago in Lubbock, Texas; and all I can tell you is that I have not experienced any beneficial side effects from using this particular unit.
Ever since I bought that thing and used it in my dorm and apartment each day, I've had nothing but problems with my heart (which I think is due primarily to use of the Ionic Pro). My doctor advised me to stop using it immediately, and guess what, after a few months the pain in my heart stopped. This thing worries me so much that I will never buy anything "ionized" or releases "ozone" particles into the air ever again - period. Please, everyone, don't even consider purchasing this.
You will only be asking for severe health problems. An absolute waste of money!
Customer Review: Works well. Worth the money
Summary: 4 Stars
I was thinking about purchasing one of these ionic purifiers for a while, since I saw it in sharper image. But as I knew the technology behind it, I knew that sharper image was just gouging customers by charing $300 for a unit. Then finally at costco or frys (i don't remember), I picked up the ionic pro (about 2 years ago) and since then it worked well. I dind't deal with their support. So I coud not tell how good or bad they are. But the product is good for the price. It eliminates the musty smell in the room with ions, and gives the fresh feeling.
But if you're really looking for purifing the air , then you have to get a powerful regular air purifier (like honeywell). I have both. Ionic pro and a traditional large volume honeywell air purifier. Together it does the job well.
I would recommend the product. I usually leave it on in the day time with my bedroom aired.
Customer Review: Picks up a lot of dust
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this unit about 2 months ago. It is used in the master bedroom, which has a 16-foot high cathedral ceiling and forced air heating. That means a lot of dusty air to clean. I have found it to be quiet and very effective. It can collect quite a bit of dirt, so I can go 2-3 weeks between cleaning. The cleaning light has not gone on, so it can evidently hold even more.
It is very easy to clean. I put it under the shower and wipe it with a cloth. It is impressive to see how much dirt has been collected (and a relief to know I am not breathing it in.)
My one complaint is one that others have mentioned. The power light is overly bright for a bedroom. I took another reviewer's advice and covered it with black electrical tape.That solved the problem.
Finally, it is much less expensive than the ones advertised on TV and I am glad I bought it.
Customer Review: Dust in the wind
Summary: 2 Stars
This Ionic Pro air purifier was purchased along with two other large Kenmore units as a battery to mainly help reduce the dust in my home. With only about a month's duty, I can see a reduction of dust, but absolutely not near the 99.3% or so that this unit and the others advertised. Two nice features of this Ionic Pro are that it operates in total silence. The other feature is that there are no filters that need to be replaced, which should make this unit more cost efficient. Although I haven't had to do so yet, there is an inherent danger of residual electricity in the collection rods that must be discharged before touching them to clean them! I am not too keen on that idea!
One other small drawback is the ozone oder that this unit produces. For me it is negligible but some may object. Simply, it has not seen enough service for me to rate this unit any higher than 2 stars.
Customer Review: It does what it says it does, just not as well as it says it should
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought it because I saw someone else cleaning theirs.
After having it for a couple months, I've some to the conclusion that it does what its supposed to, but not as well as the advertisements say.
Plus: It does remove the odors, allergenes, and dust out of the air and it does work almost silently.
Easy to clean. Room smells better than it did. Cheaper than competition's similar products.
Minus: You almost have to have a fan blowing air into it to keep the air circulating, otherwise it'll barely move the air around.
Designed for smaller rooms. So I wouldn't plan on your entire house smelling better. Smaller HEPA air purifiers designed for 1 room are much cheaper and don't cost near as much as the advertisements make them out to.
In the end, it does clean the air, but it takes awhile to work without a fan.
