Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ionic Pro Therapure 100 Compact Germicidal Air Sanitizer
Customer Review: Don't Be Fooled! It is NOT an Ionizer, NO filters. Only UV.
Summary: 1 Stars
First and foremost, don't be deceived! The simple fact that this was listed in the ionizers category is just plain WRONG! Look carefully and the only place you'll notice the word "ION" is in the company name. What a scam!
Long story short: For ten bucks less, grab this even-smaller unit (about 1/3rd the size of this unit) which does the same UV-only purification: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000G2BESO?tag=a52-20&ie=UTF8
With that in mind, does this unit work? Yes and no.
We use it in the cat-duty room... you know, the room where cats do their duty! The room is very dusty and its smell tends to permeate into the surrounding rooms, one of which is the home office. Not good!
So we got this unit and set it up. It did indeed clear up the odor, for the most part, within 24 hours. Odors still lingered in the small room itself, but they no longer traveled into the other rooms nearby.
However, 3 days later, I started hearing a strange noise coming from the room where the purifier was installed. (I was on the other side of the house when I heard it, and the TV was on.) Upon investigating, I discovered that it was the purifier! The fan/motor (on the low speed, mind you) was vibrating so wildly you would have mistaken it for a Deisel Semi-Truck engine!!!
Figuring it just needed to be cleaned, I researched on how to do so. That's when I discovered that the thing wasn't even a real air purifier, moreso jist a glorified disinfectant! What an outrage!!
We decided to keep the unit anyway, since it does work, and have now had it a couple months. I constantly have to clean the fan with canned air, which re-disburses the dust all over the place. How annoying (and I'm a germaphobe...can't standing breathing when I do this, nor in the surrounding rooms afterwards, until the dust settles).
Despite constantly cleaning this thing, it still raves like a mad lunatic even right after being "cleaned". My wife even made a diaper for it: a home-made filter that she wrapped around the intake vents. We also put a custom-cut circular carbon+hepa filter on the inside to catch any more dust that might have escaped the "diaper" filter. Even so, it still gets dust in the fans and still sounds like a Mac Truck or like a noisy weedwacker on good days, and it goes in and out of its quiet mode. So it's noisy for a good 25-50% of the day, at least.
Lately we've been smacking the unit which seems to be a temporary fix, but the unit really does seem to be just junk. Hope you find one that works better!
