Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ionic Pro Therapure 100 Compact Germicidal Air Sanitizer
Customer Review: Fresh Air At Last!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great air purifier! The uvc light bulb is huge compared to the one in the Germ Guardian GG1000 I have in my bedroom. Both work well. I got the Ionic Pro Therapure 100 because I wanted a cheap uvc air purifier for the dining room and had no wall space for another GG1000. This is a student house and we have our windows closed and sealed for the winter meaning cooking and other smells linger and the air tends to get fusty. Not anymore! I have the fan set on medium with the unit on 24/7 and that is enough to keep the air clean and fresh. Another plus is that the light bulb is replaceable.
Update: I have had this unit now for about a year. It is still going strong. Another benefit is that nobody has gotten sick all year. I like it enough that I think I will buy another one. Some people have complained about fan noise but I found if you take a vacuum cleaner hose and go over the outside vents with it and stick the hose inside where the light bulb goes (the light bulb module lifts out), you will suck out all the dust and the fan will get quiet again.
Also, for a while I was worried about finding a replacement bulb, because it looks like Therapure no longer makes this model of uvc air purifier and I could not find a replacement bulb for it on their website. However, the uvc light comes out of the module. It has two prongs on either end and unhooks from the module just like those fluorescent lights people use in their basements unhook. You can buy a replacement light bulb for about $15 in a pet supply store or online. You need to match the bulb in watts, prongs, and length, and make sure it is uvc. I would myself just put it in a little box and carry it with me to be sure I got the correct size.
Customer Review: Broke in 2 mos, Terrible Customer Service, Big Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars
I read a lot of the reviews before I bought this and another Therapure ionizer as a package deal. Let me begin by saying that it was useless so far as I can tell. I had it in my office, which at the time was no more than 50sqft and frankly couldn't tell the difference when it was on or off, no matter how long it ran. The one benefit it had was that it blew air like a quiet fan, which was enough to keep it around. That and the hope that maybe it was doing something good that I just could not perceive.
Then about two months after I bought it, it began to buzz... loudly, and the airflow seemed to stop altogether. I contacted customer service and was connected with a call center. I was disconnected twice, was once told the computers were down and each person I talked to was more useless than the next. Finally, I was told that I had to return the filter to the company and pay a $30 processing fee, so that the unit could be fixed and returned to me. When I asked what the fee was for, they said it was to pay for the call center and the warehouse.
Don't waste your money. If you need an air filter, spend a little bit more for one from a reputable company. Otherwise it is good money after bad and you don't even have an air filter to show for it.
Customer Review: Super Sanitizer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical about purchasing this product, but now I am so happy that I did! I have pets and there is a smoker in the household and I must tell you for the size of this thing it is fantastic at eliminating orders. It works perfectly on a room 24X16 and smaller. I can place this product in a room and within in an hour or less the smell of smoke or any other bad order is completely GONE!! I recommend this product to anyone who has pets, allergies, or has a smoker in the house. This product eliminates the smell of pets, smoke and just about anything else. I will be purchasing another one, but this one has been working so well that I haven't been in a rush to buy another one just yet. It is worth every penny! Plus, the maintenance is a breeze..there are no disgusting filters to change or clean. You just pop out the Ionic lamp, wipe down with a clean, dry cloth and place it back in the machine. That's it!!Customer Review: Keeps me healthy
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had mine for about 8 months or so, and I believe this little machine is the main reason I have been healthier than I've been in years. So incredibly easy to clean too... just a wipe-down on the lamp every once in a while. No filters to mess with or spend extra money on. And easy to get used to sleeping with, which is great for a light sleeper like me. I keep it in my bedroom, and mostly use it at night. The fan is not loud, just a little white noise. The only slight issue I have with it is the on/off switch (on the top) lights up with a blue light when it is on, and it is a little more light than I like to have while I'm sleeping (I like it pitch black). But I have gotten used to it, and it doesn't usually bother me. It's not even as bright as a nightlight. If I were to buy another air purifier for another room, I would definitely get this exact one again.Customer Review: Glad I bought 3, might have to get 1 or 2 more!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these three for my little boys' room, our master and one as a floater-more specifically to clear out the musty oder in our new house's bathroom. You are NOT supposed to use it in a high humidity area so I would remove it every time we would shower. It cleared out that perma mustiness in 24 hours. My two boys no longer wake up with snotty noses and the allergies my husband and I suffer are almost gone. The light is pretty bright which for us is a plus. The boys use it as a night light. The one in the master did seem too bright to begin with but the fresh clean, just after the rain smell makes it all worthwhile. As for my floater, I move it to whatever room I am working in at that time. The smell is so addictive. I love it and am thinking of buying a couple more, one for every room would be my dream come true!
