Tools and Hardware Reviews of Multitec Ion Air Purifier
Customer Review: OK for small spaces; will not last very long (few months)
Summary: 3 Stars
I could find one of the most important info about this product only on the side of its box. This device is rated at 71CFM at (probably) the max speed for the fan, which translates into about 20m complete air recycle for a room of just 15 by 10 by 9.
At max speed, the unit is too noisy to be left on in a small bedroom.
The ozone/filter does a good job with odors in relatively small kitchens, and the built-in timer is quite handy.
Update: After about 3 months of use, the fan control burned out, filling the room with an acrid smell.
Update: Received replacement unit. One of the clips holding the front panel is broken off, and unlike the previous unit, turning the ionizer on does not produce any "ozone smell" (meaning is probably broken). I wish I could change my rating to 2 stars.
Final Update: Speed button on replacement unit failed after a few months of use. Now it is stuck on low, which is quiet, but does not move much air. Ratings changed to 1 star. Not reccomended.
Customer Review: not bad but not good
Summary: 3 Stars
this product indeed circulates the air and makes the air seem less stuffy. it feels good but at the same time the awful smell it lets out can make you feel pretty bad. walking by this unit i feel very sick because of that weird smell it emits (i think its ozone, and yea, it even smells horrible when the ozone button is OFF). i liked the way it kept my room pretty cool and dust-free but the smell is just overwhelming so i had to return it. if it wasnt for that painful smell, which is ozone, this unit would be a good one, i want one like it, but without the damn smell.
Update: Just to let you all know, ozone is actually very harmful to your health. This product claims to have a button to turn off ozone (which you will notice increases the horrible smell it still emits while ozone sanitizer is off) but it can't ever be turned off.
Here is a link as proof that ozone emitting air purifiers are detrimental

Customer Review: Great value for its bucks
Summary: 5 Stars
This purifier combines several (i.e. 5) techonologies in one inexpensive unit. There are purifiers which employ only one technology and yet cost about twice as much, such as the Ionic Breeze Quandra. It does make a difference in the air, and the filter seems cheaper and needs replacement less often than with other purifiers.
It also has a "sanitizer" option, which is basically an ozone generator. Note: do not exagerate with ozone, it's not safe in high quantities - if you smell "funny", then ventilate the room, you have too much ozone.
You even have a timer to turn off the unit - I use it to have my room's clean when I get back from work, yet without having it run needlessly. What I wished is different is to have the option to turn off the sanitizer only with a timer, not necessarily the whole unit. It is safe to leave the unit running 24x7, but not true for ozone, so I see a value in having that feature.
Overall, worth every penny.
Customer Review: Very Loud + Little Purification = No Recommend
Summary: 2 Stars
The only reason I gave this product two stars is because it worked better than having nothing at all. I am very allergic to my wife's dog which brings about asthma attacks so I originaly bought the Biozone 3000w and it worked like a charm. Unfortunatly it was just to strong for the bedroom, but very quiet (it is rated for a minimum of 500 feet, so in the 200sqft bedroom it smells a little like bleech) so it now easily purifies the rest of the house all day long. I read some good things about this product from Surrond Air and thought I would give it a try. First of all it was very very loud, I was ok with that because I have slept through earthquakes, my wife also falls asleep easily. The problem is that it does not work. I put the biozone back in the room after trying this product for three weeks and I am sleeping well again!Customer Review: So Far, *Extremely* Good! :o)
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the Multitech for over two months now, having used only Bionaire products before, and I am very satisfied. The unit is clearly cleansing the air as advertised, and I get very satisfactory airflow (especially on Maximum setting). (I wonder if those users who complained about the Airflow had not read the instructions and removed the tear-off flap from the filter-cartridge before turning the unit on!?) Look people: it's NOT a Fan; it won't blast air out like a wind tunnel. What it does is a thorough job of cleaning and filtering, and unlike other ionizer/filters, it actually kills germs and mold with ultraviolet light as well. I strongly recommend this unit.
