Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ionic Pro CAC1 Car IonizerCustomer Review: Actually BAD For You! Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this on sale thinking it would keep my truck smelling clean and dust free. It does nothing about dust as it does not move air. I discovered through a little GOOGLE research how ionizers work. As pollutants such as pollen, cigarette smoke and even vaporized substances like car fumes are attracted to the ions they cluster around them. This has the effect of making the ion grow in size. There comes a point where it is too heavy to be carried in the air, so it falls to the ground. However (talk to your doctor about this) a badly designed ionizer may produce ozone, and with it nitrous oxide. These are toxic substances and can cause respiratory difficulties and stinging eyes. So you are actually not doing anything better than making your car smell a little cleaner at the expense of your health.
Customer Review: Actually produces ions Summary: 3 Stars
This product actually produces negative ions. It is rated much lower than the RoadPro car ionizer, yet the RoadPro did not set my ion detector off even when it was almost touching it.
I think the difference is ozone output. Ozone is good for removing odors. It can be harmful if you get too much. The RoadPro seems to produce more ozone but no significant ions. At least the Ionic Pro actually produces ions. However, if you were considering the Ionic Pro for negative ion therapy, forget it. I would estimate the output of ions at 2 feet to be about 1,500 per cm3. For reference, standing near Niagra Falls is 100,000 per cm3. Most studies on negative ion therapy show it takes a lot of ions to have an effect.
Customer Review: Disapointint Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the large ionicpro for my room. I loved it. Thinking the car ionic pro would be great to, i purchased it. Turned out the car pro is terrible, does nothing, and it downright a waste of your money. I would ship it back but its not worth it. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!
Customer Review: Do not buy this product Summary: 1 Stars
This product is useless.
It is a box with a blue light that turns on and off. It does not produce that "ion" smell that all other ionizers produce, it did not make my car smell any different even after running it for a week (my car does not need to be turned on for 12v to work), and it makes no sound or any other indication that it is doing anything besides shinning a blue light.
I stuck two of these things into both 12v ports in my car, left it for a week and nothing. I stuck my nose to it while on and it smelled no different than when it was off.
Do not buy this product.
Customer Review: Does it work? Summary: 2 Stars
The ionizer is perfectly silent with just a blue light, the only problem I have is an inability to see if it works. It does not perform miracles, thats for sure. I have found that after people smoke cigarettes in my car, if I leave the device on when I leave my car it does not seem to smell as stale the next time I sit down. This may just be my own imagination hoping the purchase was worth it. The device needs an auto turn off since remembering to turn it off every time can be a hassle. Overall I am not sure how well it works and how it would manage to clean the air of my entire car since it does not blow the air to the back. I would pass on this purchase and just buy an air freshener for smell cover instead of hoping for smell elimination.
