Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier
Customer Review: Buy an Ionic Breeze Instead
Summary: 2 Stars
I have an ionic breeze and an ionic pro, i wish i hadnt wasted my money on an ionic pro and got 2 ionic breezes. The Pro needs to be cleaned twice as frequently as the breeze, not becasue it collects more (actually it collects much less) but because it starts sparking in its chamber if theres a little dust on the collection grid. My breeze collects more, never sparks and works totally silently. Save yourself aggrevation go with the Ionic Breeze.Customer Review: Can't tell if it's work
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been using this for half year...can't really tell the different after using it. I have a cat at home, but the filter only trap a very thin layer of dust, not even one hair of my cat. ( My cat loose a LOT of hair).Customer Review: Cleans good
Summary: 4 Stars
I know this thing cleans the air. It only took me 5 hours to figure that out. I bought the thing, hooked it up, and a little later I pulled up the rods and they were dusty. Maybe some people have clean houses without dust but not here. The funny thing is, is that my buddy bought one the same day same time and his collection on dust was nothing. I think it has something to do with our different A/C systems. I have centeral and he has individual. I wonder if Consumer Reports was using centeral A/C in there tests. Who knows. As for 50 parts per billion ozone...I think a fart is more that that. If you smoke, buy it. If your house is dusty, buy it. If you beleive ther is a hole in the ozone and want to do something about it, buy it. If you are a memeber if PETA, don't buy it cause you are crazy.Customer Review: Cleans, but noise became a problem
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this unit for two months now, and as an allergy sufferer and Los Angelino, it seemed like the perfect solution for my problems. (Although I was a little wary at its lack of a fan--how can it clean air from the other side of even my tiny dorm room without some way to cycle the air around?) At first, however, it did the trick: lots of thick black gunk got caught on the blades and my symptoms became a bit less severe. However, about two weeks ago, I started hearing an intermittent buzzing noise from the machine. I cleaned it, hoping that would help, but it didn't. Then I started keeping the setting on medium instead of high, which did ease the buzzing. Then, I started hearing the buzzing more often...and it got louder. Much louder, to the point where it distracted my studying. Furthermore, I walked into my room this afternoon to find an overwhelming and pretty unpleasant "electric" smell, if you know what I'm referring to. I finally just had to turn the machine off altogether.
I can't recommend this product--I'll be returning it to the store myself soon, in fact.
Customer Review: Consumer Reports finds air purifiers churning out ozone
Summary: 1 Stars
When I first purchased the ionic pro I thought I was buying a great product, but after waking up in the middle of the night with the inability to breath, I wanted to do some research, and see if the sleek and smart ionic pro was a good buy compared to other products. Apparently, not, after reviewing consumer reports for air purifiers. Fortunately, there are some low and no cost methods to purify and better the air in my room.
Here is a piece of the article.
Experts agree that an ozone concentration of more than 80 ppb for eight hours or longer can cause coughing, wheezing, and chest pain while worsening asthma and deadening sense of smell. A 14-year study of 95 urban areas in the U.S. found a clear link between small increases in ozone and higher death rates. The study, which appeared in the November 2004 Journal of the American Medical Association, predicts that a 10-ppb increase in ozone over eight hours could lead to roughly 3,700 premature deaths per year in some cities.
While ozone dissipates indoors, it can create other pollutants in the process.
Air cleaners need not meet ozone limits-not for the Environmental Protection Agency, which regulates only outdoor air, nor for the Food and Drug Administration, since it does not consider them medical devices. No federal agency sets indoor ozone limits for homes. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is reviewing data on all air cleaners that create ozone and is evaluating whether the 50-ppb industry standard is adequate protection for consumers.
