Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier
Customer Review: Wonderful purchase!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading some of the previous reviews I was skeptical. I needed an air purifier in my bedroom because I have two cats, people smoke in the room, and it generally has a musty smell.
I bought an Ionic Pro a few weeks after reading these reviews. I'm impressed!
After the first night I had to clean the blades because there was so much junk in the air. The next cleaning was about a week later because the machine had already powered through most of the offenders before (the instructions even state that it cleaning periods will be farther apart after the first use due to the fact that the air is generally cleaner and many of the pollutants have already been disposed of).
Some of these reviews talk about taking it from room to room... it doesn't work that way. This item is designed for small, medium, or large rooms (rooms closed off by four walls and closed doors) and not huge open spaces or outside. It's worked perfectly in my large bedroom and I still haven't heard a sound from it after a month of constant use.
The best thing to do is to purchase it for use in one room (don't take it from the kitchen to the living room to the bathroom, etc.) because it still takes time to clean the air. It's not an air freshener and does not make the air smell like citrus pleasentness. It simply cleans the air making it smell cleaner, feel less thick, and reduces the ammount of dust in the room (this I can vouch for).
If you're looking for a quick air freshener buy a glade plug-in. If you're looking for a long term air purifier this is a very good buy.
Customer Review: Exellent
Summary: 5 Stars
bought mine in 2005 now its Jan 2008, it works great, you just have to clean it, the key is to use a wet paper towel to clean it then use a dry one to wipe dry. It takes me 5 minutes to clean 2 of them, thats clean and dry so no need to wait for the blades to dry ;) they are already.
When the blades and the 3 wires behind the blades get dirty it will make noises but that means its time to clean the blades and then the unit comes with a small handle on the top in the back to the right that you can pull to clean the wires inside of the unit and done, no more noise till its time to clean again. If your unit does not have this pull out thing then you got an old one and thats your fault, should have gotten the new one, I got mine at 2005 and they came with one so if you got one after that and your don't have it then you did not do your home work.
I have had mine for 2 years and they work perfect, given the 5 minutes of blade/wire cleaning every 4 days. I have a dog and cat, here is my advise to the others, brush your pet for god sakes, they are not suppose to do the cleaning of your pets for you, I have a big dog and a cat, seems they shed all year round but I brush them so no hair is really left to be in the air, if you expect your purifier to clean after your pets, then they don't make one for you, even the HEPA ones with that much hair will cost you an arm and a leg in filters since you will have to change them every day with that much hair. Its an air purifier not your solution to not brushing your pet ;)
Customer Review: Ionic dust fighter
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the big misconceptions about air Ionizers from reviews below is that people expect them to collect dust inside somewhere and get rid of it that way, where the biggest advantage of the technology is actually reducing dust, polen suspended in the air! The way it works, is that Ionizer releases negatively charged Ions into the air, they attach to dust particles that float around and force them to be "dropped down" onto the more positively charged surfaces such as your floor, shelves etc. Yes, part of them gets trapped inside the unit that you must clean. To evaluate the effectiveness of Ionic Pro performance, you should look on the sunny day in your room and see how much dust you actually have floating in the air and NOT how much dust your TV or book shelves have collected! Dust from the air will be attracted to the floor carpet/wood and still will need to be vacuumed or dusted. Only fan/filter-type air purifiers collect dust inside the filter so you have to replace it. Remember-this technology makes your air inside the room dust free, not claims to collect all the dust inside the unit!
I used the unit for days, and the amount of floating dust is minimal to non existent!
Customer Review: good product
Summary: 5 Stars
purchased this product and i am very pleased with it. The first couple of days, it collected a high amount of dust, and after cleaning, you only have to do it like once a week, and when you do, just move the bar up and down a few times afterwards and the buzzing noise will stop. But for smokers, it will collect tar and nicotine and it will stick to the blades, particularly to the tops and bottoms of them, to clean them use luke warm water mixed with a little bit of dishwashing detergent (i use dawn) and rub with a non abrasive sponge and it is amazing how easy the tar and nicotine comes off. Just make sure it is dry when you reactivate it. I got a set of extra blades so changing is fast and no air interruption. If you don't have an extra set, the cycle is interruped and will take about 2 to 3 hours to get the room back to par. However the blue light on it at night will light up your ceiling with a circle of blue light (sort of like a night light) which isn't bad cuz i live in the country (no street lights) and i can see to go to the bathroom! lol. It does work and emits a pleasant clean rain smell. To circulate the air, i use a small fan and it is wonderful. Great product!Customer Review: I smoke cigars, but you'd never know.
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I bought this my house smelled bad of cigars, I like to smoke them but I know they stink. When I would get home from work my house stunk. So I figured I would try one. Now when I get home my house smells good, like no one ever smoked here. Yes you do have to clean it about every 5 days but it is no big deal, I use windex and paper towel.
If you own one and have doubts about how it works, leave it off for a day, leave your house for a while and come back and notice the smells that you have not smelled in a while. I am thinking of buying another one, not cause I need it, but if one works so good, what can two do? I owned an air cleaner with the hepa filter and prefilter and that worked ok if you didn't mind the noise of the fan and about $90 every couple months for new filters, once they get dirty they stink up the place more than anything.
So I am very happy with this. The buzzing noise you hear happens when it gets dirty. Clean the blades and it is gone. My light went out too but somehow after a few days it came back on and it has worked ever since.
