Tools and Hardware Reviews of Multitec Ion Air Purifier
Customer Review: Good so far in a tough environment
Summary: 4 Stars
We live next to a rock quarry and this air filter has done a good job of keeping the air clean and relieving our sons allergy symptoms. The only drawback to it is the square footage that it covers. We have a very dirty air quality with the quarry near by, so the area coverage is probably only about 300 square feet. The quality of the filter is on par with others that I have seen available locally. All in all, a pretty good product.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: 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: Don't recommend, period!
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought three of these based on reviews from their own website. Should have known better. My air conditioner filters more particulate. The filter intake barely could hold a tissue in place, so you can tell there is really not much volume passing through. The fans are not strong enough to pull air through the filter. The filter medium is just too thick and air does not easily pass through. The ozone feature deoderizes, but I wanted air purification. We noticed no difference in air quality. Go with a better known brand like the Hamilton Beach. To the reviewer who suggested the filter cover may not have been removed - the perforated cover was removed.
