Tools and Hardware Reviews of Air Supply Mini-Mate Personal Ionic Air Purifier--Clear
Customer Review: Good and not good
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought one to fight against my mold allergies anywhere anytime. It really does work, but the instructions indicate that it should be worn right under your chin with the provide lanyard. I have found the amount ozone production to be high and uncomfortable. If worn under my chin, my eyes would start watering and itching because of the highly oxidizing ozone gas. Nowadays, I wear it with a cellphone hoister. It works great that way. I can still smell some ozone, but it is not as bad as having it blow in your face. The AS150MM adds 48 ppb of ozone to ambient ozone. The maximum safe level (continuous) exposure for humans is 50 ppb. AS150MM only gives 2 ppb of margin to work with. Creating distance between the unit and my nose increases that margin. I mostly use my unit indoors because ozone levels are lower indoors than outdoors. During high ozone days, I neglect using it. Chronic asthma patients should probably stay away from getting this. It may trigger a bad asthma attack.Customer Review: Question

I don't own this item, but I do know that they are NOT allowed on airplanes. How are people getting away with this?Customer Review: Prefer Filter Stream

I had a tough time deciding between the Wein Mini-Mate and the Filter Stream from Advanced Cleaning Appliances, so I bought both. Between the two, I'd definitely recommend the Filter Stream. The Wein Web site refers to University testing and that it performed better than competitive units, but does not link to the actual studies or name the competitors involved in such research. If, in fact, the Wein Mini-Mate was actually tested against the Filter Stream I might change my mind - otherwise go with the Filter Stream. Please note, too, the cost of replacement batteries for the Wien device and the battery lifespan vs. thjose for the Filter Stream.Customer Review: Not sure it did much

I bought this to wear on international flights in the height of the swine flu scare. I wore it on a non stop flight from California to New York. It was easy enough, inconspicuous and the air had a not unpleasant scent. I did not get sick though there were many coughing and sneezing people on the plane. I did not wear it from New York to London nor did I wear it from London to San Francisco. There were still coughing and sneezing people on the flights but. . . I did not get sick. So all of this to say, I don't know if this gadget was worth the expense.Customer Review: no air

I have used other Wein air products and have loved them. This one did not hold up to the test of being used everyday while travelling in India where the air is dirty. I have asthma. It let me down. I don't believe it has the same quality as other Wein products.
