Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier
Customer Review: Great air cleaner!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very nice cleaner, quiet and does the job. My home smells fresh. Can't even tell when I've cooked bacon or peppers. Quality item !Customer Review: Great for Allergies
Summary: 5 Stars
I have purchased 2 of these units, one for home and one for work. They do great cleaning and making the area smell great. If you have a room with oders this will make a big differce. As for my Allergies this has been a life saver and I would highly recomend it.Customer Review: Do NOT buy the Ionic Pro! It is UNHEALTHY & STINKY!
Summary: 1 Stars
Before I start, let me write a disclaimer that this might apply to ALL brands of this type, maybe not just the Ionic Pro. (I haven't tried the others.)
I was so excited about this item that I ordered two -- one for our bedroom and one for the room containing the cats' litter box. I only opened one, to try it out first before opening the other. The smell of the litter box was the reason for ordering.
I can tell you honestly that it DID get rid of the litter box smell, but it may only have been because it masks the litter box smell with the ozone smell! When you read the booklet that comes with it, it tells you that "you may notice a new clean scent...Ozone is the scent you are smelling", and goes on to warn people with asthma, heart disease, lung disease, breathing problems, etc. that they should talk to their doctor before using it. I do not have any of those problems, but the smell was overwhelming. It smells like a combination of bleach and sulfur. And your nasal passages feel very similar to how they feel after being exposed to bleach fumes -- kind of a raw, stinging feeling. The instructions tell you that if the smell is too strong, turn it down to Medium or Low. I was operating it on Low. Even after turning it off and opening all the doors and windows to air out the house, I could still smell it (presumably because it was still in my sinuses). I could even smell it on my skin (after washing).
I'm really disappointed to have to return my Ionic Pro, but there is no way that inhaling this ozone can be good for you. After using it, I did the research that I SHOULD have done prior to buying it. You can find many reports all over the internet about these devices, and the health risks involved. As much as I hate the litter box smell, I would rather smell that than burn away my sinuses.
Customer Review: Works well. Worth the money
Summary: 4 Stars
I was thinking about purchasing one of these ionic purifiers for a while, since I saw it in sharper image. But as I knew the technology behind it, I knew that sharper image was just gouging customers by charing $300 for a unit. Then finally at costco or frys (i don't remember), I picked up the ionic pro (about 2 years ago) and since then it worked well. I dind't deal with their support. So I coud not tell how good or bad they are. But the product is good for the price. It eliminates the musty smell in the room with ions, and gives the fresh feeling.
But if you're really looking for purifing the air , then you have to get a powerful regular air purifier (like honeywell). I have both. Ionic pro and a traditional large volume honeywell air purifier. Together it does the job well.
I would recommend the product. I usually leave it on in the day time with my bedroom aired.
