Ionic Pro Air Purifier
by Stefan
I purchased an Ionic Pro two years ago, and we've used it off and on. The quality of the product seems good to me, as the plastic used in its construction is durable, and does not crack or scratch easily.
The reason we have stopped using it is due to reports of the Ionic purifiers creating ozone, which is very harmful to people. It does seem to help keep the air clean, but in the interest of saving energy and thus money, we have been keeping our windows open in the summer, so running an air purifier becomes kind of an extra waste of energy.
I think it's a decent product that has good intentions, but the results you get for the cost of the product just don't add up, and they come with the risk of generating ozone in your house.
I think in time that a better version will be produced that is more helpful to people with allergies, or perhaps people living in cities with air quality problems. Where I live, we have plenty of pollen and such, but the air quality overall is decent.
I don't think I would recommend this product to friends and family, due to the perceived risk of ozone generation, however I still think that having good air quality is important, and someone with truly serious needs for better air should consider an alternative that's proven to work, such as an HVAC system for their house or building.
