Ionic Pro Turbo Air Purifier Model #TA500
I live close to a cement factory, and my place was getting really dusty really fast. I could not imagine what my lungs looked like. So I decided to invest in an air purifier. I first bought one with a filter but it was too noise, and sucked a whole lot of power, so I decided to try the ionizer one.
It is not the best air cleaner, although it does clean the air, but not as well as the motor and filter one. I had to buy two just to get a clean living room. The rest of the apartment continued as dusty and dirty. This product is also extremely expensive. I paid One hundred and seventy dollars for each of the units, but I figured that my health was more important and if it worked well, it was well worth fit. It works, but not well enough.
Also the H3 smell that it emanates is very very strong. After I bought it, I actually read review that the amount of H3 that units like this emanate are harmful to your health. Now I am scared to turn them on, But if I leave the off, I get the cement dust. I guess I could go back to the old energy inefficient and noisy one, at least it did not cause cancer. I am not sure what to do at this point, as all air purifiers have major drawbacks.
The positive thing about this unit is that it is very aesthetically pleasing. it will look good next to your entertainment center, and flat screen tv. It is very slick. It is also very light and easy to transport. Not bulky at all, and will fit good in any corner of a room. The color always matches good with the rest of the furniture. It has no noise at all, and the power consumption is very low. It will not hurt your power bill at all.
Other than that it is a big disappointment. Stay away from it. And do some research before buying yourself a air purifier. It is one of the hardest buys ever. Specially because they are so expensive. I thought about returning the ones I bought, but I really need a good air purifier, and I am afraid they are all going to have the same problems, so I might as well stick with the ones I have.
On a scale of 0-5 with 0 bring the worse, this product would rate a 2.
Pros: - Silent - Light on power consumption
Cons - Very strong smell of H3 - Might be harmful to health
