S-3000 Permanent Filter Ionic Air Purifier Pro Ionizer with UV-C Sanitizer, New (Silver)

I researched for about 2 months seriously, to find the best quality and price for an ionizer air purifier. Im a person willing to wait for the best deal. The actual mechanism that makes an ionizer is simple.....getting it at a non-ridiculous and moral price is not.The ion b 1000 is the best i could find! How it looks, how simple it is to clean and maintain, how very nearly silent it is and how it truely Works to give you clean fresh smelling air makes it a fantastic buy! It does the job in my large bedroom despit the moving central air and open door! I've absolutely slept through the night every night since day one of using it. I was waking every two to four hours every night before recieving it. My research also showed, even by places like the NIH the ionized air helps with winter depression and mood in general all year round. The ammout of ozone it produces isTruely insignifcant. Do your oun research. You can buy ozone detectors and air particle detectors to test it yourself.I'm purchasing at least one more for the down stairs and another large activity room.HEY, we consumers are catching on......the hype and the packaging can add hundreds of dollars to a comperable or even a less well made product......i hate waisting money!!!! I always do the research and can be very surprized at times with finding a well priced quality product like the ion b 1,000!

I bought this because we are in an area that experiences high levels of wildfire smoke.(Like Now). I am a smoker but have decided that I am going to smoke outside from now on since we just built a brand new cabin to live in, my little dog and I. Shakti has a lot of fur and dander, the fire smoke, and the pumice dust we get. So far it is working as advertised. I wrote the manufacturer and asked if it would be effective if you had your windows open and they said it was fine. They wrote me back in one day. So far I have kept it on low and I don't use the night light..it's really too bright for me, but would make an excellent night light for a larger home. I purchased an extra filter. I have used it now for a month and cleaned the rod and filter yesterday. My little cabin smells fresh and clean.For those of you that smoke, I would suggest biting the bullet and moving your smoking outside. I have ruined too many air conditioners, paintings, and furniture with nicotine residue, not to mention my dog and my lungs. I would imagine that this unit would have to be cleaned once a week for smokers, like your air conditioner filters.No judgment but a good life style change for me.Highly Recommended!!!!

So far, I am really enjoying this Oion purifier. It's quiet and unobtrusive. I ordered the black purifier and really enjoy the color. I decided to not turn on the night light/blue light on the front as it is rather bright and eye catching. I placed this in my open dining room/kitchen, which already has a night light, and so found it unnecessary to use this feature. I thought the filter was working great, as the air quality has felt a lot better, but I was surprised when I took out the dust collector rod and found very little debris had collected on the rod. We have a litter box, that gives off quite a lot of dust, located within 4 feet of the purifier, so that did surprise me. However, given the open floorplan of our house (the kitchen, dining room, living room and entry hall are all part of one space) I wouldn't be surprised if the extra space has an impact on the effectiveness of the purifier.Like I said initially, I have been very satisfied and feel like the air has been cleaner... but I'm not sure if that's partially just a placebo effect. On the other hand, I ordered this purifier to replace the first one I bought for the area because I felt like that one was not effective at all. Thus, by default, this purifier is certainly doing some work.

The design of this is so smart compared to other ion purifiers. I really really like it and have purchased 4 of them, 2 for me 2 as gifts.Let me start by hitting on a few things I read in other reviews, The UV light and night light are two separate elements, the UV light is located in the top housing by the fan and is not visible when it is running. The night light has an on off switch but when it is off it is kind of still on, a very very very dim blue light emanates from it. I'm not sure if this is light from the UV bulb or if it is designed that way. The unit does sound like it has something loose in it when you move it. Like other ionic purifiers it has very fine wires that transfer the charge to the core. The build up dust and the noise you hear is actually cause by a cleaning mechanism. The wires have bearings on them instead of a manual slide, so when you tip the unit the spheres will slide up and down on the wires and clean them off. This does produce a minute amount of ozone according to the book it is 0.05 parts per million (PPM).. Also, yes this may cause dust to fall out of the air, the negative charge it produces causes molecules to stick together and the heavier dust may fall out and build out around it. Better for it to be on a surface where you can whipe it up instead of floating in the air you breath,right? Over time the dust will decrease as more and more is removed. This is not a HEPA filter, if you need every single piece of dust and pollen removed and don't mind buying expensive filters every few months then maybe this is not for you.Like I said the design is very smart, the air enters from the bottom, passes over a seamless core (which is extremely easy to clean then through a carbon filter and over the UV light. The fan is located at the top of the unit and unlike with other fan driven ionizers it is receiving cleaned air instead of dirty air which makes the fan far less likely to build up dust on it.The core is my favorite part. Unlike other ionizers that use fin or plate like anodes that are tightly spaced and hard to clean in-between the core of this is a 4 sided seamless design that is super easy to wipe off. Plus these haven't yet made that annoying crackling noise that other ionizers make when they are dirty. It is fairly effective at removing odors, the cores have captured a lot of fine particulates from the air in my home. I was really shocked to see how much black particulate carbon / soot ended up on the cleaning rag which I assume is coming from the increasing traffic and the gas / oil boom around here. It was disturbing but I am glad it is out of tge air. The UV-C light helps a lot with bacterial odors from things like litter boxes, stinky shoes, dish sponges etc. Plus UV-c light can kill or disable viruses and bacteria leading to over all better health and air quality.I recently spent 35$ on a plug in UV-C purifier without the ionizer from my bathroom so for just a few buck more you can get a much better option for odor removal and air purification. I have used many ionizers and filters over the course of my life and I can so I do really like this. I can not speak to the longevity of the product as I have only been using them for about 3 weeks, time will tell.
