How effective are the Ionic Pro air purifiers? And are they effective at removing cooking odors?

I have an ionic breeze, it awsome. When its a good one and its kept clean it'll get rid of ANY orders.cooking or smoking. they do work and work great,it your wiling to spend the money for a good one.

Does the ionic pro air purifier really work as well as advertised? I need some feedback b-4 i drop $100 4 it

I hate dust in my room and even though i vacuum and dust off everything in my room i want to be sure that the air is clean. Anyways i need help picking the right air purifier for the right price.

What you really want is a HEPA filter. HEPA filters remove dust particles that are a fraction of a micron in diameter. You will have very clean air in your room with one, and you have to dust much less often.

The best part is that you can get one for less than $100. IMO, Honeywell makes some of the best ones that are widely available. Go to a home center and a mass retailer (e.g., Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart), and see what they have available. If your room is small, you can get a smaller unit for even less money.

Finally, if you want an ionizer, you can get a small one at Wal-Mart for about $15. I used to use a small one in my 2000 sq ft home, and it would fill the house with ozone within a couple days. Some comments about ionizers: They do 2 main things: They create ozone, which freshens the air and has mild antibacterial qualities; and they put an electical charge on dust particles that makes the dust stick to surfaces (so it's not floating in the air). The drawbacks regarding ionizers are that you need to air your room out frequently when using one, because too much ozone is bad for your lungs; and, the electrical charge causes dust to stick to your walls and baseboards, making them get dirty quicker.

My personal favorite combo is the HEPA filter and a separate small ionizer. Relatively inexpensive and effective. If you have a room less than 150 ft sq, you can use a small HEPA filter, costing as little as $40. Look on Amazon.com for user ratings and reviews to find the highest-rated ones.

P.S. To answer the other part of your question, no, the Ionic Pro doesn't work well at all. Consumer Reports said they sucked and were a fraud, and the Sharper Image sued C.R. over the article, and lost in court, and now Sharper Image is going out of business. The reason the ionic pro doesn't work well is because it doesn't really circulate the air (no fan), and there's no filter, so there's nothing to catch the dust. This means you have no real filtration, and the dust sticks to your walls and floors. Ionic Pros are really nothing but big ionizers. A small one is more than enough for a bedroom (be sure to air the room out a few times a week if you use one). You can get a small ionizer at W-M or Home Depot.

From their website it says nothing?

I am getting the Mini

Also is it just as the same as HOLMES HEPA AIR PURIFIER?

Like will it remove dust and so on?

I am sure it does they all need one mine does and they cost a pretty penny your getting a mini so you should be around 20dollars every 6 months thats not bad.

Does anyone use a Ionic pro air purifier,if so do they work?

This is a POLL

If you buy one make sure it has the gizmo that converts ozone to oxygen. Mine is the old type that makes the house smell good but puts out ozone and Dr. said it was damaging my lungs further.
Most newer ones have that feature and they are nice. They cover a caertain number of cubic feet. You may need more than one.

I live in an older house (about 1100 sq. ft.). We have a terrible mold problem. I've been using a HEPA system, but the filters are $25.00 each, and it takes three of them. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with the Ionic Pro Turbo air purifier, as to how well it performs, or what is the best, affordable, air purification system.
In the meanwhile, I think I found a better solution. I bought two 20 inch, square, window fans ($15.85 each). Then, I bought two 20X20 3M Ultra Allergen Filterete furnace filters ($15.75 each), and simply put them on the back side of the fan.

Man, does it ever filter. It puts out a lot of air, and the filters catch allergenic particles such as mold, and even smoke. So far, it works great. And it sure beats paying $130, for an air purifier, (which is basically just a fan with an allergenic furnace type filter on it anyway), and $30.00 for replacement filters!

I just recently bought the ionic pro turbo. It was about 200 bucks but it works really well. My allergies have gotten a lot better. I mainly got it for my newborn daughter. She was born with a nose problem and it helps her a lot as well. Good luck!
