Premier Brand

One of the best known and best looking brands in the air purifier business is the line up of Ionic Pro air purifiers. These are sleek and rather portable devices that can fit in with almost any interior design scheme. They don’t look scary or have a lot of ugly wiring. Ionic Pro compact air purifiers look like many other top of the line devices like Bose radios. You might recognize Ionic Pro air purifiers from their successful television advertising campaign.

What’s The Difference?

Besides great looks, what else do Ionic Pro air purifiers have that sets them apart from many other brands of air purifier machines? They are the only air purifiers that can filter out particles as small as germs as well as odor causing particles like tobacco smoke. They also come with a limited time trial (usually about a month long). If you try it and don’t like it, you get your money back.

However, it is very doubtful that any mechanical air purifier can consistently filter out germs. Beside, you do need some exposure to germs in order to be immune to them later on in life. Don’t get an air purifier for that reason alone. Those claims are dubious at best and have been slammed as nothing but sales hype from critics as prestigious as “Consumer Reports” magazine.

Ionic Pro air purifiers also are quieter than most other brands, which is nice if you don’t want to be driven insane by their noise. Since it’s an ionic air purifier, it doesn’t need filters like HEPA air purifiers. They are also designed to be energy efficient and strive not to use up any more electricity than a night light. And, on top of all of this, there’s a one year warranty.

And, finally, the Ionic Pros are different than other brands of ionic air purifier because of their price. They are in the four figures.

Be sure your heater has had a check up, vacuum regularly and see if there’s any difference that way. Otherwise, you could be paying a lot for no results.

How About If You Get One Anyway?

If you are thinking of buying an ionic air purifier anyway, just to be sure that your air is extra safe, and you don’t have any severe breathing condition like the ones described above, please change your mind. You will wind up doing yourself more harm than good.
First off, there really isn’t anything small enough in the air that it will be able to filter out that would do you any good.

“Consumer Reports” and some other product review services recommend strongly that healthy people do not live with an ionic air purifier. The only exception was for a non-smoker who was temporarily stuck with living with a smoker. The best bet for that non-smoker’s health would either be to move or to get the smoker to quit, but until then, an air purifier such as the Ionic Pro air purifier can help ease the pain of the smell and irritation.

Environmental Concerns

An ionic air purifier should be used as little as possible and only be used by people who genuinely could benefit from it. It should never be used just for the heck of it. This can harm the planet and contribute to global warming. It also can damage your lungs and bronchial tract.

An ionic air purifier generates ozone in order to work. That’s the same kind of ozone that put the holes over the protective atmosphere layer over the planet. Ozone is toxic in large doses. Living with an ionic air purifier exposes you to dangerously high doses. People who have these kinds of air purifiers have been found to get ozone in their lungs.

In conclusion, there is more hype than hope when it comes to air purifiers, no matter what kind they are. We live in a society where we expect machines and pills to instantly save us from any problem we might be in. However, in the case of the air, we need to work on ending global warming rather than using another electronic gizmo in order to breathe deeply.
