Can One Still Obtain An Ionic Air Purifier Somewhere?
I’m sure you remember the company The Sharper Image, as well as their retail stores and infomercials that ran all night. Well, those stores are gone, and some people think that ionic air purifiers went with them. Even though you can’t get new ionic air purifiers with that name on them, you can still obtain one. You will have to investigate some other alternative options, however.
The Ionic Pro
The Ionic Pro is a lot like The Sharper Image’s Ionic Breeze, but it’s a lot cheaper than the original ever was. It offers the same lack of maintenance as well. Just pull out the magnetized filter bar, clean it off, then replace. There’s nothing more to it than that. As there’s no fan, it’s uses a lot less energy and is quite a bit less noisy than HEPA air purifiers, though generally less effective. However, if a cheap solution for cleaning the air in a 500 feet is what you’re looking for, but you don’t want anything that makes noise, then an ionic air purifier might still be your best choice.
Generic Ionic Air Purifiers
There are also some ionic air purifiers out there that don’t have branding on them. They’re offered by various websites or bargain stores and are generally around or less than a hundred dollars. Just because they’re not branded doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t work as well, though you may be dependent on the retailer’s warranty alone. Still, the technology behind ionic air purifiers isn’t terribly complicated, so off brands should be somewhat safe.
Noisy Ionic Air Purifiers With Fans
In general, an ionic air purifier won’t use a fan. It uses the constant motion of air particles being magnetically attracted to move the air and generate a light breeze. However, the only ionic air purifier to receive approval from Consumer Reports did come equipped with a fan. Although this may defeat the purpose for some, those who don’t care too much about the sound might prefer these more effective ionic air purifiers. After all, there’s still the advantage of decreased, filter free maintenance.
HEPA Air Purifiers
Instead of an ionic air purifier, you may want to purchase a HEPA air purifier. The main difference lies in the maintenance and filtration. With a HEPA air purifier, you have a filter element that needs to be thrown away every so often and replaced, sort of like your air conditioner. With an ionic air purifier, you have no filters since the offending pollutants just get stuck to the cleanable bar that can just be wiped off. HEPA air purifiers are widely accepted to be more effective than ionic air purifiers, however.
