You've probably already seen or heard of the Ionic Pro air purifier if you've done any research at all on ionic air purifiers. Even if you are not actually looking to buy one, it's hard to miss the Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier if you watch any late night TV. When it comes to ionic air purifiers, it looks like they've been crowned the new infomercial kings, succeeding The Sharper Image. In fact, you're probably wondering if this Ionic Pro addresses any of the commonly lambasted issues that took the Ionic Breeze air purifiers off the market.
Ionic Pro, LLC makes and distributes the Ionic Pro Air Purifier. There is no other company involved. The Ionic Pro air purifier was, until quite recently, one of those products that could only be had by calling that 1-800 number and talking to those operators who are standing by. However, they've now made it to the shelves of various department stores, including the vaunted Wal-Mart. Now, you can see the fact that this is a company based solely on making ionic air purifiers in one of two ways. Being dedicated to only one product, the Ionic Pro Air Purifier in various sizes, it seems logical that quality control would be simple. However, having a company so small, and so centered on one product, seems like a recipe for disappearing into the night, taking warranties and spare parts with them.
Compared Against The Ionic Breeze Air Purifier
Ionic Pro air purifiers have all the same advantages of the Ionic Breeze Air Purifier. The biggest, and sometimes only difference, is the shape and design of the machines themselves. The Ionic Pro Compact Air Purifier is about the same size as some of the smaller Ionic Breeze machines. The Ionic Pro is generally bit cheaper, though. Since ionic air purifiers aren't terribly complicated devices, it's probably safe to go as cheap as you can find.
Compared Against HEPA Air Purifiers
Comparisons between the ionic air purifiers and HEPA air purifiers aren't quite as straightforward as one might guess. Ionic air purifiers do a nearly identical job compared to a true HEPA air purifier, although a bit less efficiently. To compensate for that, they are able to silently, continuously run, while using a minimum of electricity. There's also no filter element that needs to be changed, only the bar that has to be wiped off once a week, or when it begins to buzz. HEPA air purifiers, on the other hand, may be limited by the filter used. To put it very simply, they stop particles by shoving air through holes that those particles cannot pass. A true HEPA air purifier will be guaranteed to stop 99.7% of those particles that are the most important to stop. However, HEPA-type air purifiers have no such standard or guarantee. Ionic air purifiers, on the other hand, are all pretty similar, and are really only limited by the amount of air they are capable of moving. As they attract the particles through magnetization, they'll clean pretty much everything out of the air, if given time, while a HEPA-type air purifier can't physically catch anything that is capable of getting through those holes. Don't forget this when you are comparing. An ionic air purifier can only catch particles which are equal to or larger than 1 micron, though. True HEPA air purifiers are capable of stopping particles 0.3 microns in diameter, a size that has been proven to be particularly brutal on the human body.
The Ionic Pro Compact Air Purifier Compared Against The Other Ionic Pro Air Purifiers
Ionic Pro, LLC makes it easy to choose by having almost all of their features in every one of their ionic air purifiers. The main difference between the compact and the full-size is the capacity. The Ionic Pro Compact Air Purifier works best in small rooms and offices. Oh, and it's also lacking the Medium fan speed, instead using High and Lo only. Considering the Ionic Pro Compact Air Purifier sells for around half of the cost of the regular one, you might get more benefit from two compact units instead of the one standard.
