 Ionic Pro CA200T Twin Pack Compact Ionic Air Purifier with Bonus Car Ionizers By: Ionic Pro Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 47 More Information I like them  On: 2008-10-29I like the products. I use them in a small 2 story townhouse. I had serious kitchen smell from my George Foreman Grill cooking. Now, 1 day later, there is no odor in the kitchen!! My Hepa filer did nothing to remove odor. I recommend this product. Good but not great  On: 2008-10-20We are going from a Living Air Ionizer which died. The Ionic Pro does not have nearly the range in part because it does not have a fan. However, because of no fan, it is extremely quiet. It works adequately in the smaller rooms, or in the kitchen if you fire up both of them at the same time. We have not used the bonus car ionizers, as they are rather bulky. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY  On: 2008-10-14We bought this set of smaller air cleaners along with one of the larger models. Please see my review on that bigger model. The smaller ones didnt totally give out like the larger model, but the smell emitted from them concerned me (kind of a hot "burning" electronics smell) that I no longer trusted them in our childrens room. positive review On: 2008-08-18greast product. kills all odors including dog-in-the-house. everyone who comes over remarks that you cant tell I have a dog. Then I show them the ionic pro. Great Deal On: 2008-08-11We got these when the baby was born to keep down some of the dust - we put one in our room and one in the living room and they seem to work fine. They are very quiet and dont take up alot of space. They work for about a month or so without needing cleaned but cleaning is fairly easy and only takes a few minutes (plus a few more to dry). We use the car ones to, only I cant tell if there is much difference. I suppose they work fine as I dont seem to have to dust the dashboard as often. Great product! On: 2008-07-21My room used to smell like pet odor really bad because of a few accidents that my pets had when they were puppies. I tried everything as far as carpet cleaners and getting professionals out there to get the smell out but nothing ever worked. I pretty much gave up hope and got a ton of the Febreeze air fresheners that I sprayed every morning. Well, I bought these and put one in the room and it has never smelled like pets again. It has helped a lot with my allergies as well. I clean it out about once a week and it gets really dirty. So that makes me feel good that it is picking up all the bad stuff. I highly recommend these things for anyone. ionic On: 2008-07-16works great i have 2 dogs and two cats inside. they want 189 for the set at the store so what a buy Disappointing On: 2008-06-27I guess my first review got rejected for the mention of a certain website regarding the word ripoff. This was a fairly important point, so Ill try to make note of why. Unfortunately my first review was a little better, but here goes: First Ill give a report of my experiences with product failure and customer service, then Ill give some general impressions after using the unit for a little less than a year. Recently my red clean light came on, and no matter how clean the blades and wires were, the clean light would come on after the unit was powered on. This happens after 11 months of mostly continuous use. I emailed Ionic pro, and got a phone number to call. I called this number and they gave me another phone number to call. It turns out that the first phone number was for Ionic Pro sales, and the second was for retail sales (even though my email specified "I bought this thing from Amazon"). The second phone call resulted in the need to troubleshoot. Since I had done some research online, and since I had a second unit, I knew it was the unit itself - not the blades. If I didnt have the twin pack I wouldnt have had the ability to diagnose this problem - with or without the service representative. It could have been the blades - apparently running the unit on high power shortens the blade life. The blades "dull" and must be replaced. Or something in the body of the unit breaks and the whole unit needs replaced. My option was as follows. Fax a copy of my sales receipt to a bogus fax number. This is where my first review was stopped. Looking this phone/fax number online gave disturbing results leading me to believe it was a bogus fax (the ripoff report). After (or in addition to faxing) I had to ship the unit to them with a copy of the receipt. When they got the unit they would call me for my credit card number so they could ship a new unit. The joke here, is that I pay to ship the broken unit to them, and I pay for shipping on the new unit. I have no idea how much it would cost for me to ship to them, but the shipping of the new unit via USPS was $29.99. So I can only imagine that my under warranty replacement would cost me roughly $60. The replacement process seems rather inefficient, costly, and has some suspicious details. I must say the representative on the second phone call was nice and helpful. But the service options are disappointing. All in all, this product is fairly noisy. When it buzzes you are supposed to lift a little lever to clean the wires, this hardly makes a difference. It was quiet for a few days, then I was never able to attain silence again - no matter how clean everything looked. There is also an annoying bright blue LED that leaves a nice bright spot on the ceiling. Sure this could be covered up with tape. After a few weeks of what I thought was success with this product, I almost bought a set for my parents. Im certainly glad I didnt. Given the costs of under warranty replacement, the sale price is no real bargain. I have yet to decide whether Ill return the unit and pay IP another $60, but I doubt it. cleanr On: 2008-05-14easy to use. easy to clean. doesnt require a lot of space. very nice. Great Product On: 2008-05-06I got these to replace my ~4 year old Ionic Breeze, which had died on me. Im an allergy suffer and the Ionic Breeze was effective at keeping my allergies in check, so I figured Id give one of the knock offs a try and save ~50%. After only a few hours use I got noticable allergy relief. The Ionic Breeze is a slightly nicer product, but at twice the cost. I opted for the deal Amazon offered: 1 Ionic Pro Turbo + a twin pack of the compact Ionic Pros. Im not sure why there are so many complaints about bright LED. Sure its bright, but its not keep you up at night bright. Maybe previous models had a brighter LED. The compact Ionic Pro, delivers both clean air and a solid value. I no longer miss my Ionic Breeze (which was also a great product). Great product On: 2008-04-11The air purifier seems to be doing its job we have only cleaned it once and we have owned this for about 3 weeks now? Doesnt make any noise nice and quiet. It only makes noise when it needs to be cleaned. do you have asthma? On: 2008-03-25I had purchased these ionizers to try to reduce the amount of dust and relative stale-smelling air in my condo and to help my allergies/asthma. I was excited to try them out, but then I did some reading and found out that they attract the dust by releasing ozone into the air (Google it for a better explanation). I read in a few places that it is "unlikely" that the low levels of ozone they emit could be harmful to people with conditions like asthma, but they dont really know with certainty. I also read that it may be best to run the purifiers when you are NOT home, and shut them off when you are there, again, something to do with the ozone. They may work great, and pose absolutely no health risk to anyone, who knows. I dont take chances with my health, though, so I decided to return them. There are other types of air purifiers that do not use this method, and Im considering one of those, instead. Worst things about any type of eletronic air purifiers  On: 2008-03-09I have done tons of research on these type of electronic air purifiers including have family members how bought these as well. First I like to say that study and test show that Ionic Breeze has the lowest ratings possible and are made very cheap even there $800. dollar models. Also that 3rd party manufacturers like Ionic pro to name a few are built and filter the air a lot better the Ionic Breeze(brand name) models. The downside Unless you like the smell of air being electronic discharged like the smell of a lighting storm and headaches to go along with it then I would recommend to stay away from these regardless of the brand. If you dont mind it then go buy any nock off model just stay away from Ionic breeze which is made cheap and they also live up to marketing hype and advertisements to rely on business. Just like Blue-Ray dvds. Dont take my word for it do the research and see your self. Good?  On: 2008-03-02Im going to have to agree on a lot of the other reviews about this comment. When I first received this product, I immediately placed one in the living room and my bedroom. At that time, my roommate and I were coughing uncontrollably, unaware that this was flu season and not your common allergies. So for the first month of having this product I couldnt really tell if it was indeed cleaning the air in our apartment. Sometimes I sense that the air does in fact smell cleaner, but then I realize that my roommate had opened up some of the windows to let some fresh air in. :P Another thing I need to point out is that our living room is well over 250 feet square in area. So that could be why I cant really tell if this product is working in the living room. As for my bedroom, I believe my bedroom is about 250 square feet in area, but again....I cant really tell if its working. In fact, I see that my furniture collects more dust than before. I have to dust every week! I use to live with another roommate who had a similar product like this one but just in a full size and everything I walked into their apartment I could really feel that the apartment air was truly clean. Maybe Im comparing my product to theirs too much. ;P To get to the point of this review, I had this product for 2 whole months now and Im still questioning if it works as they say it works. Im going to just keep it on HI for the next month or so and see if I sense any changes and at that time Ill re-edit my review. In any case, two medium size air purifiers for $150.00 is not too bad so I cant really complain. :) Great Product On: 2008-02-08Ionic Pro is a great company and these two products are fantastic. They are, indeed, totally silent and do what they claim they do. I also have the larger version and love them all. They are so easy to clean it is scary how well they work. Instructions say to just wipe them off, but smoke does not just rub off easily. I spray the blades with a cleaning solution and let it sit in the bathtub, then turn on the shower and it rinses off cleanly. No scrubbing at all. Let dry and put it back into the machine and it works just fine. If you are looking for a great air purifier, I highly reccommend these two. If you are worried about the amount of ozone they produce, they are WAY below government standards...and the smell they produce is so clean smelling. The two car versions do not offer a removable blade but they look like they can also be cleaned the same way. Helps with pet odor On: 2008-02-04I ordered the pair of these a month ago and couldnt really tell a big difference when we had them on. They need to be cleaned ever 5 days or so. But, recently weve noticed when coming back from being away for several days that our house really doesnt smell like our dogs anymore. Its not a smell that we would typically notice until we were gone for a few days. Now, the smell is gone. As I said, they do need cleaning fairly often. However, its really not very difficult to clean them. It takes about 1-2 minutes and requires a paper towel. Overall, when looking at the prices of these compared to others, these seem to be a great value. I would recommend them to others. Wowie -- Better than the "other" Ionic On: 2008-01-11Yes, the machines just arrived today. And yes, as always, delivery was on time, well packed, and everything in order, thanks to Amazon. Easy set up, and shazzam the air purifiers were on the grid and making all breathing clean, with little noise. As in none. As in quiet. And, if in the long run they work like the other brand, Ill have less allergies. And, whatever was stinking up the joint wont smell so bad. But, having owned the "other" ionic air purifiers in the past, I can say with total glee, these are better, less expensive, and more efficient, all at less than half what I paid for the original other ones, which are now broken -- thanks mostly to the move from hell gone bad. That is, the older ones worked well, but didnt survive the move, no fault of the other ionic cleaners makers. My piano was dropped 8 times on the way to my flat for goodness sake, so he fact the filter machines broke is certainly not a manufacturing defect. The air purifiers didnt stand a chance. But the new Ionic Pros are more silent that the older other ones. And they work. They work well. Now, on to the good stuff. The air cleaners have already captured a wealth (?!?) of gunk. Not ready for cleaning the blades yet, but they are actually reducing the dust, crud and other assorted airborne stuff that Id otherwise be breathing. And, having been blessed, or cursed, with the auditory acuity of a fruit-bat, the machines are quiet and that is delightful. Lack of noise is very important to me as I treasure my hearing and need to have quiet to work, think and sleep. These are black, so I am presuming they wont show much in terms of dirt. Plus, they are functionally easy to place a foot from a wall, the recommended distance. This means that Ill not trip over them and I get clean air in relative silence. They are cute, in a R2D2 kind of way. They also dont interfere with the decor. Call me eclectic, but mostly call me a decorator with asipirations to a sort of English country house meets the twenty-first century. Being black, these little gizmos take little notice from the eyes. Did I mention they are quiet? And, the best thing about these air purifiers? They do exactly what they are supposed to do, and they do it well in almost silence. Purchase these units with security that you wont be wasting your money. As for the car air purifiers, I cannot say. I dont drive, so these will be gifted to people that might want them. Believe me, Ill also be checking that those that receive, will use them. So, bottom line is this. Go ahead, purchase and breathe deeply. Youll have less chance of inhaling whatever you dont want to breathe in. And that, as they say, is a good thing. And they are really, truly quiet. Wowie -- Better than the "other" Ionic On: 2008-01-10Yes, the machines just arrived today.

Although the car ionizers did not do anything for our cars. I love the fact that they are so easy to clean. No filters, no extra money! adequate for the price On: 2007-12-31We got these to filter out the kids rooms and for the price it works ok. They are easy to maintain. The car ionizers dont do a thing and met the trashcan the next day. If you are expecting a big difference, spend the money. Great job, Great Value On: 2007-12-24We have had these for about a month and have noticed a huge difference. My children were coughing a lot at night and now they hardly cough at all. I noticed a lot dust in the dining room through the sunlight, so I placed one in there and within 1 hour the dust was almost gone. I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because they are a little bit of a pain to clean. You have to lay them down flat in order to get the cleaning blades back in, and it is hard to get in between the blades to clean each one. Overall, very happy with the purchase. I finally quit coughing On: 2007-12-17These are very effective air purifiers. No hassels, no filters, no sound. I needed something that would reduce the dust and animal dander and these do. Im not a smoker so I cant comment on that, but when I cleaned the plates (the system buzzes automatically when the plates need to be cleaned) I was amazed at all the dust and dander that had collected. I live out in the country with dirt roads so we have a lot of dust and I havent coughed since I turned these on. I finally quit coughing On: 2007-12-16These are very effective air purifiers.

I live out in the country with dirt roads so we have a lot of dust and I havent coughed since I turned these on. Great deal. On: 2007-11-22These are great. Good price, big difference in air quality. I work in a shop with a lot of dust & etc. in the air, and it picks up a lot more than I expected. Easy to clean. Odor-wise, only seems to make a difference in a very, very small room -- it has an odd, but very clean electrical smell, but again it definitely makes a difference. The car air freshener things dont really seem to do anything, but those were bonus / not really what I bought it for, anyway. Definitely worthwhile purchase. Less than I expected On: 2007-11-20I purchased this product from a local variety store and after about 3 months it stopped working. I tried to contact the company with their customer service number with no luck (on hold, on hold, on hold---). I then tried to e-mail them asking for a replacement, and was put off and finally ignored. Very unhappy with this product.

Cheap Knockoff of Sharper Image On: 2007-11-19This is a cheap knock off the original. The air flow is very flow compared to the first generation Ionic Breeze. These are about half the size of a normal Ionic Breeze. You have to tilt these on their side to use, and they have a really bright blue led for a power indicator. For the ability to clean the air... Not more cleaning power with these. Dont waste your money. Buy a real one.. I have both at home and these suck. Ionizer On: 2007-10-24Havent had a problem with allergies since we got them. And they are really silent. Great product. Ionizer On: 2007-10-23Havent had a problem with allergies since we got them. And they are really silent. Great product. Great Air Purifier On: 2007-10-11This air purifier is completely silent and does a good job filtering the air (as far as I can tell). The filter is easy to clean (its just three pullout blades that can be cleaned every 1-2 weeks). So far I have been extremely happy with this product and I would recommend it to anyone. Getting two for this price is a bonus and I have one in the master bedroom and one in the living room. My wife has pretty bad allergies and she says the purifiers are doing a great job too. I cant tell that the car ionizers do anything really but I didnt buy the Ionizers so that I could get the car ones so that doesnt really matter to me. Overall, a really good product! Not great, but OK. On: 2007-09-27Ive always wondered if these things really work and in order to find out I just ordered these and tried them out myself. They do help with cleaning "some" dust in the air and they help eliminate odors a bit. Overall I was disappointed and expected quality air or something close to it. I would have returned them but I decided to keep these because cleaning some dust is better than nothing I guess. Not great, but OK.

Theyre quiet, efficient, and take up hardly any space. I did think, however, that the small purifiers that came with my order were for my bathrooms (duh) ... as soon as I opened my package, I realized they were for my car! I would -- and probably will -- buy another set of the Ionic Pros. purifier On: 2007-08-27DONT BUY THIS PURIFIER IS NO GOOD AT ALL, DONT UNDERSTAND WHY IS SOME PERSONS THAT DO RECOMENDED IT MAYBE THEY ARE NOT ALLERGIC ONLY LIKE THE SMELL OF CLEAN purifier On: 2007-08-26DONT BUY THIS PURIFIER IS NO GOOD AT ALL, DONT UNDERSTAND WHY IS SOME PERSONS THAT DO RECOMENDED IT MAYBE THEY ARE NOT ALLERGIC ONLY LIKE THE SMELL OF CLEAN Good Deal On: 2007-08-25I was reluctant to purchase this becasue of some reviews I had read. I do not regret buying the twin pack at all. My only concern after the first month was that the light indicator on one of the two air purifiers went out. It continues to work and both do a very good job of cleaning. Ionic Pro On: 2007-08-15Im glad I got 2 of them. I spin wool and have gotten quite a caugh from doing this and my cough has decreased quite a bit since I have been putting the 2 on while I spin. My sister came over and wasnt sneezing --- and before, she would sneeze and wouldnt be able to stop. All in all, I am very satisfied with the air filters. Not worth the silence On: 2007-07-18The price, space and product is not worth it. It is silent but it removes very little from the air and plus if you open a door or window..poof the stuff out of the air is back. I have puppies and wanted to get rid of their fur on my clothes. This product did absolutely nothing for it. I bought a loud air filter and that seems to work better because it sucks in all the air. But it is loud! good On: 2007-07-10its seems to be working well, I dont see a huge difference in the air quality, but I do see how dirty the grids get, so it must be working good On: 2007-07-09its seems to be working well, I dont see a huge difference in the air quality, but I do see how dirty the grids get, so it must be working Good Product but... On: 2007-06-29I read the reviews before purchasing the air purifiers and felt comfortable enough to make my choice based on them. After using the air purifiers for about a month I noticed that their performance is not as advertised. Even putting the 2 together they dont trapped the dust and allergens like an air purifier is supposed to. The car ionizers? useless. Unknown On: 2007-06-01I really cant tell a difference in the air, but my sons allergies arent as bad as they were so I guess they work. Very quiet and small. clean air On: 2007-05-21I like the idea of not having to buy air filters all the time and the product does seem to pick up alot of dust from the air. the car Ionizer does not make your car smell better, but it does clean up the air. clean air On: 2007-05-20I like the idea of not having to buy air filters all the time and the product does seem to pick up alot of dust from the air. the car Ionizer does not make your car smell better, but it does clean up the air. Great product! On: 2007-05-13The Ionic Air Purifier is a great product. Its simple to use and cleaning the inner filters is very easy. They are completely quiet and dont take up a lot of space. Shipping was on time and customer service called to let me know the product was on the way. They were very polite and Im very satisfied. Breathing clean air! odor-free;allergy-free On: 2007-05-12Its very useful. I put one in the living room to help get rid of pet odor and food odor when cooking in the kitchen and one in my bedroom, since my Pomeranian loves to sleep and play there. Its worth the price. However, I only gave it as a four-star since the ionic car-plug in does not really do a thing. But since it came in for free, I have no complains. Again, the Ionic Pro works great for me and to my apartment. Ionic Pro CA200T Compact Air Purifier On: 2007-03-26It is working excellent. I have an two, one in each bedroom and a set of extra collection blades so I can have them operating at all times. I am pleased with the operation of them and would recommend Ionic Pro. Excellent product for the price On: 2007-03-26I recently purchased these for my wife whos been suffering with a bad cough. We figured that having less dust around her would help plus we have 2 cats. The amount of dust and dirt these pick up is great, and they are totally silent. Very easy to clean as well. I dont really have much to say about the car ionizers, they definitely pump out the ozone, but Im not so sure theyre doing much other than making the car smell different. I would definitely recommend these to anyone. Air Purifier On: 2007-03-25Product works well. Noticing a huge difference. Didnt come with the bonus car ionizer, but i heard that doesnt do much so I dont really care. Love Them!! On: 2007-03-12I love the house air filters but the ones for the car dont seem to work well. I have placed one of the air purifiers in my sons room and notice a difference in the first 24 hours. It is worth the money! love this thing On: 2007-03-10i love my air purifier. i gave it 4 stars because it has to be cleaned every 3-5 days which is just a pain. i can barely remember to change my oil let alone clean it so often BUT im a smoker and it does cut down the cigarette smoke and makes the air cleaner so im a big fan. 2 for under $200 is a steal! love this thing On: 2007-03-09i love my air purifier. i gave it 4 stars because it has to be cleaned every 3-5 days which is just a pain. i can barely remember to change my oil let alone clean it so often BUT im a smoker and it does cut down the cigarette smoke and makes the air cleaner so im a big fan. 2 for under $200 is a steal! Love the purifier, car ones are worthless On: 2007-02-03Love the purifier. I have a 1000 sq ft townhouse, so use this one downstairs. (bought this exact one elsewhere, but didnt get 2) - its a great price if I didnt already have one.. I bought one for $100. I know when its time to clean it, because it makes a static noise, almost like a bug zapper.. but not that loud. The car ionizer is useless to me. First off, when you plug it in, this annoying blue light comes on, and you cant turn it off. At night, its really distracting while youre driving, and I didnt see a difference in my SUV. My vent air freshener works better than that thing. Good Investment On: 2007-01-29Purchased these over a month ago and so far I am very pleased with them. Although they are for smaller rooms, two work really well when placed strategically in the house. For the money, I dont think youll find much better. Not real impressed with the ones that came with them for the vehicle - of course they were free (if there is such a thing), so wont complain. Wouldnt buy them separately. GOOD VALUE On: 2007-01-16I GOT THESE FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS,ONE FOR MY BOYFREIND AND ONE FOR MY BROTHER.THEY WORK GREAT ARE EASY TO CLEAN AND THE PRICE WAS WONDERFUL Excellent buy On: 2007-01-16I love these air purifiers and they are every bit as good as the Sharper Image one I have - but a lot less expensive.
