B-1000 Permanent Filter Ionic Air Purifier Pro Ionizer with UV-C Sanitizer, New (Black)

First let me say... Filling a chamber with negatively charged ions dates back more than 4,000 years, to civilizations well before the Egyptians. It was used for health benefits both physically and mentally. Secondly... Finally a device from China with an extra long cord! Thirdly.... This is not a 400$ negative ion, ozone creation, hepa, UV-C model, so don't expect it to act like one. This does exactly what it's expected and designed to do. I've had a large sized industrial Orek model for decades, so I know what to expect, not to mention being an electrical engineer for 35 years. For those who say it doesn't seem to be working, put your nose directly in the output breeze and you will smell the ionization, a very distinct scent. It's not from the UV-c, it's not from the small carbon filter. The difference is like catching the scent of a nearby chlorinated pool, it is unlike the air commonly found. People that still use there grandma's old fashion blenders, you know that odor you get from the motor after a few seconds, that's from the sparks it makes between the carbon brushes and the stator, its not ozone or ions, but it makes a specific scent. If your not getting a distinct scent from your device, and it smells like any other blown fresh air, then the Ionizing part needs to be troubleshooted. If you hear crackling noises or spark noises coming from it, you need to clean it, honestly check it every couple weeks because if you live in a very dusty, highly used environment, it will collect particles quickly, it only takes a few seconds to look. Always make sure you turn it off and unplug it at the back, it uses high voltage. When you pull the big collector out from the center, do it evenly, straight out, no leaning at all. My Orek ionizer used 12 thin strings of wire, this one only uses 4, so obviously not as powerful, but it does the job its designed to do for smaller rooms. If your looking for power and quicker results, spend over 250$. Never stick your fingers inside the device when the collector is out, you could damage the wires. I noticed someone posted they tested there's with an Ion measuring device and it read "0", that's because this only puts out less than .06, or your Ionizer is broken. This one is great for small rooms if you place it properly and just let it run, it may take days before you notice any change, but you will. Otherwise if you leave your windows open all the time or have constant traffic in and out of the home, better go for the budget breaking 400$ models. It also helps greatly if you have a home heating system that does "Fan Only", which recirculates the air thru your heating systems filter. Since negative ions attach themselves to the dust particles in the air, making them heavier and easier for the filter to catch and they will also sink to the floor, so using your floor intake vents will also help to recirculate the fresh air and filter out more particles, reaching the rest of the house evenly. Also a good idea to dust and vacuum (With Hepa Filter) the area around the ionizer to help get rid of the particles it already neutralized. This Ionizer works on the same principle as those little battery operated ionizer air fresheners for refrigerators, just have to give it a proper amount of time to do its job, set it and forget it. The UV-C light and carbon filters are just added bonuses for the harmful bacteria, icing on top of that fresh air cake. If I have any concerns or problems with my new Ionizer, I will come back and do an update. Also I would leave the blue "night light" off if its used near where people are trying to sleep, blue LED light will cause your body to not feel sleepy and will prevent you from getting a full nights rest due to the chemical reactions it causes inside you. Have any questions, feel free to ask me, I'd be happy to help if I can.

The design of this is so smart compared to other ion purifiers. I really really like it and have purchased 4 of them, 2 for me 2 as gifts. Let me start by hitting on a few things I read in other reviews, The UV light and night light are two separate elements, the UV light is located in the top housing by the fan and is not visible when it is running. The night light has an on off switch but when it is off it is kind of still on, a very very very dim blue light emanates from it. I'm not sure if this is light from the UV bulb or if it is designed that way. The unit does sound like it has something loose in it when you move it. Like other ionic purifiers it has very fine wires that transfer the charge to the core. The build up dust and the noise you hear is actually cause by a cleaning mechanism. The wires have bearings on them instead of a manual slide, so when you tip the unit the spheres will slide up and down on the wires and clean them off. This does produce a minute amount of ozone according to the book it is 0.05 parts per million (PPM).. Also, yes this may cause dust to fall out of the air, the negative charge it produces causes molecules to stick together and the heavier dust may fall out and build out around it. Better for it to be on a surface where you can whipe it up instead of floating in the air you breath,right? Over time the dust will decrease as more and more is removed. This is not a HEPA filter, if you need every single piece of dust and pollen removed and don't mind buying expensive filters every few months then maybe this is not for you. Like I said the design is very smart, the air enters from the bottom, passes over a seamless core (which is extremely easy to clean then through a carbon filter and over the UV light. The fan is located at the top of the unit and unlike with other fan driven ionizers it is receiving cleaned air instead of dirty air which makes the fan far less likely to build up dust on it. The core is my favorite part. Unlike other ionizers that use fin or plate like anodes that are tightly spaced and hard to clean in-between the core of this is a 4 sided seamless design that is super easy to wipe off. Plus these haven't yet made that annoying crackling noise that other ionizers make when they are dirty. It is fairly effective at removing odors, the cores have captured a lot of fine particulates from the air in my home. I was really shocked to see how much black particulate carbon / soot ended up on the cleaning rag which I assume is coming from the increasing traffic and the gas / oil boom around here. It was disturbing but I am glad it is out of tge air. The UV-C light helps a lot with bacterial odors from things like litter boxes, stinky shoes, dish sponges etc. Plus UV-c light can kill or disable viruses and bacteria leading to over all better health and air quality. I recently spent 35$ on a plug in UV-C purifier without the ionizer from my bathroom so for just a few buck more you can get a much better option for odor removal and air purification. I have used many ionizers and filters over the course of my life and I can so I do really like this. I can not speak to the longevity of the product as I have only been using them for about 3 weeks, time will tell.

I researched for about 2 months seriously, to find the best quality and price for an ionizer air purifier. Im a person willing to wait for the best deal. The actual mechanism that makes an ionizer is simple.....getting it at a non-ridiculous and moral price is not. The ion b 1000 is the best i could find! How it looks, how simple it is to clean and maintain, how very nearly silent it is and how it truely Works to give you clean fresh smelling air makes it a fantastic buy! It does the job in my large bedroom despit the moving central air and open door! I've absolutely slept through the night every night since day one of using it. I was waking every two to four hours every night before recieving it. My research also showed, even by places like the NIH the ionized air helps with winter depression and mood in general all year round. The ammout of ozone it produces is Truely insignifcant. Do your oun research. You can buy ozone detectors and air particle detectors to test it yourself. I'm purchasing at least one more for the down stairs and another large activity room. HEY, we consumers are catching on......the hype and the packaging can add hundreds of dollars to a comperable or even a less well made product......i hate waisting money!!!! I always do the research and can be very surprized at times with finding a well priced quality product like the ion b 1,000!

At first I thought they weren't working. If used in larger room, they work, but they take a few days to notice a difference. My son had these in his basement. It smells so fresh and clean down there that everyone asks about it. Including me. That is why I bought 2. Nothing else has worked to get the cat smell out of my living room area. That is one of the toughest things. We have cleaned and tried it all. Including other air purifiers. Put two of these in our living room area. After about a week, we now have no cat smell. We are now putting one in my girls bedroom. If it takes out the cat smell from there, we will be getting a lot more for rhe whole house. Can't recommend these enough. They are great. Oh, and if you get a rattle sound, its not broke. The filter is not paper but metal. Needs to be wiped smooth about once a week. I saw a review where the person said it was broke upon opening and it made a rattling sound. It wasn't broke. Its the metal filter. Lol take time to read rhe instructions. This air purifier does a lot. From UV cleaning, ozone and negative ionizer. Its great. Dont be fooled by its size. Oh and its not a fan so dont expect it to blow like wind through your room.:) it works just fine and is not too loud like my other air purifier which are now no longer in use but obsolete because I am only using these from now on.

So, the product does a good job of cleaning the air. I do have a fresher feeling when I am in my room. I use it in my room with the sole purpose of getting rid of an herbal smell. The product does do a decent job of getting rid of the smell, but it isn't as instant as I desired. I personally feel my expectation were unreasonable. I paid around $50 and have no regrets for it around that price. I only gave it a 4 star, because i intentionally skip over the 5 stars when I review the product. The product is good, but if you are buying it to rid of freshly burned herbs to the point of nonexistence. I'm afraid this isn't it. This does do a good job of getting rid of the smell from them being in closed room.
