When we got this set, I loved it, and while it worked, it worked great. Both my son and I have horrible allergies and this kept us from suffering. HOWEVER!! About 1 year after I dished out the $175 I paid for these units, one stopped working. I called customer support, who told me a replacement would be no problem, but tech support would have to call me back. Tech Support called a few hours later and was very heavily Indian accented, I had a hard time understanding, but after doing what he suggested, the unit still wasn't working so I called the direct number he gave me. He told me I needed to buy the extended warranty (2 more years) for $30. At first I thought this was great, until he told me then it would be $30 for them to send the unit back to me, after I paid to ship the unit to them... That means I would spend $90 on one unit to get it "fixed"! It was insane to me. The other unit followed suit and died a few months later. Please save your money and don't get this unit. It won't last.

We live in an older building, which means we have mold. After the air conditioning system clogged and spilled water down the walls, we ordered this set. The package arrived withing four days of ordering. I think that is very prompt service. The Ionic Pro Air Purifiers have reduced the dust, lint (in the sewing room) and odor in the apartment. The units are easy to clean, though we will be buying spare fins before Winter. They are so quiet, and do not interfere with sleep, conversations, or listening to TV or radio. The nicest asset is the lack of the musty, mildewed "aroma" we smelled every time we came in from the outdoors. The bonus car ionizers do work, but we drive with windows down, so can't give an accurate assessment of their abilities. I would (and have) recommended this product to friends and family who have allergy-related problems. Cordially, Nehmah

Having NICE clean air in my room.. My daughter sleeps better, and WOW!!! I can't remember the last time I have slept so good in my room. Im Impressed!!! However.. DO NOT LET THE "free car ionizers" sell you on this. They DO NOT WORK at ALL!!!!! Ohh sure its a very pretty blue light in your vehicle, but there is NOTHING that comes out of the car version is worth it... I've yet to smell ANY difference at ALL in either of my vehicles.. NOT WORTH IT!!

One of the air purifiers did not work. I had to send them back. Do NOT buy this product. Buy the Sharper Image brand. Now, that's quality!

I originally purchased this product 3 years ago from WalMart. I loved the product and had no problems with it. I had a problem with pet odors in my home and after using the product the odors were gone! It was easy to use and easy to clean. After about 3 years of continuous use, the product broke down. I recently purchased the product from Amazon in this 2 pack. I read some customer reviews that were unhappy with the customer service, but since I hadn't had any problems with the product, I ignored them. When I received the product I opened it immediately and plugged them both in. One worked perfrectly, the other was defective. By the time I went to return the product, it was too late to return to Amazon, so I needed to contact the manufacturer. I called them and they said they would call me back. They never did. A few weeks later, I tried again. Then said they would call be back, but again 2 days later I had not heard from them. I called a third time and spoke with a woman that did not speak very good english. She informed me that I would have to mail it to them at my cost and keep track of the shipping number. When the product arrived there I was to call them back and let them know that THEY had received it. Then I would be charged $29.95 to send me a new unit. So, I spent approximately $100 for a defective unit and would have to pay around $60 to get a new one sent to me. Needless to say, I am not returning the product and I will not be purchasing a replacement from this company. Buyer beware!

The Ionic Pro Turbo worked great for about a week. I don't have pets or an excessively dusty house. I followed the directions to the letter, but it continued to make the buzzing sound even after being cleaned. Now it won't work at all. I've had it about 2 months. I've cleaned it several times (not that there is anything to clean) and now as soon as I turn it on it immediately tells me to clean it. It's not in a large room either. I am extremely disappointed in this item and would not recommend to anyone. I read in one review that they had luck with top loading purifiers, but I won't buy from this maker again.

Hi I rarely write reviews, I just want to spare everyone the misery of having to deal with this. I have allergies, I was recommended by someone to buy purifier. Worked beautifully for 3 days, then the Clean light kept coming on! every time I clean it as per the instruction, it would work again but shortly after turn off indicating that I need to clean the unit again! I called customer service, we went through a couple of things. It didn't work. I went back to the store adn I got it exchanged, thinking this unit is not good. 4 days after exchange, Same problem! this unit keep buzzing, and makes these sounds that are similar to the bug zapper, at night i saw the lights from the zapping between the plates! mmmm wouldn't this be a fire hazard in a bedroom! It cleans the air well, but for few days only! I am tired of cleaning the plates every few hours to make it work again and this is when it's less than a week old. I can imagine how long it will be on after a month! don't waste your money. I can't recommend other stuff here, but you may want to look into a different technologies called photocatalysis they are expensive, but they work!

The Ionic Pro Turbo requires very specific cleaning instructions that are a pain. Nonetheless, I followed the instructions to a T. The unit buzzes loudly if it is not cleaned. In my case, no matter how much I cleaned it the unit began to buzz nonstop after 6 months. The manufacturer told me tough luck. They would replace it for $60 and I had to pay shipping to send the old unit back and get the new one. So the total cost was going to be $80. I decided to pass and look for a higher quality better unit. Stay away from products from this company. They are unreliable.

I had an Ionic Breeze for years and it worked fantastic. I also had an Oreck air purifier which also worked great but was expensive so I thought I would save money buying the Ionic Pro. Bad choice. Within 2 weeks it started making noise so I got out the cleaning instructions - did all the numerous things they require you to do (ugh) and cleaned with a damp cloth and set it out overnight before returning to the unit. For one, the blades collected almost nothing. Although my house is very clean I would have expected more. I use it for my allergies. I followed the directions to the tee but the darn thing started making that annoying noise almost immediately. Went through the steps again and again then the noise went away but now the unit turns off after a few hours. I have to set a calendar reminder to pump the unit once every 2 weeks which is so ridiculous. The product description and advertising is misleading and a joke. You just don't wipe with a damp cloth and off you go - sorry not true. This product is a rip-off. I guess if you have nothing better to do but maintain this unit then it's for you. Oh, by the way, calling customer service? Right, they think of many ways not to make good on the warranty. What a surprise.

I got this when I lived next door to a smoker. It did help clean the air but not immediately as the neighbor was smoking but it cleared the air much faster than it would have if I wasn't usint the unit. It was quiet and it had no filters I had to replace but if I left it on long enough this God awful metallic smell would come from it and it made the air feel heavy to me. Even after I'd shut it off, it still had an odor to it. I would not recommend this unit. For me, it seemed bad for my health, just by the way it made me feel after it had been on for awhile.

I haven't really noticed a difference in the air around the area that I put the product. I have noticed however the noise that it seems to make when doing whatever it does. It is constantly making a fuzzy, crackling noise. I've tried cleaning it and the noise goes away for about a day, then it comes back.

I bought this to try in the living room (12 x 10) because I wanted something quiet and without a replaceable filter. I didn't really expect it to do a very good job and thought I would be moving it into the bathroom, where it was designed to go. Mostly, I wanted to know whether there was anything worthwhile about the Ionic Breeze family of products and whether I should think about getting one the right size for the living room. But this little guy is working okay. It keeps the dust way down. It makes little static popping noises from time to time. There's always a lot of fuzzy stuff on the collection grid. I'm going to buy another one for my bathroom.

I am a soldier currently serving in Iraq. We get frequent sand and dust storms, and when the dirt starts kicking up, everything gets dirty. I purchased one of these for my room and i could tell the difference in air quality as soon as the next day. This last dust storm we had, i did not even know we were having until I actually opened my door. This product is amazing and i am sorry i did not discover this sooner. My only complaint is that after you clean it, It is a little loud for a couple of days. Its not an overpowering sound, just static.

I HAVE AN IONIC BREEZE QUADRA COMPACT THAT I REALLY LIKE. WAY BETTER CLEANER THAN ORECK. MAYBE IF YOU LEFT ORECK ON HIGH SETTING ALL THE TIME, IT WOULD CLEAN BETTER. BUT THE NOISE FROM ORECK IS LOUD, EVEN ON THEIR QUIET SETTING. BUT, I WOULD NEVER PUT AN IONIC AIR CLEANER CLOSE TO A WALL. BOUGHT ABOUT 6 OF THESE FOR LAUNDRY, 3 BATHROOMS, AND 2 HALLWAYS. EVENTUALLY THE DIRT THEY ATTRACT STAINS THE WALLS. FORGET ABOUT CLEANING THE MESS, YOU HAVE TO REPAINT. I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY THESE IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THESE ON A PAINTED WALL. I DID KEEP ONE FOR MY MASTER BEDROOM. ONLY BECAUSE THE RECEPTACLE ON THE WALL HAS A MIRROR AS A BACKGROUND. MUCH EASIER TO CLEAN.

I basically used it instead of a Quadra to clean up household dust, cat litter dust, odors, and smoke from a couple smokers. (The blades got coated in tan gunk from pipe smoke that I'm glad didn't end up in my lungs.) I moved it from room to room. It worked great for about a year and a half before the poor thing just gave out. The light worked, but it stopped producing a "breeze." Since then, everything in the house has become coated in a layer of dust, and I frequently have bouts of sneezing in the morning. Time to get a new one.
