Ionic Pro CA200B Compact Air Purifier

CONSUMER RATING 8.5/10

At $50, this is a relatively cheap plug-and-go solution to your small air purification needs. It is specially designed to purify small areas and is not suitable to purify the large spaces of your home – unless you buy a number of units, which is not out of the question, considering the reasonable price. It does a good job in individual rooms – cleaning out cooking odours in the kitchen, removing cigarette smoke, relieving allergy symptoms, pet smells, for example. You could move the unit from room to room, according to your individual “odour situation”. If the cat litter is starting to smell, move the Ionic Pro to that part of the house, for instance.

It has a number of nice features, such as it’s low power consumption or energy efficiency. It is really convenient that you don’t have to change the filters, like you do with other purifier types. The Ionic Pro employs a collection rod that traps the impurity in the air, meaning that you don’t have to spend extra money down the road on those filter replacements. I also liked the easy one-touch operation.

Here are a few genuine quotes from people who bought this unit from Amazon.com:

“I have only had the Ionic Pro Compact  for a few days and it is really living up to what I have read and heard about it.”

“With this unit installed, I now have a couple of rooms in the house that I consider safe havens. We still have pets (cats and birds) and I believe the Ionic Pro Compact helps reduce the sneezing runny noses, and helps us get a good night’s sleep.”

“From the moment I turned it on, I had a sense that it was doing wonderful things. But I couldn’t really tell. I had to put it to a test. I cooked up a big batch of sausages and peppers that really stunk up my apartment. I then left for a hockey game. When I got back a few hours later I couldn’t smell the macaroni and cheese – not a single whiff! Also I hate dusting and cleaning, but this is a breeze to clean. So I am getting a second unit for my bedroom, and recommending this to my friends.”
