"The best consumer ionizer to date".
Matt says:
I've been waiting for a forced air ionizer/air cleaner like this for awhile. I use fan based HEPA air filters, and this is by far quieter than any of those. On medium and low settings, the Oreck is nearly completely silent. Even on high, for the amount of air it puts out, I still consider it moderately quiet. Remember, I'm accustomed to fan based HEPA filters, so this is by far more quiet than any.
As for the odor absorbency, this leaves a bit to be desired. It does work but not in a single pass manner. Many carbon filter manufacturers (the part of HEPA filters that scrub out odor) usually pride themselves on single pass efficiency. In other words the ideal goal is to eliminate 99.9% of odor on the first pass. I am a smoker so this becomes important to eliminate smell ASAP.
On all settings, low, medium, high, the odor would be scrubbed about 85% out. For non smokers or low to moderate odor environments, this is probably good enough. The odor scrubber is simply a few strips of ultraviolet LEDs' that can be turned on and off, though I see no reason to turn it off. Ultraviolet light is the best odor absorber to date; however being LEDs' and the fact that a little odor remains tells me the LEDs' don't put out true UV light, or are simply not powerful enough.
Pros:
Super quiet Easy to clean, nearly fool proof Doesn't get dirty too quickly It will dry the "Truman cell" ionizer prior to energizing it, so it doesn't cause permanent damage. Nightlight that has 3 brightness levels (off, low, high) Remote control
Cons:
Odor absorbency could be better, but is adequate.
