What's great about it: small and compact
What's not so great: smells when on
Haven't seen much difference since it's summertime. Winows are open so not sure if that doesn't help. Will be able to see in the winter where we usually have the issues with dust.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Nothing!
What's not so great: Doesn't Work!
Bought this 6 mos. ago with no problems. I cleaned it several times and could see the dust it was collecting (GREAT!) Then the clean light came on again for another cleaning. Cleaned the blades like I've done in the past and how the manual says, let them dry, and placed them back in the unit. Now the clean light stays on and the unit does not run!! Cleaned them again and again - same thing; clean light stays on! Used an air compressor on the unit; clean light stays on! After researching this problem on the internet, seems MANY have encountered the same problem. Don't waste your money on this piece of junk!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: inexpensive, compact, a great idea
What's not so great: I was one of the few that gets the one that doesn't work at all.
Unfortunately this product did not work at all. I had to return it to a store because I didn't want to ship it. I'm sure that I was just one of the unlucky ones. It would have been great if it actually worked.

What's great about it: pulls all kinds of stuff out of air
What's not so great: not as silent as advertised but not loud
Never owned one before to compare this to but have multiple pets and one smoker. After just a couple days it had pulled A LOT out of the indoor air. If you have high traffic, be sure to clean often and READ INSTRUCTIONS to avoid any kind of electric shock. It is not silent but is quiet and sounds a bit like a humidifier. I do not regret this purchase :)

What's great about it: Quiet, easy to clean
This is a smaller version of an air purifier we already owned. Both the larger version and this more compact one are great. They are both virtually silent and easy to clean. And, no filters to replace! The smaller one does give off a blue glow from the light, but that hasn't been a problem for us, even in our bedroom.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to operate
What's not so great: nothing
Ordered and 1st one was DOA. Called manufacturer, no help said if the thin hair wires were not broke in the back, just return to Store. I had a sick feeling, I got a lemon and hand to deal with returning. Called Best Buy, they were great, immediately sent a return label, and even called telling me they did so. What a releif, they were professional and took care of everything even the postage for the return and the new on sent. The new one arrived and plugged it in, the lights came on this time and I felt the air blowing out the front. It arrived on wednesday 10/14/2009, being I am in Indiana, it only took overnite delivery. The unit has been running on high every since, it is not Friday 10/16/2009, the blades are tuning black with dirt and collecting all the dust in this studio apartment. The very light ozone smell coming from the unit does not bother me at all. It is just reminds me the unit is working. I recommend this unit if dust is a problem in your home. And buy from Best Buy as my experience was totally unexpected.

What's great about it: Cleans the air exactly as it claims
What's not so great: Cleans the air but leaves a metallic smell in the room when running
I am an asthmatic and this air purifier does exactly what it claims to do. Compared to the old Honeywell air purifiers that were huge round domes that sat on the ground, this one hardly takes up any space. It is small so it can be tucked away into a corner and is super quiet. This device really does purify the air; before I got it I was having bronchospasms for three weeks straight. They are slightly expensive but worth it for anyone who wants a cleaner living environment. I highly recommend this product.

I dont know if it even works. The light is on and it acts like its on. It has been running for 4 months without a cleaning. The light to tell you it needs cleaning has never come on. I look inside and it is a little dirty. Who knows if its working right?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Pretty blue LED light
What's not so great: The smell
Now, maybe I'm just ignorant to what an air purifier is or does and if so you can totally disregard this review. My girlfriend and I bought this purifier in the hopes that it would help reduce our dust/pet hair problems and at the same time freshen the air quality. Now I don't want to sound negative or anything but, we used the Ionic Pro for two months and all it ever really did was emit an odd smelling scent and attract a little bit of dust to the metal blades that are found on the inside of the purifier. The scent reminded me of a fried circuit board and the amount of dust it collected wasn't any greater than any of the rest of the electronics I own. It does make for an awesome night light though thanks to the powerful blue led that indicates the power setting.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Very affordable, and our home's air is 100% better.
What's not so great: I wish I bought one sooner.
We have one cat and two small dogs, our breathing air was getting a bit smelly. Everytime we would walk in the house from outside, we would be like "its smells in here". So I made the best purchase for our home. The air is great, not so dusty smelling either. I would absolutely recommend the Ionic Pro to anyone.

What's great about it: Easy to clean
What's not so great: can be used only in a small room
I would recommend this for a small room. I wouldn't recommend it for a living room or a master bedroom. The product was very easy to clean, and it does not require any filter. You will save a ton of money because you will never have to buy a filter. Remember not to put this product to close to the wall or it will not work properly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Silent, Low power consumption
What's not so great: Doesnt do as well in larger rooms as the box would have you believe
I am using two of these in a 15'x15' room and they work wonderfully. I bought one originally b/c they had good reviews and claimed to work in rooms up to 250 sqft. The room that I put my first one in is 225 sqft and seemed to be a bit too much for the unit. With a second one in the room, I am cleaning then once every two weeks with three computers and two tv's in that room and since I put these in there I have not had to clean any dust from iinside the computers or anywhere else in the room. That alone amazed me. The air is cleaner, there is no more dust in that room and nobody in the house has really been sick since we put these in there.
I am very satisfied with this product and intend to purchase a few more for other areas of the house.
I would recommend this to a friend!
