When you are a first time buyer of an Air Purifier, it's almost certain you have heard of or seen an image of an Ionic pro air purifier or something like it. These types of purifiers are extremely popular and sell very well. However, their performance is not what it could be compared to similar products. So why do they sell well? Easy, they have excellent marketing. They look very attractive and sleek, and are sold as something that looks good in your home. In reality, how well does the average person understand an air purifier? I myself had to do quite a bit or research to even understand how they worked.

The main problem with these types of purifiers is the ozone they produce. For whatever reason it is not that well known that the ozone that is produced is a known Lung irritant, which can be a bad combination for anyone with an asthma type condition. The ozone builds up in the room fairly quickly and if it is poorly ventilated the amount will go past what is the recommended exposure.

Another draw-back of an Ionic Pro Air Purifier is the electrostatic charge it uses; this will make dust stick to walls and other surfaces, thus making your room even dirtier. Consumer Reports has voiced their opinion quite a bit on these purifiers, basically saying they are no good with the ozone and that they don't circulate the air well enough. You can also find reviews of people who have purchased these before at online stores and see the similar trend of negative reviews. An alternative to these is a good HEPA purifier. They have a good reputation and don't produce anything that would be harmful.
