Question: this item looks great! can i ask has any one measured the neg ions coming out of this thing? Or how do you know it really does? Thanks all
Document: It's easy to use. Just plug it in and it's ready to go. It's also completely silent. I don't notice any scent or odor coming from the unit either, which is a good thing from what I've read. I totally recommend it.
this is a lil marvel to the small in-the-know group of individuals. i mean not too many people have even ever heard of negative ions and until recently i include myself in that group. if your reading this no need to go into the benefits of negative ions as you probably know. Now lets get back to this lil marvel..wow! who would of thought to have a projector like negative ion generator?
I'm sitting next to it.Another great positive about this item is that IT DOES NOT SMELL. Often products that come from China made of metal and plastic have a sickening, literally sickening WD-40 like smell but much worse. And this item is made in America!You may be thinking, "Why not get the air purifier since it's got more stuff built in?" if you're short on money.
This ionizer is powerful and in comparison to the Holmes air purifier I bought which also generates negative ions (which I confirmed using the ion tester that comes with this item).
A friend showed me another ionizer using carbon fibers from Comtech Research costing over twice as much. We tested both units twice, and this one (for only $69) put out over twice the ions of the more expensive unit.
And a special note to the seller........when do we see the 2nd and 3rd generations?? Thanks!EFresno Ca
The detector on this lit up and stayed solid in front of this dedicated ion maker, but in front of the air purifier the detector only flickered.Oh and this is a solid item as the seller said it was, it's not thin plastic and there's no rattling of any parts and it sits evenly rather than lopsided like a cheap item might. It's a nice non-distracting color too.
For her birthday, I bought her one of these for her home office, where she spends most weekdays.It took a couple weeks, but she began to brighten up and the office even began to smell a little less stuffy. Coincidence? Possibly, but when she asked me today if I thought it has made a difference in her attitude, I answered, &#34;Definitely!&#34;
Was a little concerned when I first looked at it, but seems like its cranking out a ton of negative ions.
In the late '70s, I interviewed on of the top two experts on negative ions in the world, for an article that I wrote for a magazine. Shortly thereafter, I actually sold ionizers for a little while.Since then, I have tried different models, and was usually disappointed in them. They either rusted quickly, created ozone (bad for you and smells bad too), or had too little output.This ionizer is perfect.
Answer: It comes with a detector.  It really works.  I like it, you can feel the effect by putting your palm in front of it.   It does look like a retro spy cam so if you have guests they will comment on that :)
