Ionic Pro CABR1 Mini Ionic Air Purifier

I purchased the Ionic Pro a few months ago to help alleviate litter box odor. It was smaller than expected and is really not a "convenient" product. It does not have an electrical cord. It plugs directly into the electrical outlet. So it is really difficult to place it exactly where you want it to be and thus, its effectiveness could be hampered.

It does a good job on most odors most of the time--minimal to slight odors. However, when there is a particularly stong odor, the product is less effective. If you want to combat strong odors, I would suggest purchasing one of the more powerful/bigger Ionic products.

I've owned 3 of these in past years, purchased at Home Depot and Walmart. Until this recent purchase (May 2010), I hadn't bought one since 2007. They are no longer available in retail stores, probably because a couple years ago the EPA asked retailers to curtail the sale of ozone-emitting devices. They didn't ban them outright, they just said that too much ozone is unhealthy and could you please make it harder to buy ozone generating gadgets, pretty please?

Enter the new, dis-improved Ionic Pro. The reason I used to like this little device is because it used to make a lot of ozone. Plug it in for a day, and there was plenty of ozone to deodorize a cat box contaminated room, or a smelly closet, or a living room after a party. Now it takes 3 days to get enough ozone generated to smell it in a closed closet. The device appears to have been neutered in order to generate a minimum of ozone.

I just bought this item at a local walmart since it was on sale. Figured if it didn't work like most of these air purifiers end up I can just walk in and return it.

I plugged it in my spare bathroom where I keep my cat food, spare litter and cat box. That room has never smelt so good. Its been about 4 days and I actually forgot to clean the box 1 or 2 times since I never smell it anymore.

This item needs no filters just wash it once a week or so depending on exposure to debris. It also provides a night light. However the light is really weak so do buy this item for the light. Over all just under a week in and I am very satisfied with this product. This item is also ULTRA SILENT. I mean the only way I know it is on is I switched it on, and later that day the stink of the room is mysteriously gone!!
