Ionic Pro Therapure 100 Compact Germicidal Air Sanitizer

Comment: It is the end of July 2010 and we purchased this unit on February 3, 2010 -- LESS than 6 months ago. It is in a small bedroom and within a couple of weeks the fan made the horrific noise others have complained about in these reviews. I did the canned air thing and things seemed fine -- for a couple of months. Now the noise is back and the airflow is NON-EXISTENT -- no amount of canned air or tilting or speed changing is correcting these problems. The unit is now worthless and from I've read I won't even bother with trying to get the company to stand behind their product. I see Amazon has stopped carrying this model -- good for them.

Comment: I purchased this unit in December, and have waited until mid-April to write my review (hoping things would get better). This product is FAR from the wonderful air purifier that is described. It does not have a powerful fan, it does not clean the air, it does not remove oders, it does not help my son with asthma - VERY frustrating! I have recently purchased both the Crane Shark and Penguin purifiers and am very satisfied with their functions! Do NOT purchase this unit if you are not going to be using it in an 8x8 office space (or smaller) as it will be fruitless. I do not like to leave bad reviews - hence waiting so long hoping things would work out better - but I would be remiss if I did not inform others about wasting their money on this item (Ionic Pro therapure 100 compact germicidal air sanitizer)!

Comment: This product works real well. Keeps the smell of our cat box undercontrol and only needs cleaning every 2 months or so.Ionic Pro Therapure 100 Compact Germicidal Air Sanitizer

Comment: I read a lot of the reviews before I bought this and another Therapure ionizer as a package deal. Let me begin by saying that it was useless so far as I can tell. I had it in my office, which at the time was no more than 50sqft and frankly couldn't tell the difference when it was on or off, no matter how long it ran. The one benefit it had was that it blew air like a quiet fan, which was enough to keep it around. That and the hope that maybe it was doing something good that I just could not perceive.

Then about two months after I bought it, it began to buzz... loudly, and the airflow seemed to stop altogether. I contacted customer service and was connected with a call center. I was disconnected twice, was once told the computers were down and each person I talked to was more useless than the next. Finally, I was told that I had to return the filter to the company and pay a $30 processing fee, so that the unit could be fixed and returned to me. When I asked what the fee was for, they said it was to pay for the call center and the warehouse.

Don't waste your money. If you need an air filter, spend a little bit more for one from a reputable company. Otherwise it is good money after bad and you don't even have an air filter to show for it.

Comment: For filtering, it only has a little foam filter. Luckily my problem was mainly one of mold, so it mostly does the trick. The product description and name are quite misleading.
