9 best ionizers according to customer reviews

Creating an optimal climate with clean air in a separate room is a huge industry with thousands of product lines: air conditioners, split systems, air washers, cleaners, etc. But there is one function that consumers often underestimate - air ionization. The healing air of the sea and mountain resorts is so useful just not least because of its saturation with negatively and positively charged ions. So, it is just such a “resort” air that you can create in your home thanks to special devices - ionizers. They often come as part of multifunctional air purification systems.

Ionizer which company to choose

Air ionizers, both autonomous and as part of multifunctional systems, are produced by many companies specializing in the production of household appliances. This diversity can be quite difficult to understand, so experts at expert.bigbadmole.com/en/en/ have identified several brands for you that are worthy of attention.

Number one is, of course, the well-known Panasonic brand. But along with such a sonorous name, the “Chinese” Winia and Air Intelligent Comfort (AIC) show themselves quite well. Very good South Korean technology Maxion. The Italian brand Air Comfort is almost 80 years old, so this technique cannot be bad either. There are "stars" among domestic products. This is a relatively young trademark Atmos (founded in 2003) and PMBM "Energy", which produces in particular bipolar ionizers Hippocrates "Office" IV-2.

The best air ionizers for home and office

We begin our review with universal devices that can clean, ionize and optionally humidify the air in relatively large rooms. These are air washers with Panasonic F-VXD50R-S and Winia AWX-70 ionizers, as well as an air purifier with an ionizer and AIC GH-2156 UV lamp.

Panasonic F-VXD50R-S

Rating 4.9

Multifunctional system of cleaning, moistening, disinfecting and ionization of air. The device has dimensions of 380x620x245 mm, weighs 9.8 kg and implies a floor installation. In normal operation, the F-VXD50R-S is able to serve a room up to 40 square meters. meters, but with long-term operation, it is often necessary to add water, as the tank has a rather modest volume for such a unit - only 2.7 liters. A big plus of the system is that the filters can be used without replacement for 7-10 years.

As part of a set of technologies, this system is more than rich: effective natural humidification of the air, precise determination and instant response to unpleasant odors, suppression of the activity of bacteria by combined filters. As for air ionization, it is presented in the F-VXD50R-S as part of Panasonic's patented Nanoe technology. Includes ionization separate mode of the same name.

Winia AWX-70

Rating 4.8

Air washing of Chinese production, which combines the functions of air purification, humidification and ionization. The unit is made in the floor version, has linear dimensions of 410x420x325 mm and weighs 10 kg. Able to serve the premises up to 50 square meters. meters The volume of the water tank is as much as 9 liters, so that even with intensive and continuous work there is no need to add water frequently. On the other hand, the device requires frequent cleaning - according to numerous user reviews, the rotating drum of the washing part, consisting of many disks, becomes clogged after 2-3 days of work and the unit begins to emit an unpleasant smell.

As for the function of the ionizer, it is not as fully and efficiently implemented in Winia AWX-70 as the Panasonic F-VXD50R-S. Ionizer is unipolar, which means that it should be used very limitedly, and it is advisable not to be indoors when the mode is on. The ionizer itself is designed as a small unit with two short electrodes in the far corner of the apparatus at the air outlet. The distance between the electrodes is as much as 5 cm, that is, the ionization efficiency is not the most “outstanding”.

Prices: 17529 - 29990 rubles.

AIC GH-2156

Rating 4.7

The AIC GH-2156 Portable Air Purifier is manufactured by the young Air Intelligent Comfort company, which is based and based in Italy, but this is where all of its Italian “roots” end. This is just a marketing ploy, and in fact, AIC products are developed and manufactured in China.

The AIC GH-2156 is a compact and lightweight device. Its dimensions are 117x401x190 mm, and weight is only 1.7 kg. The functional is represented by three modes of air exchange, photocatalytic and plasma air purification, and ionization. Filters do not need to be replaced, only in periodic cleaning.

The declared area of ​​the room, which is able to serve the device - 30 square meters. meters But in fact, with such a task AIC GH-2156 copes with great difficulty, and then at the maximum mode, when it is already beginning to produce a grueling noise. But for a small room or a study, its power is enough.

Ranking of the best ultraviolet air ionizers

Now consider the ionizer cleaners, in which, besides the actual ionization itself, an important component is the treatment of air with an ultraviolet lamp radiator. Our experts have identified three interesting models on the market: Maxion LTK-288, Termica AP-300 and Timberk TAP FL500 MF.

Maxion LTK-288

Rating 4.8

The air ionizer Maxion LTK-288 made in South Korea is a device with an unusually stylish design that can, in addition to its main function, also become an excellent element of the high-tech interior. Its dimensions and special proportions - 170x795x228 mm - make it easy to place in the room, even with a shortage of free space. The unit weighs 4.2 kg. Able to serve large rooms up to 80 square meters. meters

The functional is represented by an electrostatic filter for air purification, an ultraviolet lamp and an ionizer, made in the form of two plate-electrodes. The device works almost completely silently, does not require replacement of consumables - only periodic cleaning of the filter. After several months of work, according to the observations of users, the ionizer electrodes will also require periodic wiping, otherwise they will begin to emit a characteristic rattle.

Termica AP-300

Rating 4.8

The Termica AP-300 air purifier manufactured by China is a multifunctional device that combines the tasks of multifactor air purification, ultraviolet disinfection and ionization. Made cleaner in the outdoor version with dimensions 665x260x480 and weighing 12 kg. The declared area of ​​the serviced premises is 50 square meters. meters, and, according to user feedback, this is true.

The task of air purification is a whole set of filters: preliminary, HEPA-filter, carbon and photocatalytic filters. A powerful ultraviolet lamp destroys pathogenic microbes, and an ionizer saturates the air with negatively charged particles. The device is equipped with a dust sensor and other sensors that control its operation in automatic mode. A remote control unit is included with the unit.

Prices: 10490 rub.

Timberk TAP FL500 MF

Rating 4.7

Air purifiers Swedish brand Timberk are manufactured in China. Model Timberk TAP FL500 MF is characterized by an interesting and fairly ergonomic design, a wide range of functions. Dimensions of the device - 335x578x188 mm. Weight - 5.25 kg. The unit is easy to move from place to place thanks to a convenient handle on top.

In this model, several stages of air purification are implemented thanks to a whole set of filters: pre-cleaning, photocatalytic, carbon, HEPA-filter. Automatic operation is controlled by an air pollution sensor. Disinfection is carried out by means of a UV lamp, the ionizer saturates the air with negatively charged particles, also in automatic mode. Fan speed can be adjusted manually.

Against the background of all the listed advantages, the Timberk TAP FL500 MF has a serious design miscalculation. A UV lamp with long-term operation burns through a carbon filter - this is noted by many users.

Prices: 9240 - 10268 rubles.

Rating of the best ionizers for cars

A separate category of ionizers is compact portable devices that are convenient to use in the car. Such an ionizer is very useful on a long trip, healing and cleansing the stale air in the cabin and destroying unpleasant odors. Consider two models: Air Comfort XJ-1000 and Atmos Vent-801.

Air Comfort XJ-1000

Rating 4.6

The Portable Air Comfort Air Purifier XJ-1000 is an example of high-quality Italian climate technology. Air Comfort was founded in Milan back in 1936, and since then has been famous for the quality and reliability of its products.

Air Comfort XJ-1000 weighs only slightly more than 700 g and has a linear dimensions of 205x125x70 mm. It can be installed loosely or fixed on the wall or in any convenient place of the car with a reliable adhesive tape. The kit has a long cable (3.8 m) to the cigarette lighter, so that the cleaner can be powered from the cigarette lighter even when placed in the farthest corner of the largest car.

The stated characteristics claim that the Air Comfort XJ-1000 is able to clean the indoor area from smoke and unpleasant odors in 20 seconds. In fact, everything, of course, takes much longer, and a room of about 5 cu. meters cleaned in about an hour.But the fact is that it is really cleared, that is, the device performs its function at 100%.

The cleaner does not require changing filters. It is enough to clean the intermittent dust filter and the ionizer needle with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

Prices: 1500 rub.

Atmos Vent-801

Rating 4.5

Finally, as part of our review, we will pay attention to domestic technology, especially since it is worth it. The Atmos Vent-801 air purifier in breadth of functionality far exceeds its Italian "competitor", which was discussed above. There is a complete set of filters for various purposes: pre-cleaning, carbon, electrostatic and photocatalytic. There is also an ionizer and even an ultraviolet lamp.

With all the breadth of the functional device dimensions are more than modest - 193x53x121 mm, and the weight is generally minimal - 300 g. The set includes a power adapter for connecting power from the cigarette lighter. The device is made of enough quality materials with a good-quality assembly. With such functionality and quality for such a price, it is quite difficult to find flaws in Atmos Vent-801.

Prices: 3290 - 3390 rubles.

Best Bipolar Ionizer

And completes our review of the device, the nature of which need to say an extra couple of words. All air ionizers can be divided into two groups according to one important attribute - unipolar and bipolar.

Unipolar generates only negatively charged ions, and bipolar - both negative and positive. The thing is that a kind of “mixture” of negatively and positively charged particles prevails in nature, and bipolar ionizers in this sense create a microclimate that is close to the natural one much more correctly. In addition, bipolar ionizers are completely safe for health, while unipolar work cannot be abused.

And so, our experts, after analyzing the market, identified a bipolar ionizer of domestic production, which can be considered the best in its class.

Fanline Hippocrates "Office" IV-2

Rating 4.8

For the first time, the ionizer Hippocrates "Office" IV-2 entered the market in 2000, and for almost 18 years this model has been in great demand, and engineers have been continuously improving it. The device is portable, well suited for use both indoors and in the car.

Hippocrates "Office" IV-2 consists of two modules: the air purification chamber and the ionization chamber. Between them there is a fan, pumping up to 12 cubic meters. meters of air per hour (this is not very much).

The air is cleaned by passing it through a filter cartridge. The cartridge itself is easily disassembled to replace the filter.

In addition to filtering and ionization, in the Hippocrates "Office" IV-2, an ultraviolet diode emitter is provided, which destroys the pathogenic bacteria.

Prices: 3550 - 3650 rubles.

What ionizer to buy

Now let's summarize and determine which ionizer will be the best choice for a particular purpose.

1. For large areas, that is, for an apartment or office, the Panasonic F-VXD50R-S air wash shows best. It has a minus - a small amount of water tank, but it is the most reliable multifunctional unit with a long-term filter service life. Winia AWX-70 and AIC GH-2156 noticeably lose to him in a number of parameters.

2. Of the ultraviolet cleaners, the South Korean "handsome" Maxion LTK-288 stands out. Termica AP-300 is a very good "workhorse", but Maxion is still an example of style and practicality.On the other hand, if there are small children in the house, then Termica AP-300 is better suited, since it has a control lock from children. And the functionality of Termica is much broader. Timberk TAP FL500 MF would be very good if not for the offensive engineering flaw with a UV lamp burning filters.

3. For the car, I really want to praise the Italian Air Comfort XJ-1000, but the domestic Atmos Vent-801 is two heads taller in terms of functionality.

4. And finally, we can recommend only one bipolar ionizer - Fanline Hippocrates “Office” IV-2. There is practically no better combination of quality, reliability, functionality and price on the market.
