Turbo (TA550) Ionic Air Purifier Tower for Home, Quiet Ionic Filterless Design, Covers Up to 500 Sq. Ft., Removes Odors, Smoke, Dust, and Allergens – Black

Dad had purchased one and liked it so much that he bought one for me and kept one in his lake cabin as well as his apartment in town. When I first got it I rolled my eyes thinking that he had fallen for another gimmick. But I could not have been more wrong. I plugged it in and it was silent. I thought it wasn't even working. But I was wrong. The next time I walked into that basement room, there was something noticeably different. The air smelled great. Not stuffy. It smelled like the air after a rainfall! A few weeks later I noticed a slight buzzing sound coming from the Ionicbreeze and investigated, read the instructions, cleaned it accordingly; wiping away the black residue it had collected on it's blades with a damp paper towel and drying them. I also cleaned the wire by sliding the bar up and down a few times. The whole process took a minute or two. Then I turned it over and gently shook it a little and a few tiny dust particles fell from the vents. I repositioned the blades and viola. No purchasing of filters, no struggling, no mess. This machine is an electric miracle! It cleaned the air without even roping me into an eternal cycle of buying more filters! Jump ahead 5 years... I had let a friend borrow my ionic breeze for a few days... and this person moved to another town with it. I asked for it back, but realized that she needed it more than I did (enough said). When I tried to buy another, Sharper Image no longer existed but another company had a similar product. I bought one. Evion had the same technology and although the Ionicbreeze worked faster, the Evion product works just fine with the same effect, and I don't have to clean it as ofter. I have purchased one for each of my grown children who have families of their own. They in turn have purchased more for different areas of their home. We have one on every floor of our home. We never get a musty smell, we stay healthy, and we love this product. Do not waste money on filters. They don't come close to making the difference that the Ionized air does. Give it time to work... You will love it too.

The Lonic Pro Turbo Air Purifier Tower is fantastic. It is really super quiet and takes a lot of dust out of the room. I would highly recommend it

I love this thing.. I have had several of these things.. They do wear out, but takes a long time.. I have two of them now.. They work great.. Having said that, the biggest complaint I have heard is that they make noise, they shut off when they should not, etc.. I went through all that years ago.. So I understand how unhappy people can be with this product.. So, why do I like mine so much when other people almost hate theirs???? I learned how to clean them.. The people who sell them do not give you instructions for the proper cleaning of these units.. The secret is rubbing alcohol. I am not sure the instructions I wrote for cleaning this thing is still on Amazon or not, but if not, here is a short version. When the red light comes on, or the machine starts making the cracking zapping noise, unplug it. Take the blades out, grab a few paper towels and a bottle of plain ole rubbing alcohol.. Soak the paper towel in alcohol, or at least put a lot on it so that it is very wet, then wipe the blades down.. Lots of crap will come off the blades.. Keep doing this until the blades are clean. Then wipe with dry towels.. Then, let the blades sit for a half hour or so and dry out.. You want them really dry... Second step is to clean the wire in the back of the unit.. It is hard to get to.. I advise people to wrap a paper towel around a toothbrush handle, or similar, attach with a rubber band, get the towel very wet with alcohol, then wipe the wire up and down with the wet towel.. Then let this dry for one half hour, or until you are sure it is dry.. REASSEMBLE and turn it on.. It should work like a charm. If it does not, then you did not get it clean.. Repeat the process until it is working properly.. Went it is working as it should, it does a great job of pulling dirty stuff out of the air.. I mean a lot of dirty stuff..... Ok, get one, keep it clean, and be happy.. Better yet, get more than one!

9 Month Update - Upgrade 4 Stars This is a 3 star product with 5 star customer service. After about four months from purchase my original Envion stopped working all together. The light would go on but the collection grid would collect nothing at all (not even a single mote of dust.) I called Envion customer service and they sent me a replacement. It seems I just got a dud the first time because the new filter works pretty well (still not as good as a Sharper Image though.) It's great to find a company that stands behind their product and made things right! 3 Month Update - Downgrade 2 Stars Don't expect this to work as well as a Sharper Image Ionic Breeze. The Envion removes about 80% less dust than the SI did between cleanings. Overall very disappointed. I bought this to replace a Sharper Image Ionic Breeze Quadra. Works under same concept (i.e. ionizing wires and a washable collection grid). The Envion is just as quiet and creates the same clean smell but doesn't seem to pull as much junk out of the air. I clean the collection grid weekly and the SI would have triple the amount of dust and junk on it than the Envion does. The collection grid on the Envion is several inches shorter than the SI so maybe that's why? The pull mechanism on the Envion to clean the ionizing wires is a nice upgrade though. This beats having to turn the unit upside down and shake (like the old SI.) All said, it works okay and it's about 1/3 the cost of the old SI product which is nice.

Works great ! I highly recommend this as it deep cleans the air in the house .
