An air ionizer is not as useless as it might seem. Exposure to negative ions reduces symptoms of depression by increasing serotonin levels. In fact, this is the device that helps you be happier. Its action in winter will be especially relevant.when heating, stuffiness, fluorescent lighting eat up all the negative ions in the air.
Before purchasing, evaluate what room the device is intended for. Any model must be equipped with a complete package of documentation and certificates. Not the last question - functionality, including humidification, disinfection, air purification.
An air ionizer for an apartment is always designed for a certain area. If you ignore this point, the technique will produce more or less ions than required.
When choosing, you should rely on the following parameters:
First of all, it is affected by sound. Models equipped with fans are capable of generating some noise levels. But, at the same time, the smell of ozone is not felt in the room. Those systems that operate on the ionic wind principle are considered the quietest, but emit more ions.
The second important point is the cleaning method. Ionizers with a HEPA filter require cleaning once a month... A complete filter replacement is required approximately every six months. Analogues with electrostatic filters can be washed under running water. After rinsing, wiping with a soft cloth is sufficient.
An air humidifier with an ionizer can optimize humidity and saturate the air with negatively charged ions. The choice of such equipment is very wide, ranging from simple state employees to entire climatic complexes. Look for cool models from Sharp. Note that a humidified device requires water level control.
The air purifier-ionizer saturates the space with air ions, removes odors, dust, allergens. This has a good effect on the overall improvement of the indoor microclimate, and the person gets the maximum oxygen saturation of the blood.
It is better to choose those models that are equipped with a clogging indicator filtera, ion wind technology. The safety of the gadget must be confirmed by standards and certificates. Quite good copies are produced under the Ecology brand.
Such models can operate in two modes: ozonation and ionization. This brings the user a lot of such amenities as air disinfection, elimination of unpleasant odors, toxic substances, tobacco smoke. The dust will not bother either - it will settle on a special filter. Ozone will decompose all harmful volatiles, viruses and bacteria... In general, the ionizer-ozonizer is useful for those who are extremely scrupulous about the quality of air in the house.
The Japanese came up with the unique Plasmacluster air purification and ionization technology. Simply put, allergens, viruses, bacteria, mold fungi and all other evil spirits in the air are deactivated "-" and "+" charged ions. In addition, the technique maintains the ideal natural balance of ions. The "ion rain" mode additionally connects humidification, which works to get rid of household dust, static electricity, and unpleasant odors.
The principle of operation of the ionizer is traditional - there is cold evaporation... The air is not oversaturated with moisture, no precipitation remains on plants and furniture. The equipment is automatically adjusted to work using a system of sensors (humidity, temperature, odor, dust). All information is displayed by a color indicator. Price - RUB 31.2
Pros:
When used correctly the product does not bear any drawbacks.
Another climatic complex from the cunning Japanese is designed for a more modest area of \u200b\u200b38 square meters. It is a high quality air purifier with an advanced ionization and filtration system.... Additionally, the device humidifies in accordance with the "air washing" principle.
There are as many as four filters in the system. Pre-filter takes care of rough cleaning (large dust particles, hair), Hepa - gives fine cleaning (retains everything else), aroma - removes tobacco smoke, allergens, exhaust gases and other volatile odors. And, finally, water - “washes” the air, purifying and humidifying it.
Bipolar air ionizer costs from 34 tr.
Pros:
No cons were found.
This appliance has a nice cylindrical shape and provides three-stage air purification... The first to operate is the PRE-carbon pre-filter. It traps the largest particles of dust and dirt. Next comes fine cleaning with a Hepa filter, which removes the smallest bacteria and allergens. Air ionisation is started last.
This comprehensive cleaning removes allergens, dust, pollen, viruses and bacteria from the air. The device removes all contaminants with a size of 0.3 microns... The performance is small, only 48 cubic meters per hour, but this is quite enough for a small room. It is possible to work from a USB port and a standard power supply. Ionizer can be used for flavoring... To do this, essential oils are added to the aroma capsule and the air is filled with this smell. Price - from 2.5 tr.
Pros:
Minuses:
Compared to the Japanese, this the device looks somewhat clumsy... It is formed on the basis of two parts: cassette and case, but this does not prejudice functionality. An electronic system works in this ideal budget employee, it will tell you when you need to flush the cassette by flashing the indicator and turning it off.
The work of the technique is based on the principle of ionic wind... The air is pumped through the cassette and ionized, enriched with ozone. The ozone concentration is below the maximum permissible standards, but this is enough to eliminate mold, fungi, microbes, bacteria, and unpleasant odors. Ionization meets all the requirements of sanitary and hygienic standards. Price - from 3 tr.
Pros:
Minuses:
This is an improved model with a new control unit. The ionizer provides 4 operating modes, the difference between them is only in the intervals between activity and rest. This will help to improve the efficiency of work in rooms of different sizes. A system for monitoring the condition of the cassette is also presented, it will prompt that the air cleaner needs cleaning.
Structurally, the ionizer consists of two parts. This is the case itself and the cassette... Everything is very simple and convenient, there is an indication of operating modes, a power button, a forced mode indication and a key to activate it. As in the previous case, the principle of "ionic" wind works here. All harmful particles are deposited on the cassette. The air is purified, saturated with ozone, and ionized. Price - from 3.6 tr.
Pros:
This model has no downsides.
This model combines ease of maintenance and excellent turbo power... The manufacturer did not rack his brains over the design and made the ionizer from two parts: a body and a cassette. The model is installed in an upright position only... Here the familiar principle of "ionic" wind is activated.
It is quite effective and works for purity, ozonation and air ionization. With this thing, the room will be cleared of mold, germs, allergens, viruses and unpleasant odors. The cassette condition is monitored by an electronic system, it will tell you when it's time to clean.
If we talk about functionality, the model has five modes of operation. They differ in terms of work and rest periods. In addition, the fan speed can be adjusted. This is believed to increase the ionization efficiency in rooms of different sizes. Price - from 4.4 tr.
Pros:
Minuses:
The manufacturer offers a device with a patented air purification and humidification system. You can safely purchase this item in premises up to 50 sq.m. All management processes are automated. Essentially, the humidifier is controlled by an intelligent system.
The technique itself will let you know when cleaning and water topping up is required. If there is little water in the tank, it will turn off automatically. A plus, the machine is able to automatically select the optimal work intensity by assessing the level of humidity in the room.
The model is very well executed in a constructive sense. I love the removable water tank as it is much easier to rinse it out. The humidifier does not require any consumables or replacement filters. It is safe for children, animals and works very quietly even at night. A high work result is ensured by the technology of natural air flushing. There are two modes of operation, one of which is night. Price - 23 tr.
Pros:
There are no downsides.
The Japanese also offer a very interesting air wash. This is a technique for complex cleaning in areas up to 40 squares... The main feature is the Nanoe technology. This is a unique development of the brand that deodorizes, gives freshness and cleanliness in the room, removes viruses, bacteria, allergens.
There is an eco-friendly mode of operation, that is, the model will be very economical to operate. The device will start up only when it is really needed. Thanks to the successful design of the sink, it effectively draws in air, even at a distance of 30 cm from the floor, that is, where children usually play. Price - from 20 tr.
Pros:
Minuses:
This is a very compact, but no less effective device.... It ionizes, ozonizes the air, cleans it of impurities, microbes, odors - in general, a complete set. As a bonus, you can ozonize water, for which nozzles-diffusers and pipes-air ducts are included (you can swim in it, you can drink it).
This device is distinguished by the simplest use, there is a timer and a built-in indicator. You can skip the operating time and turn off the equipment manually. It is worth noting a good performance - up to 200 mg of ozone per hour. Price - from 4.4 tr.
Pros:
Minuses:
This is perhaps the most compact sample of our rating. The model looks very simple and is set on push-button control... If you turn on the "green" mode, dust will collect on the electrostatic filter. Plus in this mode micro doses of ozone destroy bacteria, viruses, volatile substances.
If the air in the room is very polluted and oversaturated with strong odors, or if someone has a colder, the red mode will come in handy. For a thorough cleaning, you need to close all windows and doors and leave for 2-3 hours, after which you need to wait another half hour for the ozone to be converted into oxygen. Price - from 2.4 tr
Pros:
There are no downsides.
An overview of ionizers and help in choosing them is presented in the video:
The life of a modern metropolis has its advantages and disadvantages, and one of the most significant disadvantages is serious air pollution. And if someone thinks that it is worth closing the window, then you can fence yourself off from the poisonous fumes of asphalt roads and exhaust gases, carbon dioxide emissions from industrial enterprises and the smell of burning landfills, then they are deeply mistaken. "Fresh" air comes to us from the ventilation system, air conditioners and ajar doors to the front door.
The air quality in the dwelling itself is not much better: the air in most apartments is filled with the smells of the kitchen (not always its own), fumes from finishing materials, furniture, and dust. All this does not add to our health and longevity, so many began to pay attention to specialized climate technology, which, according to the developers, purifies the air in apartments. One of the types of such purifiers is the air ozonizer.
A household air ozonizer is a small device for use in a room that modifies oxygen molecules from the air entering it. Moreover, the air leaving the device contains oxygen molecules, which have not two oxygen atoms, but three. This third atom is very unstable and chemically active. When meeting with any other molecule of organic origin, it attaches to it. And since oxygen is the most powerful oxidizing agent in nature, when it attaches to a molecule, it oxidizes it, which leads to its destruction.
There is a lot of talk in the press about the effect of ozone on pathogenic microorganisms. Based on the assumptions of scientists, many manufacturers of this climatic technology confidently declare that ozone destroys all forms of viruses and bacteria. Scientists have not yet fully studied the effect of ozone on pathogenic microbes, but it is assumed that when oxidized, it disrupts metabolic processes at the cellular level, thereby neutralizing the action of microorganisms.
Almost all manufacturers of climatic equipment offer models of household devices that have several functions at once: an ozonizer, an ionizer, and various filter elements. This accordingly improves the quality of the air mixture, but also significantly increases the cost of the device.
Advice:
When choosing an ozonizer, in addition to the above criteria, you should pay attention to the manufacturer of the selected device. Since uncontrolled ozone production is unhealthy, only buy devices from manufacturers you trust.
And finally ...
The ozonizer and its properties to purify the air mixture from harmful impurities and certain types of bacteria is an irreplaceable climatic device, especially for those who suffer from diseases of the respiratory system. Lack of oxygen, has a detrimental effect on the functioning of the brain, and almost all human organs. The ozonizer is not a panacea, but it can still make the air around us a little healthier and cleaner.
Recently, a device such as an ionizer is increasingly common in homes, offices and cars. The device enriches the air with negative ions, making it look like a sea, mountain or forest. Thus, it eliminates the ionic starvation of the body caused by electromagnetic radiation from household appliances, unfavorable environmental conditions. Below is an overview of the best models of ionizers of 2018–2018 with brief characteristics and current prices.
Household ionization devices are constantly being improved. They are uni- and bipolar in type. The former create only negative ions, the latter also create positive ones. The new models have many additional features. They not only saturate the air with ions, but also moisturize, deodorize, aromatize, and disinfect. In fact, many modern ionization devices are climate complexes.
Stylish design makes most ionizers easy to blend into your home
When choosing a good ionizer for an apartment or house, you need to pay attention to the following parameters:
The main task of ionizing humidifiers is to maintain an optimal level of humidity and air purity. The devices installed in the room eliminate the smells of tobacco smoke, mustiness, rot, and promote the breakdown of harmful organic volatile compounds. In bedrooms and children's rooms, the humidity should be in the range - 50–55%. In the rest of the premises, 40-50% will be enough.
