Customer Reviews:
Good but not clear about safety of ionizer
The filter seems to do a good job. It is not nearly as quiet as some reviewers mention, the sound is quite audible at night, but not irritatingly so.
The ionizer switch lights up just as much as the built-in "night light." Ionizers are known to create ozone (see Consumer Reports.) The manual says not to use the ionizer if you suffer from asthma. Put all these together and it sounds like the ionizer is not completely safe. I recommend not using the ionizer when the room is occupied, or only for short periods of time. If it has been on for an extended period of time, let fresh air into the room before spending some time in the room.

Compact Air Cleaner
This small air cleaner is best for very small areas. It sits atop my cat's litter box located in the bathroom and does an adequate job of controlling litter box odors between changes. It can also be mounted on a wall if you don't have a place for it to sit. Replacement filters are relatively expensive at $42.00. It's fairly quiet on low and has strong airflow. I think it's a too noisy and too small for the average bedroom. Permanent filter doesn't really mean permanent however. Permanent filters do become clogged over time and simply must be replaced. It's a decent little unit for very small areas.......recommended!!!!
