What does the ionizer do?

Google "Definition ionizer", it applies a static charge to the air to allow small particles to become larger particle that can be trapped by an air filer. Does it work on this unit? I don't know.

Yes. Just press & hold the ionizer button for a few seconds and it will shut off. We leave the ionizer off all the time.

I use mine in the bedrooms, turn the ceiling fans on and turn the ionizer/ozonator on and shut the door for a couple of hours. After that, I open the doors and keep the ceiling fans on for awhile....I use the ionizer/ozonator in the middle of the house when we are gone (put it on high) and when we get home, I keep the ceiling fans on for awhile. I keep the ionizer on medium speed frequently...I don't think anyone needs to be afraid.....It works wonderfully and this is the best bargain I have found in a long time...

Thank you all for your responses. Sounds like my Bionaire unit will be good enough. I also have a separate Ionizer that has collection blades - it does its job, clean it with rubbing alc and black gunk gets on the paper towel.

Does the smoke wreak through the floor? I would run the ozonator at overnight and then turn it off and just run the ionizer all of the time to circulate the air. The first Living Fresh Ionizer I purchased was when I lived in Indiana and had a massage therapy business and did a lot of essential oils and pain creams; worked wonderful on the odor as I had many clients with allergies. The last Ionizer (this one), I purchased because I had renters that had 2 dogs I didn't know about and pretty much ruined the cement floor in the sunroom. The stench was awful so after scrubbing the sunroom floor about 5 times, I purchased the ionizer and it took care of it beautifully!! The only other thing I can say is that the ozonator is pretty strong on the lowest setting so you would have to adjust accordingly but I think it would work for you. Maybe you could talk to the person who has the bar below you and suggest he purchase one to help both of you....you surely can't beat the price and its worth a try....If something happens to the one I have, I will buy another!! hope this helps

It will filter just wont use the ionizer to make the dust particles stick together and clean at its most efficient capacity.

It didn't work for me as it has a very strong odour of it's own that really bothered me. I believe you can get a portable ionizer, that's what I would try and run it in my cabin.

I bought the ionizer from the company and I use towels to sit on and one the floor so the surface doesn't really get wet. I did clean it with disinfected wipes once but not sure if it's good for the wood in the long run.

Oh yes, the ionizer can be shut off by turning off the UV light with one push of a button.

It does not. It does not have an ioniser. Novita purifiers do. Honeywell works primarily through its true hepa filter. Their carbon filter is also one of the best I've seen.

You can turn the ionizers off. The big filters are what makes this legit. I'm not sure about the smell good of the air, as I use it for alergies and small particulates in the air which it works well on. If you are going to try one of these pro and expensive filters in a small room, I'd recommend it. I bought a 2nd one for my office... I run it on med 2 out of 4, blowing a gentle clean breeze on me a few feet from my desk. I also sleep with one a few feet from my bed.

I am.not sure of the exact info, but we set it to 68 and let it run, we hardly notice an increase in the electric bill, during the warmest months an increase of about $10 is avg. I dont not think it has an air ionizer. Hope this helps

No, I am reasonably certain it does not have an ionizer, just the carbon and hepa filters.

Yes, you can turn the ionizer off if you choose. I use the ionizer so don't know how it works without it.

It just says "electronic Ionizer". I have asthma so don't use that feature to be on the safe side.

It's an air electricity tester. Hold it close to the ionizer, with out touching and the blub glows.

Yes, there is a button that toggles it on and off. I rarely use the ionizer.
