Ionizers
Electrostatic ionizers aren't recommended in reviews
The AirSource 3000 (*Est. $700), distributed by Shaklee Corporation, uses ultraviolet light to produce low levels of ozone to reduce odors, as well as an electron generator to "reduce the static charge inside the entire home" so "particles drop from the air and out of your breathing space," according to the manufacturer. The AirSource doesn't have a fan, so it's quiet but also can't pull large amounts of air through it. Furthermore, all those particles dropping out of the air are likely accumulating on furnishings and walls.
The Biotech EdenPURE Area Model (*Est. $230) claims to use four "electronic mechanisms of eliminating pollution that mimic the way it is done by nature's thunderstorm." In short, this means ionization. However, the EdenPURE makes some pretty lofty claims about eliminating all odors and all indoor pollution without a HEPA filter. The manufacturer states that it only uses a small mesh pre-filter that can be cleaned by running water over it. This leads us to think that all those contaminants are accumulating on your furniture and walls, as with other ionizing models. None of the current reviews we find rate the Biotech EdenPURE.
