Does this purifier have an ionizer?

Ionizers typically have a byproduct of ozone which is harmful to your lungs.

No, it only has a paper filter that you vacuum and reuse. For its size, it does a nice job. No replacement filter needed. I use it in my 10 x 11 home office which always has visitation from our cat and dog. (I am allergic to the cat and it keeps the air filtered). I truly notice the difference.

Yes it does. I tried carbon filters, ionizers and many others. I tested this with the local health department, and ALL of the fluoride was removed. This is the ideal unit to remove this toxic chemical.

From my use so far, there is no access to the ionizer, so I have not needed to wipe anything clean. It is not like the ionizers that are sold solely to clean the air that need to be washed constantly after so many uses. I'm not sure how it works, I just turn it on and it works.

I would say yes. It has an ionizer as well, I'm assuming this does the odor elimination. You don't need to run the ionizer all the time. I'm not quite sure I understand exactly how an ionizer works. In the Hotel industry, they put one in the room to deodorize, so this is why I assume this is it's purpose. I hope I helped answer your question. Best wishes. I have cats, two, and I feel the air in my house is fresher.

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

It does not have an ionizer. It has power button, speed, breeze and reciprocation.

this is a small ionizer Over time you will notice that you are dusting less and the air smells fresher if it is placed in a small room If you are using lower price litter (not. Fresh step) the Oder would linger for quite a while You would get better results from an ionizer also had a fan and filter Personally Ito have these small ionizers in most room in my house

From what I researched, it only generates ozone through the ionizer feature. I don't turn that part on.

The ionizer's in our units produce less ozone than the UL* established limits of 50ppb. However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the ionizer in well ventilated areas with the fan on.

It shuts off when it reaches its desired temperature. It could possibly turn off if it starts to overheat. But, that has never happened to mine that I know of. Sorry, but I am not sure about the ionizer question. I am very happy with mine.

it has photoelectric and a heat detection sensor. It does not mention ionization sensor.

Yes, you can turn off the ionizer. In fact, I don't use it. The air winds up smelling like clean air, not like some awful air freshener spray. I use the heavy-duty charcoal filters, which are especially good at removing smoke and odors. They cost more, but I think they are worth the price for people who are sensitive or allergic.

It has an ionic feature which can be turned on or off. It is a true HEPA air purifier, and it works great.

From what I remember I purchased this one because it did not, I had read on a website that ionizer for asthma is not good. However I will add that I returned this because it began to smell like 'fish'. the Honeywell people said it was due to water getting into the filter. Well I could not figure out what could have happened it was only a week or two so I returned it and decided not to bother with one. My daughter bought one from costco from Blueair that was significantly more money and not ionizer either and she really likes it with no problems.

I don't think so but, you can shut off the ionizer function which, I think shuts off the ozone production. Check the Oreck website for specifics.

I do own some ionizers, and as far as I can tell, this plasma wave technology is very different from an ionizer, but I don't know the physics to explain it. In practice, ionizers make my eyes and nose and throat smart if they are on in a room for more than an hour or so. This unit does not have that effect whatsoever. It just breaks down odors. Otherwise I notice nothing. I have two of them and have been happy with them for years.....

As far as I'm aware, it is impossible to turn off the ionizer. After the first couple of days, I didn't notice any kind of smell, though.
