The Best Ionic Air Purifier

So, what is the best ionic air purifier? First off, when you live with rug covered floors, dust is your biggest enemy. You don't really notice it in the air unless you see it from the right (or wrong) angle in direct sunlight. Some rug material is better than others as far as dust, yet air contamination is a major concern everywhere. Add to that our body becoming more vulnerable to dust and air pollution as we age and we really should consider a good air cleaner as a common home appliance these days.

How does an ionic air purifier work? The air is actually deionized as particles in it are attracted to an electrode in an effect similar to static electricity. The ions are de-ionized by seeking grounded conductors. To increase the efficiency of this process, some commercial products offer such surfaces inside the device. Ionic air purifiers are perfect representatives of such devices.

From my experience, Panasonic makes the best ionic air purifiers. They make a number of various models that presently include some ionic air purifiers. HEPA Air Purifier, F-P10HU1 Air Purifier and F-P10HU2 Air Purifier are some of the model names that Panasonic currently has on the market. The price of these, as well as their substitute filters, will all depend on which model you buy. On average, Panasonic air purifiers can be purchased for around $200 to $300.  

Despite that Panasonic has a number of different air purifiers you will find that most of their air purifiers have the same characteristics; features that you are sure to benefit from. One of those features are HEPA filters. As you saw above, one of the Panasonic air purifiers specifically mentioned HEPA in its name. 

Panasonic ionic air purifiers come prepared with the latest technology and protects you from all kinds of contaminants. In addition to HEPA filters, you will find that many of their air purifiers have the latest controls and sensors. One of those sensors is a micro dirt sensor that allows the air purifier and its fans to adapt to the level of dirt in the air.  This means, that the air purifier may reduce its strength or increase it, depending on the air quality in the room it is being used. 

If you or a person in your home is a cigarette tobacco user, you will also be able to benefit from an air purifier. This is because most air purifiers not only work to clean up the air, but they also work to clean up the smell of the room that they are put in. This is done with a special deodorizing filter. The deodorizing filter will remove a number of smells, which includes the smells related with cigarette smoke.

As mentioned above, you will need to purchase substitution filters for your air purifier. What is nice about virtually any Panasonic air purifier is that they only need to have their filters changed every other couple of years. According to Panasonic each air purifier filter should last around three years. This is really good, especially when compared to most of the other air purifiers. It is not uncommon for other air purifiers to need replacement filters every other month or at least once a year. This means that you may be saving yourself a nice amount of money in the long run.

Here is a list of some general pros and cons that are applicable to most of Panasonics models.

Pros:

- Very silent in the low flux mode.

- Lights may be turned off.

- Cheap air filter replacements available on Amazon.

- Auto mode that senses the air quality.

Cons:

- Sucks air on the frontside and releases it on the back.

We have used 3 different types of air cleaners and ionic purifiers are the best. Not only do they do the job of cleaning the air of dust and pollen, but most of them do it quietly.
