Be very careful of purchasing Ionizing air purifiers. Especially if you have allergies or asthma. There are only 2 that are recommend by Consumer Reports and any other website articles I've read. They are the Friedrich C-90A and Whirlpool 45030{+1}.

I personally would like to try the Friedrich, but I've had problems with my lungs in the past when I've been around other ionizers.

I don't think it's worth it to buy any of these units because they're less expensive. Being exposed to too much ozone is not healthy.
