The manufacturer’s model REMEZair is a modern multifunctional device that combines the most effective technologies in one device – an air purifier, an ionizer and an ozonizer. The traditional HEPA filter traps household contaminants: dust, pollen and other tiny particles of allergens. The photocatalytic filter neutralizes unpleasant odors and harmful volatile compounds such as cigarette smoke and formaldehyde. The ozonator brings the degree of air purification to a sterile state. And the ionizer enriches the air with cations. This is a smart device. A high degree of operating comfort is ensured by convenient manual and remote control via the application. The device compares favorably with its competitors with an air purification system, after which ionization has the best effect.

2. NPF YANTAR Yantar-5A

You look at this ionizer for an apartment and immediately understand – ours! Made in Our Country. But what is interesting is that the company supplies its products to the UK and the USA. The device can produce ions of positive and negative polarity. Now let’s see what the manufacturer offers. First, there is a night silent mode. Secondly, the body is made of arrays of different types of wood. So you can choose according to the design. The choice of wood for the box is not accidental: this way the case is not electrified. A fan is installed inside, which sprays ions around the room. You can configure the device individually, that is, adjust the concentration of particles and switch to unipolar mode. All this is controlled by a remote control. The device is recommended to be placed at a distance of 2-4 meters from the workplace.

3. Timberk TAP FL70 SF

The device is presented in a black and white case with an elegant upward curve and touch controls. The company positions the device as a multi-stage air purifier. That is, in addition to ionization, there are other “gadgets” here. The model has a built-in charcoal and HEPA filter, which, as planned, should collect dust in the room. There is a night mode and a timer to turn off the device. A separate button is responsible for air ionization. That is, the function can be enabled at will. Another thing is that the device was clearly made for slightly different tasks. Ionization is more like a nice bonus here. But even its power is unknown. Neither on the manufacturer’s website, nor in the device to the device, this parameter is specified.

The manufacturer claims that the concentration of this chemical element will be safe for the body, but will help to cope with unpleasant odors in the room.

5. AIC CF8410

Another air purifier for apartments with ionization function. But then again: the documentation does not say a word about the number of produced ions. So if you need a device specifically for ionization, then you should pay attention to other models. But in general, the reviews on the cleaner are good – people are happy with the purchase. The manufacturer claims that the device is able to remove unpleasant odors from the room, such as burning or tobacco, as well as filter the air. Photocatalytic HEPA cleaning and a carbon filter are responsible for the work. There is also an ultraviolet sterilization mode. Control of a cleaner touch.

6. BIOS Ion-Effect

Compact device weighing only 200 grams. Can be worn from home to work or simply moved around the room. Also, a light bulb is built in here, and if necessary, it can be used as a portable lamp. Can be hung on the wall. The instructions say that it is recommended to turn on the device for 4-5 hours a day. Although nothing prevents you from leaving it to work for 24 hours. But the service life of the device is short compared to others – about a year. Although in the reviews there were people who used it for five years and assured that the signature freshness in the air had not diminished. On the other hand, if you don’t like it or the device seems pointless, you can simply not buy a new one.

7. Yamaguchi Oxygen

First of all, I would like to praise the Asian manufacturer for the design and an interesting backlit feature. At the top of this “samurai” there is an LED strip, which is an indicator of indoor air pollution. Lights up red – it means you need to turn on the device to the fullest, and calm blue means, on the contrary, good performance. There is also an intermediate result – green. Here is how the principle of operation of an air purifier with an ionizer function is described on the manufacturer’s website: a fan drives air inside. He is driven through several filters and comes out. As for the operation of an ionizer for an apartment: an electric discharge collects dirt from the apartment under it into a special collector. Please note that the device is massive. Place only on the floor. So think about how it will fit into your interior.

8. Shivaki SHAP-5010B

Despite the Japanese name and the signature of the director from the Land of the Rising Sun, the company is based in the UAE, and the production is Chinese. The device is a heavyweight in our ranking of the best ionizers for an apartment. Will pull 10,5 kg. Such an extra time you will not drag. But he is thin. The weight is justified by the package. Several stages of air purification. There is less dust in the apartment. There is a work timer. The device operates quietly. There is also an automatic mode, which itself determines the degree of air pollution. People are even doing tests. For example, they set fire to an incense stick, the device immediately “lights up” and begins to purify the air. But as for ionization, no performance characteristics were again prescribed in the device. Although users write that a specific smell of freshness in the apartment is beginning to be present.

The device is not enough for the whole apartment, but it is quite enough for the average room. The air ionizer is compact and weighs one and a half kilos, so you can easily move it to another room. Here, as in other products, there are filters and a UV lamp. Only five stages of air purification. It is convenient that the device can combine modes: enable one and disable the other.

How to choose an air ionizer for an apartment

It is believed that the ionization procedure helps to strengthen the immune system, healthy sleep and improve overall well-being. This is supposedly achieved through air disinfection. However, there is no reliable scientific data that would unequivocally confirm the benefits or harms of the device. For advice, Healthy Food Near Me turned to Head of the Department of Emergency and Emergency Care, General Practitioner Alexander Dolenko. The interlocutor noted that he is not a serious specialist in ionizers, but he was able to outline the general picture in this area.

A question of efficiency

— There is no data to confirm that air ionizers actually reduce the likelihood of contracting coronavirus or reduce the likelihood of its transmission if such a patient is at home. There are no recommendations from the World Health Organization on the need for their use. In some sources, there are even articles with the opposite opinion that ionizers, on the contrary, “attract” bacteria and viruses during operation. These articles recommend turning these appliances on when there are no people in the house and cleaning them regularly. I cannot include these devices in the list of real ways to reduce the likelihood of ARVI. I consider regular wet cleaning, disinfection, ventilation, and the use of standard hygiene rules to be a more effective way to prevent diseases, moreover, those recommended by WHO,” said Alexander Dolenko.

Safety of use

In addition, if we ignore the issue of efficiency, we can give a few more tips, like tips when buying ionizers for an apartment. First, carefully study the instructions. For example, if the device has access to the “motor” (and there are such devices even in our rating), then you should not stick your fingers there. He’s energized, he’ll be electrocuted. For a healthy person, this does not carry a mortal danger, but there is little pleasant in such a thing.

Secondly, the instructions must indicate the minimum distance from the walls, which must be observed not only for the effectiveness of the device, but also for safety purposes.
