Ionic Pro Platinum TA740 Charged Ions Air Purifier Tower - Truly Silent Operation High Performing Unique No Filter

Just a quick update -- unit is still running. California is burning again, and the little dude is fighting the good fight, only taking a break for when the filter goes through the dishwasher. We have two of these now btw. -- I'm raising the rating from 4 to 5 stars after having this little dude run in the bedroom for almost 9 months, non-stop. I got used to sleeping with the quiet hum of the fans, and whatever sleep disturbance the minimal noise creates is offset a hundred-fold by better sleep quality because my sinuses are free and my eyes aren't watering. As indicated in the manual, I run the ionic blades through the dishwasher whenever the light comes on. Just the other night, I thought I'd sleep without it running. I woke up multiple times because my nose was stuffed and my throat was scratchy. It never happened to me in the time that I had it running, so it's definitely effective. I'm buying a second one for the other bedroom today. I recommend this unit to anyone. ---- Original review from Nov 2018: I've purchased this air purifier to help improve air quality in the bedroom during NorCal wildfires of 2018. I've had the item for four full days, and running full-time. It definitely works, but of course to cycle more air you'd have to run in full-speed which is louder. I run it on max during the day and switch to silent at night. It is not indeed silent, but significantly quieter than the older air purifier from a different manufacturer that I banished to the other end of the house so I can sleep. With ambient noise level around 17dB (measured by a phone app, so take it with a grain of salt), when I turn on the air purifier, the noise level goes up to 19-20dB measured 50cm / 1.5ft from the device. Far from true silence, but quiet enough that I can actually get some good sleep while it's running. Its fans look like your regular 120mm computer case fans, three of them positioned top to bottom, and the unit sounds kind of like a PC workstation at idle at the lowest setting. I intend to update this review in a few months, after I've had a chance to run it enough to need to clean it. Read more

Can I just say I love this product. The amount of yuck this pulls out of the air is impressive. It is whisper quiet unless on high. Even then it’s not loud. Super easy to clean. I wash the removable filter when it indicates it dirty. Literally wash it with water in the sink maybe 30 seconds. I wash the main collector in my dishwasher per manufactures recommendations. I wash it on low with no detergent. My rinse aid I use has always be vinegar. So bam it’s clean and disinfected. I take a wet microfiber rag and wipe down the unit and it’s good as new. Living in the foothills of California with the pollen & smoke fit the fires the air quality is bad outside. However my house has clean breathable air thanks to this amazing air purifier. Bravo Envion I am a costumer for life. I refer everyone I know to buy this unit. Upfront it hurts the wallet however you buy no replacement filters. So it pays for itself. Most important to me is I’m helping the environment by not having to discard any dirty filters. Read more

We live in a very windy area in Idaho. When the wind is high my husband has a very hard time sleeping because of the positive ions. This machine makes negative ions. After running it a few days I checked the washable filter and it already had a coating of very fine dust. The manufacturer recommends washing it every 8 weeks, but with all the dust in the air here I will probably clean it more often. The silent mode is not exactly silent, but very quiet. I really love the dim button, it turns off the blue light so the bedroom is nice & dark. There are 4 fan speeds, so I feel like I can really clean up the air in a room when I want to. The machine has a very narrow profile, doesn't take up much room in the bedroom. We always deduct 1 star for items made in China, so that is why we gave it 4 stars instead of 5. American companies need to step up and build more stuff here. We are happy to pay to keep American workers employed. Read more

I bought this because I historically had the IonicPros and they were amazing. This one is loud and rattles. It also doesn't pick up like the old one did. You could tell the older models worked really well. The blades would collect dust and so on. This one, I pull out the blades that are supposed to catch dust and noting.....I feel like it's an overly priced, loud fan!! Do not waste your money!! Read more

I haven't tried too many purifiers, but this is easy to maintain and my old one has lasted about 6 years and it's still going. So we put it in the kids room and now we took the new one into our room. They look exactly the same, so that's perfect! This is high quality, easy to use and clean and takes up little room. It's quiet and blows a good amount of air, though it's not going to replace a real fan, but you'll feel a tiny breeze even up to 8 feet away. Did I mention I haven't bought a filter in 6 years? And I hardly ever go to the doctor anymore. And I haven't bought Tylenol Synus in years. This is the way to go. I wish they made a helmet version, then I could stop taking Claritin. Read more

Mine worked well for the first 5 months then one fan gave out. It’s very quiet on the first setting but it gets louder as you go up. Read more
