Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Creating an optimal climate with clean air in a separate room is a whole huge industry, numbering thousands of commodity items: air conditioners, split systems, air washers, purifiers, etc. But there is one function that consumers often underestimate – air ionization. The salubrious air of sea and mountain resorts is so useful, not least because of its saturation with negatively and positively charged ions. So, just such a 'resort' air you can create in your home thanks to special devices – ionizers. They are often included in multifunctional air purification systems.

Ionizer of which company to choose

Air ionizers, both autonomous and as part of multifunctional systems, are produced by many companies specializing in the production of household appliances. This variety can be quite difficult to understand, so experts have identified several brands that are worthy of attention for you.

Number one is, of course, the well-known Panasonic brand. But along with such a resounding name, the 'Chinese' Winia and Air Intel ligent Comfort (AIC) show themselves quite well. Very good South Korean technique Maxion. The Italian brand Air Comfort is almost 80 years old, so this technique cannot be bad either. There are also 'stars' among domestic products. This is a relatively young trade mark Atmos (founded in 2003) and PMBM Energia, which produces bipolar ionizers Hippocrates 'Office' IV-2.

The best air ionizers for home and office

Let's start our review with universal devices capable of purifying, ionizing and optionally humidifying air in relatively large rooms. These are air washers with Panasonic F-VXD50R-S and Winia AWX-70 ionizers, as well as an air purifier with an ionizer and AIC GH-2156 UV lamp.

Panasonic F-VXD50R-S

Rating 4.9

Panasonic F-VXD50R-S

Multifunctional system for cleaning, humidifying, disinfecting and ionizing air. The device has dimensions 380x620x245 mm, weighs 9.8 kg and implies floor installation. In normal operation, the F-VXD50R-S is capable of serving up to 40 sq. meters, but with prolonged operation, you will often have to top up water, since the tank has a rather modest volume for such a unit – only 2.7 liters. A big plus of the system is that the filters can be used without replacement for 7-10 years.

In terms of the set of technologies, this system is more than rich: effective natural air humidification, accurate detection and instant response to unpleasant odors, suppression of bacterial activity with combined filters. As for the ionization of air, it is represented in the F-VXD50R-S within the framework of the Nanoe technology patented by Panasonic. Includes ionization in a separate mode of the same name.

Advantages

  • multifunctional;
  • easy to maintain;
  • natural hydration without ultrasound;
  • durable filters;
  • very quiet in ECO mode;

disadvantages

  • no remote control;
  • no protection from children;
  • small volume of the water tank.

Winia AWX-70

Rating 4.8

Winia AWX-70

Air washer made in China, combining the functions of air purification, humidification and ionization. The unit is made in floor-standing design, has linear dimensions of 410x420x325 mm and weighs 10 kg. Able to serve premises up to 50 sq. meters. The volume of the water tank is as much as 9 liters, so that even with intensive and continuous work, there is no need to frequently top up the water. On the other hand, the device requires frequent cleaning – according to numerous user reviews, the rotating drum of the washing part, consisting of many discs, becomes clogged after 2-3 days of operation and the unit begins to emit an unpleasant odor.

As for the ionizer function, it is not implemented as fully and efficiently in Winia AWX-70 as in Panasonic F-VXD50R-S. The ionizer is unipolar, which means that it needs to be used very limitedly, and it is advisable not to be in the room when the mode is on. The ionizer itself is made in the form of a small block with two short electrodes in the far corner of the apparatus at the air outlet. The distance between the electrodes is as much as 5 cm, which means that the ionization efficiency is not the most 'outstanding'.

Prices: 17529 – 29990 rubles.

Advantages

  • super quiet and 'dark' night mode;
  • suitable for large rooms;
  • capacious water tank;

disadvantages

  • you cannot set the desired humidity manually;
  • no remote control;
  • requires frequent care;
  • inconvenient water change;

AIC GH-2156

Rating 4.7

AIC GH-2156

The portable air purifier AIC GH-2156 is produced by the young company Air Intel ligent Comfort, which was founded and based in Italy, but this is where all its Italian 'roots' end. This is just a marketing ploy, but in fact, AIC products are developed and manufactured in China.

AIC GH-2156 is a compact and lightweight device. Its dimensions are 117x401x190 mm and weighs only 1.7 kg. The functionality is represented by three modes of air exchange, photocatalytic and plasma air purification, ionization. Filters do not need to be replaced, only periodically cleaned.

The declared area of ​​the room that the device can serve is 30 sq. meters. But in fact, the AIC GH-2156 copes with such a task with great difficulty, and even then at the maximum mode, when it already starts to make exhausting noise. But for a small room or study, its power is quite enough.

Advantages

  • compact and lightweight;
  • effective ionization;
  • there is a UV lamp;

disadvantages

  • noisy;
  • low quality materials and workmanship;
  • suitable only for small spaces;

Rating of the best ultraviolet air ionizers

Now let us consider purifiers-ionizers, in which, in addition to the ionization itself, an important component is air treatment with an ultraviolet emitter-lamp. Our experts have identified three interesting models from those on the market: Maxion LTK-288, Termica AP-300 and Timberk TAP FL500 MF.

Maxion LTK-288

Rating 4.8

Maxion LTK-288

The Maxion LTK-288 air ionizer made in South Korea is a device with an unusually stylish design, which, in addition to its main function, can also become an excellent element of a high-tech interior. Its dimensions and special proportions – 170x795x228 mm – allow you to easily place it in a room even with a lack of free space. The unit weighs 4.2 kg. Able to serve large premises up to 80 sq. meters.

The functionality is represented by an electrostatic filter for air purification, an ultraviolet lamp and an ionizer made in the form of two electrode plates. The device works almost completely silently, does not require replacement of consumables – only periodic cleaning of the filter. After a few months of work, according to the observations of users, the ionizer electrodes will also begin to require periodic cleaning, otherwise they will begin to emit a characteristic rattling.

Advantages

  • stylish and ergonomic design;
  • extremely easy to maintain;
  • silent;
  • consumables are not needed;

disadvantages

  • too bright backlight;
  • frequent complaints about the failure of the UV lamp;
  • after several months of work, it starts to produce an 'electric' crack;

Termica AP-300

Rating 4.8

Termica AP-300

The Termica AP-300 air purifier manufactured in China is a multifunctional device that combines the tasks of multifactor air purification, ultraviolet disinfection and ionization. A floor-mounted cleaner with dimensions 665x260x480 and a weight of 12 kg was made. The declared area of ​​the serviced premises is 50 sq. meters, and, according to user reviews, this is true.

A whole set of filters serves the purpose of air purification: pre-filter, HEPA filter, carbon and photocatalytic filters. A powerful ultraviolet lamp destroys pathogenic microbes, and an ionizer saturates the air with negatively charged particles. The device is equipped with a dust sensor and other sensors that automatically control its operation. The unit comes with a remote control.

Automatic operation is controlled by an air pollution sensor. Disinfection is carried out by means of a UV lamp, the ionizer saturates the air with negatively charged particles also in automatic mode. The fan speed can be adjusted manually.

Against the background of all the listed advantages, Timberk TAP FL500 MF has a serious design error. The UV lamp burns through the carbon filter during long-term operation – this is noted by many users.

Prices: 9240 – 10268 rubles.

Advantages

  • easy filter replacement;
  • touch control;
  • quiet work;

disadvantages

  • shortage of consumables;
  • some users report that the UV lamp burns through the carbon filter;
  • no remote control;
  • noisy;

Rating of the best ionizers for cars

A separate category of ionizers are compact portable devices that are convenient to use in a car. Such an ionizer is very useful on a long trip, healing and purifying stale air in the cabin and destroying unpleasant odors. Consider two models: Air Comfort XJ-1000 and Atmos Vent-801.

Air Comfort XJ-1000

Rating 4.6

Air Comfort XJ-1000

Portable air purifier Air Comfort XJ-1000 is an example of high-quality Italian climatic technology. Air Comfort was founded in Milan back in 1936 and since then has been renowned for the quality and reliability of its products.

Air Comfort XJ-1000 weighs just over 700 g and has a linear dimension of 205x125x70 mm. It can be installed freely or fixed on the wall or in any convenient place of the car using reliable adhesive tape. The kit includes a long cable (3.8m) to the cigarette lighter so that the purifier can be powered from the cigarette lighter even when placed in the farthest corner of the largest car.

The declared characteristics claim that the Air Comfort XJ-1000 is able to clear an enclosed space from smoke and unpleasant odors in 20 seconds. In fact, everything, of course, takes much longer, and a room with a volume of about 5 cubic meters. meters are cleaned in about an hour. But the fact is that it is really cleaned, that is, the device performs its function 100%.

The purifier does not require changing filters. It is enough to periodically clean the dust filter and the ionizer needle with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

Prices: 1500 rub.

Advantages

  • does not require replacement filters;
  • silent;
  • affordable price;

disadvantages

  • no display;
  • the plates are difficult to clean.

Atmos Vent-801

Rating 4.5

Atmos Vent-801

Finally, as part of our review, we will pay attention to domestic technology, especially since it is worth it. The Atmos Vent-801 air purifier in terms of functionality significantly surpasses its Italian 'competitor', which was discussed above. There is a full range of filters for different purposes: pre-cleaning, carbon, electrostatic and photocatalytic. There is also an ionizer and even an ultraviolet lamp.

With all the breadth of functionality, the dimensions of the device are more than modest – 193x53x121 mm, and the weight is generally minimal – 300 g. The set includes a power adapter for connecting power from a cigarette lighter. The device is made of sufficiently high quality materials with good assembly. With such functionality and quality for such a price, it is rather difficult to find flaws in Atmos Vent-801.

Prices: 3290 – 3390 rubles.

Advantages

  • simple control;
  • high power with small dimensions;
  • fast air cleaning;

disadvantages

  • easily soiled case;
  • the first few days of operation may give off a 'fresh' plastic smell.

Best Bipolar Ionizer

And the device concludes our review, about the nature of the action of which it is necessary to say an additional couple of words. All air ionizers can be conditionally divided into two groups according to one important feature – unipolar and bipolar.

Unipolar ones generate only negatively charged ions, while bipolar ones generate both negative and positive ones. The thing is that a certain 'mixture' of negatively and positively charged particles predominates in nature, and bipolar ionizers in this sense create a microclimate close to natural much more correctly. In addition, bipolar ionizers are completely safe for health, while the work of unipolar ionizers should not be abused.

And so, our experts, having analyzed the market, have identified a bipolar ionizer of domestic production, which can be considered the best in its class.

Fanline Hippocrates 'Office' IV-2

Rating 4.8

Fanline Hippocrates 'Office' IV-2

For the first time the ionizer Hippocrates 'Office' IV-2 entered the market in 2000, and for almost 18 years this model has been in great demand, and engineers are constantly improving it. The device is portable, well suited for use both indoors and in the car.

Hippocrates 'Office' IV-2 consists of two modules: an air purification chamber and an ionization chamber. A fan is installed between them, pumping up to 12 cu. meters of air per hour (this is not very much).

Air is purified by passing it through a cartridge with filter material. The cartridge itself is easily disassembled to replace the filter.

In addition to filtration and ionization, an ultraviolet diode emitter is provided in the Hippocrates 'Office' IV-2, which destroys pathogenic bacteria.

Prices: 3550 – 3650 rubles.

Advantages

  • ease of use;
  • bipolar and unipolar ionization modes;
  • ease of disassembly for filter replacement and cleaning;

disadvantages

  • small and weak fan.

Which ionizer to buy

Now let's summarize and determine which ionizer will be the best choice for a particular purpose.

  1. For large areas, that is, for an apartment or office, the Panasonic F-VXD50R-S air sink shows itself best. It has a drawback – a small volume of the water tank, but on the other hand it is a reliable multifunctional unit with a long-term filter service life. Winia AWX-70 and AIC GH-2156 are noticeably inferior to him in a number of parameters.
  2. South Korean 'handsome' Maxion LTK-288 stands out from the ultraviolet purifiers. The Termica AP-300 is a very solid workhorse, but the Maxion is still an example of style and practicality. On the other hand, if there are small children in the house, then Termica AP-300 is still better suited, since it has a child control lock. And the functionality of Termica is much wider. Timberk TAP FL500 MF would be very nice if not for an offensive engineering flaw with a UV lamp burning filters.
  3. For the car, I really want to praise the Italian Air Comfort XJ-1000, but the domestic Atmos Vent-801 is two heads higher in terms of functionality.
  4. And finally, we can recommend only one bipolar ionizer – Fanline Hippocrates 'Office' IV-2. There is practically no better combination of quality, reliability, functionality and price on the market now.
