Because ionisers emit ozone. Ozone can be good for the air, but in actuality, ozone emissions can be extremely harmful to us. I've done TONS of research on ionic filters and what i've found shocked me! Repeated exposure to ion emissions can cause a myriad of health problems, including but not limited to; Resperitory problems as well as eye and nose irritation.

I think there may be a difference between an ionizer and an ozone generator. I'm looking at the same EPA page as you, compare "electronic air cleaners" to "ozone generators": http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/airclean.html#What%20Types

Well, As soon as I pressed the button up, it lit up pretty quick and you could hear the Zap, and also see the spark between the two prongs, so Im assuming this will really hurt!

I'm not sure but I can breath noticeably better when the unit is on. We bought one for the living room and one for the bedroom. We just put them on level 2 speed. It has an auto mode but when its just on level 1 the air movement doesn't seem like it's very substantial but when you put your hand over the "blower" it does feel like a fair amount of air coming thru. But on speed 2 the increased air movement drowns out the sound the ionizer makes sometimes. You can turn off that option BTW by holding the power button down for 3 seconds. Overall we are pleased with the unit and would buy it again. I'm not sure but I can breath noticeably better when the unit is on. We bought one for the living room and one for the bedroom.

Don't know about the ionizer, bought it for a friend and she loves the unit.

THANK YOU! I am so excited to see this. I bought it a year ago, but turned it off month ago because I hated the smell it produced. I wondered if the smell was ozone, but it's not supposed to produce ozone. However, a friend said that the ionization (the PlasmaWave part) turns oxygen into ozone, so...it does produce ozone. Glad to know that I can turn off the PlasmaWave. I'm going to clean it out and start it up again and see if it still produces that unpleasant smell.

Yes, the initial setting appears to be for the Ionizer as well as the "oscillating" (back and forth) to be "Off" - meaning you would have to "turn it on" first.

That sucks. When mine is on it's set to Cool/Low/62/No Ion. It still doesn't actually cool particularly well (as my review says), but it does stay on indefinitely. You could try "power cycling" it. Unplug for 10 minutes or so (to make certain the compressor is reset) then try again. Works for routers, lol. Also consider maybe its an electrical issue. Try plugging in to a different circuit or something? Or is something bouncing air back into it that could be causing it to get wrong air temps? I'm just throwing out ideas here. :)

There is a silence low & high fan speed a button to turn ionizer on or off.

Yes, you can turn off the ionizer. In fact, I don't use it. The air winds up smelling like clean air, not like some awful air freshener spray. I use the heavy-duty charcoal filters, which are especially good at removing smoke and odors. They cost more, but I think they are worth the price for people who are sensitive or allergic.

It is not an ionizer, but it is a powerful fan. I never have to use anything but the lowest speed. See Lasko 2505 36-Inch Remote Control Tower Fan with Ionizer, Black

I don't know the answer to your question. However, I have been using this purifier with great success for about 3 months. I don't use the ionizer though.

I am assuming you are joking. In case you are serious, when it is in the Ionic Breeze Machine just don't set close to it or stare/look at the bulb when it is on. Other wise in my opinion not seriously dangerous for short periods of time like walking by it in a room etc.

This is normal. You should not hear any sound at all when just the ionizer is on, only when you turn the actual fan on.

It shuts off when it reaches its desired temperature. It could possibly turn off if it starts to overheat. But, that has never happened to mine that I know of. Sorry, but I am not sure about the ionizer question. I am very happy with mine.

Apparently you did not bother to read the comment I posted. The unit I got caught on fire when it was plugged in. As in call the fire department smoke. It was returned. Good luck.

Hi Michael: That is not normal. I'd see about getting a replacement. Mine ignites very quickly and well.
