Can you explain the ionizer? Does it have metal collection blade to wipe clean?

Thank you all for your responses. Sounds like my Bionaire unit will be good enough. I also have a separate Ionizer that has collection blades - it does its job, clean it with rubbing alc and black gunk gets on the paper towel.

Inside the unit there is a round spindle that has approximately 1/8" blades attached from top to bottom. I wouldn't describe the blades as being metal. They're more like durable plastic/aluminum blades, so in essence the whole spindle is what gets cleaned.

No it doesn't. It's okay.... I wouldn't order it though if you can get it for a bit cheaper somewhere else. The first one I ordered and the base was broken. I had to pay for the shipping back after getting free shipping to me..... they gave me like $12 shipping credit and the shipping back was over $30.... I wrote about it, but never got a response or any further credit on the shipping. Aside from that, I still wouldn't go out an purchase this fan if I should need a second unit....

No it doesn't. Waste of money, it will not keep you cool on a hot summer day.

From my use so far, there is no access to the ionizer, so I have not needed to wipe anything clean. It is not like the ionizers that are sold solely to clean the air that need to be washed constantly after so many uses. I'm not sure how it works, I just turn it on and it works.

This is what Lasko says about the ionizer function:"The built-in Ionizer in a Lasko fan generates millions of negative ions and disperses them into the air to combat and dispel air pollution. As the negative ion levels grow, the air feels naturally fresher like the great outdoors."I think it's a marketing gimmick to sell fans.

No it's all inside the unit no need for cleaning. It is completely un reachable. Just vacuum off outside of fan.

I clean my EAA Witness Elite in mine. Pick up some of the gun cleaner solution though, I used just water and dawn, it did a great job but the metal started to rust before I could get it all dried off and sprayed down with tri flow. Its the same cleaner that Hornaday sells just a lot less. I clean all kinds of things in it, from cpu heat sinks to handguns

I am.not sure of the exact info, but we set it to 68 and let it run, we hardly notice an increase in the electric bill, during the warmest months an increase of about $10 is avg. I dont not think it has an air ionizer. Hope this helps

I just use the ionizer. The loudness is not on the silent side that's for sure (not sure where the previous reviewer got that from!), but it's also not loud. It's like a "medium". Similar to a regular house fan but a notch higher in sound.

There is a removal part where the blade is located for cleaning. Very messy clean up

The make is Rettin and the model is 7070 Turbo. Each serial number varies as each ionizer has its own number.

What is an ionizer? Read my previous reviews are google your question to include the name of the product.

The ionizer is a optional butten,,,you must turn on. I love mine! I have three now

Yea when you turn off the ignition it turns off. I think the 19,000 hours is the life of the ionizer which is different from the filter that you have to clean every week. Its in the manual where you purchase the ionizer but it cost 40 dollars before shipping or tax

Yes, you can turn the ionizer off if you choose. I use the ionizer so don't know how it works without it.

Mary? I've had my EDV4000 since April 27th, and it has run pretty much 24-7. When you first turn on the ionizer, yes, there is a little but it isn't horrible at all, and I've had mine on the ionizer all of the time it has been running. Also, this feature can be turned off. It's quiet, as well, even on the high speed setting it's quite tolerable. I hope this answer helps you and if you have anymore questions, feel free to write me at Raydeman@aol.com Thanks and have an awesome summer

No this unit works all the time with ionization on. I just use mine when I need to get rid of odors. I don't run it all the time.

Your question is not complete what effect are you referring to. I have been using ionizer for 14 yrs see. Lot of things

Does the smoke wreak through the floor? I would run the ozonator at overnight and then turn it off and just run the ionizer all of the time to circulate the air. The first Living Fresh Ionizer I purchased was when I lived in Indiana and had a massage therapy business and did a lot of essential oils and pain creams; worked wonderful on the odor as I had many clients with allergies. The last Ionizer (this one), I purchased because I had renters that had 2 dogs I didn't know about and pretty much ruined the cement floor in the sunroom. The stench was awful so after scrubbing the sunroom floor about 5 times, I purchased the ionizer and it took care of it beautifully!! The only other thing I can say is that the ozonator is pretty strong on the lowest setting so you would have to adjust accordingly but I think it would work for you. Maybe you could talk to the person who has the bar below you and suggest he purchase one to help both of you....you surely can't beat the price and its worth a try....If something happens to the one I have, I will buy another!! hope this helps

I wipe the blades clean with a wet papertowel then leave out to dry for several hours. This only needs done every few weeks. As far as cleaning the exterior of the unit I use my vacuum (the attachment for cleaning furniture, pet beds, etc) or I will wipe it down with a wet papertowel or cloth. This is the 2nd unit I've had that has the blades that can just be wiped clean. No filters to replace and no mess. I love it!! This one doesnt seem to collect as must dust/pollen as well as the last one I owned but this was much less expensive. I would purchase again.

I do not know off hand, so I looked at the box. The box says the following, "the patented 3-step filtration system captures up to 99% of airborne pollutant 2um and larger. The pre-filter captures larger particles, such as dust and pollen. The primary iFd technology filter electrostatically charges the air and captures microscopic particles. A built in ionizer charges the filtered air with negative ions to help boost cleaning power." So, yes, it does have an ionizer...

Hi Les, No it does not include an Ionizer, it purifies the air by way of using essential oils which have the properties of cleaning and purifying the air.
