Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm returning it since I've given it a week and it has made any impact on air quality at all, in my opinion. I live in Manhattan and am on a lower floor of an apartment building. I get a lot of black residue that manages to get in even when my windows are closed -- this was always picked up by my other air cleaners. In a nutshell, it is extremely easy to see/smell/experience when an air cleaning product is working in my apartment.
Someone broke one of two air cleaners that I owned and I was getting this as a replacement. At the end of this week's run of using the LightAir IonFlow 50C, I moved my other remaining air purifier back into my room and could get results I was used to. The thing is, I need two -- one for the bedroom and one for the living room/dining room area, so I am back to searching.
Almost none of the pictures you see for this product on Amazon for this product match what it looks like; it wasn't a big deal since one of them did actually match -- the rest are pictures of another product by the same company.
Some pros: it was quite easy to set up. I had it up and going within 10 minutes -- most of that time was spent ensuring I met the placement criteria.
Cons:
again, I didn't see any effect at all.
this air cleaner has to be at least three feet from any wall, at least two feet from the ceiling and, ideally, should be even farther away from electronics (I didn't pay too much attention to this measurement since it wasn't relevant in my bedroom).
not exactly a "con," per se, more of a heads up, they mention that the electrical shock you get from touching the cleaner is extremely mild. It was really jarring for me to touch it. Not a deal-breaker, especially since I just had to unplug it to be able to touch the actual body of the appliance.

LightAir IonFlow 50 Sky Air PurifierWith its attractive, award-winning design, this air purifier delivers ideal results for people suffering from asthma, allergies, and respiratory problems, as well as those who simply care about the air quality of their home environment. The ceiling-mounted air purifier frees up floor space--great for the home, office, school, and other indoor spaces. It effectively eliminates more than 99 percent of most airborne pollution particles (size 0.01-1.0 micron)--including dust, smoke, pollen allergens, bacteria, viruses, fungus, mold, pet dander, and more--in less than five hours. It removes the smallest particles, which cause the most severe health problems, but also larger particles (1.0-25.0 microns) at a reasonable rate.
In addition, the air purifier does not lose effect over time like with filter-based air purifiers. It can handle rooms up to 540 square feet, and it's made to be constantly turned on, thus continuously working at all times. The easy-to-maintain, economical air purifier requires no expensive filters to change. Instead, simply dismount the collector once every two weeks or when needed and wash it clean in hot water and dishwashing liquid. Other highlights include ozone-free silent operation (less than 5 dB), energy efficiency at only 7 watts per hour, and a discreet light in its transparent base, which can be switched off at any time. The air purifier measures 5 by 5 by 14 inches and carries a one-year warranty. From the ManufacturerLightAir IonFlow 50 LightAir IonFlow 50 delivers with an eye-catching beauty probably the healthiest air in the world. It offers an outstanding combination of efficient, silent, ozone free, energy saving, and easy to use, economical operation. Research and development shows that LightAir IonFlow 50 C-UL in continuous operation is extremely effective at eliminating the smallest airborne pollution particles (nano particles below 0.1 micron). These particles normally represent around 90 percent of all particles in the air and are considered to cause the most severe health problems. LightAir air purifier does not lose effect over time like filter based air purifiers do. Unbeatable Advantages Documented Performance LightAir Ion Flow 50 reaches high performance levels. LightAir uses its unique and patented technology. Instead of moving air through a filtration system, LightAir literally removes harmful particles from the air in a room, trapping them in a collector. When necessary the collector can be easily and rapidly removed and cleaned in hot water--no repeated, costly filter replacement. Traditional electrostatic and mechanical filter air purifiers quite often present performance based on the airflow at the highest air speed at an unacceptable noise level. The independent test from the Swedish National Testing and Research Institute was carried out in a closed test chamber with a regulated supply of smoke particles and showed the remarkable result of effectively eliminating practically all airborne particles (size 0.3-1.0 micron) in less than five hours. Tests show that LightAir IonFlow 50 is extremely effective eliminating the smallest particles (nano particles below 0.1 micron) which cause the most severe health problems. The extraordinary performance of LightAir IonFlow 50 air purifier is mainly due to its ability to generate enormous volumes of electrons forming a corresponding quantity of negative ions. In fact it generates more than 250,000 ions per cubic centimeter measured at a distance of one meter. This is a level that probably no other ionizer has ever reached before without serious side effects and without generating any ozone. This large amount of negative ions balances out the overdose of positive ions in indoor air, a balance that is proven to be good for our health. Even more important is its capacity to distribute the negative charge throughout the room and collect particles which is directly related to the large production of negative ions. How It Works Extensive Reserach. Decades of Development. The engineers at LightAir have been doing research on ion generators in Sweden for more than 25 years. They have developed sophisticated applications that have been used all over the world at military facilities, in the casino industry, the fruit and vegetable industry, horseracing stables, hospitals, and many more situations. During the last ten years scientists at LightAir have been focusing on research using ionization in air purification for home and office environment, which have resulted in the unique patented LightAir IonFlow Technology. Tests conducted by the Swedish National Testing and Research Institute prove that LightAir Ion Flow 50 air purifier effectively eliminates practically all airborne pollution particles (size 0.3-1.0 ?m) in less than five hours without generating any ozone.
