ionMi

Now, am I convinced that this product 100% works to prevent you from fall ill ever again? No. It isn’t a panacea that will never let you fall ill again, I know because I fell ill while going to the office (without a mask for the first time) with it (and an AirTamer) on my person. However, I do feel the difference.Usually, any kind of upper respiratory illness renders me feeling so sickly that I can barely get out of bed or function. But, throughout the weekend since I fell ill, I have been, otherwise, performing normally.With the AirTamer, alone, I had already felt somewhat of a change, especially with my mood as well as some of my allergies. But adding this to the mix both gives me an extra bit of security mainly because the AirTamer exclusively produces negative ions while the ionMi creates plasma ions (equal parts negative and positive ions) that apparently work to help sanitize the air by destroying the DNA structure of pollutants and viruses (negative ions, alone, weigh down pollutants for later cleaning).Due to the nature of plasma ions, I feel as if the ionMi “freshens the air” without the actual ozone smell that you’d expect from an ionizer, which is actually a good thing as this means that the ozone emissions of this product aren’t harmful. The last question on ozone emissions garnered a self-reported rating of 0.035 ppm (35 ppb) from IonPacific, however, this may actually be higher than the actual amount as the IonBox only produces 0.002 ppm (2 ppb) of ozone and IonPacific unintentionally stated it to be 0.02 ppm in a previous answer. I have asked a question that will hopefully get an answer for the real ppm rating for ozone emissions.In any case, I feel safe with the ionMi and AirTamer combination that I am currently using. My only symptoms are those of a cold or the early February allergies I seem to get every year that I have no reason to think were caused by either ionizer.All in all, I’m giving it 5 stars, I may change it depending on how it works going forward but I believe that this product is worth it.

I purchased this device to take to work with me to clean the air around me as we don’t get much fresh air in my workspace and to benefit from negative ions. I like that I can charge it at home and it will last all day without me having to use their equipment for safety reasons as well as portability if I move stations. I use this along with a portable HEPA air purifier. I do not notice any bothersome smells from the device. My only issue with the ionMi, is that when I go to charge it, sometimes the blue light does not come on. I thought maybe it was broken and no longer would charge but then I waited a bit and tried it again and it is charging fine. So, it is iffy when it comes to charging it and some other reviews say it stops charging after awhile which for the price is going to be very disappointing. It’s a bit of an inconvenience and frustrating now when it acts up since I have not even had it 30 days yet. I do not use the included strap but it’s a nice option to have if I ever want to. Another tip, if you charge it with a wall outlet as I do, get yourself an Amazon Basics USB extension cord with with a male and female end so you can set the device on the counter while you are charging it. By the way, the cord is not the issue with the charging problem I am having because I tested it by just plugging the device right into it without the cord and I even tried different sockets, different wall adapters, etc. and also tried charging different devices which all charged fine. I am hoping that the device continues to work for a long time as I love the portability of it. I was first interested in the ion box but did not want to have to always have it plugged it because I move work stations so much, some places may be inconvenient for that. I hope this review helps. I just wanted to warn others of the potential charging flaw, but other than that, it is a wonderful device!

I've been a ionbox 20m user for a few years now and when I saw that this new portable unit came out I had to give it a try. So far, I am loving it! I have been using the ionMi on my commutes to work. Because of the ionMi, my car is fresher and I feel better. I discovered about negative ions a few years ago and have been an advocate for their benefits... been telling all my friends and family about them ever since!I like the ionMi because of its small size. I can wear it around my neck and feel the negative ions near my face. When I don't want to wear it on my neck I simply just place it in my pocket. The battery life of the unit can last up to 14 days depending on what power setting you use. It only takes a couple hours to power to full, so I really don't need to worry about it running out of power.In conclusion, if you are a fan of the ionbox 20m, definitely check out the ionMi! You will not be dissapointed.

It seemed to work when first plugged in. The bedroom air was different (better) over night. When removed from the socket in the morning, it didn't have any light or indication it was working at all. Obviously, it would have been charged. Pushing the tiny "on" button caused the blue light to just flash a few times, then nothing. Pushing again, same thing. Pushing again, same thing. No solid light at all. No info provided explains how to tell if it was working after it is charged. So, I posted a question about this and was told the blue light should stay on once the unit is charged. I plugged it back into the wall, and still no light, regardless of trying each position of the little button. It should NOT be this difficult to know if a product is working properly or not. I have to assume mine was faulty. I returned it for a refund.
