Surround Air Ionizers - Vehicle, Home & Office, 50 to 750 sq. ft.
Price Range: $20 to $299

Negative ions clean the air of particulates like dust, dander and pollen by magnetically attracting to pollutants until these newly-formed larger particles become too heavy to remain in the air you breathe. Surround Air Ionizers continually produce negative ions, so even if one of these fallen particles is kicked up into the air, it is quickly removed again. The most important thing, though, is that they are taken out of the air, preventing you from inhaling them into your lungs, which is how they cause problems. (Models shown are the vehicle XJ800 on the left and the 350-500 sq. ft. XJ2100 on the right)

Certain technologies are much better than others at removing different pollutants. With the Multi-Tech XJ3000C, for spaces from 500 to 750 sq. ft., you get 5 technologies all rolled into one air purifier: Ionizer, Germicidal UV Light, HEPA Filter, Activated Carbon Filter for odors, chemicals and gases and Ozone Sanitizer (can be turned off when not needed).
