Is this considered an ionizer?

Not sure, I don't believe so. I will say this though, I love my Waterwise 4000 so much that I bought another one, then another. I live just out of town with a family of six. I use unfiltered well water to make at least two gallons, sometimes six every day. All my friends and guests are amazed at the pure taste. Once brewed I place the already delicious water in glass bottles in the sun to 'charge'. This charging may ionize it. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4vud0NVDjw Watch more videos to better understand the benefits of sun charged water. I recommend you order the unit with glass collection jug. These use to be frail but the manufacturer has upgraded to a nice solid glass that is much more substantial. see more links..........Enjoy!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=OicFBvgtg84 http://sunlightenment.com/sun-charged-water-instructions/

I also have no idea how the ionizer works. I remember having read somewhere in another context that negative ions improve air quality, but i can't even be real specific about that. I do recall that the air felt pretty fresh during the six weeks before the thing quit on me. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hello it is a true HEPA air purifier It works very well. it dose has an Ionizers but I never use it as the filter is more than good enough for me I use MERV11 From Filters First Half the cost of Hunter and the 4 ft cut to size charcoal 2 pack pre filters from them to. I'm quite happy with it and I feel much better now that I'm using it most of the time I keep it on low Hope this helps John

yes, we have an ionizer and have used common supermarket chlorine for 14 years now. Our pool man recommended it all those years ago and it has been useful to us. Our first liner lasted 11 years and we are on our second liner now. It is holding up well using the ionizer \ chlorine combination.

Don't know anything about the effects of the ionizer feature. Sorry! Using the ionizer feature is optional, though. You can choose to have it on or off.

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

As far as I'm aware, it is impossible to turn off the ionizer. After the first couple of days, I didn't notice any kind of smell, though.

It just says "electronic Ionizer". I have asthma so don't use that feature to be on the safe side.

You can turn the ionizers off. The big filters are what makes this legit. I'm not sure about the smell good of the air, as I use it for alergies and small particulates in the air which it works well on. If you are going to try one of these pro and expensive filters in a small room, I'd recommend it. I bought a 2nd one for my office... I run it on med 2 out of 4, blowing a gentle clean breeze on me a few feet from my desk. I also sleep with one a few feet from my bed.

Yes, but have never figured out what the ionization feature is supposed to do. Has worked nicely so far - about thee months of use

Barely works. Doubt it could be ionizing. I used to have a negative ion generator and it is a different kind of unit.

E.E.R is an energy efficiency ratio (for this model is 10.8,which is very good ) plus it does have a clean air ionizer. Actually it's working excellent , has a lot of great features. For the first time I am really happy with this purchase. Good choice. Advice for buyers : don't skip on the extended warranty. It's really cheep but will give you a peace of mind.

No, I do not have to be out of the house when the ionizer is on low. This is a great unit. I have purchased units for hundreds of dollars and this unit is even better than all the others.

yes, it is a negative ion generator, and it has worked very well for my allergies, no filters to replace, I just clean the black pad with a trickle of water and soap when it gets dusty, it works by negatively charging the dust particles in the air and grounding them so they can be picked up with a vacuum or cleaned, when there are too many negative particles in the air it creates static electricity, in that case I turn mine off for a few hours and then turn it back on, it works on my 1100 sq foot home.

I just tried turning off the "auto" setting while leaving the ionizer on with the lowest fan speed. It works terrifically.

Ionizers typically have a byproduct of ozone which is harmful to your lungs.
