Is this ionizer easy to install and can you uninstall it to take on vacation?? Thank you for your response.

It's easy to install and certainly could uninstall and take it on vacation.

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

Probably not. I can't see where one would be. I like the heater: it is quiet and the ionizer seems to make it smell fresher.

Yes is really very easy. I'm install and remove it every time I used it. I don't have it on . It is a great product.

Oh yes, the ionizer can be shut off by turning off the UV light with one push of a button.

Best to vacate room ionizer is in. Yes, take cat out. Manufacturer brochure also states you should not stare into box.

i can't seem to find any info on being able to replace the filter. maybe it's permanently inside the fan? I also didn't find anything on the fan itself to see where you could replace the filter. A lot of reviews say the ionizer is worthless but I love my fan. I haven't used the ionizer too much but I don't feel I need it. My thought was, if I need it, it's there. The fan is fairly priced for what you get even if it didn't have the ionizer. For me, it was well worth the purchase. I hope this helps.

Hi James, I just cut a hole in my wall near a dedicated outlet and installed it with the help of a friend. With a Saws-off it took about two hours including the sealing around the unit. It works great. I am more than pleased with this Friedrich. I wished I had done this long ago. Kc

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.

I do own some ionizers, and as far as I can tell, this plasma wave technology is very different from an ionizer, but I don't know the physics to explain it. In practice, ionizers make my eyes and nose and throat smart if they are on in a room for more than an hour or so. This unit does not have that effect whatsoever. It just breaks down odors. Otherwise I notice nothing. I have two of them and have been happy with them for years.....

This is normal. You should not hear any sound at all when just the ionizer is on, only when you turn the actual fan on.

I'm not at the property right now, but the installation instructions had info about how to turn this feature on/off...as I recall, you tap the unit a couple times and wait 30 secs....something like that. You can always call Delta customer service to ask or download the install instructions if you need them. Hope that helps.

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

I bought this item a long time ago and i really don't remember about the ionization feature. I don't think I ever used it. I bought it for a humidifier and it was fine for that.

The metal bar of the ionizer can get gunk on it causing it to be less effective. You should be able to put your ear up to the ionizer hole on the bottom front and here a sizzling/whooshing sound.The qtip method will basically accomplish this, although it won't touch most of the metal; you have to take it apart, which is easy if you have a thin shaft philips screw driver. You'll see the metal around the whole and the bar on the backside, just clean it with the qtip method. Don't touch any of the other circuitry or the board. You can also clean the fan but be gentle - it's cheap and pushing on the blades might cause it to get noisy. The metal bar of the ionizer can get gunk on it causing it to be less effective.

This machine is awesome, the output is incredible and unlike some other reviews, no issues with our UV light after multiple uses. The UV light, and "Ionizing" effect kills mold/mildew spores and so on, and so running the unit next to/near your AC air return ( while running) should help to keep mold/mildew at bay, however you will need to be out of the house when running the unit due to the high ionizing output. We typically use this machine in a closed room, car, etc. run on hold for a couple hours, then requires a significant amount of "airing out" before re-entering the room. Because your AC air return would be pulling lots of air through ( not just the air from the ionizer), you would probably want to run it longer so that it can effectively get to your entire system. Make sure you and all pets are out of the house... Place the dial on hold ( turn dial counter clockwise to hold position), turn on your AC/ or "FAN" for your AC system, and let it run for a few hours ( depending on the size of your home), then, hold your breath and run in and turn it off, and open your windows to let the house air out. After a cpl hours you should be able to safely re-enter the home, and after a couple days the fresh smell of the ionizer should fade, leaving a neutral "clean" smell throughout your house. Hope this helps... we use it all the time now and love it!

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
