What does the ionizer means? what does it do?

The ionizer purifies the air in the room. It will help eliminate some of the odors. We have our fan in the kitchen so we use the ionizer a lot.

From my use so far, there is no access to the ionizer, so I have not needed to wipe anything clean. It is not like the ionizers that are sold solely to clean the air that need to be washed constantly after so many uses. I'm not sure how it works, I just turn it on and it works.

It is not an ionizer, but it is a powerful fan. I never have to use anything but the lowest speed. See Lasko 2505 36-Inch Remote Control Tower Fan with Ionizer, Black

There are two blue lights, one is for the ionizer indicator. You can turn the ionizer 'off' which also turns off the light. As some people believe the ionizer can be detrimental, it is good to know when it is 'on'. Those of you who recommend putting black tape on an indicator light, do you put black tape on your car's "Check Engine" light because it is annoying?

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.

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

From my understanding it ionizes the air to attract dirt to it but creates an emf field. (Don't know how true it is)... I don't like high emf fields, so when in doubt, I pulled the purifier apart and unplugged the plasma.

Only ionizers produce ozone, this machine works strictly with two physical filters, one which needs regular replacement, the other which needs regular cleaning, but can be replaced too if need be.

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

Depending upon the desired temperature setting, this heater will shut down when that temp is reached.The ionizer - forget the scientific or pseudo scientific explanation - will help to remove unwanted odors from the room in which you have placed the heater. You might not notice it, so in that case, don't bother with it. I like to use it in our "wet dog" room which is not well ventilated but I most certainly don't hit the ION button every time I turn on this heater. Since I had an ionizer setting on a fan and was delighted with it - no I didn't notice an odor from its use.

I'm not sure but I can breath noticeably better when the unit is on. We bought one for the living room and one for the bedroom. We just put them on level 2 speed. It has an auto mode but when its just on level 1 the air movement doesn't seem like it's very substantial but when you put your hand over the "blower" it does feel like a fair amount of air coming thru. But on speed 2 the increased air movement drowns out the sound the ionizer makes sometimes. You can turn off that option BTW by holding the power button down for 3 seconds. Overall we are pleased with the unit and would buy it again. I'm not sure but I can breath noticeably better when the unit is on. We bought one for the living room and one for the bedroom.

This is what Lasko says about the ionizer function:"The built-in Ionizer in a Lasko fan generates millions of negative ions and disperses them into the air to combat and dispel air pollution. As the negative ion levels grow, the air feels naturally fresher like the great outdoors."I think it's a marketing gimmick to sell fans.

Most likely the installation is incorrect. Please take a look at the youtube video at IntelGadgetsTV to see 2 different types of installation. As a quick fix, try switching the tubes at the bottom of the ionizer, sometimes it's mixed up.For any assistance, installation questions, warranty, feedback, please contact us at support@intelgadgets.com (24/7) or 1-888-200-3370 (Mon-Fri 10am-6pm EST)

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

The VI-2500 is the most powerful ionizer available and they do have a slight hissing sound and depending upon the amount of humidity, or air pollution, in the air can emit a slight sound. The whirring sound is the pumping of healthy ions into your air and if you put your palm just above the antenna you will feel them coming off the emitter. Call me if you have any further questions. with best regards,Ron Watson1530 S.E. 14th CourtDeerfield Beach, FL 33441(978) 413-3933

Yes, there is a separate button that allows you to run it with or without the ionizer.

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.
