does this have an ionizer?

I do not know off hand, so I looked at the box. The box says the following, "the patented 3-step filtration system captures up to 99% of airborne pollutant 2um and larger. The pre-filter captures larger particles, such as dust and pollen. The primary iFd technology filter electrostatically charges the air and captures microscopic particles. A built in ionizer charges the filtered air with negative ions to help boost cleaning power." So, yes, it does have an ionizer...

I don't leave the house, however, I don't have it on all the time. If you want it on all the time the fan will help. I use the ionizer on high for 15- 30 minutes with a standing oscillating fan in front of it, and that cleans the air really well, especially when expecting company.

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

Google "Definition ionizer", it applies a static charge to the air to allow small particles to become larger particle that can be trapped by an air filer. Does it work on this unit? I don't know.

Yes it does. It has dual removable filters, cool shot button, variable heat settings and ionic styling nozzle.

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

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.

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.

This diffuser doesn't have a built-in ionizer, it just has ionizing effects like any other aroma diffuser.

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

Yes...it does. Note these are the best units I have had so far. The other very popular ones crap out within a year and give a false alarm.This is due to the manner in which the smoke particles are sensed. Photoelectric and ionized particles.Bill

Thank you all for your responses. Sounds like my Bionaire unit will be good enough. I also have a separate Ionizer that has collection blades - it does its job, clean it with rubbing alc and black gunk gets on the paper towel.

Yes, there is a button that toggles it on and off. I rarely use the ionizer.

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

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