WE TOOK A TRIP TO THE PANAMA CANAL AND HAD TO FLY TO PUERTO RICO FIRST. LONG WAY FROM CALIFORNIA AND IT NEVER FAILS WHEN WE TAKE A LONG TRIP BY PLANE I WIND UP WITH A TERRIBLE COLD.
WITH THE CUTE GERM GUARDIAN PURIFIER NOT EVEN A HINT OF ONE. COLD FREE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YRS.
A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER, ALTHOUGH MY HUSBAND COULD NOT USE HIS BECAUSE HE WEARS A PACEMAKER.
AND.............AMAZON GOT IT RIGHT ON TIME, BEFORE THE TRIP. |
Love it!

I purchased this little negative ion air purifier because I respond very positively to negative ions, they lift my mood and keep me alert. Plus I have asthma and allergies and thought maybe it would help with that too and it does seem to.
The rechargeable battery holds a charge for quite a long time and the charger doesn't take up a lot of space. The blue light that tells you it's on and working is nice, but can be quite bright in a dark room even when wearing it backwards The blue light makes it very easy to tell when it's turned off or when the charge has run down. As far as the positive effects of the negative ions it is not quite as effective for me as a larger negative ion filter, but it DOES help and you can't wear a tower filter :) The size and weight are great. My only complaint is that the strap is not adjustable for people with larger necks. If you struggle with depression and find you feel better after it rains or snows, try one of these negative ion filters! |
Worth the money

I bought two of these recently; one for me and one for my wife for a recent trip to Europe. We both wore them on the flight over (from Chicago to Frankfort) and both of us arrived in tip top shape. After a week of traveling about the Continent, mine had somehow been shoved in a bag with the power switch on (and we did not bring the chargers which will work on 220 with an adapter plug - which is not supplied). My wife's unit did work for the trip back (from Zurich to Washington, D.C.). The bottom line is that I had a miserable cold for the week following the trip and my wife came back with no symptoms at all.
So for $30, it appears to be a good investment. |
Ozone alert!!!

I bought this for additional protection during flu season. It sounded like a good product and most of the reviews were positive but after only three (3!!!) days (average about 3-4 hours use each day)the blue light stopped working. More importantly, I developed a headache and a wheezy feeling in my chest and throat after the FIRST day! After the light stopped working I decided to do a little research on ion air purifiers and I am pretty certain this little gadget was the cause of my discomfort. I don't have asthma, but this article from the Mayo Clinic (and other online articles about air "purifiers") helped inform my decision to return this puppy and look for another solution to combat the flu and other unwanted airborne germs. [...]
Long story short, if you enjoy sucking ozone into your lungs and the respiratory distress that causes, then this may be the product you were looking for. Otherwise, I recommend DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!

| since I started using personal air purifiers on airplanes, I went from always getting sick at the start of my vacation to now staying healthy the whole time! I even wear it at work at times, when there are lots of colds and the flu are circulating through the office, and I rarely get sick. I love the rechargeable batteries as well. |
