Pros:
Improves Comfort, Improves Performance
Best Uses:
Car, Truck
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I gave this product to my father-in-law. He is one of those people who has everything. He lives out of his truck so I thought this might just be something that he would enjoy and he really loves it. Very easy to use. He is very sensitive to any odors so this has been very very helpful for him.

It does have a bright blue light that is annoying but I pushed it towards the floor then it wasn't a bother at all.

Best Uses:

Exchange of Ions have been found to increase the energy and alertness of the driver. The ion exchange refreshes the stagnant air in the car making it smell clean and eliminates allergens making it a healthier environment.

A super gift that I bought for two people at Christmas and now will buy one each for the rest of my family and now Im going to include myself in that list too!!!

Everyone vehicle should have one
By TiffVerified Reviewer from Chattanooga, TN on 1/15/2008
Pros:
Improves Comfort, Perfect for smokers
Cons:
Bulky, Light is VERY bright
Best Uses:
Car, Truck
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I smoke but with this product my car doesn't smell like an ashtray. I have looked at other products; they were either terribly expensive or extremely bulky. While this is bulky it is no where near the size of others. I have a compact 2-door car, it would not be bulky in an SUV or truck. I will never be without one.

Nice, but BRIGHT!
By RonVerified Reviewer from Ohio on 1/4/2008
Pros:
Improves Comfort
Cons:
Flimsy
Best Uses:
Car
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Had difficulty turning on at first, but after wiggling around the extremely bright light came on and it began working. Light is definitely too bright and I plan on duct taping over it in order to hide it. Very distracting during night-time driving.

Otherwise a good product.

Bright light

It is what we expected
By busterVerified Reviewer from houston on 1/4/2008
Pros:
Improves Comfort
Best Uses:
Car, RV, Truck
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

As expected, this plugs into the power socket in the automobile (formerly known as a car lighter). It does rid the car of certain odors, although I wouldn't bring it in for big jobs.

 
Great Idea
By BoltExpoVerified Reviewer from Norcross GA on 12/20/2007
Best Uses:
Keep In The Trunk
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is wrapped and under the tree right now, so I haven't used it. I thought that my husband would enjoy the clean smell, and the clean air would do him good.

I thought it was a cool idea.

Pivot arm a little too flimsy
By MarkH from Boston, MA on 9/18/2007
Pros:
Improves Comfort
Cons:
Flimsy
Best Uses:
Car, RV, Truck
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Purchased three of the named ionziers over the last seven years.

Pros: Ionizier works well and is completely silent during operation which is often not the case with other car ionizers.

Cons: The main design issue with this product is with the rigidity of the pivoting arm. My car configuration is such that the cupholders are in close proximity to the cigarette lighter socket. After repeated removal/insertion the pivot arm becomes very flimsy, resulting in not being able to angle the ionizer in a stable direction.
I also noticed that the blue LED "on" light indicator is also very bright. When in use during night conditions this results in illuminating the interior of the car in a eerie blue light. Great for Halloween I guess?

However given the minor issues, I still would recommend the product. However I suggest keep your purchase receipt incase of warranty issues e.g. the pivot arm.
