Works well if windows are closed . In hot weather though , the interior gets too hot for that .

I purchased this as a gift for my mother...she smokes, I don't. Now her car smells great! You can't smell even a hint of odor. Amazing!

I am a smoker but don't like the smell in the house or my car. Both air purifiers work great

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.

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!!!

Negative ions are a good thing.

Keeps the car smelling...well like nothing!!! Which is great! Girlfriend loves it and she is a smoker (eww) Car never smells like smoke which I love! Blue light is annoying and they need to address that but it works and thats what matters!

No more constant costs of purchasing air freshners!

this is a great thing to have in a car or a van to get read of the germs and keeps the air fresh.

I have a large dog that travels w/ me in my car and this product has made the ordor non existent in my car.
I would even allow someone to smoke in my car knowing that the smell will be gone shortly after
they are.

It has a nice blue L.E.D. light and keeps the car smelling fresh. You don't lose your power socket either.

Great to have in your car

By Tiff from Chattanooga, TN on 1/15/2008

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.

I USE THE PRODUCT IN MY SUV AND IT WORKS GREAT....CLEANS THE SMOKE RIGHT OUT

By Sonny from Winter Springs, FL on 1/13/2008

I use this product in my car and am very pleased with the performance.

By Starburst from Long Beach, NY on 1/7/2008

works well and you still have access to power your mobile electronics

By Dex from Columbus Ohio on 1/6/2008

Functional for the price.

By Jules from Hermosa Beach, ca on 1/5/2008

Knowing that those negative ions are at would to clean the air and energize the air I breath while in traffic is a comfort.

By Bobo from Tustin Ranch, California on 1/4/2008

Affordable and functionable Christmas Gift.

By Ron from Ohio on 1/4/2008

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.

By MOH from Mifflinburg PA on 1/4/2008

Ionizer works great,extra socket is a good feature. Husband and I can both have mobile phones charging at same time.

By buster from houston on 1/4/2008

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.

By BoltExpo from Norcross GA on 12/20/2007

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.

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.
