Vortex Desktop Ionizer

Ionizers generate negative ions to counteract pollutants, which are positive ions. The ions bind to particles, reversing their polarity so they drop to the nearest surface or are neutralized. The devices create a refreshing environment and emit a fresh scent similar to that of country air. (Click here for an article on The ABCs of Ions.) The newly redesigned Vortex VI-3500 generates a whopping 3.4 trillion ions per second, effective for an area of up to 800 square feet. Place on a desk, shelf or any surface. Collection pad attracts many of the airborne pollutants, which means fewer stray particles that can darken walls. The unique spiral emitter stimulates airflow and helps draw dust, pollen, cigarette smoke and other contaminants to the device. Built-in detector continually monitors ion production levels; status light tells you the ionizer is working. Noiseless! Uses AC power. Measures 7 3/4" L x 7 1/2" W x 1 1/2" D. Easy maintenance; just wipe pad with a damp cloth. From Wein Products, a leading maker of air purification technologies.
