The lack of ionization is treated positively because it supports ozone-free operation and keeps the purifier mechanically filtered.

Pros: overall satisfaction, odor reduction

Cons: noise level, reliability

One owner specifically liked the ionization feature, but the rest of the comments do not say much about how it changes day-to-day performance.

Pros: overall satisfaction, odor reduction

Cons: value for money, app connectivity
