In today’s turbulent times, the last thing you want plaguing your home is unclean air. However, unfortunately, the air is full of more toxins than you would believe. Pet dander, hair, bacteria, dust, etc. all have detrimental effects on your health when continuously inhaled. It’s not all bad news though, as there is a solution, the home air purifier. Today we will be critiquing a smaller, more streamlined unit than we are usually accustomed to; The OION B-1000 air purifier. Check it out.

OION B-1000 Air Purifier

Interested in the myriad health benefits of investing in a home air purifier? Do not be dissuaded by the steep price-tags of the more upper-range units. If you’re working with a tight budget, and you only have a smaller room that you would like the air cleaned in, we advise giving the OION B-1000 a moment of your time, it could save you quite a hefty sum of cash.

Cooling Capabilities

The OION B-1000 utilizes a combination of UVGI technology alongside an Electrostatic Ionizer to remove pollutants from the air. This is accomplished by using UV light to sterilize air as it passes through the device. Additionally, UVGI Technology has also been clinically proven to reduce infections and respiratory symptoms. The Ionizer, on the other hand, removes particulates as small as 0.01 microns by introducing negatively charged ions into the air, making it easier to catch airborne pollutants on their second pass through the device. This allows the OION B-1000 to cater to living spaces of up to 100 square feet. As an added perk, carbon filtration allows the device to remove typical household odors.

Efficiency / Certifications

Unfortunately, we were unable to find any certification information regarding this unit, which is a common issue with smaller units such as the OION B-1000. However, can inform our readers that this unit benefits from a low wattage of 7.5W, making it highly inexpensive to run.

Convenience

Unfortunately, as is the case with many smaller units of this type on the market, most of the convenient features we would usually look for are absent from this unit. The reasoning behind this? Smaller units are often meant to be lighter, more portable alternatives to the upper-range units on the market, which can admittedly be very expensive. It may even be seen as a trade-off of sorts, if the user is willing to sacrifice features such as wireless remote controls, or operational timers, etc., there are units on the market for a significantly lower price-tag.

Design

Weighing about 3.8lbs, this unit puts out a low-moderate amount of noise. Unfortunately, we don’t have an official decibel rating, but we can testify that this product will not disrupt your daily routine as it operates. A big feature of this device that we especially admired was its Eco-Friendliness. With no filters to replace or throw out, the OION B-1000 is both beneficial for your health, and that of the environment. Finally, with high/low settings of function, the user can further the efficiency of the unit by operating the device in a lower setting when full power is not necessarily required.

Help & Support

Unfortunately, OION do not maintain a very impressive customer support network, with their company representatives only being contactable via online web-form or email. On a positive note, OION does provide more-than adequate backing for this product, with a generous 3-year limited warranty.

Verdict

In summary, the OION is certainly not without its problems. For one, its lack of convenient features really is one hell of an obstacle to overcome with this unit. Additionally, as it only provides purifying capabilities for spaces of 100 square feet, this unit is not a viable option for anything larger than a small room. However, with its price-tag standing at an immensely affordable $89.95 base price (on sale at the time of this review for $49.95), this unit’s asking price and ultra-low energy demand, you will surely save a lot of cash with the OION B-1000.
