  • Does anyone know how these compare to the Xiaomi ones?

    • I have an Ion420, it does bring down particle count to zero at its outlet measuring with my own particle counter (Dylos DC1100), but it's probably only good for relatively small rooms. No Xiaomi to compare to.

      • Hey nfr,
        The ION420 is definitely also an excellent unit. It's fairly similar to the ION390 in terms of features, though the 390 is designed to also cater to larger spaces. The ION420 can cover upto 35 sqm, whereas the ION390 covers approx. 60 sqm.
        Hopefully this helps.

      These are much better than Xiaomi based on my own personal experience.
      I have only used the Mi Air Purifier 2.

    • Unless I am missing something, the specs of the Xiaomi make it look like a cheap toy that has a Bluetooth gimmick. A 5w fan motor and just a HEPA filter? I could put something together from Bunnings for $25 that will out perform it.

      This one has UV, ionisation and beefy fans to really circulate air.

        I have not disassembled my Mi Air Purifier 2 but I know it contains some sort of particle sensor and Wifi.
        You're probably right though. I think the 'business end' consists of a fan and a HEPA filter.

        There are few websites with IDY air purifiers that look spot on

        EDT: this one is even better https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/make-diy-air-purifier/

        • Those look like they would function great but ugly AF.

          The one I had off the top of my head was to get a small plastic storage tub that's similar in shape to the Xiaomi one, put a 360* HEPA filter in the bottom (or cut a large panel filter into 4x small filters to line the sides of the bottom of the plastic tub with) and then use sheet of MDF on top to seal the bottom area with glue. Cut a hole in the MDF to fit a fan. Use rubber stoppers and duct tape to seal fan to MDF and provide dampening with the direction of the air going upwards (sucking air in from the sealed area with the HEPA filters).

          Put holes into the bottom sides of the plastic tub (can make it look decorative easily if using an old soldering iron with good ventilation, IMO much better than using a drill which can fracture and crack plastic when drilling into it) and then make an area up top for the cleaned air to go.

          Could make it look pretty similar to the Xiaomi ones.

          If you're feeling really DIY then can code an arduino, Pi or any programmable micro controller to take in readings from a cheap air quality sensor and adjust fan speed that way. Can also get bluetooth or wifi control modules for a few dollars on eBay too if you want to go all out and be able to control it from your phone.

    • Xiaomi has definitely developed a good name for itself in this space. Our feedback may be a little biased as we don't stock any of the Xiaomi range, though we can attest to the quality, performance and reliability of the IONMAX units. They've been solid performers in our books, and seem to live up to their claims/specifications.

  • Do they get rid of smoke smell from the air when there are burnoffs or bushfires around ? I have climate purifier.. it is good at getting rid of dust but does not get rid of the smoke smell

    • Hi Rob,
      We have received feedback from some of our ION390 buyers that they've seen success with this unit greatly reducing the smoke smell produced by neighbouring wood heaters. We can't be sure about bushfires/burnoffs specifically unfortunately, as we imagine that the smell/contamination in the air would be more potent in this instance, though we suspect that it should still help with reducing it.
      Hopefully this helps, and feel free to let us know if you have any further queries at all.

  • How's the noise on this?

    Also read somewhere the potential downside of air purifier is that it generates ozone which could be bad. Does this one do that too and if so to what level

    • As far as I understand it the generation of ozone is unavoidable because a UV lamp is present.
      Their air purifiers may not be ozone generators but they will likely still produce some levels of ozone.

      This isn't necessarily a good or a bad thing.

        Hi 0xFFFF,

        For anyone interested also, the following has been sourced directly from the FAQ found on the Ionmax website regarding ozone:
        "Ionisers are not ozone generators, although both devices function similarly. Ionisers basically involve a mechanism of electrostatically charged plates that create positively or negatively charged gas ions (for example N2− or O2−) and this particulate matter gets stuck which gives an effect similar to static electricity. Ozone generators usually have been designed to produce an additional oxygen ion to an O2 molecule through either a corona discharge tube or UV light. It must be noted that even the top-most ionisers may produce some amount of oxygen ion, but the amounts produced are nowhere near enough to cause any harm at all to us."

        What we take from this info is essentially what 0xFFFF touched on - there may potentially be a minuscule amount produced due to the UV light, though it is not considered to be harmful to humans in these very small quantities.

        • Brilliant! Thanks @eliteelectronics :)

        • @0xFFFF:
          No worries at all, more than happy to help out. :)

    • Hi Shockrave,
      This unit is fairly quiet on low. You only start to hear it a little on the medium setting, and on high we'd compare it to the noise level produced by a conventional pedestal fan.

  • Actually 2 more questions to elite electronics - how long does the filter last for and how much are the replacements?

    • Hey Shockrave,
      According to Ionmax's FAQ on their website, they do explicitly state that none of their products including their air purifiers are ozone generators. They go into detail about this on their site, so we trust their claims to be true.

      The ION390's 3-in-1 filter requires replacing on average every 12 months, and the TiO2 filter every 3-4 years (depending on use of course). The ION390 also features filter indicator lights that let you know when the filters need to be cleaner or replaced, which is definitely helpful.
      The 3-in-1 filter costs approx. $30, and the TiO2 filter approx. $15, so they're quite inexpensive to replace when needed.

      Hopefully this has helped, and let us know if you have any other questions that we can help out with.

  • Thanks - looks like this deal is expired :(. Let me know if you will still honour the 10% off price and I'll make a purchase :)
