In the past, the EPA has warned the public on the dangers of ozone inhalation. Even low amounts of ozone can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breathe, and throat irritation. Currently, there are several air purifiers on the market today thatutilize ozone to clean the air, but this method of air purification is under close scrutiny by many government agencies due to the adverse health effects that are associated with their use.
Thankfully, Airfree has designed a revolutionary air purifier that has the ability to remove harmful pollutants from the air you breathe without emitting ozone in areas up to 650 square feet - the Onix 3000. In fact, the Airfree Onix air purifier actually reduces ozone gas. In order to clean the air,the Airfree Onix uses a patented ceramic core to incinerate spores, fungus, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores at around 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This is made possible by the Onix's significant heat contribution to the ambient, and no living microorganisms are able to survive this power.
Because the Airfree Onix TSS cleans the air without the use of fans or HEPA filters, the Airfree is totally silent, making it ideal for bedrooms and home use. In addition, the Airfree Onix is energy efficient and maintenance free. By using only 46 watts, it costs about the same to destroy microorganisms in your home as it does to power a single light bulb: only 56 watts. As well, the Onix uses no filters or UV lamps, making purchasing replacementparts unnecessary.
Safely and effectively remove harmful pollutants from the air with the Airfree Onix air purifier.

Works on mold and mildew allergy very well so far

| Review Date: September 30, 2008 |
| Reviewer: A customer, Los Angeles |
| This device works on mold in the air. I could tell the pretty impressive effect within about twenty four hours. This version is more powerful than another one, the P100, that I have tried and that one also worked very well. This one is the most powerful they have right now and the column of warm air is slightly more intense than on the lower powered one. This one produces enough heated convection to notice if you put your hand about four inches above it. It still isn't what I would call hot though or even very warm. The blue light is still a good warning not to drape something over it which of course you're not supposed to do! The main thing is how long it will last as it is meant to run continuously. So far after a month there are no problems. This took care of the basement mold allergy problem in a 12 by 20 foot room. There was nothing to assemble. It comes out of the box and you plug it in where nothing can block the top vent and that's it. One of the most useful things I've bought in a while. |
Asthma fix

| Having recently been diagnosed with asthma I was anxious to find a good air purifier for my bedroom. I opted for the Airfree Onix 3000 because it was not only rated highly but, amazingly, required no maintenance. Within a matter of hours after plugging it in I noticed that the air smelled a lot fresher and the first morning after having the purifier in my room I woke up with almost no congestion in my nose (a first!)so it must be doing a good job of getting rid of the allergens. The best part is that because I am a light sleeper it's wonderful to have a purifier that is totally silent. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the anti-stress light but it's kind of a pretty so I may just leave it on. It's too early to comment on this product's longevity but I am extremely happy with it so far. So happy, in fact, that I am ordering 2 more for other parts of our house. |
Improves quality of sleep

I put one of these in my bedroom. Before installing it, I tossed and turned a lot at night and rarely dreamed. Now I sleep deeper and dream more often. I suspect my allergies were interfering with my sleep before. (I am primarily allergic to cats and dust mites, but also have a mild mold allergy.) The blue light on top does not interfere with my sleep, but sometimes I turn it off anyway. There is a small blue LED on the side that does not turn off, which I found annoying until I rotated the unit so that the LED does not shine in my eyes when I'm trying to sleep. The unit does not make any noise (the air is moved by heating, not by a fan).
Before buying this, I needed 7-8 hours of sleep per night to function well during the day. Now I feel the same on only 6-7 hours of sleep.
The product literature claims this can help remove odors from the air. It may reduce the pungency of odors, but it does not remove them completely in my experience. |
Cleared up the itchy/puffy morning eyes

Overall very satisfied with the product. The wife's asthma attacks are much improved and my eyes aren't swollen shut in the morning anymore from allergies/dust mites/mold or whatever the heck it was that was bothering me (I am highly allergic). I was able to tell with my eyes within the first couple days, though per the literature it can take a couple weeks to get the entire room well sterilized.
In response to the poster above, you can dim the blue light with a dimmer switch button on the underside if the light the airfree gives off bothers you. |
It Works!

I purchased this because my home contained visable mold and who knows what's hidden behind the drywall. In addition, the lower level of the home often had a funny smell (not really moldy, just funny, kind of earthy), and since I moved, the dog and cat are really itchy. I read one of the reviews for this product on another site where someone had a mold remediator come in 4 times and it didn't work, so I decided to try this first, since it's cheaper, and it is supposed to remove more than just mold. I plugged this in in the family room on the lower level. It originally gives off a mild burning smell that subsides after a few days. Soon, the lower level of my home had no more funny smells and both the cat and dog prefer to sleep in that room as opposed to all other rooms. I just ordered a second one for the mid level of my home and plan to get a smaller one for the bedroom. I'm very pleased with it. Don't know that it got rid of the mold, but it did get rid of the smell and both the dog and cat think it's doing a good thing, since they had no interest in that room prior to the Airfree. To me, that says a lot.
Ok, had to edit this because I got the second airfree for the living room level and that's been running about 2 weeks now. They say it takes a month to work, but my itchy dog, who had rubbed all the hair off her eye and had large scabs on her rear by her tail (the vet was the one who originally put the air purifier idea in my head) has stopped rubbing her face, her eye's no longer red and it appears that the hair's even making an effort to regrow and all the scabs on her rear are gone! She's not on any meds for this either so that's not the cause of her improvement. This is more than I could have hoped for. She's much more comfortable and will now hang with us in the livingroom. I just ordered a small one for my bedroom. Now we'll see how it does on my morningtime stuffy nose :-) Ps. still no funny smells on the lower level! |

| I bought this product at http://www.breathemoreeasily.com , but wanted to share my feedback in this forum. It has dramaitcally increased the "breatheability" of my air. I suffer from MCS, astham, and severe allergies, and the use of this product has helped tremendously...and even allowed me to reduce the amount of medication I take! It has already paid for itself! |
Blue Light Special

| Review Date: April 11, 2009 |
| Reviewer: JerseyGirl Gardener "Pat", Cherry Hill, NJ USA |
| I bought this unit for my bedroom. I wanted something quiet, rather than the air cleaner I currently have and I need something going all the time due to allergies. You cannot turn off the blue light. It is very bright. I moved the unit to a spare bedroom where I sometimes store dusty items from the attic and it works fine there where I do not mind the light. |
Not sure of effects yet

I purchased this item October 24th. I had pneumonia and was concerned about air quality. I cannot tell if it is working, but I have left it plugged in because I have faith that it is probably working. I think I will have to do a test with a strawberry to see if it molds quickly, or have an indoor air quality person do a test, which will cost $400.
It is hard to tell if it works. It is true that it is silent and doesn't make the room any hotter or colder. It would be nice if there was something they could build into this product to measure air samples or something to show you it is working. |
