Microionxyz Ionic Air Purifier A01 (Grey, Wall-Mounted)

How does ion technology work without filters?

Ion technology releases negative ions that electrically charge airborne particles, causing them to clump together and fall from the air or stick to surfaces. This process neutralises pollen, dust, odours and other contaminants without requiring physical filtration. The ions continue working throughout the room, providing ongoing air purification that traditional filters cannot match.

What ongoing costs should I expect?

This unit has no ongoing consumable costs as it requires no filter replacements. The only running cost is electricity, which amounts to approximately £0.04 per day based on current UK energy prices. Unlike HEPA filter systems that require £30-50 annual filter replacements, this ion technology eliminates those recurring expenses entirely.

How large a room can this purifier handle effectively?

The unit covers up to 80㎡ (approximately 860 square feet) with its 310m³/h CADR rating. This makes it suitable for large living rooms, open-plan kitchen-dining areas, or multiple smaller rooms. The coverage depends on ceiling height and room layout, but most UK homes will find this capacity more than adequate for their main living spaces.

Is the wall mounting secure and what tools are needed?

The wall-mounting system is designed for secure installation and includes all necessary mounting hardware. You'll need a drill, spirit level and appropriate wall plugs for your wall type (plasterboard, brick, or concrete). The 2.49kg weight requires standard wall fixings and the mounting points are positioned to distribute weight evenly across the bracket system.

How loud is this purifier during normal operation?

In sleep mode, the unit operates at just 25dB, which is quieter than a whisper and barely audible in a quiet room. During normal operation, it reaches 6 sones, equivalent to quiet conversation levels. The automatic adjustment feature means it only increases speed when air quality deteriorates, maintaining the quietest possible operation most of the time.

Can this purifier help with pet odours and allergens?

Yes, the ion technology effectively neutralises pet odours by breaking down odour molecules at the molecular level. It also helps with pet dander and hair by charging these particles so they settle out of the breathing zone. The wall-mounted design keeps the unit safely away from curious pets whilst ensuring optimal air circulation throughout the room.

Does this unit require any maintenance or cleaning?

Maintenance is minimal compared to traditional filter-based purifiers. Occasionally wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and ensure the air intake isn't blocked. The ion generation plates may need gentle cleaning every few months with a soft brush, but there are no filters to replace or wash. This makes it ideal for people who want effective air purification without ongoing maintenance tasks.

How do I know if the air purifier is working effectively?

The LED display shows real-time Air Quality Index readings, providing immediate feedback on your indoor air quality. You'll notice improvements in air freshness within 10-15 minutes of operation, particularly in kitchens or rooms with odours. The automatic adjustment feature demonstrates effectiveness by reducing fan speed as air quality improves, showing the system is actively responding to cleaner air.
