Heaven Fresh HF 200 Ionic Air Purifier - Color Black Velvet

The best and lasts many years
I bought three of these many years ago, don't remember exactly how many years but could be as many as ten, and they are still working just as well as they did when I first bought them. I just ordered another one for my truck.

They WILL create dust as ionized particles stick to whatever is close to the ionizer. But hey, those are particles you otherwise would be breathing! Negative ionizers are especially important if you have a room with computer equipment and electric lights, which load the air with too many positively charged ions.

I suspect that the unusually strong odor was from the unusual type of finish which has a textured velvety feel to it. How ironic that an air purifier would make the home smell so bad. If the smell of paint doesn't bother you, it will probably be okay for you.

UPDATE: I ordered the wood grain model to see if my intuition was right -- that the extremely strong chemical smell was from the unusual velvety finish (you can't tell from the picture) of the black colored model. It seems intuition was right. The wood grain model (which has a gloss finish) does not have the strongly offensive "paint...
