Surround Air XJ2000

Pros: Good price, cheap operation, abundant negative ions!

Cons: The pins may wear out over time, they cost alot to replace!

Review: One aspect that may confuse people, is that these units aren't so much "air filters" as they are negative ion generators.

Negative Ions have a very positive effect on people's moods and brain chemistry. Creating a sense of well-being. They...

Pros: XJ-2000 puts out ozone which is good for liter box areas.

Cons: No fan so no negative ion production at 5 feet

Review: I'm a member of an allergy club in California. I recently tested the XJ-2000 and "Multi-Tech" vs a competitive product with an ion meter and was shocked to find out the XJ-2000 didn't produce any negative ions at 5 feet and the "Multi-Tech" didn't...

Pros: It does make your house smell fresh. Can really tell the different

Cons: It's not worth taking a chance of you house catching fire.

Review: If you bought this item please check the plugs often. I bought 6 of them 5 months ago and all the plugs are cracked. I had to move the one in my daughters bedroom and was horrified to see the plug part was damaged so I checked the others and they...

Pros: Inexpensive, quiet, freshens air

Cons: Distinct ozone smell near unit

The Bottom Line: If you don't want to work around the ozone smell then this ionizer is not for you. Otherwise, it seems to do the job.

Review: I bought the Neotec XJ2000, which is the same machine made by the same company in China. I burn a lot of wood in winter months and needed some way to keep the dust down. The highly marketed Ionic Breeze Quadra was just too expensive. I ended up...

Pros: Easy to clean, puts out a good amount of ozone and is affordable.

Cons: No fan to blow the air through.

Review: The goof offs who complain about too much ozone are just wimps. I bought mine over 2 years ago and like it. I have used it in a 15 x 15 office. It's an older place and has always given off a moldy smell. This unit has been kept on 24 hours a day for...

Pros: Very inexpensive, effective.

Cons: Poor collection plate design and surface area.

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for an effective air ionizer for a cheap price, you can't go wrong with the the XJ-2000.

Review: I really wanted to buy the Ionic Breeze Quadra from Sharper Image, but that price! $350 seemed waaay too steep. When I discovered the XJ2000 on the web while searching for a lower price on the Quadra (impossible), I was skeptical, but for the price,...

Pros: It generates ions. Some odor removal

Cons: No air purification

Review: I am using this for about 5 months. I don't think this is a right product for air purification. The collection plates of this unit happens to be the cleanest place in my room. Means, it does not collect any dust or any particles. So don't expect it...

Pros: Inexpensive, quiet, easy to clean the filter plates, work great for odors.

Cons: None that I can think of.

The Bottom Line: Great product to address ODOR issues: pet, human/body, cooking. Not for filtering particulate matter.

Review: I purchased two of these units in 2003, when they were branded Neo-Tec, hoping to resolve an issue I had with pet dander (more specifically, fine, cockatoo feather dust.) It did not work and I would say it failed on that front. It did nothing for...

Pros: Silent, helps with allergies and asthma and odors.

Cons: Inconvenient to clean and does not cover much square footage.

The Bottom Line: Give this a try. You will definitely get your money's worth.

Review: I bought one of these about a year ago. I was skeptical because it was so small and so quiet. I put it in my bedroom about two feet from my bed. I really think it helps! I have cats that sleep on the bed and I am allergic to them. I think it also...

Pros: Love these purifiers. Works, cheap, small, what more do you want?

Cons: Haven't found any yet. Just don't pay over $50 for one.

The Bottom Line: Powerful little air purifier. Really works.

Review: I purchased a Surround Air Purifier for a Christmas present for my father. We pulled it out of the box, plugged the cord into the unit and into the wall and pushed the on button. In 30 minutes the bedroom smelled like a fresh rain shower. No sound...
