Product Description
Pollution gets everywhere - even in the home. Tobacco smoke, pet fur and house dust mites pollute the air we breathe. There is no escape by opening the windows as the fresh air we breathe can contain the same irritants as well as traffic fumes and tree and flower pollen.
This Ionising Air Purifier is designed to improve air quality by reducing pollutants and allergy triggers that can cause asthma and allergy attacks.
It has an air filter which helps to remove impurities. This is backed up by ionisers, which help to reduce the irritants in the air.
What is an Ioniser?
An ioniser (negative ion generator) uses high voltage to ionise (electrically charge) the molecules in the air. Negative ions (anions) are particles with one or more extra electrons, conferring an overall negative charge to the particle. Cations are the opposite to ions - positive ions missing one or more electrons, resulting in an overall positive charge.
Ionisation removes pollutants from the air using this molecular attraction including dust, fumes, fungus, pollen, odours, fibres, smoke, soot and other microscopic airborne particles.

This product is one of the best I have had. I ordered a more expensive plug in one which was 5 x the price and it didn't do half the job this one does. Although a bit noisier than the more expensive products it is extremely effective for clearing the air of dust, smoke and pet dust. I would strongly recommend this product, however you must clean the filter everyday to stop a build up which will affect the working of the product. You can buy these cheaper from some stores but I am disabled and don't get out much so ordered this and it was delivered within 2 days.

The low price of this item belies the quality of the product and I imagine people choosing more expensive products because we are brainwashed in that way.
The very simple design of the Lloyds machine is outlined by another reviewer and it would be useful if some reviewers re-visited the Amazon site to report on long term use.
I am on my second one and can testify that ionisation and filtration is sufficient for an average urban living room. The manufacturers could improve the ionising power by using two strips and this would act as a fail-safe -- much as Rio's models still work quite well with 4 of the 6 'needles' out of action.
Whereas Rio and other needle ionisers are passive, the strength of the Lloyds is in throughput so that heavy irritants are caught in the washable filter so the air passing back into the room is cleaner air to be ionised. Needle types are easier to 'see' in action from the dust around the bases but if one cleans the Lloyds filter every few days that is where most dust is found.
Under the fan side of the Lloyds unit one sees finer dust, demonstrating the dual action of the device.
Tobacco and pet smells do not disappear but the air is significantly fresher under test conditions and the design of the unit allows placement where there are smokers and pets with demonstrable results.
The fan can be mildly noisy when bedding-in but soon it is much quieter than such as computer fans.
As long as the filter is cleaned regularly the Lloyds ioniser will give long service.

Review problem.
This item is a gift for a friend - it is difficult for me to review the product, other than to say she is using it and seems pleased with it.

Purify your air
It works, is relatively silent, and does the job. Frankly I'd have appreciated a more sophisticated item, with different air speeds. But it is inexpensive.

Good Value
This air purifier works very well. Its quite small and not too ugly to have on display; however it is a bit noisy so perhaps not recommended for leaving on overnight.

A little disappointed
Neat small unit. Does not seem at all effective but this may be because our bedroom is quite large. Too noisy for me and can't sleep when it's on. Read more
