Both the ionic type and the oreck produce ozone, which is known to damage lung tissue. If you want to make a one time purchase, take a look at the Sun Pure SP-20C at http://www.allergy-relief-air-purifier.com/portable-air-purifiers.html. It is, by far, the best air purifier on the market. This is a one time purchase, which means you won’t be looking for another air purifier for years to come. Most of the air purifiers on the market are stripped down to make them affordable or are way over-priced for what you actually benefit. This unit has computerized controls, so you just set it on automatic and it operates according to the air quality in the room. You set it and forget it. Another item to check before you purchase is the actual filter. You will find copycats of the Sun Pure unit, but none of them have a hospital grade HEPA filter that is more than 1/4" thick. The replacement kit, which is the HEPA filter, 5 micron prefilter and two UV bulbs, is good for two years at a cost of $145.
