The ISOTRONIC ionizer made a very good impression in our test. As well as being easy to install in the socket, it impresses with its odorless and silent operation. The ionizer not only repels pests such as dust mites or bed bugs, but also purifies the air, as the ion technology releases several negatively charged ions that are supposed to purify the air. In addition, the technology used does not require the use of additional chemicals, which makes it safe for animals and people in the household.
Advantages
✅Triple protection
✅No use of chemicals
✅Silent
✅Easy to install/use
✅Family-run company
Disadvantages
❌blue LED can be unfamiliar when sleeping (especially if you have a very dark bedroom)

The ISOTRONIC ionizer arrived in a typical shipping box for our test. The box was undamaged and easy to open by removing the adhesive strip. The box contained the ionizer, which was wrapped in paper, as well as detailed operating instructions in 9 languages. This packaging method protects the product from scratches and dirt! In this case, the product was fully protected and the ionizer was therefore in perfect condition.
The packaging of the air purifier is completely recyclable.
The first impression of the ionizer is very good, as neither the product nor the packaging used was damaged.

Instructions for using the product can be found on the packaging and in the operating instructions. The contact information can be found on the box and the e-mail address can be obtained by scanning a QR code.
All in all, this is a very good way to send a product.

The ionizer from ISOTRONIC for makes a very good visual impression in our test. It has rounded corners and has no manufacturing defects. The casing of the ionizer is made of plastic, which is very comfortable to hold. The product also impresses with its low weight and sturdy workmanship. The product cannot be bent and retains its shape.
Information on sustainability can only be found for the packaging of the ionizer, as care was taken not to use any plastic. However, the manufacturer gives a two-year guarantee on the product.
This is what our practical test showed

*The maximum score is 100 points
We really enjoyed using the ISOTRONIC ionizer during the test. You can simply plug the ionizer into a socket to put it into operation. No further programming or settings are required for it to work.
As we installed the ionizer in the bedroom, we also tested whether the ionizer does not emit any audible noise for people, as stated. We can fully confirm this, as our tester was unable to hear any aud ible noise from the product despite having good hearing.
The effectiveness of the ionizer has been confirmed by the University of Milan. The manufacturer also explicitly points this out in the instructions.
However, the LED light was very bright for the tester, as he was only used to sleeping in dark rooms. After several nights, however, these initial difficulties subsided .
A great product all round.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good price-performance ratio | 95 points |
| Rating cut | Not meaningful, as only a few customer reviews are available | |
| Total | 95 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
Prices of up to €149.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €19.69.
