Honeywell sells deionizing units that insert into ...
Strengths: Appears to work. This is not a hokey device.
Weaknesses: Large. Not quiet at high speed. Expensive.
Honeywell sells deionizing units that insert into the airflow stream of home air-based heating systems. Those units hold two deionizers. The people at Friedrich basicly decided to create a stand-alone deionizing unit that would use one of those rather substantial and proven honeywell deionizers. There is not much else to this unit: a fan to pump air through the deionizer, carbon filters at either end, some electronic controls, and a case. The choice of materials for the case, indicates that this is not a high-volume product, which is hardly surprising given its cost. It appears to work. I get pretty bad allergies during the autumn months. This unit seems to help.

Yes, it's that good
Summary: 5 Stars
This really is an outstanding air cleaner. It eliminates almost all my allergy symptoms. I've had mine for four years now, and it's as excellent as the day I bought it. I've run it 24/7 the entire time, and even put it on an A/V cart so I can easily move it from room to room occasionally.

I replaced the carbon filter once a couple years ago, but I really don't notice one way or the other on it. A room just doesn't smell any more if you let the cleaner run a while. Even when the carbon filter is depleted, the cleaner still makes a tremendous difference in a room's air.
Customer Review: Great Product, Owners Manual Missing Some Info
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this product for a bit over a week and it works very well so far. The cleaning directions in the manual aren't nearly as good as they could be. The Honeywell manual for products which use the same air cleaner cell suggests placing several water glasses on your lower rack in order to support the air cell, rather than just dropping it onto the tines. It also says to not use the dry cycle, as it will bake the dirt into the cell.
Customer Review: Very nice Unit
Summary: 5 Stars
Owned this unit for 2 months and has been working Great! Easy to clean with or without a dishwasher. By far the best money can buy compared to other Ion cleaners. Some customers have complained about noise on TV screen from the unit, I have had none of that.

Update: 10/10/05 Recived portable TV (casio EV-4500) TV has moderate to high RF interference from 0 to 20 feet from C90A. as far as I can tell certain itams my be affected by unit.

Pros: very quiet on all speeds. Very easy to clean and filters are very cheep compared to other brands e.g. Oreck. Consumer reports top pick. Very low O-zone level output. Moves lots of air. light on top showing that Ion cells working correctly.

Cons: this unit is very Big and ugly about 30lbs

Customer Review: Friedrich C-90A Air Purifier
Summary: 5 Stars
Friedrich C-90A Air Purifier is a 3 stage air cleaner that operates mainly on electronic filtering of indoor air. Very high marks by noted product review magazine. In use for one month, reliable so far.
Prefilter removes large dust particles.
Electronic filter removes almost all other particles.
Final carbon filter is for odor control. It must be replaced (quarterly?) to control odors. But unit will remove all dust etc without the charcoal filter.
Clean electronic filter weekly with water. Dry completely before using again. No other maintenance.
