AirTamer A302 Small Personal and Portable Air Purifier

I have a temporary medical condition that makes me especially vulnerable to germs and viruses. Many warned me against flying in airplanes because of the poor air quality, so I purchased this because there is no way to fully avoid airborne viruses. I have to get in elevators. I need to shop. I have been in restaurants when people started coughing or sneezing. I can't stay at home. So, I wash my hands frequently, try not to touch my eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands and I wear this air purifier. When people start coughing, I look down at it and I am reassured by the little blinking blue light. I have not gotten sick since wearing it and I have been wearing it for a few months now. The rope it hangs by was sometimes irritating at first. It feels like wool. Also, for a short time, when I wore the clamp against my bare skin, I felt little pulsations which I did not feel comfortable about, so I turned the ionizer around so that the blue light was towards my skin. Actually, it seemed the flow of air from the product had a better chance of reaching my face when the clamp was turned away from my body. I do love this product. My husband has the newer, more expensive version with the charger and he loves that one. I'm tempted to buy it because it is rechargeable. Changing the batteries are as easy as 1-2-3 and they are inexpensive at Walmart and Amazon.com. Unless I accidentally leave my ionizer on when I am not using it, my batteries last for weeks. Of course, unlike my husband, I don't typically wear this thing unless I am going out to see the public. He leaves his on the nightstand throughout the night. I'm not as happy to do that with batteries that need replacing. So, I am torn between the two products. But, I'd certainly give this one an A+++ rating.

Here's my complete factual experience with this product. You can draw your own conclusions. I originally bought the Airtamer for use on airplanes, as most do. I have flown Delta and American, and there has never been an issue with wearing it. Before I bought it I used to get sick regularly after traveling. In the years since I bought it, this has never happened again. I am also a teacher and getting older and more prone to illness. Two years ago I got sick 5 times during the school year. Last school year I got sick 5 times before Christmas. So, I decided to try wearing the Airtamer at school as well as on airplanes, and began Jan. 1, 2014. It is now Dec. 3, 2014, and I have not had a cold since (knock wood!). I also noticed that, since I started wearing it daily, my usual allergies have been diminished. I find that if I have an allergy attack and turn on the Airtamer, the attack usually goes away with 10 minutes, often less. So, there you have it. Perhaps I'm just engaging in a big false cause fallacy, but it seems to me that it has worked pretty darned well. **Update 2/7/16: It has been more than 2 years now since I started wearing this every day. I'm superstitious and don't want to jinx it, so I'll just say that the story I tell above, as it relates both to allergies and to lack of illness, is, so far, unchanged.

I use this for the obvious reasons in terms of viruses that float around. I also use it to help a little bit with cleaning product odors or heavy pollen. I still have to play with it a little bit to get the adjustment just right on the various types of blouses I wear. I like that you can adjust the cord according to what you are wearing and whether you have it attached to any of the material of the clothing you wear so far so good. The batteries seem to be holding out well and I already picked up some extra batteries for the time that these need replacing. I find I must be attentive to people around me in the event that anyone is wearing a heart monitor. Although it draws a little attention to yourself, it’s a good idea to ask if you’re going into a room with a few people in it if anyone has it, a pacemaker or other electrical device that is sensitive to other electrical devices most people can see it on me and are wondering what it is anyway so they notice before I do—It’s a good thing to have. One caution is that if you wear any kind of metal jewelry, you have to be sure that there’s a little bit of distance between the cord of this device and your jewelry, so that they don’t touch you’ll know right away if that happens because you’ll get teeny electric shocks That’s easy to fix when you move your stuff around a little bit. I tend to wear medals, so I have to watch this a little bit more than probably most people. It is not been a huge issue. I would rather be protected from germs, then to worry about moving my jewelry into a different spot or hanging it differently. I actually like that it uses batteries because I have to remember to put devices on chargers. Since we have been having power outages around here lately, I don’t have to worry about when I can get it charged, or if it will be charged up enough when the power goes out; there’s no issue.

This air purification device was purchased to provide assistance at a time when smoke from California forest fires was creating poor air quality for days, weeks and months at a time--but little did we realize just how effective this seemingly small device truly is. The difference this personal air purifier makes is dramatically noticeable, even when other air filters are in use, which I find astonishing and remarkable. The AirTamer literally knocks all particulates out of the air in the immediate area, leaving no chance of any germs, airborne allergens, or particle pollution getting through at all. The portability of the AirTamer makes it possible to take it everywhere we go. One AirTamer makes a huge difference for two people, if you happen to stick close together, so the air inside your car on long trips or when dining at a restaurant feels fresh and pristine. The remarkable thing to me on a very personal level is that after 40 years of struggling with seasonal allergies, not to mention the more recent addition of also struggling with breathing when tiny airborne particulates are floating around as well, one tiny device could so completely clear the air. I realize now that if my doctors had recommended this device to me when I was first diagnosed with allergies as a teenager in high school, I would have been able to breathe easily without ever having had to get allergy shots, take allergy prescription medication, or suffer through decades of allergy suffering. Of all the air filters and air purification systems I've ever seen, this is most dramatically the best one I've had personal experience with. The only slight downside is that when wearing this device, some people may be sensitive to feeling the tingly electric pulse through the cord or near the sparking area when it pulses regularly from time to time. If this is a problem, one can simply set the device nearby with cord stretched out behind. Because of the health benefits of such life-changing nature, I'd give this device ten stars if amazon allowed it; extremely highly recommended, especially for allergy sufferers or anyone wishing to keep air clear around them during 'flu season' or when surrounded by people who are sick.

UPDATE: I decided to take a break from using this product to see if it truly made a difference. I gave it a few days. I did not feel different. Upon turning it back on to use again, it would not turn on. The blue light would not come on, and I felt no airflow when I placed the bristles near my wetted lips (as instructed). I changed out the batteries, thinking they had died. Installed them correctly and it still would not turn on. Very disappointed in this, for the price tag. The concept is cool, but either I got a defective unit or it just doesn’t work. I haven’t noticed a difference. I still get chest tightness, a stuffy nose and allergy symptoms. The bristle placement is also awkward. If it touches anything - shirt, hair - it’ll stop working.

Upon getting sick after nearly every crowded church service lately, I decided to try the AirTamer A302. Years ago my husband, being surrounded by smokers at the time, had used a desk-sized ionizer at work to purify the air, so we thought I should try the AirTamer with similar technology. It really works! I haven't gotten sick once since wearing it, for about 6 weeks so far. My husband tested it at home and it did remove smoke, so the sense of it's having banished germs is likely not a placebo effect. ================ Update May 2023 It and a similar device from another manufacturer put out so little ionization after less than 100 hours that we could no longer detect it. Bought a 3rd one from IGOKOTI (Amazon). We can smell the ionization when it is near our noses. We expect to buy a new one every 100 hours of use. Far less expensive than AirTamer $190 model that allows you to buy replacement brushes.

I have severe asthma and allergies, so bad I have been house bound for days, weeks even months. My husband suggested I try one of these, at this point what did I have to lose. I have had this for a month now and I am beyond happy with it. I wear it constantly and have it on my nightstand when I sleep. I no longer cough, loss my voice, have no engery, or have to visit my doctor every month. I have not felt this good for years, I even had my husband build me a deck off the house, so I can finally sit outside and enjoy the beauty of the mountains. I have just ordered a second one, just in case. I do have to say that the batteries only last a week or so, I buy them 50 at a time. For me it's a small price to pay, for my quality of life back.

I'm allergic to so many different chemicals that traveling is often miserable. Perfume. Scented hand lotion. Just about every cleaning chemical on the market. But wearing this air purifier has helped me significantly on my last couple of trips--I had fewer reactions to my hotel room, and less hayfever outside. The name "Filter Stream" gives the impression that this air purifier is going to blow a stream of air up at your face, but that's not how it works: it silently creates negative ions and releases them into the air around you. The cloud of negative ions it generates protect you from the pollen, dust, and volatile chemicals. The only way you can tell it's working is the little blue light that comes on--you can't feel or smell the negative ions it's releasing. But it does seem to work. I now consider it an essential travel item.

bonne emmission

EDITED (1) The emissions of this cheaper AirTamer are 2 million Negative Ions per cm3, whereas their A320 produces 2.1 million and A310 rechargeable produces 2 million - the same as mine which costs less. The AirTamer A315 produces 2.2 million, but being rechargeable giving 40 to 50 hours per charge! But it costs a lot more. EDIT (2) Furthermore, DO NOT CUT the AirTamer A302's cord because the cord is an effective part of the device's ion span. Some have, just to clip it to their shirt ;pocket, but a cut cord reduces the ion's emissions severely. My husband stupidly did it, so he is buying a new one for Christmas 2021. Thank you for reading this important edit. Now mine is an old fashioned design, but it works very well and only costs £59. If you check out the AirTamer site, 'Compare Models', you will realise that this version is far cheaper and just as good. But it is up to you. I use 2 x Panasonic CR2025 Lithium coin cells which powers this version continuously for one whole week which at 24/7 = 168 hours continuous use! Panasonic's CR2025 are very cheap, and last a very long time. Since buying last November 2020 this air purification device has worked well every day. IMO, at £59 this version is far the least expensive, yet just as powerful. This is why I recommend it so highly because my hay fever and other nasal allergies are now non-existent.. I am not a paid 'shill'; I bought it myself. So this is my update for19th November 2021. Thank you for reading my latest Edit! - - - - - - - - - Years ago I entered the living room of a friend I'd been staying with and sat in front of the fireplace. Immediately I was aware their in the room felt vibrant; like how the air felt when sitting by a waterfall, or, after a thunderstorm had finished. The air felt fresh, quite amazing. My friend pointed to a device on the mantelpiece, calling it a negative ionizer. Years later I encounter AirTamer's 302 Personal Ionizer and bought this battery version - and wow! All my stuffed-up nose feelings vanished! No more sneezing, runny nose - nothing! And my husband's asthma improved when he was sitting within my 3ft 'bubble', or negative ionized air! It's made an incredible difference! I chose this lithium coin-cell battery version first. For £59 it's absolutely first class - actually is cheaper bought from Amazon here than other UK retailers. And if it proves to continue though it does look a bit dated - nevermind about that because it works! Then next year if all goes well, I shall buy its up-rated rechargeable version. £59 is money well spent, though if it hadn't been for that experience in my friend's home I might have not believed in it. Well, I honestly say it is brilliant! Within the first two minutes of turning it on and placing the ionizer around my neck on its (adjustable) lanyard, I immediately felt a marked, fresh difference in air quality! Note: The cord of this AirTamer is electrostatic, so DO NOT cut it - the cord itself is also how this personal air purifier actually works. I definitely recommend!

Werkt uitstekend

I love this! Used it on four 14 hour flights. On one of the flights I didn't get sick even with people around me who were coughing and sneezing the whole flight.

商品確かに受け取りました。思ってたように大変気に入りました。梱包も丁寧でありがとうございました。今後も機会があればよろしくお願いいたします。当方医療関係でコロナクラスター頻回に発生しましたがこれを使用しているせいか未だ感染しておりません。電池交換のためのカバーの外し方が馴れないとなかなか難しいです。
