Ran across this at a local store and quickly bought it. I had been using an old Sharper Image car ionizer which was partly broken, making weird noises, but still doing it's job. Unfortunately, my car window got smashed and car got robbed. Among the victims was the old ionizer. After cleaning the broken class and sending the car for some major cleaning, I noticed that the car was now smelling like ass from the cleaning solutions the car washers used. In fact, it started smelling like every old car your old uncle drove. Yes, that smell.
Plugging this sucker in (I plugged it into the rear socket, and turned it upside down to try and hide the bright blue light) and the next day viola, car smelled nice and fresh again.
I would recommend people place a little dehumidifier bucket in their car as well to get rid of moisture (as trapped moisture in the car will help fungus grow.. ie. bad if you have respiratory problems).
It does have a smell of ozone to it, so if you're sensitive to that, I suggest airing the car out a bit before you jump in, or remove the unit while using your car and only leave it on overnight. I'm guessing another advantage of the ozone production is that if someone in the car is sick, less chance if you catching whatever it is.. but that's really above and beyond what this product is meant for.
Anyway, for $10 it's definitely good. Seems to have more circuitry and be slightly better built then the old Sharper Image model. It should in theory last 2-3 years before the metal rusts out from cleaning up all the crap in your car.Get more detail about Wagan EL2022 Ionic Air Purifier.
