This is a small unit. It makes hardly any sound, and very little breeze. The blue LED doesn't seem to light up the whole device (some other reviewers said that it did; so, maybe the newer ones don't). It has an on/off button.
Anyway, I got this for the negative ions (not specifically for air purification).
First, I tried it out in my room. I noticed immediately that my hand felt drier in a new way after putting it front of the device. I don't know why it made my skin feel like that, but it let me know it was more than just a fan. It felt different than I had expected, but I noticed it was doing something to the air, and me (besides just drying my hand). So, I took it in the living room and set it beside me on a chair. I let it run for a while, and I really started to notice a big difference after about ten minutes. It made me feel like I was getting a lot more oxygen into my system, or something like that (except a lot better than it feels if you just breathe too much). It quickly reduced odors (at least temporarily; I have yet to try it longer on odors). It made my muscles feel ready to exercise. It made my feet feel kind of like they do when I'm barefoot in the grass (if I pointed it at my feet). It made my skin feel cooler (in a good way). It made me feel like I never wanted to stop breathing, it felt so good (after having it on in close proximity for a while). It made me feel more satisfied, happy, and at peace with myself.
Other reviewers talked about it making them feel jittery if they were too close to it for too long, and while I can see how it would make someone feel jittery, I enjoy it right next to me. You'll probably feel more jittery if you take deep breaths than if you take soft breaths.
Others mentioned a strange sound that it can make. Mine has been known to make a sound that sounds like that on occasion, but it's so quiet I haven't been bothered by it. My server's fan drowns out any sound this thing makes by far. According to at least one other reviewer, the situation can be remedied, though, if it bothers you.
I'd love to have one of these on while lifting weights or exercising. It really made my muscles feel ready to do stuff (and strong), and made breathing a pleasure (and cooled me down in a pleasant way). It feels better if I roll up my shirt sleeves and pant legs while in use.
My mom noticed a difference with this, too, she thought. I think she said she thought it felt easier to breathe. She was on the other side of the room with it going for a few hours.
This definitely seems to reduce my stress a lot. I feel less fatigue, less anxiety, and yeah. I could tell the difference when I went outside (I sensed that the negative ions from the ionizer weren't there, but I still felt pretty good having been exposed to them).
As for how well it helps me focus, I've been too distracted by how good I feel to evaluate that. ;) I've even squinted with satisfaction because of it; I hope you know what that's like. It's relaxing to me (although it can be energizing).
Most people probably aren't going to notice everything I listed. I tend to notice a lot of stuff pretty quickly, about lots of things, especially about how I feel; and, I'm sensitive to changes in feelings, chemicals, lights, microbes, etc.
This is a very small device. It doesn't look/feel cheap (AKA low quality) to me (a reviewer said it did), but it is plastic. The USB cord is short, but you can always use another one. Mine came with a USB to AC adapter. I use it.
I haven't had this long. I'm excited to try it while sleeping, and long-term.
I was at a friend's house a couple days ago; she had a big air purifier with an ionizing setting. I didn't notice the same things around it, although I did like it. My dad had an air purifier at his house, which I liked, but I didn't notice the same things around it, either (it wasn't an ionizer).

I have a mixed experience with this product.
I have a mixed review about this. On one hand, it does what it says it will do I believe. I feel the air is cleaner and easier to breathe. Although it feels like it dries out the air for some reason. I also do not detect any sort of ozone either, as ozone generators or even negative ion generators that produce ozone give me issues with my nose and eyes. I feel more energized using this for sure. I actually feel a tad bit jittery. It’s great for studying or trying to focus on something, and it does feel like it boosts my mood a bit too. BUT, I find that when I try to sleep with it, it keeps me awake oddly enough. I don’t feel as tired running this. It also later wakes me up due to noise. Another quick note about odors, it’s supposed to give-off no odors, or if you do smell something, it is supposed to smell like a fresh rain storm. I do not smell any sort of rain-storm odor from using this... I smell, nothing. It’s weird, but it strips every odor away. That’s a good thing. The build quality is decent too, and it even comes with a snazzy box and traveling pouch! Nice touch! Where I am a bit disappointed is the amount of noise it generates. I am okay with the fan noise, but it randomly makes an intermittent high-pitched squealing noise that makes keeping it on it the bedroom overnight impossible. I had to shut it off after only 3 hours in the bedroom. Even in my work office, it gets annoying and generates stares from others out of annoyance. It’s not super-loud, but loud enough that it gets bothersome. It’s hard to describe, and so I took a video and will upload it here for you to see. One video will be the normal noise of the unit, and the second longer video will show you the loud squelching noise. Another quick thing to note is that if you plug this near your computer, and you have an aluminum Apple computer, you will give yourself a mild shock every time your skin touches the computer. That’s no fault of the device, and common with any negative ion generator. Just something to keep in mind if you want to keep this on your desk. I don’t suspect you will have that issue with a non-metallic computer/device. I will probably keep this unit for the health benefits of preventing sickness, but if the noise gets worse, I may be forced to return this sadly. The size is great otherwise (it fits in the palm of your hand) and it is very sleek and modern looking. 3/1/18: EDIT - Spoke with Ryan from Pacific Ion and he recommended blowing a puff of air on the fan area with the unit off. Voilà, noise problem solved! Must have been a few flecks of dust on the emitter. I give this little guy 5+ stars now!
