Let's clear the air!

At the New York Pet Show, I found out about the CritterZone.  This air purifier produces a natural, safe ionic flow to eliminate pollutants in the air, on surfaces and in fabrics.  Perfect to control kitty litter odors and pet odors in living areas, kitchens, nurseries, etc. Although it’s a very small unit, the inventor told me it could virtually eliminate odors, bacteria and other air pollutants for up to 800 square feet. I asked if there was a way for him give me a demo, and there was. He poured a touch of ammonia on a handkerchief and let me sniff it. That stuff has a powerful smell. Then he moved the handkerchief back and forth in front of the CritterZone for about 30 seconds. When he handed the hankerchief back to me, I could hardly smell the ammonia at all. There are two models. One plugs directly into an AC outlet and the other has a 10 foot AC cord so it can be moved away from an outlet. There is no on/off switch since they’re designed to run round the clock. $89.95.
