Last updated on April 19th, 2021

The starters

Clarifion GL-139 is a great compact negative ion generator that can clean your air for less than 50 bucks. A clean and simple pluggable device that has the aesthetic and performance. At only 4 x 6 x 2.9 inches size and light 4.8 lb weight, you can fit it anywhere in the room without being obstructive. If you are a frequent traveler like me, GL-139 fits in a backpack or luggage with relative ease.

Clarifion GL-139 negative ion generator is very easy to use and install. Just find a wall socket, plug it in and you’re on. The light blue LED light will let you know the device is working and you can leave it be. No confusing controls, fan speed adjustment, or timer needed in the setup. Just make sure you do not impede the airflow or place it close to flammable materials.

As for the build quality and durability, Clarifion GL-139 pluggable negative ion generator comes with a standard 1-year warranty that covers all manufacturing defects. It is CARB Certification (G-20-016) thus will not produce harmful ozone or chemical byproduct. You can safely leave it running all day without having to worry about fire hazard risk.

Airflow, speed, and CADR

Clarifion GL-139 is a pluggable negative ion generator so there is a limited air purification performance. At a small 150 square feet of purifying coverage, it is usable but you will need multiple units to cover an entire room. We recommended placing Clarifion GL-139 negative ion generator in the bedroom, bathroom, staircase, basement, or storage room that has very little space to spare. No CADR here given GL-139 is a filterless device that does not rely on filters to clean the air.

What’s inside count

Clarifion GL-139 negative ion generator can help to keep the air fresh and clean by removing airborne dust, smog, smoke, pet dander, and germs. The air ionization technology generates up to 10 million pcs/ cm^3 of Negative ions output. The diffused ions will negatively charge airborne pollutants ions in the air causing them to bond. The bonded ions will then fall on a surface due to the increased weight allowing you to swept or vacuum away the contaminants. The key difference between an air ionizer and an air purifier is the latter relies on a fan to pull the air in through a series of filters to capture. It is very efficient but costly to run as the filters require replacing.

Keep it down

Being a filter free device with no motor fan, Clarifion GL-139 Negative Ion Generator has a super low noise operation. Just plug it at your desire location and let it do its thing. After some time, you will barely remember its existence. Supporting the whisper-quiet operation is the AC120V low power output at less than 1 watts of electricity per hour. Compared with other home appliances, running Clarifion GL-139 all-day will not have an impact on your electricity bill. The running cost is around $0.11 dollars a month or a low $1.3 dollars yearly with 24 hours of runtime.

At what cost

At around 40+ for a single unit Clarifion GL-139, it is well worth the price considering its offering. The compact form is best suited for those that need limited air cleaning in the bedroom, bathroom, hallway, kitchen, living room, staircase, office, and garage at a cost-friendly measurement. Another good thing about Negative Ion Generator is the filterless setup that does not need replacing. No expensive filtration or light bulb changes for the rest of the ownership. Still, we recommend getting multiple units to cover the entire home due to the limited purifying coverage.
