Activeion Ionator HOM Cleaning Solution {Giveaway}

I'm probably the most skeptical person I know. I've always been wary of authority and people/products trying to pull the wool over my eyes with promises of miracles. So naturally I approached my review of the Activeion Ionator Hom cleaning solution, a product that uses ionized plain tap water for cleaning, with a roll of the eyes and a silent "yeah, right." Too good to be true.
Well it does seem to be true. At least as far as my eyes can tell. I did my homework on this product, not just in the testing environment (ie. my home) but by reading some testimonials online by reputable sources. The Ionator HOM was featured on the show The Doctors, with a positive review

The Activeion Ionator works by sending an electrical charge through plain water, ionizing it. The ionized water bonds to dirt and germs, and as you wipe the surface of the thing you are cleaning, the dirt sticks to the cloth.
Water returns to its unionized state in less than a minute.

Third-party testing of The Ionator HOM concluded that it completely inactivated the 2009 H1N1 influenze A virus, when the devices were used as directed. Did I mention that this is plain tap water?

I've been using mine to clean everything from our stainless fridge
check out the dirt that came off of it, just with plain, ionized waterand in other areas around the house. It worked really well on my glasses, which are always filthy. I'm surprised at how well it cleans, and though I don't have an independent lab here to test if it's killed germs, I choose to believe it is cleaning, at least in some way. The Ionator HOM is simple to use. You just charge the battery, add water, and push the trigger.

It is recommended that you wipe away dirt with a cloth and not reuse the cloth, since the cloth will contain the dirt and germs you just got rid of. That's the only difficulty I see with the product, having to dispose of or wash cloths whenever you wipe something down.

The two best things about this product are that 1.) it's safe to use around children and pets (it's just water) and 2.) it cuts back on the use of chemical cleaners, which saves our water supplies and our household budget. The possibilities for this in educational and hospital settings is really encouraging!

The Activeion website is an encyclopedia of knowledge and research on their products, so check it out for more info on the Ionator HOM and the other professional-grade models.

Can you say that Bill Nye showing how the ionator HOM is the coolest thing ever!

you can use this on Multiple Surfaces such as: Glass, Stainless Steel, Natural Stones (Granite, Marble, etc.) Carpet/Fabrics, etc.

From cleaning medical devices and computer chips to food processing plants, the technology to create ionized water through water electrolysis has been around for more than 50 years. In the past, water electrolysis has created two streams of water - negative and positive - which could not be combined. With the introduction of the ionator EXP™ hand-held sprayer, however, this is the first time both streams have been combined to work together to produce a general-purpose cleaner and sanitizer.

I learned that the Ionator has a long-lasting battery/battery life.

The unit takes approximately three hours to charge and one charge lasts for approximately three 8-hour days or 24 hours of continual use. By conservative estimates, the battery will last five years and the company says it will likely not require replacing during the product's lifetime. According to the manufacturer, if the battery does fail it will be replaced while the unit is still under warranty and possibly after that point.
