Already bought another, and plan to buy a third.
I got this Neem for two reasons. One is that I am committed to only buying organic and most of the Neem online isn't. Two is that I am recovering from adult Chicken Pox and some Hindu friends said that they used a Neem bath as part of their healing protocol. I found that four tablespoons in hot water in a pot and then poured into a bath is excellent for Chicken Pox symptoms. It seems to nourish, soften, and detox the skin. The Neem product is far fresher than some dried Neem leaves that I had bought before. The color is a very rich green. Until I used this product, the skin did not feel soft around the lesions. But even the Neem baths, the skin feels like it is healing. I alternated with an Epsom Salt and Baking Soda bath and the Neem bath. One of each per a day, and maybe another if needed. FYI, I am just sharing my experience and not making any recommendations for a treatment for anyone. If you are inspired to do the same, please assume responsibility for this choice or check with a health professional, and please double check with some online study.

Works Well
I got this unit when two other ionizers broke down because of a fan imbalance. This unit has no fan and runs very very quietly. It comes with a little tester to show it is working and with instructions on how to test the unit (it passed the test). It is important to actually read the instructions, because there are placement instructions for optimal use. It also came with a guarantee which I appreciate, showing the confidence that the maker had about his own product. I can feel the difference. It is placed in the kitchen and it needs to work hard. It is also dealing with a lot of smoke from recent forest fires.

Sturdy and Affordable Djembe/Doumbeck
The basic price of this drum is about 100 bucks. What is good about this drum is that the company Remo is committed to making "vegan drums" from recycled materials. I am trying to avoid using animal skins and yet have very good drums to play with. Remo has been very supportive of this wish. I like that this drum is tunable and comes with a wrench to tune it with. Although tuning wrenches are easily lost, I found a replacement wrench at Home Depot for only 2 bucks. There are some minor drawbacks, too to this drum. One is that it does not come with a carry case. I am currently putting a cloth shopping bag over the top to protect the skin some and hope to find an appropriate bag at a 2nd hand store (so far I have been successful with a little hunting and some patience in finding alternatives to the sometimes expensive drum bags). The second one is that the stem of the drum is a bit narrow. There is a special stand that goes under a doubeck that is too wide for this drum. I found a holder for this drum that was about $150 that is very good, but also cancelled out any economic savings I had from this purchase. The stand, though, is excellent and can be adjusted for a wide range of positions, both standing and seating. The shell is very strong and would be very hard to break. One more caveat: Unlike a lot of Djembes, this one has sound in the higher range. It is harder to get a deep bass sound from this, even with retuning it to be loose. It seems that a thick cloth wrapped drum head helps some in creating this (along with a looser tuning), but then you lose some of the high end. The sound range is more in accord with a Doumbek and I really see it more as a Doumbeck that plays in the higher Djembe range too. It seems to play best when it is a little tight, like most drumheads, and when tuned this way it is more like a Doumbek, and a very sturdy and good one. Most Djembes that I have played or had have had an easily reach into the bass zone. I still give it 5 stars because it is built very well.
