This price was about mid-range for equivalent air purifiers. This model is built with electronically charged metal plates, which are used as a filter instead of needing a replaceable filter.

Each came with a cleaning cloth for cleaning the metal plates, which is very easy to do. After cleaning I just throw the rag into the washing machine and it is ready to go for the next time. The two I purchased stand about 2 1/2 feet tall, with a black body and dark brown panel at the top. They blend very well with most home decor, and do not stand out at all like some of the competitions models. The controls that are on the top are very basic and self explanatory. One is for On/Off/On GP and the other is for Lo/Medium/High. There is also a light that comes on to tell when it needs to be cleaned, although you can also tell it needs to be cleaned when you hear a slight static sound coming from it. Other than when it needs to be cleaned, it is completely silent. I am impressed with the amount of dust and dirt that the purifier is able to rid the air of. Of the two I purchased, one stopped working (would not turn on) about two years after I purchased it. The other one is still working as well as the day I bought it.

I am giving an overall rating of 4 on this model. The one that is still working gets a 5, as I think it does a great job, but the one that lasted only two years gets a 3, because I feel that for the price they should both still be working. 1 posts, read 4,922 timesair duct cleaning telemarketing torontoSharper Image Germicidal Bulbshunter air purifier 30379 Topbulb stocks a wide variety of replacement Sharper Image UV-C germicidal bulbs. honeywell hfd-120-q tower quiet air purifier reviewsIn most cases, we can find the Sharper Image germicidal bulb for you at a competitive price.

The information in this article is brought to you by Absolute Air Cleaners and Purifiers Inc. At Absolute Air Cleaners we get a lot of customers who used to own Ionic Breeze Air Purifiers. Many of these people were fooled by Sharper Image’s expert marketing tactics to believe that they were buying a product that would improve the IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) of their home. The real truth about the Ionic Breeze by Sharper Image is quite different. The Ionic Breeze states that it is the quietest air purifier on the market and indeed it is very quite. That is because there is no actual fan in it. That means there is no way for the unit to filter the dirty air in the room and remove it from the environment. The only thing it does is collects a very small amount of particles with its small collector plate attached to the front of the unit. This collector plate only attracts particles from about 1/8” away meaning the rest of the room is left completely unfiltered. To top it off the small collector plate gets dirty relatively fast and ceases to function all together at that point.

Dust, allergens, mites, pollen, dander, and smoke are all left to float through the air without proper fans and ventilation in an air purifier, which is why the Ionic Breeze is not a wise purchase. On top of the poor ability to clean the air the Ionic Breeze also emits Ozone. Ozone can be a huge irritant for people with asthma and other lung diseases. It is not our intention to bad mouth Sharper Image as we think they have other great products, however the Ionic Breeze is not one of them and we want all of our customers to be aware. Important Update About Sharper Image After filing for bankruptcy The Sharper Image name has been purchased by a joint venture of several companies that include Hilco Comsumer Capital, Gordan Brothers, Bluestar Alliance, and Camelot Venture group. These companies are now using their online website to continue to sell the low quality air cleaner Ionic Breeze. They are heavily marketing the Ionic Breeze on their website and using misleading information to gain new customers.
