They pick some nasty black crap out of the air (looks exactly like soot) must be all the diesel and pollution we get here in Los Angeles.  |
In THEORY the sharper image Ionice Breeze works, however, Tests have shown that the product is not effective by itself in an average size room. Same for the
Bathroom version and the
Car version that are sometimes given as a promo for free to sell the larger Unit. These smaller ones are worthless too.
Sharper image loves to show off the metal plates that collect dirt and get
black. Everyone goes
wow, is that what I was breathing??
But it is really not representative of the big picture.
Tests have shown yu would need an Ionic breeze the size of a Refrigerator with a multitude of metal plates
to "clean the air" of particulates in a typical size room.
Only
filter media type air purifiers actually trap and collect contaminants in the air, based on volume of recirculating air.
But, Sharper Image has been successful and made the
bulk of their profits
with this one product because they gambled and spent
SO much money on marketting.
Truly a success story for Sharper Image...their stocks reflect this directly.
Yet the product is way subpar for it's intended use!
So, many people feel this
expensive product is a household name in air purifiers. And feel it is an effective product.
Not!
Marketting at it's finest.
Google this, please don't take my word for it.
Many friends and neighbors have one and it is a catching fad due to mainly marketting , then word of mouth. And, quite frankly why wouldn't someone recommend something that costs this much.
It is almost a status product to have.
I would be embarrassed to say it sucks after spending $400. on it.
Yu would need like 5 of these Ionic Breezes plugged in for one room to become slightly effective.
It's just another Sharper Image Novelty Product.
I suffer year round allergies for my whole life, and I have researched this till I dropped ...looking for a remedy.
Trust me.
My spin on a very
off topic.
LT
BTW, from my experience with friends owning these I will say that it removes odors. Albeit an expensive deoderizer.
