Ionic breeze air purifier
Many of us have seen commercials or infomercials for the popular Ionic Breeze
air purifier made by The Sharper Image. I relished the concept of a filter-less
air purifier and rushed out to buy one at the local Sharper Image retail store.
I brought the Ionic Breeze air purifier home to try for the first time and was
excited to see the results. First I placed the Ionic Breeze in the small office
room in my home. The door to this room stays closed most of the time. I
immediately noticed a difference to the smell and quality of the air in that
room.
However, when I tried to use the Ionic Breeze air purifier in my larger living
room area the results were not as spectacular. Honestly, I didn’t notice much of
a difference at all. The results in the living room area were further confirmed
when I rinsed the collection rods.

Whereas when the air purifier was used in the office and the collection plates
were caked with pollutants, when I removed the collection plates for cleaning
after use in the living room, there was very little debris to be cleaned.
After buying several Ionic Breeze air purifiers and placing them around my home,
it was clear that this wasn’t going to work either. The problem was the lack of
air movement. The air purifier could only clean the limited amount of air that
the tiny fan was moving through the purifier.
After reviewing several customer reviews and more comprehensive performance
reports on the Ionic Breeze and other filter-less air purifiers my theory was
confirmed. In order for a filter-less air purifier to effectively cleanse the
air, it simply must be capable of moving sufficient quantities of air.
There are increasingly more filter-less air purifiers that are
equipped with more powerful and efficient fans. These are much more effective at
overall air purification than the Ionic Breeze air purifier.
If you’re interested in purchasing a filter-less air purifier, I would suggest
that you take the time to review various consumer reports and customer reviews
in order to make a decision about which air purifier will best met your needs.
There are several free consumer interest websites at which you can access and
learn about others’ experiences with particular air purifier models. If these do
not meet your needs, there are also some premium sites that offer more
comprehensive performance statistics.
