I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! It’s too bad Sharper Image no longer sells the Ionic Breeze. I love mine and recently purchased another one (used) and couldn’t be happier!! I have ordered a couple others and hope they are in just as good condition.

I purchased used Air Purifier because the price was reasonable. After I used it a few minutes I noticed that this item seems less air flow compare with the same brand but slightly different types of purifier(I have two other machines) which I purchased from the different sellers over 5 years ago. I would not recommend it.

This unit is COMPLETELY quiet, even on the highest setting, and can only be heard by literally placing your ear on the unit itself. This air purifier has 3 settings; high, medium and low. Although it gives you the option, there really isn't much of a point for putting it on a lower setting except for energy conservation because it is totally quiet. There is a cleaning indicator LED to remind you when to clean it, however, it is relatively useless because when the unit starts humming, then you clean the filter and it is silent again. When the moment of truth came and it was time to clean the filter, I was curious as to what I would find. The plates looked like a dust and dirt magnet. Everything from hair to smoke particles stuck to the plate. After cleaning, It turned a 1' X 1' Sham-wow completely black. This is when I truly became impressed with the purifier that it was able to eliminate this much pollutants from the air after only a week. This prompted me to get a smaller one for my brother who suffers allergies, and he noticed significant improvement in his lung function after about 2 weeks! The Ionic Breeze requires no costly filters or parts, but does require you to clean the filter with a damp cloth. This is a small price considering that a HEPA filter could run you about 30 dollars. I am a smoker and I bought this unit to clean the air in my small 13X13 room. This unit is rated to clean areas of (about 270-370 sq ft. I think?) much larger so I figured this would be a good buy. Even though (noisy) competitors like Oreck claim that you must move the air to clean it, the Ionic Breeze seems to prove this wrong. Smoke clears out from my room with this unit in about 20 minutes and the air is very pleasant to breathe, even for a non-smoker. When a non-smoker came into my room shortly after smoking a cigarette, the non-smoker did not believe that I had just smoked a cigarette in the room. Despite it's effectiveness against smoke, it has a few drawbacks. If you are a smoker, you will have to clean the collection plate about once every 1-2 weeks. This doesn't bother me too much but its something to be aware of. When blowing smoke at it, the Ionic Breeze does not seem to have any affect at all on the visible smoke, unlike say a conventional filtered air purifier. This however, does not stop the Ionic breeze from eliminating the smell (and eventually the visible smoke after slightly longer) This unit is the perfect size to go almost anywhere. It is about 3 feet tall and will fit in most anywhere in your home. Some people like box units, but that is simply a matter of preference To summarize: Pros: Easy to clean collection plates No expensive filters to buy Silent operation Effective against smoke/allergy causing particles Does not generate heat (my room is terribly hot due to lots of other electronics) Reduces dust build up Neutral: Tower design (about 3 feet tall) Doesn't move the air much (external fans/ceiling fans help, but add noise) Cons: Requires frequently cleaning of the filter Cleaning LED is almost useless Machine will hum when it needs to be cleaned Horribly overpriced (I bought mine used)Read full review
I was a bit skeptical when I bought this unit. Not because it was used, but because of the horror stories I've seen online. Well let me tell you, I have a small office about 10'x12' and two people smoking inside. When we're done for the night in the office, we leave the breeze running and in the morning wake up to an office that you cant even tell is smoked in. There is a catbox for our kitties in the office as well, and before the ionic breeze quadra, we had a bit of a kitty poo oder. Well, not anymore, the breeze has taken care of that too. This is an awesome unit for sure. On the other hand, there are some things that I would have like to seen on this unit such as a fan, a UV lamp, and better availability of replacement parts. Now that I've done some checking around, I would have went with the GP model which is their newest one. Still lacking an internal fan, but hey it still works great. I'd definately buy it again, and recommend this to pet owners and smokers alike.Read full review
I've owned 2 of this model since 2003 and love them! They miss the Excellent rating because the little plastic parts that glide along the wires are relatively easy to break off. However, I contacted Sharper Image (while they were still a viable company) and was told that these parts were not essential for the unit to function properly. I've taken mine completely apart and cleaned them and they continue to work great. We have cats and smokers in the house and these units keep the house smelling fresh. I've got one in my living room and one in the bedroom. This one will go in the basement. I've also won two more for my mom's house, as she loves the way mine work.
