Any standard HEPA filter will do a better job than the ionic breeze. It's an electrostatic precipitator, so it produces superoxide anions (O2-) which become attracted to dust parti…

Also, the ionic breeze produces ozone, which is bad for your lungs.

I see it as being a lot like a "bug zapper." You get the immediate and satisfying effect of seeing the bugs get zapped (or with the Ionic Breeze, you see the dust collect on the bl…

question: how does the ORECK air purifier stack up. it uses a grid like the sharper image one, but it's also fan driven, which moves a hell of a lot of air faster than the ionic br…

You could always try cleaning your room, as opposed to letting an air filter try and filter all the trash that accumulates. Or buy one from a local store, where you can also buy r…

I ask my doctor if it would help at all with allergies and he said no.

A standard HEPA Air cleaner/filter (bought at a department store) did wonders for my brother-in-laws allergies.

consumer reports reviewed air cleaners, and their review had a sidebar about these "ionic breeze" type cleaners. the verdict was that they don't work since the airflow through them…

I threw mine away after I noticed every time I fired it up for a few days I would have worse asthma and more trouble breathing. I am currently in the market for a new air purifier…

My wife and I have considered purchasing the Ionic Breeze, But never did. We had something similar before, the ozone smells like chlorine and can be annoying. Consumer reports ha…
