Good product, small quirck.
product is great but has one flaw, the covers on the top and bottom of the filter element need to drain water easier as it is cleaned by washing in the dishwasher were water enters but does not easily leave. creating long dry times and arching of electricity if not fully dry. this ruined the first one i bought, and causes me to, on occasion, remove the covers myself and dry them by hand to make the unit more quickly useable. other than that, it does clean the air, remove odors, is inexpensive to operate and looks good, although a choice of colors would be nice. and an offering of the old GP hybrid model would have me buying again.
Allergy gone!
I breath easier
Clean Air here we come
I have two of the air cleaners, one in the master bedroom and one in the living room. Fans are a little noisey if they are on any level but low, if fans are on high, be prepared for the cleaning light to come on more sooner than later and when that light comes on, it makes a extremely loud snapping noise, kind of startles you at first. I cleaned them in my whirlpool bathtub with jets going, not sure if they are really clean as clean light came on within a day or two after cleaning. I really liked the previous Sharper Image Ionic Breezes the way they cleaned the wires, I didnt have to clean those machines for 2 weeks at a time, these new ones can be more often having to clean them or just turn on the on and off button once and the light goes out for another day or so if needed. Takes forever to dry once you have washed them too.
It works!
The fall allergens have been brutal this year. We bought two of these air purifiers - 1 for the living room, and 1 for the bedroom. What a difference they have made! We noticed a remarkable improvement in air quality within minutes, and our stuffy noses opened. The only con is that we have had to wash the air filters at least once per week, and it takes quite a long time for them to dry, as they tend to hold water. Other than that, it is fantastic.
I would buy this product again.
We had one for 10 years and it quit work about 6 months ago. We didnt have a choice but to buy another, due to my wife having difficulty breathing. With two smokers and two cats the air was heavy, thick and had an order to it. The Ionic Comfort Air Purifier started helping within a couple of hours of plugging it in. We would also like to get one for the bedroom. Ionic Comfort Air Purifier is well worth the price!! My in-laws also bought one after visiting our home.
Clears the Air - Fast!
I live in an older apartment complex and the ventilation system is not great and you can always smell what your neighbor is cooking for dinner. My new neighbor is a chain smoker and the odor was drifting through the vents. I figured it would cost more to move than what I would spend on the Ionic Breeze and I am thrilled with the results. The entire 650 sq ft apt is cleaned in under 10 minutes! I highly recommend this product for anyone who suffers from second-hand smoke allergies. It is so quiet and the gentle humming sound along with the purified air help me get a great nights sleep. I only wish I had purchaed this years ago.
Working great!!!!
I live in the desert and there is alot of dust. I have seen a differents in the amount of dust that is in the house.
Iconic Air Purifier
I have mine in the bedroom because I was so stuffed up I couldnt sleep and now I do and it doesnt keep me awake, its so quiet. But it has to be 24 " from a wall and furniture on either side of it and so it sits in the middle of the room and I do not enjoy this feature. I wanted it to blend in to my bedroom and not be the fogel point. Would I get rid of it - not on your life !
Would buy again
We love it for any room it does a great job.
We do worry about cleaning because it says
Be careful not to bend wires & they are fragile.
Would definitely like to have another one.
Works fine!
I use this product in my kitchen. It keeps the air fresh and efficiently removes any smells from cooking. Keeps air fresh and is very quiet. Easy to clean filter, which needs to be done infrequently!
Bought 2 of them
The boxes arrived in perfect condition and the air purifiers were well-packaged. We purchased 2 of these units for use at our dusty 2nd home, which is located in the Arizona desert off a dirt road. I unpacked them and easily set them up in the master bedroom and the study. I left them running on a medium high rate for a week and noticed a decrease in the amount of dust when I cleaned, so they seem to be doing what I intended them to do.
My only complaint is that they are a little noisy on speeds over 4 or 5 (and the speed goes up to 10). It is so quiet in our house that I needed to turn the bedroom one down to 2 at night in order to sleep. (but I need complete quiet and complete darkness to have a good nights sleep, so this probably wouldnt be an issue for most people). The sound of the one in the study didnt seem to bother my husband.
I havent cleaned the "filter grid" yet, so I cant comment on the ease of doing that.
Ionic Comfort Air Purifier
Easy to clean and runs very quiet
So far so very good.
I run this air purifier all the time except when it is the array is drying. I love it that I can simply wash the arrays, keeping clean and activei is where it is at. I like the feeling of clean air so much I may need to get one for my classroom as well.
A product that does what it says it will
Bought the first one for myself for usage in the Living room where I spend much of my time. Recently purchased 2 more as my Wife came down with COPD. One for the Family room where she spends her time and the compact unit for our bedroom. It is Quiet, easy to operate and clean the filter, attractive looking. The price may seem a little high to some but anything I have ever purchased from Sharper Image has lived up to the advertisement. I rated this 4 stars as I find it very hard to call anything Perfect, although this seems close.
We love our Sharper Image air purifier.
Use in the bedroom to help allergies. It immediately worked. I did not wake up with a headache!! Great.
Reading the book. . a little afraid of cleaning filter, sounds like it is kind of delicate. But. .havent gotten to that point and it might not be a problem at all. I love my little air purifier from Sharper Image and I love this one too.
Ionic breeze
Built much better than any previous ionic breeze, I have owned all of them. The new product looks like it might even last ten or more years. I have serious allergy problems and the new ionic breeze is easy to use and easy to clean. I have two,one in living room and one in bedroom.
Not sure if I would buy this again
This unit is big and bulky.
It seems to be doing OK for the room it is in.
I would buy these again. Well worth it.
Bought these to replace my old Ionic Breeze which I loved but couldnt use any more because they had become too noisy. Slightly noisier than the old model because of the fan running all the time but not bothersome. Seems to clean the air just as well or better. Only complaint is the cost. Yes, its in line with other top of the line air cleaners but purchasing 3 for the house still hurts! Maybe they should have a volume discount. Would absolutely recommend these to anyone with allergies. Saves me from having to take antihistamine at all!
Make this the Air Purifier for you
I bought this to replace my cheap air purifier that bit the dust. I love to read and have a huge bookshelf in my room. I also have allergies that dont go well with the books. My old air purifier took care of that and made everything great. Unfortunately, the price of the filters got to be outrageous. With the no filter air purifier from sharper image, the higher cost is easily overlooked when you dont have to buy another filter again. Ive taken the stainless steel filter out and let it soak in the tub to clean off. It says you can clean it in the dishwasher but I dont recommend that because there are very fine wires that could easily break. Soaking it takes care of that just as well, just add a little bit of soap. Overall, this product keeps my room smelling fresh and clean with no musty smell from the books.
My room is so Fresh Now..
You cant believe how dirty the air is in your house until you see it. My room smells so fresh now and my allergys are so much better from having this in my bedroom. I love it and have bought one as a gift for my parents for Christmas.
So Quiet!
Not only is this air purifier quiet - it really does the job of cleaning the air which I can see the dirt right on washable filter - glad I am not breathing all that in.
wonderful performance, air quality is ex
Bedroom
Would like this item offered in Black
The Ionic Air Purifier is a great purifier and is doing a great job reducing dust in its location....Highly recommend it
It really works!
Am glad I have it. Its made a big difference.
Great product for purifying air!
Product is being used in our home. We have 2 large dogs and the product purifies the air well.
I would buy this product again and again
Bought 2, one for ground level and one for the basement.
Air Tamer
We use the air tamer everyday and since it has been on in our apartment we have felt great. We can definitely tell the difference in the air quality. Great product and recommend it to everyone.
The best air purifier we have ever owned
Effective in our large living space. Easy to clean and no filters to replace. Its attractive and blends in with our decor. We liked it so much, we purchased another one for our bedroom. We have two fluffy cats and a bird and are amazed at how much better we breath.
Works very well but there are some issue
I purchased four of the large units. They work very well removing dust from the room and are very quiet ( I use them on setting 3). I was disappointed in two things regarding these units. First the Ozone filter is shown in the instructions as removable and the addnedum for the instructions states it is not removable. A step backward in maintenance. The instructions state you can use a vacuum dusting attachment to clean the filter, however the dusting attachments on both of my vacuums are at a 45 degree angle and wont work. I have to use a static dusting mop to clean the ozone filter. It would have been better if they had kept it removable so you could pull it out, vacuum it off, and put it back in. The Collector is large and does not fit an any of my sinks. The instructions caution on placing it in a dishwasher as it can be damaged. To me it seems they thought of the dishwasher thing and vacuuming the filter as an afterthought instead of testing it out. So I have to fill my bathtub up to wash out
The one and only one!!!
I smoke, and I have for 15 years two Air Purifiers that worked great, but was time to replace it. I first purchased one. I liked it and several months latter I purchased 2 more. My friends are smokers and they like the way my house dont smell on cigarettes. It save me money in a long run, because I dont have to repaint my house every so often, and I dont have to buy expensive filters. For me is an excellent investment and it works great.
LOVE this air purifier
We have 4 dogs in the house. Needless to say, my home was starting to smell like a kennel. Ive used other air purifiers but this one is the BEST!! Within minutes of plugging it in, my house smelled better and its super easy. There are no messy filters to buy and replace. The stainless steel filter goes right in the dishwasher and its ready to put back in the unit as soon as its dry. I love this so much I bought a second one for the upper level of my home and Im also going to buy one for my office.
Adequate, Not Great
I like the product, but the filter needs cleaning way too often. You hear the electrostatic zaps between filter changes occasionally.
exactly what I was looking for
I dont expect any plug in or portable air purifier to get everything, but I am the one who does all the dusting and suffers from allergies and its helped a LOT. I have a cat and dog as well, so this was a great investment. It is a little noisy when turned on hi, but I just turn it down when Im in the room and up when Im not home.
I have bought this product several times
Have owned several units. Performance and durability has been excellent
quality product - good buy
Air is noticeably cleaner and allergic reactions to pet dander and hair have decreased.
The air "filter" assembly is supposed to be washable in the dishwasher. This is difficult to do given the size and construction. Ive tried rinsing and soaking in soapy hot water, but without the extra zip of the dishwasher, it does not come very clean.
I highly recommend this product to anyone with allergy related clean air concerns in their home.
SIMPLY DID NOT WORK!!!
Could not turn on!! [...] the product could not even turn on!!
Not as good as original
I had purchased several of the original model and was very pleased. Used them at home and business. This one was not nearly as good .
Good Air Cleaner
A good all arround air cleaner
Noisy
Have several (as in 7) older ionic breeze units in my home that are whisper quiet. I expected the approximate noise level in this unit after watching the on line video. Definitly not appropriate for bedrooms or restful areas unless you enjoy fan noice. Good air cleaning effect but returned items due to the obvious issue.
Disapppointed in Filters
I bought two of this product as I am an allergy sufferer. I had owned 2 ionic pro turbos and have liked them a lot. However, had I known how heavy these new units are, I would not have gotten them The filter gets dirty so fast and makes a terrible sparking noise, Then the filter is so heavy to get out to clean and it takes forever to dry. I would not leave it on if I went out shopping as it seems dangerous.
Sharper Image Air Purifier
I own two units and am very happy with this product. The unit cleans the air, removes smells and is easy to clean. The fan is quiet but you can feel the exchange of air so you know it is working. Blades are easy to clean and NO extra filters to buy.
Not my first rodeo
We purchased four units. Originally, we purchased two units at the store in San Antonio, TX - 10 years ago. They ran for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. One of those finally died. Looking on line for a replacement we discovered Sharper Image was still available. Buying from them again was a no brainer.
I cannot yet comment of durability as weve only had these units a bit over a month.
Cleaning seems more efficient for these newer models but they make a tad more noise than the older models. The older models did not have a fan and made no noise at all. With the fans, the units move more air and move that amount of air quicker.
These units do exactly what they are supposed to do.
If you have allergies or asthma, I strongly recommend these units. My wifes asthma has improved significantly and her need for inhalers has dropped to almost zero in the house. My need for allergy medications has significantly decreased as well.
clean air brings a better life
in bedroom. I have COPD and this unit increase my quality of life.
Great air cleaner!
Although the air purifier is large it cleans the air in small and large rooms quietly, quickly and gives the room a crisp feeling when breathing.
Easy to Set Up
Just set up the air filter - easy to do. like the easy and variable controls. And the air coming out is cooling. Will probably feel great in the summer. Looking forward to cleaner air in my apt.
This time, bought for our second home
We have had two ionic air purifiers in our home for several years and decided to buy two for our second home because of the improved air quality. We have experienced a definite reduction in head congestion/allergy discomforts. Filters are very easy to clean.
Worth its weight in Gold.
I needed this product due to my allergies to dust and dust mites.
worth the price
I suffer from airborne allergies and the ionic breeze easily removes allergens in my living room and dining room. I also use it to de-odorize the kitchen when cooking. Its powerful and is not noisy at all.
Does a great job
The Ionic Comfort Air Purifier does a great job of keeping the air in our house fresh - even with a smoker in residence! It runs very quietly and is easy to set up and use. The only problem with it is that the filter is hard to clean since its too large to fit in our dishwasher. Other than that, were very happy with the purchase.
LOVE THE IONIC COMFORT!
I live in a small apt with no windows and this unit works wonders . . . I cant live without it.
out does what expected
this is the second one i have bought the first one lasted me 8 yrs and did a wonderful job breathing problem cleared up and took all the smoke smell out would recommend one to everyone
Adequate
I found that I had to push the power button many times to turn on and off the air purifier. I have to clean the filter often or else it will make a noise like a bug zapper. On full power, its not that quiet. It emits a strange odor. The "ozone" filter is supposed to help, but it doesnt do enough. With all that said, I have noticed a considerable notice in the reduction of dust in the house. This household has two cats and one dog, so there is always a lot of dust.
Ionic Breeze
about 10 years ago, our family purchase the Ionic Breeze (3) units, due to Allergies.
Before purchasing these, we were down to one unit working.
It makes a difference in the air quality in the home, and helps with allergies.
One day I looked in a room that had a lot of sun coming in the door, there was a lot of particals in the are. Bought two new Ionic units. Perfect for the house. Clean smell no particals in the air. I am a fan. Worth every penny.
Great Product
Ionic breeze does everything its promises. Still have two models I bought ten years ago which still work perfectly. Love the new design and fans.
I DIDNT KNOW THW WHOLE STORY.
THE CLEANING LIGHT COMES ON TOO QUICKLY. DONKNOW IF IT REALLY NEEDS CLEANING OR NOT.
DONT KNOW HOW AFFECTIVE THE UNIT IS OR SUPPOSED TO BE.
Love it
We have 2 dogs (lab and German Shep) and a baby on the way. I wanted the air quality to be cleaner and fresher. It does just that! I do notice that it takes a whole day for the filter to dry. It will let you know if its not dry enough when you turn it on (it makes a cracking sound). I wish we had a second filter. We really need a send one for the house but for now we just move around from time to time.
good product. easy maintenance.
I purchased this air purifier because my 3 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with asthma after a week long stay in the PICU. I believe that the ionic breeze improves the quality of air in our home, thus improving her respiratory function.
Love it!
It works great, cleans air of smells such as food, smoke, and pets. I dont think it works quite as well as the previous ionic model, but it is the best substitute that I have found. Wish it came in black. I would suggest purchasing if you are trying to replace the previous ionic breeze.
I would buy this product again
The Ionic Comfort filter cleans up easily in the dishwasher.
The quiet running fans help move the heat from the gas fireplace insert throughout the living room and dinning room.
Ionic Comfort really works
I replaced an old broken Ionic Breeze with another brand that sterilized the air. It didnt work for smells or really clean the air very well. When I saw this unit I replaced the sterilizing unit even though it was not broken. The Ionic Comfort works so well that I noticed the difference in air quality within 2 days. The air was cleaner and my allergies were greatly improved.
Im a 3rd generation air cleaner user.
I now am the the proud owner of 3 generations of sharper image air cleaners. Each generation better than its predecessor. The older models are now in bedrooms and the office. yes, they still work, years later. Sooo much better than the competition!
I would buy again
The fans are really quiet i have in my bedroom on half speed and I have no problem sleeping
I Love this Clean Air Machine
I purchased 2 of theses clean air machines. My husband and I both smoke and we have a dog and It is very important to me that my home does not smell like either one. I run them constantly and it is so nice to smell the fresh clean air. I would like to buy 6 more for each room and for my second home.
verry good product
air in house is cleaner, filters dust from the air, less frequent need to dust
Indoor air quality improvement
I have only had this a few weeks, but so far, so good. The unit does everything that it claims and it appears to be well made. I have not needed to clean the filter yet.
Best air purifier I have ever used.
Unit needs to be cleaned too frequently. Cleaning is a bit cumbersome. But, its functioning level is very, very good.
Great unit
I feel a lot better and sleep much better since having this in my house. might get another one
Ionic air purifier
Ionic air purifier cleans the air very well. My wife has breathing problems this product did the job thank You Sharper Image Scott
I am glad I found this.
It is very efficient at taking dust and dander out of the air. Also very easy to clean. When on high it makes some fan noise but it is well worth it.
I own 6 sharperimage air cleaners
I have bought 6 Sharperimage air cleaners in the past 4 years. I have 4 of them in my home and have recently bought 2 of the newer ones for my daughters home. My daughter and her husband smoke in their home and it was getting harder for me to breath when I would visit, so I took it upon my self to buy the lastest ones to help this condition. I can say it was a blessing, the air was much cleaner I could breath easier and my clothes smelled cleaner when I returned to my home after a two weeks visit. I recommend that anyone that smokes in their homes invest the money in this product.
I would by this product again!!!
We have two litter boxes and I use to have an ionic breeze in the room so you could not tell we even had a cat in the house. I wore out the first one after sevel years and when I saw sharper image had it again I promtly bought one. They are also graet to have in the house if you have allergies or asthma.
Not worth the money.
For the money I paid for this product, there are many better options out there. Does not "purify" the air, it collects dust, and not very well. I cant run it for more than 2 hours without the dirty filter light coming on. It does not eliminate bad smells. Its just a weak fan. Incredibly disappointed in this product.
Ionic Comfort Air Purifier
Purchased for several of our radar sites. Per our end users it performs as expected.
Im Buying Another One!!
This filter does what it claims. there is a distinct difference in air quality from the room where it is to other rooms in the house (thus an additional filter). On lower speeds you would not know its there, on high its just enough white noise to cover my occasional snoring. The filter element is a little bulky and the first time I put it in the dishwasher it was a bit slippery upon taking it out. I wound up with a nasty cut on my finger requiring several stitches, and the filter was missing one of the fine ionization wires (all of this is well covered by warnings in the manual). That said, when I called Filter Stream (the manufacturer) to see about a replacement wire (I thought I could replace it myself) they said I could not but that they were shipping a new filter at no cost to me (keep in mind that I dropped it, I broke it). That kind of service is worth its weight in gold in these times.
Like it
I like this product, it has helped me to gain control of my allergy attacks.
Very effective!
Ever since I started using my Ionic Comfort, Ive noticed a huge difference in my breathing when I wake up in the morning. My mornings of constant sneezing and nose blowing are long gone. Very satisfied!
Ionic Comfort Air Purifiers
Had one of the older Air Purifiers that finally bit the dust, so to speak, and got such good service from it just decided to keep the same brand. The one I had was no longer available. These are just as good as the old ones were.
Happy Ionic Breeze Customer
I have been an Ionic Breeze user for many years and have now purchased the new model when the older model failed after several years of use. It is extremely effective at air purification. Apart from it not being as silent as my old model, I am extremely satisfied with this updated model
I KNEW it would be great!
With forced air heat, dust is a nightmare. This thing collects so much that the furniture doesnt look like it needs dusting for 2 weeks instead of every other day! I knew it would be great because my daughter has had one for years in the room with her 3 birds and it collects tons of the bird dander. I wasnt going to risk spending money on another brand that might or might not work well. If youre looking for cleaner air, this is the one.
Great Air Cleaner!
Wonderful air cleaner. Truly helps our allergies and the dryness in the home.
I like it, air quality is awesome!!
Really like it, but the filter light is always on. I have to clean the filter 2-3 times a week.
Amazing
I have had other air purifiers and when this went on sale, I decided I had to get it. BEST air purifier ever! Makes such a huge difference w/my allergies and more importantly, when I sleep! Also, I dont wake up congested anymore.
Ionic Breeze
i bought the ionic breeze because my daughter been having these cough spells. Thinking this might work because i assess her problem to be an allergic reaction. anyways, the product looks cheaply made. too expensive for a fan. should have different colors. had to clean the filter way too often. created an ozone smell to the house.
Improvement within 10 minutes
It was amazing how fast the air quality improved in just 10 minutes. With two large dogs air fresheners just do not work.
Very worthwhile purchase
Amazing improvement in air quality noted the first day.
really freshens the air
This really works great. My wife typically goes to sleep a couple of hours before I do, so when I finally go to bed, theres a staleness in the air (sorry, honey). Since we got this, we run it at the lowest setting and it keeps the air in the bedroom fresh.
Does better job than expected.
I tried a couple bargain brands with the same ionic technology concept, but the sharper image brand definately has a bigger impact on air quality.
ion wires break easily
The machine works extremely well, but the filter requires cleaning every few days. While following the manufactures recondmended method of cleaning by using the dishwasher, one of the ion wires snaped. The machine still works, just not as well. I figured im only a few weeks into my purchase and there must be some sort of replacement filter i could purchase or have mine swapped or fixed, but unfortunately it appears in the warranty area of the sharper image website they will/cannot replace any broken part.... so there is no warrenty, just smoke and mirrors. Good machine, you just have to spend another few hundrded dollars to replace them....ive already purchased 3 and planned on buying 2 more, but not at this point.
I would buy this product again.
Keeps the bedroom smelling fresh.
Ionic Air Purifier
Im very pleased with Sharper Images performance and the air purifier. Id recommend both to everyone.
Great unit!!
I love this unit! It is super simple to use (and clean) and keeps my air smelling great around the clock. Finally - no filters to buy and find. It is built like a tank and simply keeps running and running. I bought Ionic Pro and Honeywell units before and while they were cheaper, they broke down. My advise is to spend a little more and get this one.
very satified with product
quiet and useful
Will always purchase an ionic purifier!
So far, so good, Hopefully, it stands the test of time. I purchased an Ionic Breeze that lasted nearly 10 years and it was awesome!
Id buy another one
This air purifier is very effective at eliminating odor from cigarette smoke. Id actually like an additional one for another room in my house.
The only reason I didnt rate this with 5 stars is the need to clean the filter more often than I thought. However, its not that large of an inconvenience since my dishwasher can handle the size of the filter.
The air is awesome
I keep it running 24/7, Im very pleased with this product, my daughter has the older version,& said i needed it . She was right I love it. It works thru my whole house.
I would buy this produce again.
I am a long time allergy sufferer. I purchased one about 15 years ago and used it regulary. When my grandsons seasonal allergies became a problem, I loaned my air cleaner to my daughter. To make a long story short, it helped him so I didnt want to take it back. I went on line to order the same one, but after that long of time, they didnt have the old model any longer, so I ordered this one. I was a little disappointed because it is larger than the old one I had, but it works great! I think it cuts down on the amount of medicine I have to take to control the allergies. I run it 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I havent had to clean it yet, but the old one was a breeze to clean...I am considering ordering one for my other daughter now.
Frustrating Product
I bought this product for use in my bedroom and actually it does exactly what it says it will--it pulls dust, dirt and other allergens out of the air. The problem is that it works too well for its own good.
The light on the unit which indicates that it requires cleaning comes on at least twice a week. This wouldnt be a problem if the unit was as easy to clean as the manufacturer claims. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no way to get filter into my dishwasher without ruining it. It is simply too big an bulky to fit without placing it on a diagonal across the bottom drawer, but because my dishwasher has a center water tower this is impossible.
The manual claims that you can wash the filter by hand by soaking it in soapy water for 15 minutes. That would be fantastic if I had a sink large enough to accommodate the enormous filter.
Now at this point you might be thinking, "Cant it just wipe it down with a damp cloth like you could with the ionic breeze?" The answer is no. Unlike the ionic breeze,
Breathing easier after move-in
When I moved into my small apartment, I was knocked over by a nasty deodorizer smell that had been applied by the maintenance crew right before I arrived in an attempt to cover up a funky smell in the carpet. I am chemically sensitive and work at home, so I needed to find something that would work quickly and effectively. I use it in the bedroom/office. Even though the unit gave off its own smell for the first couple of weeks (I couldnt place what the smell was and couldnt tell if it was toxic), whatever it was didnt seem to cause me problems because within the first day I was breathing easier, which is most noticeable at night because I stopped coughing. The unit seems very well made and sturdy. I like the variable fan speeds. Even though my apartment is 691 square feet, this unit is all I need. I havent needed to clean the unit yet, but I am glad that I can clean it myself rather than buy filters. I would give it 5 stars but instead am giving it 4 stars (4.5 is more like it) because it doesnt make sen
Beauty is wasted on the young
the fan noise is too much
there us too much static discharge
great
Iam a smoker
Definitely works!
I was very leary about spending so much money on an air purifier. I researched a lot of models and since this one doesnt need filters to be purchased for replacement I figured that it would ease the pain of the price. So far so good, I definitely can tell it removes odors and "floaters" (the stuff you see when light comes in the window). And when I bring it in my bedroom at night, in the morning I find I am not as stuffy in my sinuses as I was when I didnt have it or left it in the other room. The only bummer is when you wash it in the dishwasher it takes a long time to dry. But if you wash it in the morning and leave it all day it should be ready when you get home from work. Otherwise I am satisfied.
Cleaner air is nice to breathe
This is not an inexpensive product, but we get (generally) what we pay for.
The Ionic breeze Air Purifier the best!
I think the Ionic Breeze is the best machine ever I had one the orick and its not even a year old and its broken. I seen Ionic Breeze and I told my husband that I was going to order two. he said rite away no problem. We purchased an Ionic Breeze years ago. I should of known better. I just ordered another two more machines, and some other stuff. I will never go to anyone else except Ionic Breeze and I will tell all my friends I told my friend and she said she wasnts something like. She never even saw the unit.
I would but this product again and again
Have mulitple pets and this is a great product. I should have known that it was so easy to clean and worked better than all others. I purchased 2 other cheeper brands that didnt work as well and then ultimately purchased this one. The other brands are going to go as "gifts", and Ill keep this one!
Effective Air Purifier - A mess to clean
This product is very powerful and effective. You can feel the difference in the air you breathe and the cleanliness of the environment in the room. If you are an avid cook like myself and your tiny kitchen is open to your living room, this air purifier will suck the smell of cooking like a professional range hood.
Now for cleaning the filter, Ill give it a D. First, I dont like cleaning it in my dishwasher. Im not comfortable washing my dishes after the germs have been washed from this filer. Even if I was OK with it, the filter doesnt fit in my dishwasher rack without cutting some of its strings. So, I end up washing it by hand which is very tedious and messy and you cant get it clean enough even after your fingers are full of cuts and scraps. Sinking it in a tub or bucket doesnt take care of cleaning it completely either. Also, you have to wait for couple of days for the filter to completely dry. The problem is with those fine strings in the filter that are hard to clean. Sharper Image shou
Clean but noiser than previous models
I bought two and currently own a much older model. I have allergies so I want my air as clean as possible. It definitely keeps the air clean. Having used an older model, though, I became used to the ionic "smell" they tout as less than pleasant, but I liked it because I knew my air was clean when I smelled it. I miss it. The other drawback of this model vs. prior models is the noise. The older models make practically no noise at all, this one is extremely loud. Im not sure I could use this one in a bedroom and leave it on without turning the cleaning capability to a low setting. Although I would recommend this product because of its excellent air cleaning capability, it would be with the above caveats.
Ionic Comfort Air Purifier
This purifier works great. The only problem is the filter grid has to be cleaned quite often. This requires throwing it in the dishwasher and then waiting for a number of hours for it to dry before you can put it back into the unit. During that wait, my purifier is just sitting there not being used. If you have allergies like myself, you can tell it just sitting there too. BUT, while its running, I can breath easily and have no allergies popping up bc of low quality air. Great purchase, just need to look into buying a spare filter grid so I can switch them for cleaning and the unit continues to run. It does get noisy at higher speeds, but I use that as a sleep aid anyway.
Helps with Allergies
I first got introduced to this air purifier by my ex- husband. I have indoor and outdoor allergies. No pets but when spring came in and I didnt have the air purifier I noticed a difference. I had a cold, sneezing and congestion for a month. I had to order the ionic breeze to see if that was the difference. I have it in my bedroom and at this time I am cold free.
This is I want another one.
I have it in the bedroom and now I sleep great.
Great product
I have been struggling with allergies for the first time in my life. I was so congested the night I received the Ionic Comfort and I almost got to get a Claritin tablet but thought I would put the Ionic comfort to the test. Within 10 minutes one nostril was already clear and my headache was gone. This product is truly awesome. It is super quiet and I have not taken an allergy pill since getting it. This product works and is worth every penny!
Air Perfection!
Within an hour of plugging the Purifier in the "pet" smells in my living room disappeared. So much better than using air fresheners or other sprays to coverup odors. I bought 2 more the next day! Now I have 3 in the house. My only disappointment is that it doesnt come in more color choices. White looks great in my kitchen, but stands out too much in my living room.
Good quiet machine
This air purifier really helped me control my allergies and is fairly simple to use
Strong ozone odor emitted
Strong ozone odor during operation
In use since March and did not notice any improvement in air quality.
ionic comfort air purifier
AWESOME! I love it. My son has allergies to dogs and dust mites. We have 2 dogs that we have had for 11 years and just found out he was allergic to them. So before getting rid of them we decided to get an air purifier for his room to see if it would help so we wouldnt have to get rid of the them. It has helped him so much that we get to keep the dogs. He is not nearly as congested since getting it. I have 2 ionic breezes as well. The ionic comfort is so nice because you can clean the dirty part in the dishwasher and its cool to see how much stuff is in the air.........so you can see how well it works.
Best buy for the Buck
The wife loves it. Cleared a stuffy room easily.
Done with drying
I have allergies and need clean air. To have to air dry these because my landlord does not have a dishwasher is ridiculous. You use to be able to hand dry the old filters. Youve made it more difficult.
Great Product
I have pets, a cat and 2 dogs. It filters minute particles as well as airborne dust and allergins. It is easy to clean the filter by placing it in the dishwasher. Great product!
Ionic Comfort Air Purifiers
It couldnt have been easier to set up and start using. We noticed improvements in our air immediately.
EATS DUST
I have owned three of the previous version, or Ionic Breezes, and they made my dust allergy seem non-existent. There were claims of ozone problems but I never felt any discomfort in over 10 years of use. This model looks a lot better and isnt as flimsy as the original, and it packs a dust eating wallop! It is not silent as the original and I can only use it on full force when I leave my small apartment.
Best air purifier ever!
I bought two (2). One pulls air from my greatroom (35 X 17). One pulls air from master bedroom. I was replacing my A/C filter twice a month. Since I received these air purifiers, I cant find any dust on the filter yet (almost a month).
Anyone else with asthma should buy the Ionic Comfort air purifier. I have had no asthma attacks (at home) and 1/4 the migraines.
"I am a long time ionic breeze user"
I suffer with indoor allergies to most types of dust and danders found in the home. I purchased my first ionic breeze over 8 or 9 years ago and I used that unit everyday until it no longer worked. I recently purchased two ionic breeze units. I placed one in the downstairs on my home and the other unit upstairs in my bedroom. I love the new units and use them daily. The units have tremendously reduced the dust that was visible on surfaces and floating in the air. I would recommend this unit to everyone, especially if you have respiratory problems.
Ionic Comfort is so quiet!
I have a new baby and this ionic comfort air purifier has really eased my mind. I know shes breathing clean, fresh air with this air purifier running in the background!
A MUST have
Before I purchased the Ionic Breeze I had other air filters. One was obnoxiously loud and required me purchasing 2 different filters on a regular basis. It had to be taken apart just to change the filter. Because I have allergies to dust and have 4 litter boxes I needed a quality air filter that I could keep on 24/7 so I decided to pay a little more and invest in 2 Ionic Breeze air filters from Sharper Image. It turned out to be one of the best investments Ive ever made toward my health. That was almost 9 years ago and Ive not regretted my purchases for a moment.
The Ionic Breeze is not a gimmick. It does all of what it claims and does so both silently and unobtrusively. My 2 Ionic Breeze units have remained on 24/7 except for when I turned it off to clean the blades once a week and when I moved. After almost 9 years of owning one I can attest for the effectiveness of the IB to remove particulate matter from the air and one of the worse offensive odors-litter boxes.
Picture in your mind dirt
Always liked the Breeze
I always liked the Ionic Breeze. My fiancé and I have allergies and we both noticed a significant improvement
Does not remove large air contaminants
I bought 2 of these on the recommendation of a heavy smoker. It did make the air smell nicer and there was black stuff on the filter but it does not remove dust, pet hair, pollen, or any visible air borne particles the way other air purifiers do. It is not a replacement for a HEPA filter or an air conditioner. I used them for over three years then finally bought a traditional air filter. It is true regular air filters are louder and bulkier than this, but they are better. I am really not sure why they are so popular.
Didnt get what I paid for
You pay almost $400 and you expect to get what you paid for, not for this unit though. While it purifies the air, I ended up using it only once. First, it gets dirty pretty quickly. Cleaning is a mess and doesnt get rid of all the dirt because of the wires in this design. After cleaning it and drying it, it makes an annoying hissing and crackling sound. They tell you to wait for it to dry. After 5 days of air drying, it still does this sound. Finally, after it started working again, a burning smell came out of the unit and the filter turned out to be melting. So, [$] for only one use, is completely ridiculous.
A noticeable smell?
I have enjoyed using my new ionic comfort. Yet I still wonder is there is a way to neutralize the ionic oder that builds up. I get used to the smell after a few minutes but still it is noticeable when I walk into the room after an extended period absent.
We have always been satisfied with your
These were gifts we purchased for two of our children. Both seriously neede air cleanners and we have had two for many years and are very happy with them.
Seems to be as described.
Seems to be efficient, is quiet as a whisper on lower settings. The only con I have so far is the cord was tangled and crimped upon arrival Im unable to get the crimp out of the power cord. It does not seem to get warm to the touch so i suppose it is okay.
With all the forest fires this late summer it was a blessing to have my new air filter system to clean the air so i could breath once again.
Like it
Got because husband recently diagnosed with COPD. Having trouble with wheezing. Bought 2 one for bedroom and one for living room. Seems to have helped. Have to clean filters often so it must be doing something.
Enjoying cleaner air
I am truly delighted with this product. I was sceptical at first but with down drafts from my chimney causing my living room to smell like a hunting lodge I was desperate. I plugged the unit in near the fireplace and within minutes the room smelled like a spring day! I purchased another ion devise from another company to compare the two but there was no comparison and the Sharper Image was clearly superior. I use it in my home office as well and there is a definite noticable difference in the quality of the air when you enter the room. It feels fresh and energized.
