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.
Great Purifiers!!!!!
I bought two Ionic Breezes as we have a dog and my husband has seasonal allergies. The air is so clean that I no longer smell the dog in the purifier areas; living room and bedroom. It is great that the filter can be washed in the dishwasher. The Purifier is a little heavy but the air quality outweighs the bulkiness.
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.
Works like a charm and more
I am happy with the product at least 95% or more and would highly recommend it! No filters to buy.
Less dusting. Goodbye allergies. Well worth the price.
Rather disappointed
I was very pleased with my Ionic Breeze, which finally gave up the ghost after about six years. It was very effective and very easy to clean. So, I bought two Ionic Comforts and have been disappointed in that it is nearly impossible to clean and the main filter is way too fragile for an appliance so expensive. A big disappointment compared to my previous experience.
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 !
Iconic Air Purifier
Used in master bedroom and great room. Works well.
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.
Improved allergies, Decreased odors.
Unfortunately I am a smoker. I also own a dog. I bought two units for downstairs, because smoking upstairs in the bedrooms is not allowed. Although the units can be a slightly noisy (comparable to a box fan) if set on the max setting, it really creates good air flow throughout the area of the house. Elimination of stagnant air is definately a plus. My down stairs is very open and has no specific rooms other than the kitchen. So pet dander and smoke cannot be contained in one room. I bought 2 units and placed them approximately 30 feet apart. I have already noticed a decrease in my allergies, and others have commented that the odor is decreaing. Cleaning is so simple. Just put the filter in the dishwasher. Thats is awesome for me.
poping sounds
They are very nice and work very good. They do make loud poping sounds once in awhile that will just make you junp. We are starting to use to the noice.
very good
i"m very happy with this product
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.
ionic comfort air purifier
Suppose to help with allergens Have seen no difference in health since we recieved it.
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.
Its All They Say It Is
I love the Ionic Comfort Air Purifier. There have been a lot of forest fires accross the mountains from us. Now the smokey air has moved into our area. I have asthma and when I am outside I am uncomfortable. When we have visited others homes I also feel it. In our home the air is fresh and clean and I have no problems. Tonight we came home and found one of our dogs had urinated in his crate. It really smelled bad. We washed his blanket and wiped down the crate and turned the air purifier to ten. Within minutes the room smelled wonderful and fresh. This is a great product I would recommend it highly to anyone.
The Sharper Image ionic is Terrific!
I have lots of allergies. This is life saving! I began with the Sharper Image Quadra years ago.
My ionics are the original that I bought years ago So, tomorrow Im going to call Sharper Image to buy new ones. I usually have 3 or 4 on in the house. Because Im having a store within a couple of months, I want one for there, also.
The ionic really does eliminate viruses! Now, that I have a cat I need to insure that the airborn dander is under control. So, I turn to Shaprer image ionic.
To top this off, I just looked for the Sharper Image location, and it is right here in my home town!!!
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.
We ordered two. Only one worked.
waiting too long for the return label for the one that doesnt work. Process for Returning defective products so you can reorder should be streamlined.
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
Too big and too heavy, but does good job
Many years ago I bought your top ionizer, which was much smaller. It seems that size is no longer made, as I checked multiple stores and none found. This size is too big but it does cover my 1300 foot condo effectively. Other smaller units are not necessary to augment this one. Biggest drawback: The filter is very heavy too lift out of the unit, especially when the person is short! Also, I have a standard size dishwaher, and it does not fit.
AMAZING
IVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW THIS PRODUCT RECIEVED A BAD REVIEW FROM ANYONE. WE HAVE SHARPER IMAGE IONIC BREEZES IN EVERY MAIN ROOM OF OUR HOME. THEY DO AN AMAZING JOB OF CLEANING THE AIR. AND THEY ARE EASY TO CLEAN AND DO NOT REQUIRE THE PURCHASE OF FILTERS EVER. THIS NEW ONE IS A BIT LARGER AND HEAVIER THAN PAST MODELS BUT IT WORKS FANTASTIC AND HAS MORE FAN SPEED OPTIONS.
Great Purifiers!!!!!
I bought two Ionic Breezes as we have a dog and my husband has seasonal allergies. The air is so clean that I no longer smell the dog in the purifier areas; living room and bedroom. It is great that the filter can be washed in the dishwasher. The Purifier is a little heavy but the air quality outweighs the bulkiness.
It really works!
Am glad I have it. Its made a big difference.
Sharper Image reinvented
The Sharper Image has taken all of the bugs out of the original air machine
that it was modeled on and has made it so much better. I purchased two of these machines and am well satisfied with them. So much so that I will be soon adding two more of them for other rooms. Have not been able to quit the smoking habit yet so it is vital that my home is welcoming to incoming guests. These air machines do just that. It also provides me with a smoke free home and that is very important to me. I run them 24/7 and the air always smells fresh and smoke free. I would definitely recommend purchasing them. They are well worth the price.
Best product I ever had for air control"
I just got these product cause I had one before and I love it, these new product is more powerful I smoke a lot and in minutes is not smell no more I love it!!! Thats why I got two of them!!!
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
By far the best overall product ever
Our family has tried everything to remove damaging particles, as we all have seasonal allergies. My mother especially. This machine allows her to go, for as long as it last, without the runny eyes and itchy eys. It is a fantastic machine. There is nothing bad about this machine, it saves her and us visits to the Doctor in dealing with our allergies.
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.
It works great
I plug this unit in to clean the air and it dont take long. I would recommend this to anyone. I love the clean fresh smell.
I would think twice before buying
I operate this filter 24/7 and it does a good job filtering the air. The problem is it is very difficult to clean. It does not fit into a dishwasher as advertised, not without damaging the wires in the electrostatic filter. In order to clean it I have to use an air compressor to blow out what dust I can then spray it with detergent and rinse it out.
It is a tedious operation and one made more difficult by the close spacing of the wires and plates making up the filter. I would not have purchased this filter had I known how difficult it is to clean.
I would buy another Ionic Air Purifier
I enjoy clean air and knowing this machine will get smoke smell, dust, dander, viruses, germs etc. out of my home. I live in an area with some of the dirtiest air around. People constantly burn garbage, yard refuse, etc. This will come in very handy in spring and fall when neighbors burn this stuff instead of putting into garbage pickup.
Air Purifier
Nice fan control, easy to clean, no buying more filters.
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.
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.
Great product
I have three cats and love my air purifier.
Love this product.
room smells so fresh and clean, like walking into oxygen filled room
clean air brings a better life
in bedroom. I have COPD and this unit increase my quality of life.
one is great / one is not working
one needs to be returned, I bought two for our home......they really do a nice job....however
one is not working properly
Quality product
I knew this was going to work great since before I purchased it, my mother has had some version of this for I believe now near a decade! It works great. I keep it set at about seven or eight higher than that and it gets loud, at seven or eight its a rather gentle hum and easily ignored unless your house or apartment is dead silent. We dont have a dish washer so its a bit less convenient to clean it, but Ive taken to filling the bath tub up a ways adding a bit of dish soap and use a soft bristle dust brush to agitate the filth off, which living so close to the Mexican boarder there is plenty of filth in the way of pure air pollution and dirt in the air! yes dirt not dust and top of that add to small dogs which track in even more. And this has performed wonderfully, cleans the whole apartments worth of air. and we have a fairly large apartment at about 1200 sq.ft. dust isnt an issue any longer and my girl friends allergies are almost completely vanished!
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.
Best buy that I have made
I have been having severe allergy problems. I have been off work because of the severity of my allergies. I LOVE the fact that I can just take the air filter out and put it in the washer. It keeps me from being exposed to the excess dirt when cleaning the filter. I run them 24 hrs a day. I bought 2 and do notice the difference in the rooms that doesnt have a air purifier. Just purchased the 2 purifiers 3 weeks ago and love it. I wish work would buy a few and put it in their offices. I have recommended this to my co-worker.
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.
Great product - This is our second one
I have one that I use in my bedroom and am now getting a second one for the den! You really can see the pollen and dust that was cleared from the room when the filter is cleaned. There are similar other itmes on the market, and this one seems to be the best.
I highly recommend this product !
Although this unit is not as quiet as the previous ones I have had. It is an amazing unit. There is a quieting noise and is very comforting.
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.
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.
Dandy Device
I had to maintenance the filter for the first time today and I am impressed. I simply pull it out from under the lid and rinsed it off in the shower. I was slightly burdened with its weight because I held it up to the stream of water so that the crevices would be cleansed since I dont have a dishwasher that the labeling says would be just fine as well. Make sure all the droplets are gone before putting it back in the unit or else it wont respond. Even after I put in a slightly damp filter, that I eventually removed, the base unit still functioned once a dry filter was placed into it afterward. Now its back to collecting the air debris so I can be virtually worry-free.
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.
I Can Smell the Difference
We have four cats and I have two of the older model Ionic Breezes and decided I needed two more. We live in a four story townhouse and have cat boxes on three levels. We have an ionic breeze now in every room that has cat boxes plus in the kitchen. The house smells so fresh and clean with these running. Ive had no trouble cleaning them either. This ionic breeze is loud on a higher speed but I find it isnt necessary to run it at the high speed.
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.
This model is better than the previous
Bought two, one for the living room and one for our bedroom. Works great
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.

Air Comfort Purifier
This one needs cleaning weekly. The older Ionic Breeze needed cleaning every 60-90 days.
La La La
This product is used in a basement utility room. I cant really tell if its working because the clean filter light is always on. The filter is not dirty as the product is brand new. Turning it off and then back on again resets the light, but the next day the light is back on. I expected more for the money I spent on this.
I would buy again
The fans are really quiet i have in my bedroom on half speed and I have no problem sleeping
Liked the old Ionic Breeze better
short filter use, hard to clean
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.
Ionic Comfort Air Purifier
Bought two; one for basement and one for main floor. Removed musty odor from the basement very quickly. Runs quietly. Pamplet shows the ozone filter being removed to wash. We have been unable to remove it. The Main filter removes easily to wash in the dishwasher.
Ionic Comfort Air Purifier
This is my second purchase of Ionic air purifiers. I bought two of them in 2002 and they lasted until June of 2012. Hope this one lasts that long. Love the purifier.
Wonderful product, really does the job!
Its great for removing dust and pet dander from the air
I like this product
I smoke and cook. The previous version without the fan I have used for years. Picky non-smoking people come to the house and believe I have quit smoking and not cooked in ages. I think the fan is a little loud on this one - I like the silent running version better but it does the job. My house is odorless.
Cleans the air but not easy to clean.
We have 2 and they work well but are not easy to clean. Had to buy bin that fit the filter. Directions in manual differ from those received by customer service. Get it together.
This helps with alergy problems
The filter is large so it is hard to find a container large enough to cleen the filter in. The manual says to put it in a dish washer. it is to large to fit in a dish washer.
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.
ionic Comfort works well for smoke
This product has a fan which can be turned from low to high. I like how the low settings do not cool a room down too much. We use it in the winter to help get rid of the smoke smell produced from our wood burning stove, and it would be silly to cool down the house.
The biggest downside is that it is supposed to be located 2 feet from any wall or furniture which kind of puts it out in the room more than Id like.
I would purchase another .
Great Product and really does work like advertised.
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!
Great Product hate exchanging
I love the product. The first month I never slept better in my bedroom, as we sleep with our dogs; and my nose is always stuffed up. The iconic breeze took care of all that. LOVE IT!! After a month we did clean the filter in dish washer. Used the drying cycle however, I still needed to put a blow dryer to it to make sure it was completely dry. Dont know how to clean ozone filer or even take it out to clean it. Now it seams to not work as well as it did when we first got it. How do you change the ozone filter sharperimage? Help.
My husband and I bought 2 ionic comforts on November 24. One came in damaged so we are still waiting for replacement and we are now into January. Customer service could be much better. I had to send back the unit (their expense) then wait for the credit on my charge card which happened finally on December 18 now I have to call them to order again for the one that broke. This is all Crazyness at the least. Product is worth the hassle. Please Sharperimage do something about
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.
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.
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.
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.
the first step to so much better health
i purchased an original ionizer air cleaner almost 20 years ago. i have been in love ever since, with its quiet and excellent efficency. i was actually hoping to find the one like i have, but i find this on is just as good, only cleaning it cannot be done by hand. when all is said and done, i would still order it again, as its performance outweighs anything negative.
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.
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.
Best air purifier ever!
Love the product, just wish youd offer a better
discount on a second unit.
I would buy this again.
quiet easy to use controls,
Amazing product!
Using it in a small bedroom with my 2 birds in it.
Have had it for 2 weeks now and can already tell a difference. Will know the results in about a month but so far so good!
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.
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.
Ionic Air purifier helpful
We use this product every day, almost all day long. The purifier cleans the room very quickly and has a fan speed that can change from low to high. The low is whisper silent while the high sounds like a fan and blows like a fan (this will be nice during the summer).
product too heavy to easily move around
This product is 10# heavier than the 6 older Sharper Image GP germacidal protection air filters I have. Too heavy to easily move. I had to return them for that reason. I use my older ones constantly in 2 different homes and they are great. Wish the new ones were lighter. The concept of being able to put the filters on this one in the dishwasher is great.
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,
Great poduct
We have had an older version of this product. This new design is much better and more efficient.
Beauty is wasted on the young
the fan noise is too much
there us too much static discharge
Return Customer
This unit cleans the air I breath. It also generates a gentle breeze, which is greatefuly received this time of year (July).
great
Iam a smoker
Noisy
They advertise this as silent - silent it aint! It makes a buzzing/wizzing sound even on the lowest setting, so it cant go in the bedroom. On the highest setting its as loud as any stand alone fan. And lastly, its so heavy - It must weigh about 10 lbs!
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.
This was a Great invewstment
We have had Ionic Breeze products in our home for over 10 years. The oldest products we had in our home decided to retire. The purchase of these 2 new Ionic Products was a must. Other than being a bit noisier than the older ones we are very happy with the way they are working in our home.
Everything I expected.
Pets and allergies are usually a bad combination, but the Ionic Comfort cleans the air quickly. The family felt the difference in air quality in the first 5 minutes.
Cleaning filter
The unit sparks when it needs to be cleaned. This occured after 3 days of use. Cleaning the filter was difficult because of the wires between the surfaces to be cleaned. The next time I used the dishwasher as suggested and I used the heated dry cycle. It still took 2 days for it to dry compleatly. My old Ionic Breeze was a lot easier to maintain.
I had owned one for ten years before
Air is much better to breathe
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
Worth every penny!
I dont dust as often as I should, and we have 4 cats. After we got the 2 new cats my husband started having almost constant sneezing attacks the minute he walked in the house. Even ramping up my dusting schedule didnt help, so I ordered two Ionic Comfort Air Purifiers - one for downstairs and one for Hubbys den. We had had Ionic Breeze Air Purifiers for years and hadnt replaced them when they finally died. But since weve gotten the Ionic Comfort purifiers his sneezing has almost stopped completely. The house smells better and theres less dust. Plus they are so easy to clean - the main component goes into the dishwasher! And they come with ozone filters so its out of the box, plug in and let them do their think.
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.
Sharper Image Ionic Breeze Moves AIR!
My mother-in-law, Miss Leona has interstitial lung disease for which there is no cure. I had used another brand of air purifier in the past, but I wanted to get her a couple of Ionic Breeze machines to filter her house and hopefully avoid her getting any secondary lung infections. I was amazed at just how clean the air smells and how much volume these machines clean. It is hopefully helping. We love her so!
I trust the Sharper Image for good quali
I am sorry to tell you i dont like the ionic comfort as well as the sharper image quadra that i had for 8 years previously. The new comfort model is bigger and heavier and not as attractive as the quadra. I live in a small apt so i dont have much room for appliances. As far as preformance goes i think it is doing a good job, the air smells much fresher, but i have not had it long enough to know how often it may require cleaning and ect. Ask me after i have had it a few months.
Does the job, but has drawbacks
We own two Ionic Breeze Quadra air purifiers which are over 12 years old and were reconditioned when we bought them. They are silent, and lightwieght and easy to clean but are no longer made. This product cleans the air as well as those, but is very heavy and bulky, and is far from silent. Fan levels run from 1 through 10, plus maximum. It is only silent at 3 and below. At 7 and above it is very loud. Also, although it does fit in the dishwasher to clean, we have to put it in pur standard size dishwasher in precisely the right spot and remove the silverware section. This product cleans the air well, but has drawbacks which the former models did not.
This is I want another one.
I have it in the bedroom and now I sleep great.
I would buy this product again and again
I purchased 2 sharper image air purifiers for each of my 2 large rooms. Use for dust control as well as allergy problems.
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.
Ionic breeze
easy to use and quiet
Wonderful Investment
The air purifier has cut down all most all of the dust!
Great product!
The ionizer cleans the air very well!
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.
Enjoying fresh air
I can see the dust from the air going into it! It smells fresh too.
Good for my daughters health.
My daughter was born with sinus challenges, and has struggled with breathing through her nose since she was born. This year became very tough for her. We live in Montana - in the Bitterroot Valley. We spent 3 months in a smokey valley this year. The air quality hovered between hazardous and very unhealthy. I kept my two year old daughter inside to try to keep her safe. The smoke was so thick it would fill up our dryer through the vent hole and seep in to the house, and she got very sick with both ear and sinus infections at the same time. I came home from the doctor and immediately ordered two Ionic Comfort air purifiers for quick delivery. Her infections cleared up and MORE! Shes sleeping QUIETLY AND PEACEFULLY with her mouth shut and breathing through her nose as I write this review...something that didnt happen easily before we got the air purifiers. Her health and rest were worth every penny.
Im glad I got two.
I think it is perfect, except that on Low it is not completely silent like the previous Ionic Breeze, but I still am glad I got two of them and use them in different rooms.
One of our top purchases of all time
We bought two Ionic Comforts; one for the livingroom and one for our bedroom. We have both wood and carpeted floors. Before, when the sun would shine through the windows, unbelievable amount of particles could be seen suspended in the air. We seem to constantly have sinus headaches and congestion. The first day after turning on the Ionic Comforts, no particles can be seen floating in the air anymore. Our headaches have subsided and we feel much better. I had to clean the units after 7 days of 24 hour per day use. Our only complaint is that on the top setting of 10, the unit fans are quite noisy. We have found that we can live with a setting of 7 and still clean the air.
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.
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
IONIC AIR PURIFIERS
I ordered 2 Ionic Air Purifiers. One had to be returned due to "Hissing" sounds. Needless to say, it was very inconvenient for me to repack a 22 Lb. item and drop it off for return by Federal Express. So far, I havent been informed that it was received and whether or not a Replacement or Refund will be issued. For that reason, Im disappointed.
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.
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.
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.
This helps with alergy problems
The filter is large so it is hard to find a container large enough to cleen the filter in. The manual says to put it in a dish washer. it is to large to fit in a dish washer.
air purifier
Help keeping dust down in my all hardwood house
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.
I have bought more than one!
The ionizer makes our entire house smell wonderfully clean. Easy to clean filter is a real plus. I am having trouble getting the charcoal filter out of the unit to clean.
Ionic Comfort Air Purifier
Easy to clean and runs very quiet
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.
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.
Useful and worth the price
It is very quite and has a sleek design. It is also very easy to clean which is very convenient.
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!
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.
This model is better than the previous
Bought two, one for the living room and one for our bedroom. Works great
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
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.
I would buy a again
I like this product It help me sleep
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.
Product very good - but very noisy.
My husband has allergies and this helps him breath better. Also removes odors from the air. I owned two Ionic Breezes and LOVED them. But my children each took one - so I purchased this item.
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.
Great ionic air purifier
My dad is a smoker and I needed an air purifier that would get rid of the smell in the house. I have had no luck with other ionic air purifiers, as the smoke smell was still strong in the house, so I decided to give this product a try. The power is very strong and does an excellent job keeping the smoking smell to a minimum. Although a bit pricey, I would recommend this product!
Air purifiers
I use the air purifiers in the bedrooms. They keep the air pure and free of toxins.
Adequate, Not Great
I like the product, but the filter needs cleaning way too often. You hear the electrostatic zaps between filter changes occasionally.
Ionic air purifer
It is the best product I have found to remove everything in the house like mold,dust ,mites,alergeys,polon,cat dander,etc,easy to clean.
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.
Love the Ionic Comfort
We use our new Ionic Comfort filters in the bedrooms and only at night. We like the fan because it circulates the air better than the Ionic Breeze did, which did not have a fan, and seem to keep the room cooler. On high, the fan noise is no problem and may even be relaxing. The units have long cards so we like to pull them out into the room at night. My only complaint is this is not easy to do. A suitcase type handle would have been great to have and possible rollers or slides.
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.
Works fine and silent filters the air
We put in our bedroom to filter the air and it seems to be working well, and is very quiet.
Great Product
The product does a great job with cat allergies.
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.
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.
ULTRA FRESH AIR
- expensive replacement filters are not required
- good for persons sensitive to pollen and dust
Comfort Breeze Air Purifier
A purchase I am elated about every day and night! The air in our home is almost drinkable. It is almost hard to believe the difference in air quality. Very easy to clean and the fan control is perfect, even on the high setting. Only wish I had not waited so long to buy the two!
our air cleaner works perfectly
eliminates cooking odors, cleans air
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
Like very much
I bought two about two weeks ago, and I am already having to clean the filters. The filter light came on in about a week. Need better instructions on how to clean. Do you leave in the dishwasher through the drying cycle? I do not want to damage it, so I am cleaning in the sink until I get some feedback.
love it!!!!
We bought this for our living room and it works like a charm! We put the filter in the dishwasher over night and my husband fell asleep on the couch that night and woke up all stuffy since it wasnt on which means it really is working and doing what it is supposed to be doing! I will def be buying another one at some point in the future :O)
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.
Love this product!
Have always used sharper filterless air cleaners and they do exactly as advertised. Keeps air clean pulls dust out of room. I consider my news ones the granddaddy of them all! If you smoke a must for all homes.
I would definitely recommend this produc
I bought two: one for our bedroom and one for our daughters bedroom. It is powerful enough for even larger rooms. After turning it on for a short while, it is obvious the air quality is better. We love em!
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.
Keeping allergy symtoms at bay
We purchased this due to our cat having allergy symptoms. The Ionic Comfort was a good choice because this air purifier captures/filters numerous allergens and is quiet enough so as not to startle the cats. A side benefit to purifying the air is the nice, clean smell without using deodorizers.
(the only reason I did not give this a 5 star is because this is our first air purifier and cannot personally compare to other purifiers)
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.
So Far So Good
Love dish washer method of cleaning. Great for smokers. Seems to work in an even larger area than specified. Attractive design.
New air filters
This new air filter replaced an old Sharper Image unit we bought over ten years ago. The design has been improved for easier filter cleaning and more variable settings for air speed. The only issue is that this unit makes more noise than the previous one so we have set the air speed lower to reduce the noise.
the Breeze
Ionic Comfort- we received our new tower 2 weeks ago. Immediately our living, dining, kitchen areas of our home are cleaner. Smells better- fresh. Two filters, I have already washed the main filter once in our dishwasher. This product is very easy to use / maintain. The ozone filter is a little trickier to remove. Just take a minute when you receive it and use a flashlight to see inside the unit from the back how the ozone filter clips in at the top. I used a pocket knife to pop the clip and remove the filter. Once you do it, you will always know how. White was a concern, but it blends in really well with our décor. We will be ordering more for other parts of our house.
comment
Definitely, you can feel a difference in the room. Would love to have had a choice of black.
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!
love it, have two of them
use it at home all the time.
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.
LOVE IT
I now own two of these units. I know they cost more than others, but worth it. I have purchased others and wasted my money. These are very good and clean the air with little noise. I have one in the bedroom and the living room. I have allergies and with these two units, I am feeling great. Do not hesitate to get one, you will be happy. If it makes a crackle sound on you, check the bottom three connect areas for hair or any collection of paritals and make sure they are clean, I use a Q- tip and the noise ends.
THIS IS THE BEST AIR CLEANER ON THE MARK
PUT IT IN THE LIVING ROOM OR DEN AND WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON (NOT VERY OFTEN) JUST SET FILTER IN DISHWASHER. I ALWAYS HAVE FRESH AIR IN MY HOUSE
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.
Effective air filter
Used 24 hours daily for control of allergens and summertime smoke
Like it
I like this product, it has helped me to gain control of my allergy attacks.
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 love it. Would buy it again
I have always wanted one. I wish I would have gotten a second one half off!
Great Air Cleaner!
Wonderful air cleaner. Truly helps our allergies and the dryness in the home.
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.
Great product
Great product that does the job as advertised. Cord should wrap around under unit. Still cant figure out how to remove the ozone filter. Instruction in manual doesnt help.
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.
Allergy Terminator
I suffer from allergies. This product greatly reduces doctor visits for upper respiratory infections. It also improves sleep by helping keep your airways clear allowing you to breath correctly. If you suffer from alergies and happen to purchase one of these units... i promise you will be a return customer. You cant put a price on good sleep and good health.
Works great in a "doggy" house
Weve always had a couple of dogs in our home, and even though we groom and brush them frequently, we have friends and relatives with allergies so have researched products to eliminate odors and allergens. The Ionic products have greatly helped. We use several throughout our home and clean the filters regularly.
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.
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
quiet and effective
I use it in my bedroom to help keep the air clean and allow me to sleep better.
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!
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.
Its All They Say It Is
I love the Ionic Comfort Air Purifier. There have been a lot of forest fires accross the mountains from us. Now the smokey air has moved into our area. I have asthma and when I am outside I am uncomfortable. When we have visited others homes I also feel it. In our home the air is fresh and clean and I have no problems. Tonight we came home and found one of our dogs had urinated in his crate. It really smelled bad. We washed his blanket and wiped down the crate and turned the air purifier to ten. Within minutes the room smelled wonderful and fresh. This is a great product I would recommend it highly to anyone.
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
CLEAR PURE AIR
I have mine in my bedroom and I breath clear germ free air all night and wake up with a clear head.
filter hard to clean
The Ionic Breeze air purifier takes the "doggie" odor out of our bedroom. It works quickly and quietly.
I had the older model prior to this order, so I can do a little comparison. The current model is much larger, which is a con for me.
The filter needs to be cleaned much more frequently. Which is an ordeal. the directions tell you to put it in the dishwasher - ARE YOU KIDDING!! I would never run my dishwasher with just the filter in it. So I clean it by hand. It is tedious to clean. If you clean it under running water, it takes forever to dry. The older model filter was much easier to clean. I purchased this product because it has a reusable filter. I didnt want to hassle with ordering filters & creating more trash. I wish my older model still worked!!!!
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!
Air purifier
It looks much more durable than the quadra and my room smells extremely good. I clean it very easily and i have no problems about it at all. Worth the money in my opinion. Thanks Sharper Image!
This is our second purchase
We have been usng the Ionic Breeze for over 10 years purchased from Sharper Image and decided to ad 2 more to other bedrooms.
ionic air purifier
Ordered a total of three. Had to return two. One wouldnt turn on, one filter arced and one works great. The one that works great does everything it is advertised to do. Love it!
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!
Good quiet machine
This air purifier really helped me control my allergies and is fairly simple to use
I would buy this again.
Thw purifier works as specified. Does a great job of cleaning up the air. Leaves The air in the room refresh. My wife really thinks it makes a difference with her allergies. I do too. Initially had some problems keeping the filter light off. Finally figured it out. About once a week, I run the filter through the dishwasher. It cleans the thin foils real good. But You also have to the clean the thin wires with a bristle brush like a soft toothbrush. Inbetween I just clean the thin wires every two ro three days along with the metal plate/bars. This procedures keep the unit working fine. I am getting ready to order another one.
Strong ozone odor emitted
Strong ozone odor during operation
In use since March and did not notice any improvement in air quality.
one of the two is having problems
filter light malfunction. Got disconnected from customer service on both calls.
Pet owners delight
If you own any pets this is a must have...it worked on the pet odors instantly!
Great machine
Runs 24 hours per day. Easy to clean and no
filters to replace. Had a different unit for
a few years, but came back to this unit. Will
not make that mistake again.
Thrilled with results
Gave as a gift to my daughter. She is so thrilled that she wants another one. Might have to order one for myself, too!
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.
"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.
Great Purifier
I bought 4 of these. They work great! The filters clean great in the dishwasher. My landlady is a heavy smoker so I have a purifier in every room. I have a english springer spaniel and have noticed these work great with the pet dander and I have noticed a lot less dust. These are a great buy because the air we breathe in our homes is very polluted.
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.
I would buy this again.

I have two of the large version - one for our upstairs loft (family room) and one for our downstairs living room. We have an open floor plan and our large version takes care of the entire downstairs. Our grandson has severe allergies and this has helped significantly. He no longer has red, puffy eyes. We have carpeting and wool rugs and 3 cats - allergy heaven. These air purifiers are quiet and efficient. I would use silent ones in the bedrooms. Whisper quiet and silent are not the same thing. Quiet means you can still hear the fans running, but you can adjust the fan speed to your comfort level. The control slides to infinite degrees of operation. I keep mine on 4. They are not bothersome and still clean the air.
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.
I would buy this product again and again
I purchased 2 sharper image air purifiers for each of my 2 large rooms. Use for dust control as well as allergy problems.
