  • I am very satisfied so far
    I've had my unit for a year now. Yes, it does work. All you need to do is look at the blades and see that it collects alot of dark black particles out of the air that you would be breathing into your body. I also have a Bionaire filter cleaner that does not work nearly as well and is alot noisier. The only negative to the Ionic Breeze is the ESD it gives off that affects any electronic products nearby. Keep it away from stereos, tv's, computers etc. I think I damaged by DSL modem by placing the IB next to it. ...more info
  • Bad for me too...Loved it at first and now it just doesn't turn on!
    I really should have looked up people's reviews prior to purchasing this unit. Mine just stopped working. I cleaned out the inside with air, I've been cleaning the insert all along and it just stopped! What a waste of money. Haven't tried to talk to Sharper Image about it yet but I'm not hopeful....more info
  • MUST use with ozone guard
    Mine picks up a lot of dust. I have to clean it every few days. The blades turns completely black. You must buy it with the ozone guard, otherwise it will be unhealthy. One great thing the unit does is get rid of bad smell. Once I forgot to open the fireplace vent when i lit the fire and smoke filled the house. I used it suck up all the dust and the smell. I was able to get back in my place to sleep that night without breathing problem. Of course i also needed to vacuum and clean all the surfaces. I think this unit is only helpful. The most important thing is to vacuum your carpet and to clean your house often....more info
  • Doesn't do anything...
    I bought my Ionic Breeye at Linens 'n Things. It doesn't work. It turns on, the light lights up, I feel a light breeze coming out ... but it doesn't clean the air. My home doesn't smell any different or fresher... Total waste of money. I am returning this unit. All this excitement for nothing!...more info
  • An Amazing Invention
    I highly recommend this product to asthmatics and allergy sufferers. We have both in out family and this technology has contributed greatly to our comfort in a variety of climates and environments.

    Although my most recent purchase was the Ionic Breeze v. 3.0 (the compact version) our family's first exposure to the product was seven or eight years ago when we bought several full-sized units for our business. Like many office buildings, ours had too little fresh air circulating into the various areas of the offices, and employees were becoming more vulnerable to respiratory ailments as the years went by. (This took place in New York.)

    Within a couple of days of installation of the Ionic Breeze units the employees who were the most sensitive to air quality (including my spouse, the owner) experienced a marked change in the ease of their breathing.

    We were sold on the product and immediately bought more units for the house, which was over 60 years old with plaster walls and both a wood-burning fireplace and a woodstove; we had need for more air cleaning all winter. (Our central A/C unit was "superfiltered" but generally only ran June-August.)

    Now we live in Houston, Texas, and the air quality problems are entirely different. The combination of rain and heat and generally high humidity contribute to high pollen counts during the warm weather and mold when it's cool. We bought two compact units for the house, and we have had no respiratory problems in 9 months, even through allergy season.

    The only drawback to the units -- and it is as noticeable in the smaller as it was in the larger -- is that a working unit can give off a slight acrid, almost "burned" odor as it filters particles out of the air and emits ozone. We had a group of people here the other day and somone noticed the smell and asked if some bit of paper was burning. I have gotten so used to it that I didn't identify the source until later. I do not find it unpleasant, it simply confirms that the unit is doing its job and cleaning the air we are breathing.

    If you need help with air quality, these units will, in my experience, live up to their claims. ...more info
