Air Purifiers

Im doing a report on air filtration devices and Im trying to find the market share for HAPA filters, Ozone Filters, Ionic Filter (Ionic Breeze Sharper Image) and overall how large the market is.

I cleaned what was a normal functioning ionic breeze and now when i plug it back in the cleaning indicator light will not turn off. It will not filter air through it. Has anyone been able to resolve this problem. I have read a TON of not helpful info regarding class action suits and bankruptcies of sharper image but dont really care about any of that I just want it to work again. I have it is to late to do anything about it CAN SOMEONE HELP me. Is there a fuse or something that needs replacing. I have tried to hold the power button down for 30 seconds to reset? the machine but that did not work Please help

Anyone owns the new sharper image "Hybrid GP" air purifier? is it working well? does the "ozone guard" work? I’ve read and heard so many scary stories about the ozone is toxic. Does the sharper Image’s ionic breeze purifier dangerous? any suggestions?

ok so which is better… UV-C purifiers or those ionic breeze things or hepa filters or what? im lookin below 0 range and its a small bedroom proably around 15×20 feet

My mother had an ionic breeze running in the basement all night long on the highest setting. Though the basement is somewhat large, there is no air circulation down there to disperse or diffuse the ozone produced by the "air purifier" as the air conditioning is currently malfunctioning.

I was down there for approximately a half hour when my nose began to burn, and it was at this point that I immediately thought to ascertain whether or not the ionic breeze was on. Seeing that it was, I promptly returned upstairs and the pain in my nose subsided and eventually abated.

I’m asking this because I’m curious if I could, feasibly, have been inhaling unhealthy amounts of ozone - and if so, could my lungs, olfactory lobe in my brain, or any other internal organ have sustained cell damage?

they say on the commercials that it charges the incoming air and the charged dirt, smog, and dust gets attracted to the opposite electrode.
meaning only clean ozone is let out
can the ionic breeze filter out CO2?

Whoever has had experience with air purifiers…particularly those that purify using ion technology (Ionic Breeze, others) will notice that these particular purifiers emit a scent when used. I recently had the chance to experiment with a 3000 sq ft ionic purifier and when fully electrified, the smell was absolutely horrific and overpowering; metallic and awful. Could this be ozone? Thoughts?
Thanks guys. I just did some research. While experimenting with the machine, I looked inside. It was basically a metal mesh sandwiched between two electrodes. This is called the "corona discharge" method for creating ozone. This particular unit could be set so high it could sterilize a room. I can safely conclude it was ozone.

I’ve had my ionic breeze for awhile and really liked. It gave off a nice fresh air smell. I stopped using it (kinda forgot about it when I moved) for about a year. I then plugged it back in and ran it continuously for a week or more. Cleaning it when needed. All the sudden it started giving off this bizarre odor. I can’t really describe it except for it almost smells like dirty dish water. I stopped using it for about 8 more months because of this and then started using it in the room with my birds. It gave off the same smell. I cleaned it over and over and no difference. I decided if I ran it continuously maybe the smell would "work its way out". That hasn’t happened. Now after some googling I found out it is potentially unsafe. The stuff I read said it was ozone, but the ozone gave off the fresh smell. So what is giving off this terrible smell? It gives me headaches and now I’m worried for myself and my birds (2 budgies and a cockatiel). In the future should I go with an air filter/hepa filter etc? Thanks for any info about this mystery smell and a good course of action.

My husband and I are looking to purchase the Ionic Breeze. I really like the idea of no filters. I would however like to ask for some honest opinions before we make this purchase. Does it actually work like it says it will? How about that little Bathroom Ionic Breeze? Does that really work? Do you think that 1 would be enough to cover the whole house or would we need a few of them? If you have purchased one of these or have any experience with one please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

I’m moving into a house with a dog, and I have allergies. However, they are not terrible and I take medicine. I’ve been searching for different ways to help my allergies. So far I have got change the floors from carpet to a hard surface, get a HEPA vacuum cleaner, get allergen pillow cases and mattress covers, replace the filters on the air conditioners, no extra clothe items in the room (including stuffed animals), get an ionic breeze air purifier.
As far as the dog goes I got give him a bath once a week, wipe him down with wet cloth daily, keep out of your bedroom, have good ventilation.
I’m open to a variety of suggestions; However, I cannot replace the dog. Besides he’s a really sweet lab. I’m open to using natural remedies, such as tea or hot peppers to specific cleaning techniques. SO PLEASE SHARE YOUR INPUT AND DIRECT ME TO RELEVANT WEBSITES!
