THe Ionic Breeze is a joke.

Consumer reoprts rated this and 15 other air cleaners in feb of 2002.

They were the only not certified by AHAM (an independant org that measures the amount of pollen, dust and tobacco) taken out of the room - and the reason is obvious - it doesn't work worth crap. You might as well put tape out to filter the air.

If you go to the sharper image store and check it out - you will see there is no way the amount of "breeze" that is blowing could possible clean anything more than a small closet.

Consumer reports gave it 1 out of 100 - the second worst model was a 28 out of 100.

Here is what they said:

"The other electronic-precipitator model, the Sharper Image SI637 Ionic Breeze Quadra Silent Air Purifier, proved unimpressive in our tests. Ads for this unit tout its silence and miserly power consumption. Both are attributable to its lack of a fan. But so is its disappointing performance; we found almost no measurable reduction in airborne particles. "
