I got two of em last week let em run and these fucking things are amazing. When i went to clean it the shit that it caught made me puke. I give it the two bukkake shots up!!
You can get them for dirt cheap off Ebay directly from Sharper Image. They're refurbs but half the price of the new ones. The little wall units are selling for $20 bucks each, and they retail for $69 or something in the stores...

Cool. They have the $349 ones for $175. Not too bad.
How many square feet do they cover? I bought a hepa filter and it didnt do shit. I am in a loft that is basically a box, its 1200sq ft with 14 ft ceilings.

Any size room will benefit from the continuous removal of harmful particles from the air. As a general guideline, we suggest one Ionic Breeze Quadra for areas up to about 500 square feet (one large room or two smaller rooms).

Yep, there's a reason a bajillion are on eBay - people return them in droves.
They do a good job of picking up big stuff, and making the air smell better. But they do not, and cannot, remove most of the small stuff that people are allergic too (mold spores, pollen, etc.). Only a true .02 hepa filter can do that.
Had one, threw it away, absolutely hated the shitloads of ozone it puts out. Coming into a room after it's been running for a while made me physically ill from the small. That shit CAN'T be healthy.
NASA did research on cleaning air indoors for space travel, etc... They have a list of about 10 indoor plants you can buy to dramatically improve your air quality...

SIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.

Isn't it a bad sign for a product when they've got a flood of them on ebay?
Not necessarily. Some dude in Buttfuck Alabama buys one, can't make the trailer payment, and then sends it back to get out of the payments. Happens all the time.
Lots of companies will dump their returns this way because it beats the 5 or 10 cents on the dollar they'd get for it from a salvage place.
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. "
