anyone owns the new sharper image "Hybrid GP" air purifier? is it working well? does the "ozone guard" work?

Anyone owns the new sharper image "Compound GP" air purifier? is it working well? does the "ozone bodyguard" work? I've read and heard so many intimidating stories about the ozone is toxic. Does the sharper Image's ionic lead-pipe cinch purifier dangerous? any suggestions?


Alan: Abide away from all "air cleaners" that emanate even the smallest amounts of ozone. Ozone is not a part of decent air, it is a highly toxic gas. Proponents of ozone will herald you it is all natural, well arsenic is also all natural but ya don't eat it on your Cheerios in the morning! If you are assessment about something that will clean the air, pick a machine that doesn't emit toxic gasses back into the air. Look for an allergy drain that is not made of plastic and does not use glues in the filter itself. Also, be established to pick a unit that is the right size for the amount of air you need to clean. Don't look at square footage that the fabricator claims the machine can clean, because you live in 3 dimensions not 2! Celebrity the volume of the room (length x width x apex) and then take that number and divide it by the amount of air the filter's motor can move in one notes (the manufacturer will state the air in CFM) and that will tell you how long to get one air swap. Shoot for at least 8 air exchanges per hour. I am sending you a join to an article that tells you in detail how to evaulate all different kinds of allergy filters made by all kinds of companies.
Don't get ripped off!

Looking for home air cleaner? Help me choose?

I was looking at the Sharper Image Composite GP Germicidal Air Purifier. I would get it for like $350. Which is $150 less than advertised. But i heard that they are NOT very talented because they dont push enough air through the filter unlike other HEPA filters which reputedly do. Is that true? I also do know that they save a lot of energy compared to other trade name filters and you dont have to buy $100 replacement filters every year. I dire help please. Also can you please post some reference links. Through you very much.


I am using the Kenmore Advanced 335 & am very pleased with it. I have not had any allergy problems since I started using it. It does have the costly replacement filters & pre-filters though. It is worth the $ to me.

  • Tests at leading research centers show that Ionic Breeze does a great job capturing particles like pollen, dander and other airborne allergens and irritants.

  • Continuous 24/7 Cleaning. All air cleaners should run 24/7 - but noise and high energy costs make that impractical with typical HEPA machines.
  • Silent Circulation. Air circulates with no fan, no motor and no noise. Breathe cleaner air as you sleep in peace, enjoy music, watch a movie or share a quiet conversation.
  • Low Maintenance. Simply plug in and forget it. Every week or so, slide out the collectors and wipe clean.
