Is the sharper image ionic breeze with ionic guard still dangerous?

Awhile back, there was a big hype about the ionic breeze producing ozone which is very tricky to our health. But now they come with these new "ozone guards." I was reflective of buying one for my mom, but of course I wouldn't destitution her to submit her to ozone. Does anyone have actual evidence that these things are safe? Or should I just go with a noisey hepa seep?


No, even with the catalyst (ozone guard), it still emits a expressive amount of ozone.

Is the ionic breeze good at eliminating odors?

I decipher on consumer reports that the ionic breeze is worthless when it comes to purifying the air. But I don’t attend to if the air is clean; I just don’t want it to stink. I have two sugar gliders, and they have aroma glands that kind of stink. I’m curious if anyone with an ionic breeze, or something comparable, is fortuitous with its ability to eliminate odors in the home. Also if anyone can recommends something wagerer.

Absolutely, baking soda works better. Condign put baking soda on your carpets, let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes and vacuum it up. You can do the same to upholstery. It works vast.

What can owners of the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze do now?

Can they get their medium of exchange back or anything? Is there anything conclusive that would urge these owners to turn off their ionic breezes? Thanks.


Ostensibly independent testing found that these electrostatic "air purifiers" do not significantly decrease indoor air pollution, and they generate levels of ozone which may be unsafe to ozone-petulant individuals. (such as older or younger people, or people with unchanging respiratory conditions.)

How does an "Ionic Breeze" air purifier compare to an air purification device with a HEPA filter?

Does an "Ionic Breeze Quadra" in reality purify and move the air around a room as well as a less-marketed, often less-expensive HEPA drip device?


depends on if you craving to buy replacement filters or not. I have a smaller version of the ionic breeze,about a foot high, and tho it doesnt move air like a fan does, it does move enough air to transform the dirt stick to its filter rods. its staggering how much it picks up. I live in a dusty state, so I have to evacuate a clean them once a week or so, but thats all dirt I am not breathing. It does dream up ozone, tho, which some say is not good for you, so I turn mine off at night when I am in the apartment. But it keeps the room smelling fresh while it is working. I have also tried several leach type cleaners, also, but I dont like haveing to buy the up-market hepa filters, and while they do filter the air pretty well, it gets to be a pang, because the store may discontinue them after a while, and I have to search for some other place to get them, etc. The ionic breeze never needs a sieve, tho, I just wipe it down with a couple of handi wipes once a week, and thats it. I bought mine at a penuriousness store for 5 bucks, tho... so Thats thoroughly a discount from the Sharper Image price.

Why does my Ionic Breeze spark? Is it dangerous?

We have an Ionic Breeze Quadra that's about four years old. The other day I was laying on the love-seat and I saw sparks come off of it? We clean the filter often and have no other problems. My husband thinks that it started doing that because the dog has knocked it over a yoke of times. Any thoughts?


Sparking from an Ionic Breeze may or may not be a complication. If it is an electrical connection spark, that would be a bad thing. If it is dust hitting the elements, that would presumably be just normal operation. The problem is the ozone that the thingamajig is designed to generate. You should check out some of the references on the web allied to these devices and think about whether or not you want to keep using it at all.

Sharper Image
Sharper Image Ionic Breeze 3.0 Compact Silent Air Purifier (SI397)
Home (Sharper Image)
List Price: $299.99
  • Tests at leading research centers show that Ionic Breeze does a great job capturing particles like pollen, dander and other airborne allergens and irritants. Quadra Compact has been tested at America's leading allergy research center, prominent universities and independent labs to confirm its efficient trapping of airborne particles of one micron or larger.
  • Save money! There no messy, expensive filters to find, buy, store and replace. Quadra is an electrostatic precipitator that charges airborne contaminants and traps them on oppositely charged stainless steel collectors that wipe clean. Quadra Compact is powered by only 6 watts. Compared to high-watt HEPA machines, it pays for itself in less than a year.
  • Cleans 24-7! Turn off a noisy HEPA air cleaner and air pollution goes right back to where it started. All air cleaners should run continuously but noisy fans and expensive 200-watt power demands make that impractical with those big HEPA machines. Silent, low-energy Ionic Breeze is designed to run continuously. Plug into 3-prong outlet.
