Before that, an air cleaner or air purifier was a luxury product or was only for those with allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems.

Old air purifiers were boxy and unattractive. They took up a considerable amount of floor, table or shelf space and some fans were quite noisy when in operation. The Ionic Breeze was a hit immediately as buyers told friends about the great air purifier that made the air smell so clean.

The negative ions produced ozone which is a natural odor eliminator in the air. The sleek tower styling of this Sharper Image product was appealing as was the quiet operation promised. Most importantly, constant television ads and infomercials pushed the product day after day into the homes of consumers.

Unfortunately, it was not a great air cleaner either and it was not long before buyers were asking how to repair an Ionic Breeze air purifier. The Ionic Breeze is quiet because there is no fan to circulate air through the filtering system.

Filters in an air cleaner can only remove particles from air that cycles through the filter. The thin collector plate of this air purifier is almost useless in removing particulates in room air. Pollen, dander and dust continue to be airborne in a room where the Ionic Breeze is running. The popularity of these units was based on the perception of clean air that is caused by the release of negative ions and ozone. This is the same "fresh" smell you notice just after a thunderstorm passes through.

Lightning produces ozone as a natural by-product of negative charges created by the lightning flash. At the time the Ionic Breeze was at the height of its popularity, we did not know the full dangers of releasing ozone into the air we breathe.

Ozone produced out of doors quickly dissipates in the open spaces. Indoors, it is trapped in the room and those present are breathing it into their lungs.

Wash the grid with warm soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry for 24 hours before returning to unit. Page Additional Information Additional Information The exterior of the unit can be cleaned using a cloth or sponge and a solution of one part household bleach to five parts water or any bleach based spray cleaner.

In the event repair is not possible, The Sharper Image will either replace this product with one of similar features and price, or refund the full purchase price of the product, whichever you prefer.
