Product Details
- Amazon Sales Rank: #316809 in Home
- Brand: Sharper Image
- Model: SI397
- Dimensions: 5.00 pounds
Features
- Room air cleaner circulates and cleans air with no motor, no fan and no noise. Key features include absolutely silent operation; proven efficient air cleaning; odor reduction; no replacement filters; low energy use; lightweight, attractive housing; continuous air cleaning.
- 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.
- Suggested for rooms up to 270 sq. ft.

AVOID
By Detra Fitch
I purchased this after an informercial. My warrenty was for 3 years. Lucky for me, since 14 months after receiving the unit it died with no warning.
The manufacture made me return it AT MY OWN EXPENSE and then they sent me a new unit. Took 2 months.
Well, the new unit arrived 8 days ago. It died an hour ago. I called the customer service and refused to pay to send it back AGAIN.
They ARE sending me out a new unit (again), but it will take up to 10 business days to receive. They agreed to send a pre-paid shipping label this time too. (Could take a month though.)
Meanwhile, I have nothing. After reading the reviews below, I could have kicked myself. I subscribe to the online version of Consumer Reports so did what another did...looked it up. Consumer Reports says this Ionic Breeze only "removes a few particles from the air", nothing else. They also did the test, as the infomercial showed, of putting the Breeze in an enclosed space with smoke and turned it on. It did NOT do what the infomercial said. It did not "power through smoke". It did nothing.
I am taking the advice of Consumer Reports. I am refunding my money on the Breeze and purchasing "the high-scoring Friedrich C-90A and Whirlpool AP45030HO models" which DOES work...and work well.
Avoid the Ionic Breeze unit, for the home AND/OR the car.

By Edward Cheek
I bought it, took it out of the box, plugged it in and turned it on. I was very happy! At first. Then the thing stated to make hissing noises as if to indicate it was not happy. I turned it upside down as the instructions suggest to free debris from the wires. It went silent for a day or so. When the machine worked It was great, my home smelled fresh and clean -sort of the way my favorite shirt would smell after leaving it by a swimming pool all day in Palm Springs. Clean/nice smell. The bad news; just after the warrenty expired the thing just died! This consumer was NOT happy with the "ionic breeze." I have no Ions nor breezes just a worthless piece of plastic sitting on my living room floor. My opinion would be they're too fragile or poorly made just now. DON'T WAISTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.

The devil is in the details
By Jim Thorpe
I acquired three of these units between 1999 and 2001 from my American Express Rewards program. My significant other read all of the ozone concerns, so we bought the $10 ozone guard a year ago. The guards seem to be dishwasher safe. Cleaning the main units is still a pain. The collection grids can be removed and I carefully run water over them directly. However, do not reinsert them into the main unit until the grids are completely dry!! I still haven't found a great way to clean the main unit. One time I tried using a Q-Tip soaking in rubbing alcohol to get in between the slits. Then I realized that life was too short for such work. Now, I use a feather duster and force it through the slits. It's still not easy, but if I do it every month, then the unit seems to stay and look somewhat clean.I did have two units stop working. In one instance, it was my fault. However, I was able to take both back to my local Sharper Image store and had new units instantly. The clerks never checked my receipt nor asked any questions. I have also heard that clerks will sell you an extended warranty for $20 and then replace your broken unit on the spot. This seems a good avenue for customer service. So if you have problems, try this approach before calling the company on the phone.Finally, I will comment that this unit worked spectacularly when we lived next door to a smoker. The smoke would seep through the walls (no kidding) and we had no solution that worked. Finally, I put the unit near the wall and left it on "Hi" all the time. Within a few hours the lingering smoke smell left forever. We also left a few months later. These units have made SEVEN moves! I am a loyal user.
