Ionic air purifiers' dirty little secret: They don't get rid of...

I installed an Accu-Clean air cleaner (from American Standard) when i changed my a/c and i havent had a runny nose since.

This product is very dangerous for anyone with any lung disease asthma, bronchitis, COPD,Emphysema etc....

Very happy these devices have been tested, I've always been interested in the truth, shaper image always has used hipe to sell products.

I have one of these in my bedroom.To the critics,could you please tell me why I have to dust half as much? Also what exactly is all that black stuff I clean off the ionic rods with a damp wrag?

I'd like to know also..I clean all kinds of black goop from my I.B.

Yes blame that on Passive Smoke from down the Street right ?

I knew it! I just knew it. I just knew when those Ionic Breeze infomercials first started showing a few years back that this was a bunch of junk...and I laughed, thinking of all the clueless people who would gladly fork over $400 bucks for this unit and brag to their friends and family about how their air was "so clean". No wonder Sharper Image is closing it's doors. It knew the product didn't work like they claimed.

They didn't say that it doesn't collect "anything". They only said that once those grids are covered with that black stuff....it loses it's ability to collect more, so all the "charged" particles head right through the grids and back out into your room and your lungs. The logic makes sense when you think about it.

Someone is always trying to peddle crap to gullible consumers. I'll bet thousands of people swear by these devices. When you can make millions of dollars of pet rocks, Chia pets, and magnetic bracelets, a little scientific mumbo-jumbo will open the wallets of millions.

Each IB has a red light that comes on when it needs cleaned.I love my IB and everyone I know loves there IB too.If you don't like them don't buy one.

Consumer Reports magazine has been saying this at LEAST five years now. In fact, Sharper Image even sued Consumer Reports and SI LOST because indeed it doesn't- and never did -.work!

I LOVE CHIA PETS (and Sea Monkeys too!)

There's a new air purifier coming in July that will change the entire air purifier market. It's from Texas-based Alen Corporation and is called the "Paralda".

It will be the only air purifier on the U.S. market that does remove dust and particles from the air with its advanced HEPA filter - but in addition it will be the only LEAD FREE air purifier. All these other air purifiers contain lead. It will also be Energy Star rated (approved by the EPA and U.S. Department of Energy)- and ozone safe.
