Ionic Breeze Air Filters
Remember way back in the late 1980s, when Sharper Image was a cool,
boutique-like place? They had the newest gadgets and a store atmosphere
not unlike the Apple stores of today. Interesting products, innovative
technology, and well-off clientele. Today, in 2002, Shaper Image is a
mess. Been to a store lately? It's packed with life-sized Batman
statues, vibrating chairs, and scads of cheap (but not inexpensive)
gadgets with questionable utility.
They also have Ionic Breeze air
filters. Given the general schlock in the rest of the store, I was
quite skeptical of the expensive ($500) air cleaners. Since they come
with a money back guarantee, I decided to toss aside my doubt and try
'em out.
A month later, I'm pleased to report that it actually works. It really
is silent (it buzzes a little when dirty, but cleaning resolves that)
and it picks up a surprising amount of junk from the air. Now I can't
say that it is efficient enough to make a real difference in air
quality, but there is no doubt it is eliminating some pollutants. (I
mean, it's not like the cleaning blades are self-generating that black
dusty stuff they're covered with.) Even the little "bathroom" model
(which I use in the kitchen) gathers lots of dust and grime over the
course of a couple of weeks.
