How does an "Ionic Breeze" air purifier compare to an air purification device with a HEPA filter?
Question:Does an "Ionic Breeze Quadra" actually purify and move the air around a room as well as a less-marketed, often less-expensive HEPA filter device?
Answers:
depends on if you want 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 make the dirt stick to its filter rods. its amazing how much it picks up. I live in a dusty state, so I have to clean them once a week or so, but thats all dirt I am not breathing. It does create ozone, tho, which some say is not good for you, so I turn mine off at night when I am in the room. But it keeps the room smelling fresh while it is working. I have also tried several filter type cleaners, also, but I dont like haveing to buy the expensive hepa filters, and while they do filter the air pretty well, it gets to be a pain, 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 filter, tho, I just wipe it down with a couple of handi wipes once a week, and thats it. I bought mine at a thrift store for 5 bucks, tho... so Thats quite a discount from the Sharper Image price.
Compare filter replacement prices. We got rid of our HEPA filter purifier because the filters were 1) hard to find replacements and 2) costing us much more than we thought it was worth.
