I like many other people purchased two Silent air purifiers one at full price and the other for 1/2 off. I have a chronic sinus problem and never had any issues with the product, in fact the machine was very quiet compared to my last air filter. My problem was that they both stopped working at the same time. I always cleaned them together, and the red light went on never went off. At that point the machine didn't capture any more dust. I didn't learn of the bankruptcy until I tried to get in touch with Sharper Image. I don't understand how they can go into bankruptcy, but still advertise their name on so many products that are just now coming out for the holidays. I won't purchase anything with the Sharper Image name again.

my breathing has been completely screwed up. i have trouble breathing correctly now and really am sure this occured after years of use with these machines in my bed rooms. I have had so many sleepless nights, gotten up very drained since I purchased 2 of these Ionic Breezes. My nose is always dried up and have had a nagging chest pain since I started using these units. Now that I have stopped it seems surely my problems are over.

At least two years ago we purchased two Ionic Breeze air cleaners. The first one worked for only a short period of time. We took it back and the store gave us another which also worked for only a short time. When we took this one back, the store had been closed.

I bought two Ionic Breeze Air Purifiers including the 5 year replacement warrenty. The red light comes on and will not go off. I think they should replace them or refund my money. I am not sure of the companies situation. I did spend several hundred dollars on the insurance. I need air purifiers because of allergies. I bought the expensive ones on thier word that they would work or be replaced in 5 years.

Is there any retribution available for purchasers of the Ionic Breeze. I have 2 of them both have stopped working. After reading these reports it's probably best that they did. Just wondering if I can get any of my money back?

I purchased two years ago a Sharper Image Ionic Breeze air cleaner to remove allergens from the air in my bedroom. I now am suffering severly from asthma, bronchitis and sinusitis. I do not know at this time if the severe asthma will be permanent. Please let me know what my rights are in filing suit against Sharper Image.

Purchased a Sharper Image Ionic Breeze Quadra. It is a fire hazard as the GFCI in the room trips within several hours of plugging it in. Appears the unit overheats.

I purchased an ionic breeze air purifier. turns out they don't work and worse yet they become a fire hazard.

I suffer with chronic illness. One of the health issues I have is Multiple Chemical Sesitivity. I heard about this product that claimed to clean all impurities from my home air quality. I purchased three ionic breeze air filters for my home. I have used them for about four plus years. I have come to realize after several years of use that the ionic breeze does not do what it claims.

I didn't realize it at the time but around the same time I bought my ionic breeze filters I started having migrane headaches. My doctor attributed them to my health condition. First I noticed that the ionic breeze did not remove mold spores as stated and did not take unwanted smells from the air. I do not smoke but the folks that occupied my home before me did. I painted ceiling to floor because of the smell of smoke. Even after painting, I could still smell the smoke and the ionic breeze did nothing to omit the smell. If I cook fish, the ionic breeze doesn't omit that or any other smell for that matter. A friend told me of a Consumer Report that came out about the ionic breeze. After reading as much as I could find on the subject, I decided to shut down my filters. Within 48 hours, the first thing I noticed was my headaches were gone. My sense of smell hightened and I sense that the ionic breeze had something to do with my headaches and God only knows what else.

I paid over three hundred dollars a pop for these things and it was a real burden on me financially as I am disabled but thought they would improve my health. I imagine I paid much more in the long run due to the constant electrical draw for the past several years from running these air filters 24/7 for over four years. I now worry that the ozone emitted from these filters may have caused me more health problems and potentially permenant damage. I am under the understanding that the ionic breeze emits too much ozone and can be potentially dangerous. When brought to Sharper Image's attention, they wanted folks to pay for some ozone guard. Are you kidding me??? How is it that companies are allowed to get away with this nonsense? The product should be halted until more testing is done by an independant source. If the product is in fact dangerous, we should be at least compinsated for the monies that we put into the purchase and use of said product.
