Sharper Image

I was unaware that this company filed for bankruptcy and I'm now stuck with an air purifier that needs a part. I can't find anyone that carries them. This unit cost 500 and is now useless to me without the bulb

My second Sharper Image air Purifier in now broken. From the sound of it with the increase in allergy symptoms we have experienced, I'm glad. I want my money back for this product 535.00.

I purchased two Ionic Breezes for our home as my husband has bad allergy and asthma. Since we have been using these products I have been developing trouble breathing as well as my husband no needs to take two additional medications for his allergies and asthma. My cats have troubles breathing as well as one now removes most of the hair on his underside. Help!

We purchased 4 Ionic Breeze units and have seemed to have problems since. Not only with headaches, allergies but also with the odor it emits. I have always cleaned them when necessary and recently I noticed an even stranger smell!!! I clean the entire unit again from top to bottom but the odor continued. I took out the main unit to check it out for a third time and I noticed at the base a piece of the plastic had started to burn!! Thankfully I was smart enough to then realize it was the plastic burning that I was smelling so I looked at one of the other units and found it had begun to burn as well.

I am really angry. I only found out about how many problems people were having when I went to search for options on what I could do with these units. At approximately 700 EACH, I am looking at a loss of 2800!!!! I will not continue, obviously, to use any of the other units because I am concerned that they might catch fire in addition to the unhealthy emissions they are putting out. If there is a class action suit out there, please contact me!!

I have tried and don't know where to find a replacement remote control for my robosapien chrome ww250 from Sharper image. please tell me where i can find it without buying the whole thing again. At this price it should have replacement parts available... Thank you

I just called & spoke with a guy named Athen, who said he'll ship me out another air purifier, when I said mine broke down. He said he can do this with any Sharper Image product!

My system was great for reducing dog dander and animal allergens, as well as other allergens in my home. My allergies improved vastly. Plus, it was not the noisy problem that other air filters had been. I bought two and I eventually had a problem with them; the company the replaced them with reconditioned ones.

While doing some research for a client I happened to come across the information about the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze that I have been using for several years. MY allergies have gotten progressively worse over the years but it never occured to me that this machine may have something to do with it. I made darn sure I filled out all the paperwork that cam with the machine so my name and address (WHICH HAS NOT CHANGED DURING THIS TIME) is on record with Sharper Image. They had a moral obligation to notify everyone that had taken the time to register this machine. Had I had any idea this machine made the air worse I'd have personally brought them down. The executives of that company should have to reimburse everyone out of pocket.

I purchased four ionic breeze air purifiers due to my asthma thinking it would improve the quality of air in my home. Not only did it not improve my asthma but I continued to have more attacks than before I had purchased them. Now that I know it wasn't my imagination, I have turned them all off and haven't had an attack since.

I have purchased 8 of these Sharper Image units and as I purchased them (2002-2007) I always bought the upgraded units as recommended by Sharper Image. I have been near death due to the use of these highly advertised machines. In fact, now that I have read these articles I am convinced these machines have been the cause of my diagosed Asthama (2007) and my continual gasping for air to breathe!

These machines were very expensive but, because Ib elieved they would help clean the interior air in my home I bought them through payment plans. Is there any legal action that I can take because of consumer reports settlement from Sharper Image? This product is the cause of my probable demise? I wonder how those profiteers would feel if they had to literally wake up in the night gasping for air?
