Ionic Breeze Air Cleaner vs HEPA Filter Air Purifier?
I am trying to minnimize the "stale air" smell mixed with food odors that we have in our apartment. My spouse is CRAVING fresh air but not sure which one I should get. My grandmother had an IONIC Breeze type unit years ago and I loved the smell but not sure my spouse would respond the same. They nearly hate everything that I like so I am thinking about the air purifier with the charcoal insert. Anybody have any luckw ith these? The "customer reviews" on Amazon.com and other websites seem as if they are written by the manufacturers anyway.

HEPA and a carbon filter would be my choice. Most of the Ionic Breeze type devices emit ozone, which is a major lung irritant and can cause asthma-like symptoms in just about any one. Not to mention that ozone is very tough on furnishings.

The upshot was, Karen ditched the "purifier" she’d borrowed from a friend, and her asthma symptoms were gone in a few days…
A few people I know have the Ionic Breeze and love it. I’m not sure about the other one, but if I were you I’d probably get the Ionic Breeze. Tell your spouse that beggars can’t be choosers, haha.
i bought the ionic breeze about six years ago. i swear by it. very effective and easy to clean.
the absolute best purifier is the atmosphere purifier. It’s been shown in the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition TV show. It removes up to 99.99% of the airborne particles. Has a HEPA filter, 5 speeds of air flow, timer. The Ionic breeze only removes 43%. It has no remote control.
