Sharper Image Ionic Breeze 3.0 Compact Silent Air Purifier Description
"I purchased this after an informercial. My warrenty was for 3
years. Lucky for me, since 14 months after receiving the unit it died with no
warning.
The manufacture made me return it AT MY OWN EXPENSE and then they sent me a new
unit. Took 2 months.
Well, the new unit arrived 8 days ago. It died an hour ago. I called the
customer service and refused to pay to send it back AGAIN.
They ARE sending me out a new unit (again), but it will take up to 10 business
days to receive. They agreed to send a pre-paid shipping label this time too.
(Could take a month though.)
Meanwhile, I have nothing. After reading the reviews below, I could have kicked
myself. I subscribe to the online version of Consumer Reports so did what
another did...looked it up. Consumer Reports says this Ionic Breeze only
"removes a few particles from the air", nothing else. They also did the test, as
the infomercial showed, of putting the Breeze in an enclosed space with smoke
and turned it on. It did NOT do what the infomercial said. It did not "power
through smoke". It did nothing.
I am taking the advice of Consumer Reports. I am refunding my money on the
Breeze and purchasing "the high-scoring Friedrich C-90A and Whirlpool AP45030HO
models" which DOES work...and work well.
Avoid the Ionic Breeze unit, for the home AND/OR the car." |
