Don't fall for the scam that I did. My wife and I had a number of allergy issues that we were constantly taking medications for. We went through a slew of room air cleaners and finally realized that while it seems to collect alot of dust, the dust/air in the home will continue to average out among the rooms. Hence the dust and crap will keep coming. I purchased 3 Ionic Breeze air cleaners and let them run. It seemed that the air smelled clean for awhile, although our symptoms didn't change much. My wife and I began to get coughing fits that wouldn't go away unless we were out of the house. After doing some research, I found that Ionizers produce ozone. It gives that fresh rain smell in the house. It is also a lung irritant. I got rid of those and bought a Broan HEPA/AirExchanger from a contractor here in DC and our runny eyes, nose and sinus headaches went away. I am amazed to what that thing takes out of the air.

I totally agree, Ionic Breeze is a waste of momey. consumerr reports said they didn't clean the air well in their study at all. True HEPA is the only way to go.
