The Ionic Breeze Purifier

If you watch TV with any regularity, you’ve probably seen a number of commercials featuring the ionic breeze purifier lately. From the way they advertise the thing, they make it sound like it’ll solve all your problems and help you live forever. What does the ionic breeze purifier even do anyway, and is it at all worth the hefty price tag?

Personally, I decided that it was worth a shot. As a long time sufferer of allergies, I’ll do just about anything to reduce my symptoms come pollen season. One of the things they focus their marketing on with the ionic breeze purifier is as a way to help fight off allergies. After owning one now for almost six months I have to say I have noticed a marked reduction in allergy symptoms. I’ve had fewer sinus headaches, less sneezing, sniffling and dizziness than before. My ionic breeze purifier certainly hasn’t cured my allergies, like some of their commercials suggest, but it has definitely helped.

Just the reduced allergies made the ionic breeze purifier worth the price for me, but it’s also good for avoiding colds and for generally keeping the air I breath clean. The ionic breeze purifier kills microorganisms in the air, and oxidizes harmful contaminants that are present in all buildings. It does this by utilizing the substance ‘ozone’ which oxidizes pollutants in the air.

The ionic breeze purifier is very quiet, and doesn’t draw a lot of power. This is good because you’re supposed to leave it on all the time. It only draws about 6 Watts, which has a barely noticeable effect on my power bill, and its so silent that I usually forget that I have it. Actually, I wasn’t even sure that it was working right after I first set it up, but soon noticed the reduced odors in the room and realized it was doing its job.
