Guide to Ionic Breeze Air Purifiers

Jim Davies — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 14:06:15 +0000

The thing that makes Ionic Breeze Air Purifiers unique is that they don\’t have a fan or filter. By using charged air fields they utilize ionizer technology to clean air. The difference in the charge between the air causes a movement in the pressure level. This process means that pollen, dust or other particles are captured by the charged plates as they move past. The existence of the charged field means that the air is forced between the plates without the need of a noisy fan.

The thing I like about breeze air purifiers is that they are practically silent when they clean the air. I know of many larger air purifiers that make so much sound that they can only be used in a noisy setting. Whilst ionic purifiers don\’t need filters they will still need to be cleaned and I recommend that you clean them every 10 days with a damp cloth.

Without the need for a fan,
