Is this like the Ionic Breeze air purifiers? They moved the air electronically, and had metal collection plates. I had 4 of them. Only one works now,

Yes it is. I said it was not as powerful as the Ionic Breeze (we had 5 of those) but it works. It is goldenrod season and ragweed season here, and the unit needed cleaning as it was hissing. Turned it off to clean it later, forgot for two days. Both mornings we woke up stuffed up. Cleaned it, started it in the morning, and that night and the following nights, no allergies. Same principle as the IBreeze, now a better design. Likely will get some more.

Yes...the same...I wipe off the collection plates about once a week. I'm very happy with mine...quiet and efficient.

Yes, we have had ours for the past two years and I have to clean it about once a month. It works

I think there may be a difference between an ionizer and an ozone generator. I'm looking at the same EPA page as you, compare "electronic air cleaners" to "ozone generators": http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/airclean.html#What%20Types

I'm sorry to hear of your problems; it really doesn't seem fair. The expense of returning the thing should definitely not be yours! Dehumidifiers are uniquely problematic, it seems. Our Kenmore and Frigidaire models worked beautifully until they stopped working, and the time was pretty short. We may have better luck with the Soleus.... but as I think I mentioned in my review of it, it's because these contraptions seem to require replacement quite often that we buy relatively cheap ones. My only advice, and you may have tried it already, is to HOWL at these people, long and loud. Be a squeaky wheel. Maybe their sense of fairness will kick in.

ive gotten one (actually 2 but have only installed 1) and was worried too but I have no problem with mine.It has lasted through a move where it had to be removed and reinstalled at the new place.only thing I would suggest is that if you do remove it and reinstall it make sure that the air tube isn't twisted

STOP, this unit does not work at all. I bought it and returned it as the worthless quasi science trinket that it is...Don;t believe me? Start here...http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=air+purifier+test+consummer+report&view;=detail&mid;=05E963D652ABC2AA9AE105E963D652ABC2AA9AE1&first;=0&FORM;=NVPFVRIn short "about as good as nothing at all"...

yes, it is a negative ion generator, and it has worked very well for my allergies, no filters to replace, I just clean the black pad with a trickle of water and soap when it gets dusty, it works by negatively charging the dust particles in the air and grounding them so they can be picked up with a vacuum or cleaned, when there are too many negative particles in the air it creates static electricity, in that case I turn mine off for a few hours and then turn it back on, it works on my 1100 sq foot home.

I bought 2. One has already died, the second one is still works, and I replaced the filter twice in about a year. The filters are expensive to replace so I decided not to a replace a third time. I bought a new Hunter air purifier that has a prefilter and the filter inside I can vacuum.

I also have no idea how the ionizer works. I remember having read somewhere in another context that negative ions improve air quality, but i can't even be real specific about that. I do recall that the air felt pretty fresh during the six weeks before the thing quit on me. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

You can try cleaning the filter in the back. It's supposed to be cleaned regularly, and mine has blown cold air when the filter needed cleaning. Also, if you do not let it go through it's cool down process when you turn the heater off, it will not heat up properly when you turn it back on. Or at least that is a problem I have had with mine. I have two other infrared heaters--they aren't EdenPure, but they also will cease to work when the filters are dirty. I'm assuming it is a safety function.

I have 3 dogs and totally understand the dusty, believe me! :) I have two of these and have had them about 3-4 months now. I can definitely tell some difference in how much dust there is. Granted, I still have dust, just less of it. Just to see how well they were working, I checked my filters a few days ago (remember, I have only had these 3-4 months) and they were jam packed full of dust and were in need of changing. I have new filters on the way! I will be changing them way more frequently then they suggest, that's for sure. Now, I'm thinking that MAYBE if you don't currently use a purifier, that maybe that because of all the yucky stuff in the air that it's pulling out for the first time, maybe the first filters should be changed much sooner, and maybe after the initial air cleaning you can go longer between filter changes. At least that's what I am hoping. We'll see. I hope this helps with your question! :)

Amazon emailed if i would answer this question, sorry no. i still use Breeze. im sure you are cleaning the middle part?

it is a great air cleaner but for allergy I would get the ones that pull dust from the air, like the ionic ones. This is great cleaning the air and making it smell great for things like smoke, I'm a smoker but no one smells smoke when they come to the mancave. I run this along with ionic air cleaners to get rid of dust they work great in combo you might want to think of getting both. Hope this helps.

You can also probably look for a replacement filter for the NUK Hepa-Type Air Purifier, I think its the same air purifier only marketed towards babies and more expensive. Keep in mind I have not done this myself, but it looks like the same unit.

Because it is, thank God, probably broken. Count yourself lucky because a) if you read my review you would know that when EcoQuest's fradulent devices work they are sometimes potentially harmful and always useless and b) perhaps you will now buy a device that is both safe and effective. Check out reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere of reputable, certified air cleaning devices. You should also take a look at the website of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturer (aham.org) for a list of verified devices that actually work.

Supposedly the "negative ions" produced by the Truman Cell (I think?) actually reduce Ozone, according to some of the company info I read today. It even says that since the negative ions cause dust to be "heavier", not to arrange the air purifier in such a way that it draws the room air over you while sleeping. Presumably the heavier particles it's trying to capture, will land on you and you'll be breathing in the dust and pollen, etc before the Truman Cell can get them. Sounds good to me. And the air does have a weirdly fresh odor, to me. My DH, on the other hand, "don't smell anything!". (which is the whole point.)

I have a Holmes tower fan and 3 Honeywell table fans. They work fine but are impossible to clean. I have tried every type of brush, vac, qtips, pipe cleaners. I called Holmes and rep said that the fans are not made to be taken apart. UGH. I guess now, like most products, fans are meant to be disposible. I am sick of this type of rip off.
