Sharper Image SI719 Tabletop Silent Air Purifier with Ionic Breeze

I bought in 2007 this Sharper Image S1719 Tabletop Silent Air Purifier with Ionic Breeze that I used perhaps twice. It is out of order since the first times that I used it. I will not recommend at all, I hate it.IT IS OUT OF ORDER SINCE THE FIRST TIMES THAT I USED IT. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL, I HATE IT. IT BLINKS ONLY. VERY BAD.

Had this model for about a year and it did clean a tiny bit of dust from the air, but after 6 months it started to make the crackle sound randomly. This crackle sound eventually got so bad that to have this thing on would be quite scary, and we did clean it regularly and let it dry overnight. I later looked inside to see that this crackling sound was little sparks of electricity! Really not a worth while item, and didn't seem to safe to have something that would be making sparks constantly. Eventually it seemed to stop working even when we would attempt to use with the crackling sounds.

I loved this air cleaner. I, too, cleaned it often as the directions suggest if not cleaned it can burn out. I used this in my bedroom and while it worked, it was great. Not even a year and it suddenly just stopped working. No light, no cleaning. The Sharper Image website is down stating something great is coming. I just hope it will be a replacement for my broken machine but I won't get my hopes up per the previous comment I read here.

I got one of these 5 years ago and live in an apartment. I set 2 of them up in a cut out between my livingroom and kitchen. I do not have food odors within 2 hours of cooking. This includes bacon. It helped my allergies as well. One of my units quit working and I didn't notice any change but last week when the second one broke I was freaking. My allergies got worse and my apartment smelled like food and for the first time I smelled my cat. As you can see I am on here ordering another one I can't live without it.

This works so well and so quietly that I am going to buy a bigger one for another room in my house.

I purchased this item to replace one that I had - loved my first ionizer. this ionizer is not working. I contacted the seller to get additional information about a condition that is not covered in the manual (flashing blue light). The seller was not helpful at all. I am very disappointed in both, the ionizer and the seller.

Bought 2, 1 stopped working after a couple months. The other one is ok after nearly 1 year.

i just ordered my 4th replacement model. that's right, my FOURTH. my first model lasted one year before it died (and i'm fastidious with my cleaning of the unit), and they have sent me 2 refurbished replacements in the past 2 months that have died within 3-4 weeks after arrival. today they said they will send out a new model based on these problems. and guess what? my original model had a "full five year warranty", but the newer units only have one year on their warranty. gee, i wonder why...............................for the record, i own a quadra as well, and it had never given us any trouble at all.
