How does Air Fantastic compare to the Ionic Breeze and Oreck?
The Ionic Breeze and Oreck machine capture particles by charging the air and collecting it on negatively charged plates. Typically, this only cleans an area of approximately 500 sq. ft. As time goes on, the unit becomes less and less effective since the plates are covered with more dirt. This technology generally is not effective in reducing airborne microbial (mold, fungus, & bacteria) in significant quantity and can not reduce surface bacteria. Both machines are rated to not effective in reducing odors. The Air Fantastic machines produces negative ions that neutralized airborne particles and precipitate out of the air (rain down) and fall to the ground. In addition, the natural ions also sanitizes the air from airborne microbial, reduce surface bacteria, and odors. Our larger machines (AF4000) can covers area up to 4,000 sq. ft.
