What was Ionic Breeze?
Ionic Breeze was a product of The Sharper Image, a brand specializing in high-tech products which at its peak operated over 180 stores in the United States, alongside an extensive online presence. The Ionic Breeze was a portable purifier that made use of an air ionizer. Air ionizers work by giving air molecules an electric charge, which makes them attach to particles in the air. Theoretically, the intention is that this will help collect unwanted particles in the purifier’s filter by making them “stick” in its collection blades. Possibly because this process seemed more high-tech or cutting-edge than traditional air filters, Ionic Breeze was a popular filter for a time, and sold more than two million units.
