If you or anyone in your family suffers with allergies, asthma or other breathing problems, then having a home air purifier is virtually a must. And, if you are a person who enjoys the latest high-tech gadgetry, then an ionic air purifier could be the right choice for cleaning and purifying the air in your home.

The ionic air purifier first took center stage with a huge marketing effort by the large cataloger and retailer Shaper Image, with their Ionic Breeze Air Purifier. While similar technology for air purification had existed before, Sharper Image made some advancements in design and had the marketing muscle to make their purification systems a household name in no time.

Once Sharper image brought the ionic air purifier to market with a bang, other manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon to bring their brands out, with some differences, but based on the same idea. One of the main distinctions between HEPA air cleaners and ionic purifiers is that the ionic machines do not rely on filters that get clogged and have to be replaced.

Instead, ionic air purifier technology relies on the use of electrostatic plates to apply charge to the pollutants in the atmosphere of the home. When the charged particles pass through the unit, they are electrostatically attracted to collector blades inside the unit. Then the indoor pollutants can be simply wiped off the collection blades for easy disposal of the contaminants.
