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.

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 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.

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.

This purifier works great when it works, but I just threw away my third tabletop purifier today. Something about this model does not stand up to the test of time. Sorry, I have waisted money and time (a little over a year since the first one was bought) with this model. I have Sharper Image's bathroom (small space)model--no problems in a year but I am afraid to try one of their bigger models after the tabletop mess.

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

I'm on my replacement one right now since the 1st one stopped working within a month. My second one doesn't seem to be working right either. I wouldn't waste money on this.

I purchased two of these. Within one year one had to be returned. They sent a new one. Now 1 1/2 years later both of them are not working. I noticed they reduced their "lifetime" warranty to 5 years. I'll be sending both of these back providing they allow me to.

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

Love this machine. I've had it for years! Is the smell it lets off ozone? Either way, it worked wonderfully and I couldn't be happier... except that now I want bigger one so I can have them throughtout my house.
