If you suffer from asthma attacks, allergies, or are particularly susceptible to the flu, an air purifier should be a must have on your shopping list. Air purifiers use a number of different filtering and neutralizing technologies to rid the air of impurities, especially those that trigger the above mentioned conditions. Most air purifiers use filters to trap particles, but these filters can be expensive to replace and hard to clean. Therefore, a better option is the Quadra air purifier, an air cleaning device that uses electrostatic technology to remove harmful microbes from the air you breathe.
The Quadra air purifier is part of the Ionic Breeze line that is put out by Sharper Image. It works along the same lines as any other electrostatic purifier. The Quadra sits in a corner of your room or office and should be kept running twenty four hours a day. Don’t worry about your electricity bill, however, as it only pull fifteen watts of energy to keep running. When it is running, the air in the room in pulled into the machine. Inside there is an electrode that attracts any free floating particles in the same way that your clothes are attracted to each other after you take them out of the dryer through static electricity. The particles are then ionized, which means that they are given a charged. Charged particles want to become neutral and they do this by finding a grounded object, such as a wall or ceiling. The Quadra air purifier has such flat and neutral surfaces inside the machine itself to attract these charged particles. If the particles don’t stick to the inside of the machine, they will quickly adhere themselves to your floor or furniture after leaving the purifier. What is important is that they are no longer floating freely in the air.
If you want a convenient way to purify your air, you couldn’t do much better than the Quadra air purifier. First of all, it is incredibly energy efficient. Second of all, it is very unobtrusive and can easily fit into any home or office space. It is shaped like a stick, much taller than it is wide. However, it is only twenty eight inches tall, just over the height of most chairs. This means that you can tuck it in a corner or underneath a table, if that is what your space constraints allow. It is also very easy to maintain. Occasionally you should remove the trap and rinse it with hot, soapy water, but there are no filters that need to be specially cleaned or replaced at great expense. It is also very portable and can easily be shifted from room to room or even taken on trips if you are worried about hotel rooms triggering your allergies.
Quadra air purifiers have a sleek image. They are gray and black and reminiscent of a skyscraper. An easy carrying handle is cleverly camouflaged on the top of the unit. If you want a cheap and quiet way to remove harmful particles from your air, you couldn’t do much better than the Quadra air purifier.
