I sneeze somewhat frequently without a cold. I have seen ionic air purifiers advertised that claim to address this problem.

Are they effective for this use? Is there a better way?

You may have a dust mite allergy (like me!!) In which case the best thing is to get some static wipes - they're kinda like regular dusters but they're static so they pick up dust VERY effectively and help to combat dust mites

I've got an ion machine in the bedroom. Doesn't have any effect on my allergies.

Wasn't there just a big court case on these things?

Consumer's Union (Consumer Reports) announced they had just won the lawsuit brought by Sharper Image. Or maybe, the announcement was just Sharper Image withdrawing the suit. Seems Consumer Reports reported no significant reduction in airborn particles.

Too bad. I have three ionic air purifiers, though mine have fans (unlike the Sharper Image product). I smoke, and the collecter elements become absolutely filthy, but that doesn't address the question of how much contaminate remains in the air.

I had a couple with HEPA filters, but again, I don't know what percentage of particles they removed from the room. I do know I got tired of buying filters.
