Clinical Test Results
With Nearly 100% Proven Effectiveness, Why Pay More Than
3 Times As Much!
In a recent study, the XJ-2000 and
the Ionic Breeze were each tested for their ability to remove
particles in a 128 cubic foot chamber. Each removed 99.3% of
particles 5 microns and smaller. A 5-micron particle is microscopic
in size.
However, the XJ-2000 outperformed
the Ionic Breeze when it came to removing particle sizes of 0.3
microns and smaller. In this particle size range, the XJ-2000 was
98.4% effective, and the Ionic Breeze was 98.2% effective.
This is significant since smaller
particles have more of an impact on respiratory health than larger
particles. First, smaller particles remain airborne much longer than
particles more than 0.3 microns in size, and travel much farther
distances. Plus, unlike larger particles, smaller particles are
unable to be captured by the cilia in the nose and throat that
prevent particles from entering the lungs. In addition, smaller
particles travel deeper into the lungs, causing more damage.
In a dental clinic study,
horizontal plates (like those used in the XJ-2100) were found to be
considerably more effective than vertical plates (like those used in
the Ionic Breeze).
Air Purification Effectiveness
The Negative Ion Advantage of
the XJ-2000
The Surround Air XJ-2000
produces a high density of negative
ions, while the Ionic Breeze Quadra air purifiers produce only very
low amounts. The air-cleaning benefits of negative ions are well understood and
established in the scientific community.
With negative ions, it is not
necessary for the airborne particles and pollutants to actually pass
through the air purifier. Government
studies prove the effectiveness of negative ionization for air
purification.
Both brands use metal,
electrostatically-charged dust collector plates to trap airborne
particles.
Price
The XJ-2000 makes it affordable
to purify multiple rooms, or even the entire home.
For about the same amount of effectiveness and coverage,
a single Ionic Breeze Quadra costs more than four times the XJ-2000 Surround Air ionizer.
This allows you to buy three XJ-2000 air purifiers for the price of one
Ionic Breeze. As a result, the XJ-2000 makes it affordable to thoroughly
purify the air in multiple rooms, or even the entire home.

 I
was going to buy an Ionic Breeze, but it was too
expensive. I bought 2 of the XJ-2000 instead and am I glad I
did. I've had them running for only one week and the musty
order is gone. Just a great product at a great price.

Shape and Size
(Compactness)
Compact enough to place on the
bookshelf, counter or just about anywhere.
The Ionic Breeze Quadra is
a tall-standing unit (27 inches tall), while the XJ-2000 Surround Air ionizer is more of a flat,
table-top unit (less than 4 inches tall). This allows the Surround Air ionizers to be placed on
book shelves, entertainment centers, and other higher locations. Due to
its shape, the Ionic Breeze cannot be placed in many of the locations
the XJ-2000 air ionizer can.
Car Plug Adapter
It's like getting a free car
air purifier with your purchase.
Each XJ-2000 Surround Air Ionizer
comes standard with a cigarette lighter adapter so they can also be used
in the vehicle. The Ionic Breeze does not come with this option.
Warranty
Surround Air offers a 3-year
warranty, and Sharper Image offers a 5-year warranty.
Silence
The Ionic Breeze is silent, while the
Surround Air XJ-2000 air ionizer is
virtually silent.

and Collects. The XJ-2000 uses ionic
technology, one of the most effective and practical air-purifying
technologies available. Trillions of air-cleaning negative ions
are circulated throughout the room, while particulate is trapped
on the electrostatically-charged, metal dust-collection
plates inside. * Unmatched
Durability. Stainless steel collector
plates and ion-producing needlepoints.
* High Negative Ion Output. 17 needlepoints creates
trillions per second.
* Traps Particles with

* No Replacement Costs. Just wipe the plate clean
and re-insert.
