Intelli-Pro Air Purifier
Vs.
"Ionic Breeze^TM Quadra"

The Intelli-Pro drastically outperforms the Ionic Breeze in clinical tests, yet is still less expensive.

Quick Look Comparison:

Clinical Test Results

More Effective, But Only Half the Price!

In recent laboratory tests, the Intelli-Pro air purifier outperformed the Ionic Breeze across the board, in extremely convincing fashion. In both the toxin removal test and smoke particle removal test, the disparity in results between the two air purifiers was drastic.

Hydrogen Sulfide (a.k.a. "Sewer Gas") Test

Hydrogen Sulfide (H²S), a strong gas created by stagnant sewage, is one of the very worst, and most difficult-to-remove pollutants known to man. An air purifier's ability to remove H²S is a good indication of its ability to remove strong odors and volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). In this test, the Intelli-Pro proved to be 98% effective, while the Ionic Breeze was only 13% effective.

Smoke Particle Removal Test

In a recent study, the Intelli-Pro air purifier and the Ionic Breeze were each tested for their ability to remove particles in a 128 cubic foot chamber. The Intelli-Pro removed better than 99.9% after just 15 minutes, while the Ionic Breeze removed just 43% after 27 minutes.

Particle Removal

High-Efficiency Filters are Much More Effective.

The reason the Intelli-Pro is much more effective than the Ionic Breeze, is due to the fact that it features a high-efficiency particle filter (HEPA). HEPA filters are widely considered the most effective type of filter against solid particles, such as dust and allergens. The Intelli-Pro also has an electronic, or electrostatic filter like the Ionic Breeze, but with greater surface area.

Destruction of Micro-Organisms

Germicidal UV lamps are the most effective air purification tool available for destroying micro-organisms such as germs, viruses, bacteria and mold. The Ionic Breeze Quadra does not offer this added germicidal protection, but the Ionic Breeze GP does. The Ionic Breeze GP is priced at $499.

Fan versus No Fan

Greater Air Flow Means Greater Effectiveness.

The Ionic Breeze is fan-less, making it virtually silent. The Intelli-Pro uses a fan that is fairly quiet (especially on the Quiet setting), making it effective at drawing a high volume of particulate through its filters. The fan also circulates the negative ions much more thoroughly throughout a room or area compared to a fan-less ionic air purifier.

Chemical & Odor Removal

The Intelli-Pro also features an activated carbon filter, the most effective type of filter available for trapping chemicals, gases, cigarette smoke and other odors. The Ionic Breeze does not offer anything like this, as evident by its poor performance in the toxin removal testing (13% removal compared to 98% removal rate by the Intelli-Pro).

Sensor Technology

In addition to the impressive collection of air purification methods found in the Intelli-Pro, it also offers unprecedented diagnostic capabilities, none of which are found in the Ionic Breeze. First, it's sensor technology monitors the air quality, so you know just how clean or polluted the air really is. Second, it tells you the type of pollutants found in the air. Furthermore, it tells you when filters need to be replaced, and when the metal, electronic dust collector needs to be cleaned.

Ion Output

The Negative Ion Advantage of the Intelli-Pro Air Purifier.

The Intelli-Pro produces air-cleaning 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.

Noise

The Ionic Breeze is virtually silent, but the Intelli-Pro is still very quiet, especially on the "Quiet" setting. However, the silence advantage of the Ionic Breeze does little to compensate for the major advantages the Intelli-Pro has in performance and diagnostics. This is especially true when you consider that the Intelli-Pro is no bother at all when it comes to sound.

Power Consumption

You still get the benefit of low cost of ownership!

The Intelli-Pro air purifier uses just 80 watts of electricity on the highest setting, and much less on the lower settings, equating to just a few bucks or so a month in electricity costs. The Ionic Breeze uses just 10 watts, making it even more energy efficient. In which case, you may save a few dollars or so per month in electricity usage with the Ionic Breeze, yet it is still far less effective than the Intelli-Pro.

Cost

Get two much more for your money with the Intelli-Pro

Despite the resounding advantages the Intelli-Pro offers in terms of performance and diagnostic capabilities, it costs $50 less than the Ionic Breeze. The Intelli-Pro air purifier does have the HEPA/activated carbon air filter combination cartridge that typically needs to be replaced about once per year, but it costs just $36 per replacement. The Intelli-Pro's UV lamp costs just $15 to replace, and will also last about one year.
