These are not real air purifiers a big screen TV recycles more air than one of these units, you are better off installeing an electronic air cleaner at your air handler or furnace

Who could I send the blade interior section to to replace a broken part?

If you purchased it before 2008, nobody. Sharper image went bankrupt and was bought by another co who does NOT warranty or repair older products. Below is excerpt from their site:

Q. I bought an item from the Former Sharper Image that is broken, what do I do?
A. Unfortunately, we are not able to assist you with products purchased from the Former Sharper Image Company, which filed for bankruptcy on February 19, 2008. We are a new company offering new and innovative Sharper Image products.

Q. What happened to the Sharper Image retail stores?
A. All Sharper Image retail stores have closed.

Q. What is the difference between the New Sharper Image and the Former Sharper Image?
A. On Friday, May 30, 2008, the Former Sharper Image (The Sharper Image Corporated) assets were acquired by a joint venture formed between Hilco Consumer Capital, Gordon Brothers and Bluestar Alliance. This joint venture has been re-established as The Sharper Image. Through a licensing agreement with The Sharper Image, Camelot Venture Group, is in charge of managing and operating the SharperImage.com website and ecommerce platform. SharperImage.com has no affiliation to The Sharper Image Corporated ("TSIC") that filed for bankruptcy in 2008, or any of the various retail stores currently selling Sharper Image licensed products.

I have 2 Ionic Breeze GP units with 8 year warranty, where do I get warranty work done. They are both not working. I have paper work for warranty. Can you help. [email protected]

You might want to read up on some of this:
http://www.consumeraffairs.com/retail/sharper_image.html

If you are inquiring about product warranties on former Shaper Image products, purchased prior to October 2009, we unfortunately cannot help you. On February 19, 2008, The Sharper Image Corporated (“TSIC”) operating under previous ownership and management, filed for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Since that filing, a new group of investors acquired certain assets of TSIC including the brand name and the SharperImage.com website. We understand your frustrations and recommend visiting http://www.kccllc.net/sharperimage for more information, or call 1-877-312-7060. For orders placed through ShaperImage.com after October 2009 please refer to the manufacturer instructions on the warranty card provided with your purchased product.

I have several ionic Breeze air purifiers that have problems

Unfortunately, there are no repair depots that are available for use since Sharp Image has claimed bankruptcy. these product are very unique in design and, the actual repair parts are no longer in stock. the suppliers went under when Sharp filed for bankruptcy.

You may be able to repair the wiring by ordering the identical gauge from you local electrician but, that's about it. most of the hardware is no longer available.

Is my Ionic Breeze Quadra hopelessly broken and beyond repair?

This unit can be replaced on ebay for around $45.00 which is under any labor cost to repair the unit you currently have. You can always post your unit for sale on ebay for parts.

Will not turn on

Try this link:

www.breezerepair.com

I've heard if the plates aren't working, it doesn't turn on.

Now for the disclaimer:

Sharper Image has recalled the units. Consumer Reports released a report on all ionizers and the quadra failed. Sharper Image tried to sue Consumer Reports over the findings but they couldn't prove that the unit cleaned the air. Sharper Image was ordered to pay all legal fees forcing the company into Chapter 11.

EPA data has proven that ionizers not only are ineffective at cleaning the air but they are harmful to use as well. EPA.gov has a report on it.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission is going to release a report on all ionizers. It's possible that they will no longer be for sale in the U.S. next year.

Sharper Image also recalled the ionizers for $35. Since there in bankruptcy now I don't think the program is no longer available.

I have a sharper image Ionic Breeze GP still under warranty. One of the blue lights on the Germicidal lamp is out and needs to be replaced. Where can I purchase this part, now that Sharper Image is no...

If the warranty you are counting on is a Sharper Image Warranty I need to advise you that it was voided in the buyout on 30 May, 2008 when everything at Sharper Image was liquidated by Hilco Consumer Capital, Gordon Brothers, and Bluestar Alliance. If however it was a warranty company outside of Sharper Image you need to contact them.

You can purchase a bulb for the GP on ebay for under $11, which is really a good price considering what you would have paid from Sharper Image. Installation is easy, you just pull up on the tab on the bottom of the filter and pull up. When you are looking at the bulb, turn it 1/4 turn, (2 clicks) and pull it out. That is all there is to it. Hope this helps you.

Ionic Breeze GP Sharper Image

Sharper Image ionizers are no longer being serviced. What got them into trouble in the first place was the fact that they were not cleaning the air and that the air they were filtering was hazardous some peoples health. This was based on data by Consumer Reports as well as the EPA. They went to court on it and they lost.

Sharper Image was offering a rebate to people who had purchased ionizers.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission is going to be making a decision on ionizers by the end of the year. It could be that they will no longer be sold in the US next year since they are ineffective and can cause health problems.

This is an industry that should have been regulated years ago just by EPA data alone. The idea that charging the air around you gets rid of stuff is a joke. In the copier industry that I work in we are told that it is bad since copiers create ozones in the same way.

SHARPER IMAGE AIR CLEANER HAS STOPPED WORKING, NO BREEZE COMING FROM UNIT AND BLADES ARE NEVER DIRTY. THE "ON" LIGHT IS ON.

Sharper Image no longer supports Ionic Breeze machines. They recalled them a few months back since Consumer Reports and the EPA has determined that they weren't working and can even cause health hazards during usage. Sharper Image sued an lost forcing the company in bankruptcy.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission is going to make a decision on sales of all ionizers in the U.S. by the end of the year. It's looking like you won't be seeing these around much longer.
