The oreck unit really looks promising. Not cheap but promising. It seems very small though. I think we have a store near us, I’ll run in and check it out.
Sharper Image pays $525,000 to end lawsuit against CU
Sharper Image Corp. has ended a product-disparagement lawsuit that it brought against Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports, paying CU court-ordered attorneys? fees and costs totaling $525,000.
Sharper Image sued after Consumer Reports judged the company?s Ionic Breeze Quadra air cleaner ?ineffective? in an October 2003 report. A U.S. District Court dismissed the suit, ruling that Sharper Image had not shown our findings to be false. Because Sharper Image?s claims affected CR?s rights of free speech and press, the court ordered the company to pay our legal expenses. Sharper Image filed an appeal but later withdrew it, ending the legal action.
?Sharper Image?s decision to withdraw its appeal puts an end to a lawsuit that should never have been filed, over reviews that were truthful, carefully researched, and fairly stated,? said Jim Guest, president of Consumers Union. ?This is a victory for every American concerned about the rights of an unbiased organization to test products independently, and to speak out in the interest of product performance and quality.?

I think we would have plenty of airflow, we use window ac units in summer plus ceiling fans and in the winter, with the dogs running around and stuff it stirs things up plenty…[/quote]
I’m not sure you got my point. You need airflow through the unit for it to do its job. Circulating air in the room isn’t the point. If you’re not blowing air through the unit, it’s not touching very much air.

Ok, I didn’t get that, so those things don’t move any air? It is looking like I will not be getting one. I thought that even though it doesn’t blow like a fan, it does circulate air. And if it is moving around the room it would keep sucking air in.
