As an aside, Consumer Reports has tested these units several times. The
results were they were almost worthless at eliminating odors or particles
from the air. I believe Sharper Image even sued them for their findings,
but CR won when they proved their testing methods were sound and they were
only reporting on the data.

And another aside...

The units produced significant amounts of ozone which raised hell with
rubber and certain soft plastic materials in the same room, as well as
being a health risk to folks with asthma.

I think they added an "ozone remover" to their later models.
