Air Purification EffectivenessBoth Surround Air XJ-2000 and Ionic Breeze Quadra purifiers use an air ionizer to produce negative ions, and minimal amounts of ozone to purify the air. The Surround Air ionizer produces a much higher level of negative ions though. Each Surround Air ionizer has seventeen needlepoints (negative ion-producing electrodes), while the Ionic Breeze has only two ionizing wires. Needlepoints produce far higher negative ion levels than ionizing wires. As a result, the Surround Air ionizers can produce many more negative ions. Generally speaking, the higher the ion output, the higher the effectiveness of an air ionizer. The stainless steel,
ion-producing needlepoints of the Surround Air ionizer are also far
more durable than the ionizing wires used by the Ionic Breeze. 99.2% reduction in airborne
particles PriceFor about the same amount
of effectiveness and coverage, a single Ionic Breeze Quadra costs
about six times as much as one single XJ-2000 Surround Air ionizer,
when buying a single unit. This allows you an affordable way to
thoroughly purify the air in multiple rooms, or even the entire home,
since one air purifier will have a difficult time purifying beyond the
room in which it is placed. Collector PlateAccording to a 1990 research study about air ionizers, horizontal dust collection plates (like those used by XJ-2000 air ionizer) picked up many more of the microbial cultures than the vertical plates (like those used by the Ionic Breeze). This study found air ionizers to be an effective way of reducing airborne microbial levels in a dental clinic.
Shape and SizeThe 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. Air Ionizers are more effective if they can be placed 5 feet or more off the ground, since better air currents are available at this height, allowing better distribution of the negative ions, and allowing more air to pass through the unit. In which case, it is more advantageous to have a unit that fits onto higher surfaces in your home, such as the Surround Air XJ-2000 air purifier. Car Plug AdapterEach 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. WarrantyBoth units come with a 3-year warranty. SilenceBoth ionizers are virtually silent. Effective Technology, Easily Affordable Price. The XJ-2000 uses ionic technology, one of the most effective and practical air-purifying technologies available. It is available at such an affordable price, it is economical to place them in every room throughout the home. Current Pricing (2 or more FREE Shipping ) - Limited
