Hello, I recently had a scary incident happen to me. I had one of these "Sharper Image Ionic Breeze" air cleaner's in my office room. It was about
18 months old and it was turned on most of the time. I carefully followed the maintenaince instructions and did everything by the book.I happened to be at home at the time. (thank god) and came downstairs to a strong smell of burning plastic. It was so strong I had to open the windows.. At first I thought it was my computer burning up since its in the same room..but it wasnt. The smell was coming from the Ionic Breeze. I immediately took the cord out, continued to air out my house... and took the thing apart to see what could of went wrong.
I took a picture of it -
My question is... if I wasnt home, is it possible my house could of burnt down? Because the burning smell kept getting worse and worse.
any info would be much appreciated.
John
