Appreciate the link. I've got a hand-me-down Ionic in my house, and knowing that I can skip running it for basically the same effect means I can save a couple of cents on my electricity bill.

Gonna take another look at those IKEA tables with the HEPA filters built in. Those seem handy to avoid having to dust so often.

Sure thing, glad to be of some kinda help. Ozone can be a good irritant, never mind charged dust sticking to stuff it ordinarily wouldn't.

I hope this company has a trick for dust control, but I'm expecting that'd be tougher than figuring out the ionic wind part.
