No, and I’m not saying they don’t work (although I’m not convinced they do). My main point was that when you alter several aspects of a situation, and something changes, you don’t have enough information to conclude that one chosen aspect is solely responsible for the change.
The machine may work as claimed. The machine may be responsible for the better sleep. BUT…some other factor may have effected the better sleep. The machine may not have helped at all. I’m suggesting evaluating the WHOLE situation before deciding, in a case like this, to buy such a machine. Especially if you don’t have several hundred bucks to gamble on the chance that it wasn’t the machine after all.
This is somewhat of a tangent for GQ, but it does provide a reasonable alternate explanation for the apparent effect of the Ionic Breeze.
If the OP’s mom hasn’t already been tested for allergies to dust mites and feathers, she might want to look into that. I’m allergic to both and changes to bedding can really impact my quality of sleep.
