Hi,

Do these thing sreally do the 100% job they claim to?? How does it eliminate odors that get on to fabrics and other things? Does it do a good job of doing any of the things it says it does??? Thanks guys.

truman said it very well, if you don't like the smell of cigars, don't smoke.

Rick,

It is for someone else's home and it is because of their child having asthma. They wanted it for air purifying as well as having a single smoking room that is not near the child's room.

As Dave said it very well: A lot of what other people say, doesnt mean ****.

I only heard a little blurb of a report last night that 90% of the air purifiers sold do not perform as advertised. Look for lab test results. Check Consumers Union (Reports) and see if they have published anything on air purifiers.

Same with water filters. Most of them can make the water "taste better" by charcoaling out the chlorine. Removing the even nastier stuff is another story.

We have an air purifier unit from Sears that is a few years old. It has a replaceable filter and a negative ion device. My wife just discovered she has a lot of allergies and we are looking for a second unit. Will post search results.

daveyg2, I'm not sure they get 100%, but it's close enough for govt. work. I have two, one for my car and one for the house and I love them. You have to get use to the smell of ozone, which is vagely similar to chlorine, but it has a freshness that beats stale smoke.

I don't know how well they work but I read that active ozone can iritate lung tissues. That's probably not too good for someone with asthma. You might want to research this topic a little more.

Daveyg2,

I bought a Czonka from this website. I don't know the model exactly but it looks like a softball and has two operating settings.

When I smoke around the fireplace I leave it on for the night after retiring and find that the next day the room is cleared of tobacco odor. A non-smoker may have a different opinion. My car had been saturated by two years of smoking so I used it there by leaving it on all night with the windows closed. The gas will permeate into every fiber. Whereever there is air some of the ozone will penetrate. I found that after one treatment there was a dramatic difference and two treatments were better. I understand that used car dealers use ozone to clean their cars for sale. Could someone in that business comment on this and give further advice?

I don't run the unit while I'm in the room because the odor of ozone is noticable and it stings my eyes a little. This will disappear within a few minutes of turning it off but I would caution that someone with an asthmatic condition should get more information on possible reactions, they may be good.

I have one of the little ones in my living room. My wife and I keep it on all the time. It smells like a fresh rain, which is nice for us because we live in Vegas where rain almost never happens.

Anyway, we smoke (me: cigars; her: cigs) at night after the kids go to sleep and the smell is gone by the a.m. We also light the fire place and candles. All put together, it works.

I also have one for my car and it seems to work very well.
