i have been bidding on a csonka purifier---then i checked with the consumer reports,they do not give a good report on the smoke filters.---has anyone purchased one of these,and do you recomend them?

I have a smoker cloaker I got from here... the bell shaped model.

It works.

Fro what I read, though... it creates ozone and that's bad for you. But boy does it get rid of the cigar odors.

I got a little cheap offshore-brand one for my jeep......works great.

I don't know what the rules are anymore in rental cars anymore either, but I smoked all week in the one I had on vacation, and they little purifier kept the odor down very well.

I smoke cigars in the house daily and run 2 Csonka Units 24/7 - until they see the 2 very large Avallo Humidors in the house, most folks are not aware that cigars have been smoked indoors.....Even after a Winter Herf indoors attended by 7 other cigar lovers - the next day when we had friends over for Brunch - not 1 person noticed or commented on any stale Cigar tell tale aroma in the house.... I even asked them if they noticed any particular smells in the house - no one did. So as far as cloaking the cigar after smells - I've found the Csonka units to do an outstanding job...

Having said that - the # of articles coming out lately on the downside of having an ozone generator in your home are indeed quite numerous....but then the # of articles that condemn smoking are quite numerous as well......

thanks--Drocks, for your side--i will not run it all the time ,just in the winter,when i am enjoying indoor relax time--- Rich

I use a cbid ozone unit in my car. It is able to counteract all odors. I've used them in the past. Ozone units are a great product, use it when you need it. It actually kills the odor. (kills the producer, not smoker lol)

I won't put my first borne son on the block, but I like ozone purifiers very much.

The skinny is..,. they work well, they get rid of the smells, but they DO create enough ozone to trigger a level 2 smog alert in L.A.

The Sharper Image Ionic Breeze ozone purifiers also do an outstanding job on smoke(cigar and cigarette)and animal odors. Have used 2 for years and can tell when I go in someone's house that doesn't use one.

As to whether they're safe or not, who really knows.

The animal odor removal gives great results. Includes nubs, spilled nachos, fries and other biological products.

And, you don't need to run the ozone generator all the time, just when needed.

I bought 5 Csonka's. Two broke right away. I would never recommend the Csonka's.

I own one for the house and one in my new car. I would highly recommend them..............

It cracks me up that there ae those that smoke cigars ...

... but worry about ozone being harmful. Heck ... ozone is created naturally everytime there is a rainstorm.

I got one of those banjo ozone thingys or the car. Don't think it does a thing except power that little red light. Just open the windows and drive real fat.
