Does Ozone in this unit produces a fresh mountain smell? I had an older model for 10 years and I loved that fresh air mountain smell comming from it.

That's kind of broad. The small unit is for a very small room, if you want to smell it, get a bigger one. Smells like ozone.

Our unit doesn't smell at all. My wife & daughters are very sensitive to that sort of thing and none of them have ever made any comment along those lines. As for me, the unit is in my home office and sits 10ft away from me all day long. There's no problem from my perspective.

I just received mine and I also have this burning plastic smell. I thought it might be because it is new. Has it gone away for anyone who has this odor coming from their Bunn as well?

If you turn it on, it will immediately start making noise (a static type of sound), and you will be able to smell the ozone probably even before you get out of the room (do not intentionally inhale the gas).

we had the same issue... the company advised us that it smells like plastic when on warm mist setting. I returned mine because that just didn't seem like a good thing for us. I have since switched to Aeroswiss and LOVE it! No plastic smell and great machine!

Mine smelled funny the first time or two. Be sure to move it out from any walls so it has plenty of vent room. I've had mine since Xmas and it doesn't smell anymore. I think it might have something to do with the fans because it only smelled when I used the convection oven.

Yes, I bought it specifically for my moms house. She quit smoking in the house and cleaned everything but it still smelled. This Kendal Ozone Ionizer worked great. The house has no smoke odor at all.

Linda I personally don't take our black Lab out when we run the Ozone. I only run it for about 15min. As far as any harm to our furniture no way. Maybe if you ran it for hours on end maybe? I ran it one time for couple hours with out our lab and had no problems. I hope this help. It really does make our home smell fresh . Rob

Yes, the chemical odor is actually ozone being released from the machine. If the odor seems overwhelming then the purifier may be set too high for the square footage of the area it is in. Try backing the purifier down to 750 or to the RCI setting using the purifier minus button on the unit or on the remote. Remember to only use the away setting if there will be no one in the house for the amount of time the automatic timer is set on the away setting. The away mode releases a lot of ozone and it could make you feel dizzy or have a headache. But, the odor is normal. It comes from the square white ozone plate in the back of the unit, which you will see when you perform the maintenance. This is my third machine. Not, because there is anything defective but because my friends keep buying my old ones from me.

According to the manufacturer it produces very small but harmless amounts of ozone. This is not how it cleans the air, however.

I would not use any appliance if it smells like something is burning. I would contact the mfr. immediately. We have one, it works fine and there is no odor.

Not really although mine runs in the lower level of the house 24/7. I suspect that some folks might be talking about the filtering, there might be a little ozone from time to time omitted. I really love mine, takes all the normally musty smells that happen in basements away and maintains a nicer humidity level than without it running. I've had mine more than a year.

Mine has been working well for a few years, but no longer makes ozone, though it cycles and pumps air. The repair part costs $49.99 and a new unit is only $20 more. Overall, unsure which to choose, but without a filter and an air dryer, such units do have a finite life before the ozone unit itself needs replacement.

Per Consumer Reports, it does emit ozone. I did not order the right size and so because of the error in sizing and the ozone issue I ended up returning it and going with the Lennox Pure Air (correctly sized!) which does not have the ozone issue-it's also very highly rated by Consumer Reports. We've had the Lennox for a little over a year and it's made a big difference.

I have three models from three different manufacturers and have never had any smells from any of them (unless something actually gets on a heating element). So far, mine have worked well - and friends & family who liked mine and got one of their own have been very happy (and mom is super sensitive to smells).

I have had mine for over a year. It runs 24/7. Just clean it every few months and clean/replace the ozone plates. Works great and always a clean smell in my house.

Yes. I have had mine in my care since I received it. Never take it out. There are days I get in the car and it smells like fresh air. LOVE it. Since then, bought a couple for Christmas gifts this year.
