I am now reading more up on this after I purchased the unit. Is this a true HEPA air purifier and does it emit OZONE? I read that Ionizers emit ozone!

Based on my research before buying this system, ionic systems produce ozone. This one simply recirculates the air through a filter. The quality of filter you put in it is up to you after your original one expires. This unit tells you how much filter life is left.

I don't know the answer to your question. However, I have been using this purifier with great success for about 3 months. I don't use the ionizer though.

It is a true HEPA filter. Mine has a separate button for the ionizer but I've never used it. Purportedly ionizers emit ozone but this shouldn't be a problem if you don't activate the ionizer. I'm pretty happy with mine - it's been running 24/7 for about a year.

I own this and have for almost a year--we really like it! It's a true Hepa filter but I don't believe it emits ozone. I've had filters that do that, and there's always a strange smell....this is a great one

Hello it is a true HEPA air purifier It works very well. it dose has an Ionizers but I never use it as the filter is more than good enough for me I use MERV11 From Filters First Half the cost of Hunter and the 4 ft cut to size charcoal 2 pack pre filters from them to. I'm quite happy with it and I feel much better now that I'm using it most of the time I keep it on low Hope this helps John

I did have to send this item back. It just did not do a good job. 2 filters could be washed , but not the Hepa filter. It can be vacuumed. I did order a Sky Ionic air Purifier and it works fine, so far.

Per the flyer for this product in the link I'm including below(if amazon will allow the link), on page 2 it says "Produces no ozone, fumes or other secondary contaminants"http://jonecacorporation.com/UVC_Air_Sanitizer/UVCAIR.pdf

THANK YOU! I am so excited to see this. I bought it a year ago, but turned it off month ago because I hated the smell it produced. I wondered if the smell was ozone, but it's not supposed to produce ozone. However, a friend said that the ionization (the PlasmaWave part) turns oxygen into ozone, so...it does produce ozone. Glad to know that I can turn off the PlasmaWave. I'm going to clean it out and start it up again and see if it still produces that unpleasant smell.

I don't like the smell of an ozone generator. I don't smell that with this air purifier, as it is more neutral, although I'm no expert.

I don't see about "ozone" in their specifications my advice to you is call Fellowes Customer Service and ask them directly, I bought 2 of this for my daughters since they have cats they both swear that you can feel the difference with this air purifier.

Sorry about that I miss under stood the question. But as for the CFM of our machine I don't have the answer for you. I have been selling this machine for 6 months with some of the best results in sale in many years but the company has never had the unit tested for CFM. But the company told me they will try and find out from the actual motor manufacturer who make the motor for the air purifier. But as you know it is not that important for CFM's as it is for regular air flow in your home or office. There is no way a little fan in a air purifier could ever cover a whole house with air circulation . Ionization and air flow is how this unit works. Like when you burn toast in your home you can smell the burnt toast through your whole house. Want to talk ? call me Lou Lombardi toll free over 40 years in the cleaning and restoration air purification business 800-868-5534. This is truly a fantastic product with a fantastic warranty.

Love it! I don't know about the ozone but I have owned many pets for years and my first unit was years ago and when it stopped working I tried many air cleaners and none worked on the issues that pets creates. Hope to never be without one.

This unit will not clean smoke from the air as it is not a TRUE HEPA filter. I sent the Hamilton Beach back and bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VGIGVY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am not sure. All ionizing air purifiers I have experienced do this. Some people say that just using the ionization function is bad for you due to the radicals it created(those that say this are equating these radicals with the free radicals in your body that antioxidants kill)

Yes the ozone can be shut off as well as the ion generator in which air cleaner will take impurities out of the air by the use of the three air filters. There is great control when using this unit.

Only ionizers produce ozone, this machine works strictly with two physical filters, one which needs regular replacement, the other which needs regular cleaning, but can be replaced too if need be.

Glad to assist :). As a safety pre-caution, this ozone generator does NOT have a continuous run feature. This is because very highly concentrated levels of ozone can be a respiratory irritant, so more ozone is not always necessarily better. However, ozone does dissipate quickly and converts back to oxygen and this unit does have a timer function with a max 2 hour run time that is more than sufficient for most odor removal applications. The timer can be reset immediately after it ends, in the event that a 2nd purification treatment is needed. I hope this helps and please let us know if there are any additional questions we can help answer :). Thanks!

I have two such units even though my condo is only 1088 SQ Ft. due to heavy dust pollution caused by a nearby highway. I get very good results by turning ionizer on midway and the fan on high 24/hours a day. An unexpected side benefit, the ozone kills large palmetto bugs. I also have two large air cleaners which in addition to the two ionizer machines gives a healthy breathing environment.

Per the owner's manual (pg 9)... "Is my Air Purifier considered an ozone generator? No. Ozone generators produce large amounts of ozones as the primary way to clean the air. The EPA does not endorse these products because they can cause ozone related health problems. The air purifier does not use ozone as the primary method to clean the air. It cleans the air by using ifD technology (intense Field Dielectric) which only generates trace amounts of ozone, substantially below the limits established by the EPA and FDA." "The ionizing process used by the air purifier produces small amounts of ozone as a byproduct. The air purifier complies with U.S. Government limits for acceptable levels of ozone (less than 50 parts per billion by volume of air circulating throught the product). People that are extremely sensitive to any ozone emitting products, even trace amounts, should consult a physician prior to using this product."
