Does this generate an ozone smell in your home?

If you are talking about the odor from some of the earlier ionizer air cleaners we have not noticed this with the uv light

Absolutely. The other day I cooked salmon and burnt it! So not only did I have stinky salmon smelling up my house, but I had a terrible burnt fish smell! Yuck! Turn that purifier on, turn the ozone on, and bam! smell is gone in minutes. Seriously. I love it. I have a smelly Fiance who leaves dirty socks and clothes every where, needs to be nagged to take out the trash etc: turn the purifier on and you'd never know it! haha

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.

I recall the smell. It did not last very long at all. We bought ours in the late fall. The weather precluded opening the windows. So we didn't have to air out the bedroom to eliminate the smell.

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).

Yes. I put mine in cabinets and closets/smaller rooms, with a door, and it only controls the smell in that area behind the door.

Yes, we just purchased a home that had been "winterized" which means no airflow for weeks. It smelled a little musty, especially in the basement. I turned the central AC fans on and pointed this at the air intake with fan on high and ozone on low. Next morning when I returned to check on it the entire house smelled absolutely clean.

Yes, but it will make some noise, as the fan is similar to those found in a PC. I wouldn't recommend keep ozone on when at home, since it can be hazardous to breathe.

Ozone has a very distinctive smell: http://www.bing.com/search?q=what+does+ozone+smell+like . Have a friend sniff for it too.

Depends how close to the house... I think it smells, but if you aerate it blah blah blah, not much.

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

No Ozone, ( Ozone overused is not good for you). But I seem to notice the air "Tasting" dryer if it's on 24/7. So I just run it a few hours a day.

because of the quality of the unit it may produce too much ozone in a space smaller than 500 sq ft. An over abundance of ozone can lead to headaches and a cough. If you have a space that is 500 sq feet with an open door leading to a basement or to an upper level you may be okay. But if the 500 sq. ft. area is closed off it may be a concern and you will detect the stronger concentration of ozone when you walk in to the area.

I have two fridge/freezer combos both running a berry breeze and have never noticed anything tasting or smelling like ozone. Great product!

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.

Don't really have an exact answer to that, but it does put out a good bit and that's the "rain fresh" smell we like that it puts out. We typically put the ozone control on low when we leave the house and turn it off when we return home. Even on the low setting the entire house smells very fresh and after turning off the ozone, we leave the ionizer on med fan speed 24/7. Hopes this helps you :)

First, I have to apologize because I haven't opened the filter yet, however, I have a similar model that has been in use for the past 10 years (thus, the reason we bought a new one). It will pretty much eliminate any odor, including pet odor. We have a dog and there has never been any indication of a "dog odor" in our house. As for the "ozone smell", some people like it, some don't. Personally, I find the odor pleasant. The nice thing about the model in question is you have the power to control the ozone stage. Hope this helps.
