Does it produce ozone? Even small levels of ozone?

I'm sorry but I don't know. I have extreme allergies and it has helped tremendously with that.

I was not completely sure about the answer to this, so I did a little research. From what I could find, it emits 1 part/billion, but that all electronics do emit some ozone, and that anything under 80 parts/billion is safe. I hope this info was helpful - if not, I'd say try contacting Therapure Customer Service directly.

Sorry I am unable to answer the question as to whether it emits ozone, I don't know how I could measure this. We used an electrostatic air cleaner about 25 years ago, so I am sure they have changed quite a bit since then, so I probably cannot be a good judge of this either.

Not on the device I belive but dident read that into the instructions there is a lot of info on ozone on the net biggest thing is if your sensitive to Ozone it's best not to be in the room while you're doing the wash otherwise it's not that bad unless you stick your head in the washer

It has a UV/VOC button that will put out ozone, but you can just not turn it on if it is a concern.

No, it doesn't. Filters that emit ozone attract particles with an electrostatic charge, and this one doesn't use that technology.

Yes, you do not need to use the ozone feature. In fact, you probably should not -- any benefits are dubious but the health damage can be very real. Fortunately it is controlled separately.

Yes it does.. it has a ball for water or defused air and a cylindrical one for either air or oil or water.. l have had my unit for about 2 weeks now and have used it quite a bit to make water and fresh in the air.. for a little unit it does well and keeps the level of ozone low enough and with a maximum 30 second timer so u don't end up making your self sick from it..

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

Yes, all UV-C products produce dangerous amounts of ozone! See: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem03/chem03323.htm

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.

There is no ozone button in the unit and HF 707 doesn't produce any ozone, it just produces warm or cool mist. Their is an Ion button which gives the option to turn negative ion "ON" or "OFF" for air purification.

No, this product does not emit ozone. The UV-C bulb has a special coating that prevents the release of ozone. In my view this product is a superior product over an electrostatic air purifier because of it's True HEPA filter. More air is circulated with the AC4825 and pushed through the HEPA filter which can capture 99.97% of airborne particles as small as .3 microns in size. UV-C is an added benefit because it is proven to kill viruses and bacteria.

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 think so but, you can shut off the ionizer function which, I think shuts off the ozone production. Check the Oreck website for specifics.

It can but I dont recommend it. This specific ozone machine might take too long to produce any in decent amount of time. I hope this helps, but I recommend you do more research

Ozone is toxic to breathe. Just how much is debatable but in my opinion it would be much better to run your machine when you are not home.

I've had one for a few years now and I came back here to update my review. If your sanimate is not producing the ozone and is possibly making a clicking sound it could have sediment of some kind built up in there. I used a vacuum (milage may vary) and ran it over the front of the Sanimate and its now quite and pumping out clean air again.
