Hi there, I have this and 6 cats and a puppy. I have never used the ozone part of it but I think you would want to move the animals. If it says you should not occupy the room I don't think I want my animals to he there as well.

Ozone takes hours to dissipate (half life is 30 minutes). By ventilating it can speed up lowering its concentration but I would still stay out for a while. It is a great cleaner but has to be used correctly. Hotels use ozone to remove cigarette odors for the next guest.

According to the rep that assisted me he said, the O3 is not toxic but he recommended not having anyone or anything in the room that breathes. Just turn it on, take your cats on an errand for bout n hour. Go back to your place, turn off O3, open the windows or ventilate and you should be good. I turn it on, take my dog for a walk, then come back n ventilate. I love it.

Yes, everything I've read, & I've read a lot on air purifiers, states it would be very hazardous to your health & I would hate to see the affect it would have on small animals. You can't even return for 30 or 60 minutes after you've turned off the ozone feature (I just don't remember at this time). This is true with ALL ozone cleaners. I lock my cat up in a back room with another room seperating my cat from the room I run the ozone cleaner. I also put it on a timer so it goes on after I leave then turns off long enough before I return & let my cat out. I purchased this model because of what I found researching air purifier & agree it is a great.

No, not at all. I use ozone all the time and it hasn't caused us any problems.

Best to vacate room ionizer is in. Yes, take cat out. Manufacturer brochure also states you should not stare into box.

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.

Regardless of whether you have an ozone cleaner or not, I consider cats to be "the other white meat" and should be removed from all houses at all times and replaced by a good terrier.

Yes, they recommend on any purifier to vacate people and pets while using the ozone cleaner..
880751
I have pets and haven't even had to use that feature yet but you shouldn't have the pets or yourself in the area when the ozone cleaner is on. This filter works really well!!! Definately worth buying!!

Yes. I empty it after each use. I wash the filters when needed. Also I have a yellow lab that sheds and two black cats. Great for quick clean up.

Anywhere you want to refresh, and purify a room. Do not be in the home when the ozone part is on though. You can be in the home for all other functions.

How is this product vs Airfree Onix 3000 Ozone Free Home Air Purifier. I want something that will work and not have to really replace filters. mainly need it for the pet hair and dust in the rooms.

It will depend on the placement of the unit. Placed at the highest point in a central area upper floor. Open all interior doors and allow several (3-5) hours on high(ozone setting) with no one present ( Including household 2 and 4 legged pets). Also close all exterior windows/doors. I live in 2500sq ft with birds and dogs. When placed on lower floor upper floors are not so good. Placed on the upper floor the whole house gets equally treated. Set about on (ozone 5-6 Setting) in 2-4 hours.

As I mentioned a while ago, I would not run the device while pets are in the room. Years ago a friend of mine lost a cat. It died for no obvious reason a while after that air purifier was in the house. I rather would run it on sanitizing mode (strongest mode), while the animals are outside and then shut off.

Yes, you would have to close all the doors in the room, set the ozone machine to 2 hours and leave the room. Then after 4 hours (or longer, I leave it 8 hours) return and use a large fan and open the doors and windows for at least 40 minutes.

Works very well on pet odors even when using a low purify setting, and ionizer will help in getting rid of the pet dander, and help with the allergies. Have used this model with pets for over 7 years, very effective even when run for short periods of time throughout the day.

As a former landlord, I have had many occasions to need to deodorize the mess tenants left behind. I used to rent units that were fancy looking, but they did not seem to work as well as this one. This unit costs less than the rental for 24 hrs. I deodorize a whole house by placing the unit near the fresh air return on the furnace and run the fan on manual for 24 hrs. It will not work if the ozone cannot get to the odor cause, therefore open all closets and mattresses and pillows. Hope this helps.

You never want to let the ozone function run for that long. Odors are generally taken care of with the "AWAY" setting which is a 2 hour function where you are suggested to be "AWAY". Since the ozone is generated with electric "sparks". the unit would be destroyed running 24/7 without regular maintenance for more than the regular recommended times. You won't need to run it 27/7 unless you have a lot of dead skunks in your attic. This is a good unit, just follow instructions.

This is an AIR purifier. It purifies the AIR you breath. It's not a carpet cleaner. If a cat has peed on your carpet, clean your carpet. Go buy a bissell....and also pick up a cat litter box while you're at it.

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

My experience is when I remove the filters I smell things I hadn't noticed before. I know it helps me with pet odors cats bug me maybe it's their dander?

It killing cigarette odor and mold and dust! I able to sleep now. Don't think epa would allow an ozone machine. You don't run it while in the same room. Tried for 3 years to get rid of cig odor ! Think I've found the solution !

Yes. It will take time for the ozone to dissipate after you run the machine. But, you can stay in the house as long as you don't smell the ozone (smells a bit like bleach). If you have a strong smell from the ozone you will need to do something to limit the airflow from the area being treated.Ozone can be harmful if breathed for extended periods of time, or in high doses. But, it has a strong smell, so you know if you need to stop the machine, get fresh air, or leave the area.

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.

I haven't used it for that -- but I do have 3 cats and 3 litter boxes. I spray the room where the boxes are. According to the promoter of this product, it does NOT mask the odor -- it completely removes it. So try it. Hopefully it will work. It's an enzyme product, which is supposed to "eat and digest" the odor.
