Is the ozone feature something that can be completely shut off when you are running this product?

Yes, it can be turned off. Then, the device uses filter, UV-light and something else to to clean the air.

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.

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.

In the directions it says to turn it on for about 10 minutes, then leave it sit for about two hours undisturbed. That's it! I always use the timer, so I don't have to worry about turning it on and off. Some say they hate the ozone smell, but since I clean it so soon after I get up, I really am not bothered by it. I'll assure you that this will be money well spent!

I have not turned my unit off for a period of time. I only turn it off to clean it. Sorry I can't help you.

Yes, when you turn on the UVC. That can be turned off when all you want is dust and allergen removal.

no, none. the ozone is produced electronically and fan forced. Dont stay in house when using ! Do not breathe the ozone. Give it a couple of hours to dissipate and open windows when u return. PS Ozone is destructive to rubber like belts in electronics items such as VCR, and possibly some materials like some plastics. I recommend covering TV's.

There is a button called, "Away." Set fan and purify to high, set the number of hours, and push "away." It will blast ozone for the number of hours you set it for.

If you run the ozone gen at the right settings for the area size, pets nor humans appear to be affected. It's been 2 1/2 years with no ill effects whatsoever. The feature also has done no damage at all to my furniture.

Yes, that procedure does turn off the "Plasmawave", which several reviewers said was not possible on this model. The unit continues to operate normally, but without the "Plasmawave" (which several reviewers found to be dangerous?). Also, when I saw the $99 + Free Shipping price this morning, I ordered two more (I have three already), and AMAZON denied me two, but let me order ONE ONLY! That's when you know this is a true bargain!

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!

No,,,just have auto shut-off,,,,,I wish I never bought mine and invested in alive air purifier,,,,its cost a bit more,,,,,it has auto sense which detects the purity of the air,,,,,,it also allows the fan to be in power save mode. And when it senses the air is dirty the fan adjust automatically..... . ...research it

I research online and yes it can be turn off. Also, Jay M is mistaken in the answer, yes it does produce ozone but it produces in lower quantity, less than 0.5, but having it on all the time can be a hazard for your health due to the quantity of ozone on the area after long period of running

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.

Not sure about how much energy it uses but worth it since we only run the ozone for two hours at a time. We are not in the room when we run the ozone part as it's not good to breeze. There is a button that says 'away' which gives you a few minutes to leave the room. Shut the door tight and if you have small children, put a towel at the bottom of the door. Normally we run it for 2 hours and leave the house to shop or hang out in the studio.

They do not recommend that you be in the room when it is on, although I have heard some reports of it being ok on low. It is the setting of the ozone that may not be good for them. The machine itself should not be a problem. It is also recommended to be set as high up as possible, so this may help if you are worried they will bother the machine. I can't see them bugging it, because the noise, although fairly quiet, they may not like. Cheers!

No, there website says N/A. Also, Amazon should remove it from the automatic shutoff selection.

I had it for 2 years and never encountered this. I could see how it is possible for a unit to put out a slight ozone smell, like the smell just before it rains. No detectable smells have come from my unit, however.
