does it really emit harmful ozone?

I had bought a used one and returned it. My aunt had Ecoquest and it did and excellent job on odors and dust. We have a FilterQueen, Defender for about one year. It does a good job with odors and dust. I usually have several sinus infections during the winter months. This year I had no trips to the doctors and zero sinus infections. We have a ranch home and it doesn't keep the dust down as good at the end of the house. They had recommended we get 2 units, we only bought one.

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 !

Nope. Just a little fan noise:) Please understand that IF you are close enough to be hearing the noise, you may e endangering your life! Never be in this products use except to hold your breath as you open the windows/doors for airing out the ozone gas.

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

Although I haven't tried it, I believe it can make ozone oil, as well. But from what I understand, it takes a really long time. :)

ozone is harmful to humans in closed spaces. I wouldnt want it in my car. It has regular prongs for a regulr electric outlet. You can buy an ozone spray for neutralizing air in car-safer.

Honestly I have no idea what makes it work. A few people have said it makes ozone, which explains the weird smell I get when I use it. If this is true, then it really isn't a purifier.

Not to my knowledge. It ADDS oxygen hydroelectrically; creating ozonated water.

No ozone whats so ever. It does emit negative ions that are harmless and help clean the air in addition to the filters. Blue Air also employs negative ions, but I believe the RBbit is a much better product --I own a Blueair purifier and the filters are way expensive and last only 6 months and the Rabbit does just as good a job cleaning the air, if not better. Hope this helped.

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.

Alen brearhsmart does not emit ozone. It has been tested and is more than 100% safe. Your tv or microwave emits more ozone than this beneficial machine. Air purifiers like all appliances emit some amount of ozone but this Alen is one of the best. Call them if your worrie, or get more info from their website.

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

It's garbage. It reeks horribly... I believe it's got a polyurethane wrapping, which is responsible for the majority of the off-gassing. Big, giant notice stating that it meets CA flammability requirements, AKA it's chock full of flame retardant chemicals. Not at all non-toxic.

No. I believe it has an ionizer, but does not produce Ozone. I used it in a Large Yukon and did not notice that it ever did anything to help. It may work better in a Honda Civic.

artificially produced ozone is almost always made either by coronal discharge (electrical sparks) or short-wave ultra-violet (UV) light. This unit does make a sort of low, buzziing, staticy noise while in operation, but it also seems to have a sort of blue light inside, it could be either, I haven't taken it apart to see

You should NOT breathe Ozone and you should remove ALL living things (pets/plants/people) in the room that you are using it in. It kills molds, mildew, cigarette stench and much more. I use it to freshen my home after a long cold winter. We turn it on, leave for a few hours then return and open up the place to air out. I use it in my car to freshen also. The only time you can run it with people around is when someone is smoking as it turns to the smoke to oxygen. Owners manual does explain all dangers. I like this product and feel safe using it.

ozone is poisonous to humans, only use it when you arent home, and when your pets and kids arent in the room

It varies. Sometimes I don't notice at all, other times I do. I think you notice it more when the humidity is low and you've been running it a long time. Not horrible, just smells like ozone.
