Some ionizers cause soot to collect on surfaces near the unit. The publicity says this type ionizer doesn't. What have you noticed?

Ours runs 24/7 except when we have a power company outage and there has not been a sign of soot nor even an abundance of dust. Our two small dogs put off a lot of hair, but not a lot of dust. The two old folks here put off dust and not a lot of hair, but in neither case is soot a concern. I opened the back of the unit and found no soot and a normal amount of collected dust.

I have not seen any soot, however there is a lot of dust around that is not getting absorbed.

I have two such units even though my condo is only 1088 SQ Ft. due to heavy dust pollution caused by a nearby highway. I get very good results by turning ionizer on midway and the fan on high 24/hours a day. An unexpected side benefit, the ozone kills large palmetto bugs. I also have two large air cleaners which in addition to the two ionizer machines gives a healthy breathing environment.

It shuts off when it reaches or exceeds the temp it is set on....but I'm not sure what the ionizer does

It's an air electricity tester. Hold it close to the ionizer, with out touching and the blub glows.

Not air ionizer the EER I'm not sure and is a very loud unit not sure if mine has a defected fan blower.

My experience is that all candles generate some soot (my electrostatic air cleaner concurs). These wicks do not generate visible soot when burning; assuming you keep them trimmed to the proper length (~1/4"). They do smoke when you blow the candle out. Since I used them in container candles, I just put the lid on when I blow them out.

This is what Lasko says about the ionizer function:"The built-in Ionizer in a Lasko fan generates millions of negative ions and disperses them into the air to combat and dispel air pollution. As the negative ion levels grow, the air feels naturally fresher like the great outdoors."I think it's a marketing gimmick to sell fans.

It uses a filter rather than ions to clean the air. So it should not emit ozone.

The ionizer purifies the air in the room. It will help eliminate some of the odors. We have our fan in the kitchen so we use the ionizer a lot.

I bought the ionizer from the company and I use towels to sit on and one the floor so the surface doesn't really get wet. I did clean it with disinfected wipes once but not sure if it's good for the wood in the long run.

Make sure the hoses are clear and not kinked. When the smoke absorber is on, the air actually exits the SMD rework gun, so anywhere in the hose from the smoke absorber through the machine and back out the hot air gun could be the culprit.

I have had mine for over a year using it consistently and have only replaced two and very recently the third. I have never had any problems with sparks. Where is the sealer sparking? I have used mine on highest setting and have not had any problems though it will shorten the life of the element. You might just have a faulty unit. I would double check to see that the element is screwed in snug at both ends. Possibly take the bottom off and expose the wiring and look for soot on wires or possibly case. Always do this with the unit unplugged.

I don't know because I don't have a Carburator, but if it has dust on it that's not sticking to the object, it should remove the dust & clean it.

Beats me. It seems to me that paint fumes are one of the things that it should be equipped to take out of the air. Maybe they are so strong that it fills the filter up very quickly - but then, if that is true, it doesn't say much for the quality of the filter.

I don't leave the house, however, I don't have it on all the time. If you want it on all the time the fan will help. I use the ionizer on high for 15- 30 minutes with a standing oscillating fan in front of it, and that cleans the air really well, especially when expecting company.

no, first part was deemed defective I'm in middle of RMA now. however what I did find out and has helped quite a bit is I removed the charcoal canister and applied a small amount of compressed air to make the can expand and then tapped with rubber mallet to break up the lump of coal that had formed causing blockage. until li could hear the charcoal moving again. Try it!

Thank you all for your responses. Sounds like my Bionaire unit will be good enough. I also have a separate Ionizer that has collection blades - it does its job, clean it with rubbing alc and black gunk gets on the paper towel.
