I had a similiar product years ago and it dumped a soot like mess on my wall. Does this unit do the same?

It does not dump any soot or residue. I have been pleasantly surprised with this little unit. It does release an oxygen smell but nothing unpleasant or too overwhelming. It also makes "noise" but it is soft, not bothersome. Hope this helps!

I only used it for about a day before reading the the FDA warning about these types of air cleaners, but I didn't notice any soot. www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html‎

Not that I have noticed. I had it plugged into a wall outlet until it began so much noise, now it is plugged into an extension cord.

No, I have never noticed any kind of deposit on or near my wall from this product.
1949506
No it doesn't. I've had mine plugged into the same outlet in the hall for 3 months and the wall around it is clean as ever.

Mine is not leaving any residue yet, but have only been using it for 6 weeks. At this point in time based on how it has performed I would recommend this product. I would purchase again.

This is not usual from my experience. You might have a defective unit. Or (I'm speculating) do you have a fireplace? Maybe carbon from the air is landing on the unit surfaces. At any rate this has never happened with any of the units I have owned. Before panicking perhaps give the filter a wash using the recommendations in the handbook and restart them. Good luck.

Yes, the two I ordered were the updated models....HOWEVER, one of mine blew when I plugged in my low volt table lamp, and smoke rolled out of the wall unit.The unit takes the place of your wall plate on the outlet and screws into existing outlet. They are surge protected since when the one side outlet blew, it did not trip the breaker on this circuit. But I did have quite a wall burn above the outlet to sand, clean and re paint the wall. The 2nd one is working fine....and I put a smoke alarm on the ceiling just above the outlet in case this one fails when I gone or asleep. these are not ul listed.

Mine is still pretty new but I have used Clorox clean up on my old one and it works pretty good. Had my old one for over 15 years

Should be clear. After a period of time I think it goes bad. Mine did that very quickly and I tossed it.

We have it in our MBR hooked into our natural gas connection that feeds our fireplace. It's been connected for one year with no issues other than the initial burn-off smell that only lasts a day or two.I highly recommend that you have your gas company hook it up. Ours did and they only charged us about $150 for the install of the unit and the hookup and parts. Better Safe than Sorry.

Not exactly . They both are rotary vents but the top one has four smaller holes while the bottom one has three slightly larger ones. I assume that is because charcoal residue must fall through the bottom vent but only smoke exits the top vent.

No. That happens after a while. Have to replace the whole unit. Same thing has happened to one of mine after a few years.

It is ment to be replaced not cleaned. It traps all the alge and impurities in the charcoal and should be discarded in the trash. I replace it every couple months. I only have 1 thursty golden retreiver

If you're gentle with it, it won't be noticeable. I do it when I'm smoking long cooks using the Smokenator 2600 and have no problems. Pork butts are on for about 3-4 coal additions over about 12 hours, so a lot of ash builds up. Typically when I'm just grilling, though, I clean it out while the coals are getting ready.

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.

I've used mine twice without a bit of smoke. How did you clean the unit. Spray 409 let it stand a while, spray again and let it stand awhile longer. Then take a wet Mr Clean kitchen sponge over the entire unit inside and out. Wipe dry for a brand new looking unit. I couldn't believe how clean the unit came using the 409/Mr Clean kitchen sponge. Smoke, there might be food touching the unit as it rotates which, I would like, would cause smoke. Make sure that no food touches the heating unit while the food is rotating.

No not yet but then again we don't use it that much. If I was you I would request a replacement unit from the seller or your money back. That smell in most cases is probably toxic and you need to let the seller no that,and if they don't comply I would get AMAZON INVOLVED.

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.

No, I have been only running with the new exhaust for about 2 months and have not seen any soot on my truck. The installation was not bad and it sounds great!

I have had this wall heater installed in a bathroom for 8 years controlled by a programmable wall thermostat. I get a little discoloration on the grille but nothing on the wall. I'd be very cautious about any heater that charred the wall. It is very likely a defective limit switch.

If your glass hasn't been clean for awhile and the soot has been accumulating, this cleaner works well to remove it. It took me a couple of times to totally remove my soot which had not been cleaned for a couple of years. If you're glass is not very dirty, ash and newspaper would work, but it is messier than using the cleaner and paper towels.
