I bought this and thought it would produce a strong ion smell. Is it supposed to produce a strong ion smell or does it just spit out air?

this product did not help the interior of our vehicle at all? i did not smell any ion nor the air inside vehicle cleaner air?i rate this poor!

I put it in the center cup holder and whenever I lean over, I can smell the ion smell. I put it on high. I am not sure how strong the ion smell you expected, but you will get use to the smell after a while inside the car.

I have used mine for over a year, and my impression is that the air discharged from the unit is odorless.

Actually, I dont smell any odors...but if you do, I suggest you just air it out before you use it. Hope that helps!

Well the air exaust port is on the top of the canister and is filtered so it pretty much expells air in a straight colum of air. You really have to be over the vacuum to feel the exaust.

Mine had the odor for maybe a couple days but if you use it frequently, the odor goes away. I try to run it with the "COOL" setting off for a few minutes before shutting it down when I am done with it. That seems to work for me as I haven't had any odor from it for weeks.

Mine had a very strong odor so I put it in my garage to air out, it has been 4 weeks now and it still smells but not as bad, maybe in another month or two I will be able to use it.

Neither. It puts out O3. (Ozone) The product name is misleading. A negative ion, is an oxygen atom with an extra electron. It is odorless. Ozone is an oxygen molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms. You can smell ozone if the concentration is high enough. The functions they perform are as different as night and day as well. Negative ions rid the air of pollen, dust, etc.: stuff you can see under a microscope. Ozone cannot. Negative ions also can improve mood. Ozone cannot do that, either. Ozone gets rid of odors, pollutants, etc.; stuff at the molecular level (although negative ions can get rid of some odors, too.)

It is really strong smelling. It is being sprayed in a small contained area which compounds the problem. If using it again I would use goggles and a mask when spraying it. It worked really well and is standing up under heavy use.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

The high voltage may be produce ozone, which has a distinctive smell. The air produced by the air purifier does not have the smell of ozone, unlike cheaper electrostatic precipitation systems!

I would suspect there may be an issue with the unit you received, I have had no unusual odors from the one I got. It does get a little warm when used a lot, but no smells.

Hello,I got this vac and have had no problems. There was a bit of a smell the very first time I used it, but by the second time there was nothing noticeable. Mine has been a wonderful machine to use with absolutely no problems. I hope that you have the same experience.

Mine did not have a smell. However, like you, I'd let it air out to see if the odor will dissipate.

It produces ions, not sure if negative, positive, or combination. I don't mean to be negative but I am not positive. :) sorry.

It's the way it smells for about two or three days. It does go away if not contact the seller mine did the same thing and is fine now. Flipping it over once or twice helped it air out.

I purchased mine so long ago that I don't recall any specific smells other than getting used to the ions. That may be what you smell. It fades over time. Also be sure that you've removed any plastic on the filters.

Hi There, Haven't noticed a sweet smell with mine. I noticed the air smelled fresher by the output vents, but not sweet.
