Must-have product, but didn't solve the smoke-smell issue

We got this to prevent smoke from our neighbouring apartment. It did not do the job, but it definitely helped a bit. I think it's a must for everyone who wishes to keep the heat in.

AWSOME!
We needed to get rid of cigarette smoke smell. The tenants smoked inside the house with windows closed. The interior of the home was painted and the carpet was replaced. We also hired a cleaning crew to deep clean the home. After all that, the house still smelled.
I placed the Shocker inside the home for 24 hours then aired out the home. I had to repeat this process for about 5 days.
The home is now 99% smell free.
I am a real estate agent,  if we had not been able to get rid of the cigarette smell, we would have been forced to price the home considerably below market value.
I will be buying additional units for my agents to use.
Two thumbs up!

Nice fragrance.  Better than most sprays to eliminate smoke odor, but still doesn't cover or eliminate smoke odor.  Kinda pricey for 2 very small bottles.  I'd pay the price and reorder if it covered smoke odor better.

Pro's  Well Built, Sturdy.

Cons  Despite using very well seasoned dry chips (not soaked), and cranking up my gas grill to 700 under the lid, I can't get this thing to produce much smoke at all.  In fact, I tried jumpstarting the chips with a full sized blow torch and still got very little smoke from this baby.  Used both apple wood and hickory store bought wood chips.  Sounds like it works for other peeps, although who knows what reviews are real these days.

Personally I will stick to aluminum foil.

I really do like this product, but I do notice that a bit of the smoke still seeps out when I exhale into the mouthpiece, so I think I'll still be looking into other similar products and be comparing them along. But overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase lol

Love the concept, but this isn't as amazing as I had hoped. Granted, I'm dealing with an extremely persistent old person smell from previous resident. If anyone has any idea how to get rid of this--aside from burning the house to the ground and dumping 500 gallons of Febreeze on its smouldering remains--well I'd love to hear it. I've tried it all.

This is a great idea and I'm sure it works for people who are not dealing with this caliber of stink. But if you're looking for that Holy Grail product that's going to vanquish a persistent, annoying odor, it's probably going to be disappointing. Before getting this, I tried vinegar, baking soda, commercial air fresheners, borax, ammonia, scented candles, bowls of coffee, halved apples, painting with Killz, cleaning like a crazy person, etc. etc. and I still smell it sometimes. This lovely little bag didn't stand a chance against such a ghastly embedded stench.

It sucks in the smoke but of course there's no 100% way to keep the smoke smell out of an area.  I bought this because I am not a smoker but I have a friend who is and I hate it when he leaves early because he's got the nicotine itch. I had a neighbor test it for me. I have also purchased a pkg of e-cigarettes... I am going to offer that to him as an alternative.  I really would hate to move him out of my life because of the stench and filth of his habit.

I recently moved to a new apartment and have a downstairs neighbour who is a heavy smoker - my apartment was constantly smelling like cigarette smoke, which I truly abhor! I got a larger air purifier for my kitchen/living room area, and this smaller one for my bathroom where the smoke smell seems particularly strong - huge difference in the smell! I also have a litter box in the bathroom, recently had a friend visiting who said she was amazed at the lack of litter smell in my bathroom.

I don't know why I didn't send this back.  It didn't really work for what I bought it for and it smelled so badly of smoke. I don't know how or why it smelled of smoke.  I don't think it came from someone's home...but it reeked.  If it didn't smell like smoke and it works for what you wanted it for then it would be a great product.

remember, this only traps smoke from the cigarettes in the ashtray, not when you smoke

Edit 11/24/17: still love this product, but the spray nozzle on my recent purchase is defective. If the company reads this and could reach out to get me a new one, that'd be great. I couldn't figure out how to contact through mobile.

Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area! I got used to the intense smell, but I think it was only because I was already high from the fumes. Works extremely well, though. It got the iron stains off of my wheels and glass shower doors

Great product. It really did the job but beware- it sets off the smoke detector if you don't monitor the humidity in the room (smoke detectors work off of how thick the air gets, not actual smoke).  To be fair, I did have this on the high setting for my sons room...maybe I should have left it on low? Just something to remember especially if you plan to use this in a bedroom overnight.

The Good:
- It masks the others for a couple of weeks
- Relatively easy to use

The Bad:
- It only seems to mask the odors... as other reviewers have said, the [bad] odor eventually comes back
- Who doesn't love the small a new care? Well, this "new car" scented odor bomb does NOT smell good. This is only my personal opinion, but it stinks! It smells like some cheap motel or something...

Review:
I recently bought a pre-owned vehicle and, unfortunately, the previous owned smoked in it. I've been trying different things to remove the smell, and this odor bomb seemed promising. The reviews made me doubt how effective it would be, but I bit the bullet.

I prepped my car and set the odor bomb in place. The "explosion" seemed effective as it spread the smell pretty evenly in the vehicle. I left the car closed for about 4 hours and went back in.
The smell smoke was gone... but now I was being greeted by the smell of a cheap motel. I left the windows open and tried many things for days to vent the odor bomb's fragrance out of my car. Although it got tolerable, I still didn't like the scent.

It's been a couple of weeks and the fading smell of the odor bomb is revealing the smell of smoke is still there. At this point, I could've gotten my care professionally cleaned with all the money I've spent on things to get rid of the smoke odor.

I know some people have had positive experiences with this product, but I don't recommend it.

the Dyson filter is very good,problem is it can't get that tobacco 'smell.'out ,for which i am very sensitive to and can't stand.  it is a very difficult to get that smell out.my sinus gets stuffy.it is a very subtle smell. the only way i know of that works for this is an IONIZER.that smell really does have to be 'zapped' out.

This product was easy to use and resulted in some improvement, but far from complete relief from the car's previous smoker.

I found this not terribly effective, at least not for me.  I used it on a used car I bought that had seemingly been previously owned by a smoker, for if you left the car windows closed in the sun, within a few hours the car would smell of smoke pretty strongly.  Unfortunately, this product didn't seem to help much.

Before applying the product, I had the car interior detailed and steam-cleaned thoroughly.  Then, I applied the product per instructions (setting floor mats on their side, opening the glove box, lowering the sunvisors, lowering arm rests, and so on).  I let it work for close to 24 hours.  Afterwards, there was at most a minor improvement to the smell of the car.  I think the smoke had probably settled into the interior too much, and this product wasn't able to fully get it out.  I actually bought the product a second time and tried using this a second time, but ultimately it didn't make enough of a difference, even after applying twice.

Others' experience might vary.  It's possible that for other situations it might be more effective.  My situation was probably a very difficult one for any product to solve.  One good thing is that this didn't leave any lingering scent; there was a mild chemical scent immediately after using it, but it very quickly disappeared.  Apparently, the product decomposes in sunlight into water and carbon dioxide.  So, scent-sensitive people can use this product safely without fear that it will set off a scent allergy.
