there is a small button next to the dial, when the ionizer is on it outlines in blue. it toggles on and off by pushing it.

Press the button on the left of the dial. Its covered in the instruction manual. By default its on.

There is a button on the iron that allows you to shut it off without unpluging. It's the same button that turns it on.

I just use the ionizer. The loudness is not on the silent side that's for sure (not sure where the previous reviewer got that from!), but it's also not loud. It's like a "medium". Similar to a regular house fan but a notch higher in sound.

Mine has a very faint ticking (electric discharge) noise when in ionization mode. But it is hardly audible from 2 feet away. Manual says it is normal. As the noise does not increase or decrease and disappears once you push ion button, i too believe it is normal.

I don't think so but, you can shut off the ionizer function which, I think shuts off the ozone production. Check the Oreck website for specifics.

Yes, there is a separate button that allows you to run it with or without the ionizer.

Yes, there is a separate button for the ion option so you can turn it off with the the lamp on. I did not think there was a "plastic" smell and I prefer to have the ion on myself.

Absolutely. I would not use an ionizer and I turned mine off. Very easy to do! Just press one button. On the front of the unit, there are various buttons with lights underneath. The Very bottom button looks like a star (?) If this is lit blue, the ionizer is on. To turn it off, press and hold the button until the light goes off (this take a few seconds). Good to go, without ions.

i can't seem to find any info on being able to replace the filter. maybe it's permanently inside the fan? I also didn't find anything on the fan itself to see where you could replace the filter. A lot of reviews say the ionizer is worthless but I love my fan. I haven't used the ionizer too much but I don't feel I need it. My thought was, if I need it, it's there. The fan is fairly priced for what you get even if it didn't have the ionizer. For me, it was well worth the purchase. I hope this helps.

Move the slider into the middle, between the high and low. That will turn the fan off.

Yes. Just press & hold the ionizer button for a few seconds and it will shut off. We leave the ionizer off all the time.

Yes, the initial setting appears to be for the Ionizer as well as the "oscillating" (back and forth) to be "Off" - meaning you would have to "turn it on" first.

you can turn it off by pressing the energy saver button on the remote or by going into the settings menu

Yes, I believe you just unplug it for a minute or so. I find the device to be not very intuitive.

you push the button for the Ionizer, these are really good little air purifiers, I purchased 4 of them and love them. you dust a little they take a lot out for you.

Turn it off by pressing the power/band button for about 2 seconds. I don't think this is mentioned in the instructions.

The metal bar of the ionizer can get gunk on it causing it to be less effective. You should be able to put your ear up to the ionizer hole on the bottom front and here a sizzling/whooshing sound.The qtip method will basically accomplish this, although it won't touch most of the metal; you have to take it apart, which is easy if you have a thin shaft philips screw driver. You'll see the metal around the whole and the bar on the backside, just clean it with the qtip method. Don't touch any of the other circuitry or the board. You can also clean the fan but be gentle - it's cheap and pushing on the blades might cause it to get noisy. The metal bar of the ionizer can get gunk on it causing it to be less effective.
