Lets put it this way. I let a friend borrow my boat. Its in the cabin. They forgot to empty it. So at the end of summer when I got home I stepped into my boat and never knew it was holding toxic waste. If you know what I mean. I never smell anything except on the flush.

It doesn't smell the best, but its not bad. I've used other solutions and they all have some type of smell. Would'nt want to smell it all day, but its ok for the short time you're using it.

Haven't noticed any odors as long as the lid is closed. Very happy with the one I have; we do empty our trash every day.

I've tried it for mild cigarette odor and it worked well. I would imagine it would work for a heavier smoke odor also.

It does have a bit of a strong odor when first opened, but it doesn't last. I have had mine for several months and like it a lot.

I have used it on the concrete subflooring of the bottom floor of my house as well as the concrete flooring in the garage. I have been totally impressed at how well the odor is removed. Takes a few applications, but has worked well for me on many occasions.

I find that it does a very good job. I have a chocolate lab and I live in the country. AND an allergy to dogs and dust mites. I use 2 different air cleaners in an area 24'x24' that is divided by a 6' wall in the middle. I can smell that the air is cleaner with the AirGenius4 even with the dog bed underneath it. It is very easy to take apart and clean and it had a very small footprint. In the summer, it doubles as a great oscillating fan. I would buy it again without hesitation

I use it in a room about that size and it does a pretty good job. Using good quality essential oils does help. Sometimes I don't this it does smell up the room enough, however when I leave and come back in I do smell the oils.

We've never had any problems with odors. Would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Since I have had this in my house my asthma attacks have decreased tremendously, I feel it works very well and I am so happy I have it . It works great on odors also, now don't laugh but if my dog farts he red lines the air purifier and eliminates the odor. I love this purifier and I am not sorry I bought it.

As you can see from my review, I think this air cleaner is terrific. It cleaned my mother's apartment of wildfire smoke and when she burned some coffee in the microwave, it got rid of 95% of that odor, too - and that was pretty bad. Her apartment is fairly small, though - but she does only run it on the 2nd setting (out of 6 if I remember correctly). I think you should call IQAir and ask them. They were very helpful when I asked them whether they thought one of their air cleaners could handle my mother's situation and recommended a specific model. The unit we bought leaves absolutely no perfumey smell or any other kind of smell. They've added a post filter to address that previous complaint.

I have found I can use this anywhere with no problem, I sometimes use it around the edges of the litter box to freshen it. And it really does take odor away!

I've been using this for months and the smell has never been an issue. Great product.

This is good for any smells that are in the air. After frying fish the smell was gone within 30 minutes. I love this air purifier.

I think it works well, and I'm happy with it, but the odor is very strong, and I have to keep it somewhere where I can't smell it. Not so bad when you apply it. Different odors are offensive or pleasant to different people, so I don't know if this would apply to everyone.

It only responds to humidity, and it seems to do that very well. It would not respond to odor unless the odor increased the humidity significantly.
