Does this work when walking outside in polluted cities? I live in an air pollution riddled city, and I'm looking for something I can use outdoors.

Yes, I believe so, I use it when I travel, it is supposed to shield you but on a close area, I am not sure in an open area, check the manufacturer, it may help you with more information

Whether it works at all is still open to question. I've used in on about 12 international and domestic flights and I haven't got sick like I used to. I've started to use it on the subways in China where I work. Even if it is effective at eliminating particles, I suspect it would not be effective against PM2.5 pollution. You need special masks for that.

Yes it does, give you about a 3 foot space around you. Hang it from you neck and it will be directed toward your face. I had a operation in the past few weeks. I used it when I went out in public so as not to catch any germs. I have not been sick while using it. I was around my granddaughter who was sick too. I think this is a good product. I bought it to use on airline flights, but have come up with many more uses for it.

I'm not sure that Airtamer can handle large volumes of polluted air. It seems to have helped me with smaller volumes, such as in a plane. You might try using a mask, such as those used at construction sites.

Because it is, thank God, probably broken. Count yourself lucky because a) if you read my review you would know that when EcoQuest's fradulent devices work they are sometimes potentially harmful and always useless and b) perhaps you will now buy a device that is both safe and effective. Check out reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere of reputable, certified air cleaning devices. You should also take a look at the website of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturer (aham.org) for a list of verified devices that actually work.

I just can say that my Oggi device is not useful to carry away to outside because its lid leaks.It leaked all over floor of my car.I am not sure all of the products having same problem.Hopefully I gave enough info about it.

As Mr. Glover has discovered, you can indeed use this item outside, provided you are taking care to keep it at least somewhat protected from the elements! I hope this answer will assist you.

I have found that it works best when it comes in direct contact with the odor source, like on hard surfaces. It will work if sprayed in the air, but unless it reaches the source, the odor will return.

I'm using it right now to answer you. I use it while on the road, works great

It definitely works outside. I used it at a BBQ on a park and it worked great. Only thing I don't like is that I can't tell when the battery lis dying or low, therefore, can't plan accordingly

I am really glad I bought this. Works great for me since I am outside the city limits.

Sorry, I'm no help either. I never thought to use it outside. One way to find out though!!! Let us know how it turns out.

No. I find that it doesn't work while walking. I had hoped that it would. :( I actually don't like it at all. And, have only worn it once.

I only tried it once many years ago and it was boring. You can hardly notice it change. But try it and see. Any form of movement will effect it, but it was built for machine movement I believe. Not reading the prior posts I answered the request. My model is quite old and if it has a pedestrian mode, I don't know it. Will check further, but being unable to walk any great distance, do not need the feature. Will try and find the booklet and update it in my mind.

I don't use it. Tried it once and can't justify using it on a 500+ piece of eqy. I'm sure it works. But I rather focus on the road and people in cars then keep looking down to see if my phone is still there.

Works fine in walking as long as it has battery life left. I used it in Germany last year and plugged it in at night for a full charge and it went for hours.

It works on detection. If the air is polluted, it will automatically turn on higher to filter it, ie..cigarette smoke, cleaning solutions, food odor, kids farts..:)

My Wife Is Very Sensitive To All Smoke. When She's Outside And There Is Any Burning ... She Wears One. It Would Work For Cigarettes Smoke Too.

I've used this item in vents and in my air purifiers...they are wonderful collecting lots of dust and other particles that have some size...I have never usedthis in an air conditioner...I think you might want to take CTgreens suggestion and try one thats a lot finer for the air conditioner...Give it a try...you'll have answer soon...you can always use this filter for other things...They are wonderful to use in ADDITION to filter in HVAC vents...You will be surprised!!!
