Does it it work well on cigarette smoke? Can you hear the fan ?

Yes it works with cigarette smoke. Unfortunately it is a very noticeable fan noise.

We don't smoke, but it isn't meant to eliminate odors. Yes, the fan is definitely audible (but not distracting) and gets louder the higher you turn it up. It doesn't bother me when I sleep because it is "white" noise.

We smoke and it doesnt do a great job. I think u would have to buy a really expensive one. As they say "you. Get what u pay for." You can. Hear the fan but its not real loud. I would check consumer reports.

You can hear it like white noise - not much will filter cigarette smoke smells

I don't smoke nor do any of my friends. So, I can't answer that one. But, you can't hear the fan.

I don't smoke, but it really does a good job cleaning out dust from the air (I live next to a road, and the road dust is bad). I think you will be happy with it. You might just need to change filters more often

I think it's powerful enough. It's got three settings and you can angle the fan, let it go back and forth or stop it so that it's only blowing on a certain spot. Plus, with the misting option, it's even more so able to get rid of the smoke.

I do not hear any significant noise from my Blueair purifier except when the fan is turned on to the highest or second highest speeds. At these speeds, you can hear the fan, but the noise is still much less than most purifiers which I have had.

Paul I can't really tell you how much air the fan moved. All I can say is it did not remove the smoke from incense held below the fan.

We bought this to use on our 'smoking' porch. (An enclosed 12x12 sun room.) We keep it on low pretty much all the time and it does great. We don't smoke cigars but it handles the cigarette odor quite well. Again, keep in mind we keep it on the lowest setting. The filters are easy to remove and clean.

No. It just works. And it does. I bought a car where the previous owner was a smoker and it worked great clearing out the lingering odor.

No, I just saw this question you asked, and tried it.....I always used it with the flame on, and I think it could be a bit of a safety issue.....so you know the heater is on and you can hear the fan.

Depends on the space in which you want smoke odor from. I use it in one bedroom where it works well within that space.

We used ours last summer driving through areas of smoke from fires in our crew cab pickup. My husband has asthma and is very sensitive to smoke and it worked great. It also works for pet odors or fumes from traffic. We were very pleased with it and the price was good.

Yes. For the price and function it works just the way I needed it too. I've been using this fan for over a year now. It keeps air circulated around my entertainment center, on the highest setting it is a bit too loud to enjoy TV, but on all the other settings it doesn't disturb me. The lowest setting I cannot even hear at all over my TV.

Not bad at all. It uses a larger, slower fan to move the air (can kind of see the cut-outs for it on the right side of the unit in the picture). We use it in the garage to drive a noisy high-speed spindle, though, so noise hasn't been a concern for us.

I quit smoking a few years ago. If I did, I would smoke outside. The odor meter seems sensitive when I cook, so I think it would spike up, I'm not sure about deodorizing the air though. I think it would clean it of some particles, but perhaps not eliminate how stinky cig smoke is. I heard the Vapor cigs don't stink. Overall I like the product for pet dander and dust. The fan noise is soothing...The machine would be better than no machine if I/someone was smoking indoors. I hope you don't have loved ones who don't smoke living in your house or pets. Sorry to be a ninny. Maybe you're smoking fish: yes, I betcha after a while it would help with the smoked fish odor. I quit smoking a few years ago. If I did, I would smoke outside.

You can hear the fan when its running, but I don't think it is loud. I put on music when I was using it and I wasn't bothered by the sound of the fan.
