Hi, I live in an apartment where secondary smoke enters through patio i like to keep my windows open will this still work for 1 small bed room even when windows are part open?

Honestly, I don't think this will work if you leave the window open with smoke entering. I believe it would smell like Febreeze cigarettes. This works best in a small area or a very open area like a living room. I do not recommend this for what you're looking for. Hope this helps

We use ours for 1/2 hour or so at a time and have no problem with fumes. There is very little noticeable smoke or odor. But if one used it continuously, there might be a need for some external ventilation.

It might help with the condensation. It pulls much more moisture from the air than the passive units with charcoal, etc., but you would probably need to keep the door to the bathroom closed to have it really make a difference. Mine draws only about a quarter of a cup/day from a mid-sized bedroom with the door open, so it should do much better in a smaller room with the door closed. It is still a big help in keeping the summer-time humidity down in the bedroom.

Sorry I missed the fact that your using a window. This unit I believe can be used that way, but its more for a wall opening.

It will remove smoke in the house; however, if the smoke has already settled into fabrics and furniture, it will take a while longer for the ions to work it out. More than one unit is best.

No, if your seeing smoke coming out you may need to adjust how it's stacked. Should not see almost any smoke come out.

Yes! I've two AirGeniuses, two areas of my townhouse. I got them soloed to combat the drift-in cigarette smoke of the abutting townhouse. They are left on continuously, one set on Setting 2, one set on Setting 1 then on Setting 2 overnight to prevent my waking up when the neighbor smokes in bed.

Only if you have a fireplace to put it in so the smoke will go up the chimney...I tried for myself and tbis wae the only way to use inside the house as its so much bigger than picture shows.

I can state that it did a great job keeping out drafts on our kitchen door. Saved on our heating bills. Do not know about smoke!!

Definitely. I do run mine with the windows open sometime, but I it is much more effective with them closed.

The simple answer is, "Yes", but it may not do so SUFFICIENTLY for your issue. Trust me, I understand your problem! But it's a SMALL unit, and may not have the capacity, depending on how bad your smoke-intrusion issue is. If 80% of the structure is smoke-tainted, I'd look at something bigger, truthfully.

Yes it would probably work. Keep in mind that you need to press the trigger to activate the smoke. Also, it needs to be kept more or less upright most of the time.

Not really. Even when covered it still makes smoke. My solution is to use it just under my kitchen exhaust and then I don't have smoke problems.

I use mine on my back porch under the roof when it is raining and it works fine with no problems! I have found that if you close the top vent on the smoker it will still smoke the meat or fish or??? adequately with only a small stream of smoke coming out the top. Have never had a fire!

Yes. Ours is in the garage for that reason. Sometimes we use it I the bathroom with the window open and the fan on. But we love it anyway. Worth the trouble. Makes great coffee. We have given it to several friends and family members, warning them about the smoke problem.

We put this in a converted garage (now a home bar). We installed a smaller fan, but that didn't clear away cigar smoke. There is no attic above the ceiling there, so I believe that you can replace less efficient fans with this model with no attic access necessary.

I cannot answer definitively for your situation because I use it in quite a large workshop which has a smoke detector about ten feet away. However having said that I have been impressed at the way it gets rid of smoke and fumes from soldering. It seems to absorb all visible smoke. I do find it a bit noisy but I may notice that more than others because I often have music or the radio on while I work so it becomes a distraction. My feeling is that it would probably work quite well in your situation. If space is at a premium I would definitely consider getting the version on the sprung arm that can be swung over work and then swung away again like a desk lamp. I find it uses up a bit too much bench space but then again I have a messy workbench. I hope this helps.
