How does it work in a room for picking up for smokers?

I smoke occas. & it works very good for me in a small room. I run it all the time on the lower speed. Works perfect for my use which is occasional.

It seems to do a pretty good job at removing many odors... My guess is going to be the key to cigarette smoke is go ahead and buy two extra Hepa filters and wash the charcoal reusable pre filter once a week for the first month or so. Then next how big is the room? You may need to move it around if you have multiple rooms or they are broken up.

It really depends on the layout (open vs lots of walls) and the amount of "dirtyness". If it's open and you're not a heavy smoker, then most likely yes. I have an open layout 1200 sq ft home. The unit does a good job on all rooms except the far bedroom, because it is kept closed. I have occasional smokers in my home, 4 cats (2 automatic catboxes help with that!), and 2 big dogs. No one ever complains about the critter smell, most don't know I have animals until they see them.

I actually have two, one in each bedroom and a larger one for the living room. My husband smokes and the air is fresher in our house. I don't smell the smoke when I come in like I used to.

It will surley help. The only problem is cigg smoke does stick to everything so after a couple months you would need to replace the filter or try and clean it real good with smell remover such as is used for pets and pet urine smells. I used to be a smoker for many years and used it in my office although I smoked outdoors only, could still smell the ciggs on my clothes and office chair, so cleaned mine, on a different model regularly until one day just couldnt remove the smell any longer. Keep the windows and door closed where the smoke comes in as the less in the room the blonger the filter will remain clean. Ciggs should be illegal! More addicting, deadly and smelly than other things! It will surley help.

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.

No. It will not pick up any kind of paper. That's one of the reasons I love it. I'm a smoker and I love that it picks up ashes that fall on my desk or table but does not disturb any papers I have there.

We do not allow smoking in the house, therefore we have not tested it against this capability. I can check the instruction manual tonight but my recollection is that it will not. I hope that helped.

Good question. I don't smoke and don't have any visitors that smoke either, but from everything I've seen it should help a *lot*. Of course realize that the smoke particles will plate out on your floor, walls and furniture as they are pulled out of the air. I doubt you'd find any air purifier that would do a *better* job with cigarette smoke. (it would be interesting to compare it to an air filter though)

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.

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.

It absolutely does NOT work for cigarette smoke. The room I use it in occasionally has secondhand smoke from the neighbors and this machine will not remove the odor. At best you can hope it will pick up a little stray smoke particles if the smoke is particularly thick. You will need to buy a true HEPA air purifier with a dedicated filter with lots of activated carbon (I think charcoal is one option). This product is not true HEPA - it's just a cheap alternative since you don't need to buy disposable filters every few months.

This is a very useful piece of equipment and I use it frequently. When you are smoking you blow into it to keep from smelling up your house or apartment. It really works

I have a roommate that smokes non - stop in the living room, whenever he's home. I turn on The Honeywell QuietClean up to high for about an hour, even though the cigarette odor has disappeared long ago. I usually keep it running on low when I'm home. The Honeywell QuietClean is located in my bedroom.

It has helped me with second hand smoke. It was the only reason I purchased it, to try it out. I'm impressed and will be buying more. Hope I answered your question.

We have been using it outside since we purchased it and our smoker has never been wet when we removed the cover. I couldn't understand the "indoor use only" description. Who uses a smoker indoors?
