Do you have to be out of the house when you have the ionizer on low? I have the fan on high and the ionizer on low 24/7. Please let me know. After reading all of the comments, I am becoming concerned.

I have two such units even though my condo is only 1088 SQ Ft. due to heavy dust pollution caused by a nearby highway. I get very good results by turning ionizer on midway and the fan on high 24/hours a day. An unexpected side benefit, the ozone kills large palmetto bugs. I also have two large air cleaners which in addition to the two ionizer machines gives a healthy breathing environment.

I have had no problem, but I only run it for a few hours on low when i am in the room. It is a small room..I'm not sure that is a good idea, though.

I keep mine on low 24/7 with no problem. I have asthma and COPD. I DO NOT put it on high.

I use mine in the bedrooms, turn the ceiling fans on and turn the ionizer/ozonator on and shut the door for a couple of hours. After that, I open the doors and keep the ceiling fans on for awhile....I use the ionizer/ozonator in the middle of the house when we are gone (put it on high) and when we get home, I keep the ceiling fans on for awhile. I keep the ionizer on medium speed frequently...I don't think anyone needs to be afraid.....It works wonderfully and this is the best bargain I have found in a long time...

No, I do not have to be out of the house when the ionizer is on low. This is a great unit. I have purchased units for hundreds of dollars and this unit is even better than all the others.

I don't leave the house, however, I don't have it on all the time. If you want it on all the time the fan will help. I use the ionizer on high for 15- 30 minutes with a standing oscillating fan in front of it, and that cleans the air really well, especially when expecting company.

I'm not a medical expert. I've left it on low and been home. I have asthma and was in a place that was really making me sick before using the unit. Now 4 months later I haven't had 1 attack and feel better. I accidentally left it on high when at home for a couple hours and felt funny, made my sinuses way too dry. Didn't do that again. Hope that helps.

Do you actually own one and had the light go out? My first one I had for about 2 years. I live about a mile from the everglades in South Florida so I run mine 24x7 except for when it is too cold for mosquitoes which means I run it nearly all year and I never had the bulb go out. Its an led and it does not appear that it is replaceable. My guess is that the fan would die first. Mine just got knocked on the floor one too many times.

I run a car stereo setup off of mine in the man cave. My fan runs all the time. But I just put a 12v fan controller on it and a bigger fan. Fixed the problem if you're a DIY'er

On the lowest Fan setting it's not too bad at all. On the highest, wow! We only turn it to the highest setting when we're asleep or not home, but we don't find that necessary very often. Traditionally, lowest setting works just fine for us.

Depending upon the desired temperature setting, this heater will shut down when that temp is reached. The ionizer - forget the scientific or pseudo scientific explanation - will help to remove unwanted odors from the room in which you have placed the heater. You might not notice it, so in that case, don't bother with it. I like to use it in our "wet dog" room which is not well ventilated but I most certainly don't hit the ION button every time I turn on this heater. Since I had an ionizer setting on a fan and was delighted with it - no I didn't notice an odor from its use.

Yea when you turn off the ignition it turns off. I think the 19,000 hours is the life of the ionizer which is different from the filter that you have to clean every week. Its in the manual where you purchase the ionizer but it cost 40 dollars before shipping or tax

My electric bill was not increased by more than $20/month, but, I live in Colorado so I typically needed to use it only to cool the room off and then could turn it off at night. We were probably losing more energy from not having adequate insulation in our attic! We've moved since we last had to use the AC, but I was sure thankful to have it when needed. I think one thing I would change if I had to go back and buy it again would be to choose a unit with an auto on/off feature. The user must turn this one off or on.

Does the smoke wreak through the floor? I would run the ozonator at overnight and then turn it off and just run the ionizer all of the time to circulate the air. The first Living Fresh Ionizer I purchased was when I lived in Indiana and had a massage therapy business and did a lot of essential oils and pain creams; worked wonderful on the odor as I had many clients with allergies. The last Ionizer (this one), I purchased because I had renters that had 2 dogs I didn't know about and pretty much ruined the cement floor in the sunroom. The stench was awful so after scrubbing the sunroom floor about 5 times, I purchased the ionizer and it took care of it beautifully!! The only other thing I can say is that the ozonator is pretty strong on the lowest setting so you would have to adjust accordingly but I think it would work for you. Maybe you could talk to the person who has the bar below you and suggest he purchase one to help both of you....you surely can't beat the price and its worth a try....If something happens to the one I have, I will buy another!! hope this helps

Agree with other users. I'm using fan now in Az desert hike. No way I want it to turn off even in the cooler nights. Love the fan.

Either they have changed the specifications, or your unit is defective. The fan on my unit only comes on when I've had it under heavy load for awhile, then shuts off awhile after the load is reduced.

Absolutely. I would not use an ionizer and I turned mine off. Very easy to do! Just press one button. On the front of the unit, there are various buttons with lights underneath. The Very bottom button looks like a star (?) If this is lit blue, the ionizer is on. To turn it off, press and hold the button until the light goes off (this take a few seconds). Good to go, without ions.

Best to vacate room ionizer is in. Yes, take cat out. Manufacturer brochure also states you should not stare into box.

Just bought mine today and turned it on 4 - experiencing a similar problem: Every several minutes the fan will decrease for a second and then go back to normal. It's almost like a power issue, but I don't notice lights dimming or anything else other than the fan noise for that second...

i can't seem to find any info on being able to replace the filter. maybe it's permanently inside the fan? I also didn't find anything on the fan itself to see where you could replace the filter. A lot of reviews say the ionizer is worthless but I love my fan. I haven't used the ionizer too much but I don't feel I need it. My thought was, if I need it, it's there. The fan is fairly priced for what you get even if it didn't have the ionizer. For me, it was well worth the purchase. I hope this helps.

Mine does this too, I was told that the fan is turning on and for some reason it is surging. It only does this when in standby mode, does yours do it when in use as well or just stand by?

Your question is not complete what effect are you referring to. I have been using ionizer for 14 yrs see. Lot of things
