Works great; be sure to adhere by all recommended safety protocols
By Michael L on Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024
Initially, I had planned to buy a different Ozone Generator recommended by another YouTuber with more views. But then I saw YouTuber Chuck Morgan use this one on his truck and ask, of all people, his mother-in-law whether it worked. I agree with Chuck Morgan's mother-in-law: this machine works great! I could not smell any trace of cigarette smoke after performing the following steps (with safety in mind): 1. Changed the cabin air filter in my Toyota Prius 2. Used a treatment of Ozium recommended to me by a guy at Auto-zone who smokes (so I figured he'd have some personal experience with the topic of tobacco odor removal). 3. For this treatment, I released the can of Ozium and had it running in my car with the air conditioner on circulate and all windows closed. Prior to this step, just like Chuck Morgan says, I flipped up all my floor mats so every surface inside got some of the odor elimination. ***NOTICE***: Put some latex/plastic (if you have allergies to latex) gloves on prior to using Ozium. I accidentally released some on my finger and had to wash the skin for 15 minutes straight. 4. I left the Ozium circulating through my car for 30 minutes. 5. I then put on a surgical mask & goggles and aired out my car for several hours with my windows cracked (I would have opened more but didn't want the cats to get inside). 6. Now comes the Ozone Generator: 2 days after the Ozium treatment, I set the timer knob onto about 35 minutes (before connecting it to a power source! Please adhere to all safety protocols with this device. Somebody on Reddit (or somewhere) said they had a friend who died from sleeping in a house with two of these running while he was in the house. Don't get near this thing while it's running!) 7. All windows on my car were closed, except the front passenger's side one cracked just enough for the Airthereal's AC adapter to come through the crack in the window. 8. Once again, I started up my car, set my air conditioner on high fan, 60 degrees, and circulate, and left it in Park. (Be very certain you have left your car in park. Turn on the emergency brake, just in case, (and then remember to turn the emergency brake off before you drive anywhere, of course). 9. I then held my breath, got out of the car, and connected an unplugged extension cord to the AC adapter of the Airthereal. 10. Lastly, I ran into the house and plugged the extension cord into an outlet in the house. The Ozone generator then ran for 30 minutes. I was away from the car during this time. 11. Once the Airthereal Ozone Generator finished running and had just sat there for about 15 more minutes, I put on a surgical mask and some mechanic's goggles. I held my breath, opened my driver's side door, and opened up my windows. Like Chuck Morgan, I then kept the air conditioner on, but without circulate so that it was drawing in fresh air from the outside. I also connected a fan to the extension cord, instead of the ozone generator, and left that running in my car for about 90 minutes (it was getting dark and my setup was outside. Otherwise, I might have tried to draw in clean air for longer.) 12. Chuck Morgan's mother-in-law described my situation correctly, as well: your car ought to smell like plastic now. So 2 days after this process, I got a cloth with some dish soap & wiped down the plastic surfaces inside my car. I then rinsed it off. No smell! I then did a fairly similar process to disinfect a used laptop the following week. This device is worth every penny! It brings new life into old things. Get one today (and respect all safety protocols. Safety is everyone's job!)

It works, but can cause a worse problem than it solves
By Mike B on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023
This works to fight tough odors, but I am rating this lower because of one major issue I think people really need to be aware of. I ran this in the basement to remove smoke odor from the stove that back-drafted into the house, and the smoke odor is not there now, but it left a bad smell in the air for many days now, and it's not the Ozone. It's an unpleasant chemical smell I can't quite describe. Tried airing it out, spreading baking soda, etc but it's at least as bad as the smoke smell. Did some research and apparently Ozone in high enough concentrations reacts with various rubbers and fabric and causes them to break down and release VOC gases. The carpet is likely the biggest source of this. This can last for weeks! Not only is that bad for things in the room but it stinks and there is nothing you can do about it. I ran it on the high end of the recommendation for the room size (45 minutes) but nothing crazy. BE CAREFUL. Run it for far less than the recommended time at first. This problem is not mentioned at all in the instructions and it really should be a clear warning - ozone is corrosive and can cause damage and worse odors than it removes if you are not very careful! Hopefully I will prevent someone else from making the same mistake not knowing any better.
