Making the air smell like ozone means it’s probably doing something unhelpful/actively harmful in addition to filtering. Did it have an ionizer or similar?

- seanmcdirmid 7y agoNo, it’s a Blue Air so doesn’t include an ionizer, it just when HEPA filter.
- ericd 7y agoHuh weird, seems highly rated, too. If it was loud in addition to the ozone smell and there was definitely no ionizer, I wonder if the motor was faulty.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoIt could have been fake. I bought it in a Chinese mall after all. 6000 kuai also. But I doubt it, I think it could have just been the stale air in the apartment getting to me, you can’t open the windows when you are using it of course. A real HVAC with air filtering will circulate air from the outside, so is quite different.
- kaybe 7y agoWhere is the ozone coming from then? Something doesn't seem right.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoIt was just a smell to me. I don’t think there was any ozone in there.
- dTal 7y agoArcing from poor quality brushes in a DC motor.
- coldtea 7y agoA filter alone doesn't ionize the air though...
