Well, maybe I should have read these reviews before I got the unit. Fortunately I got a good deal on this one new from eBay for only $265.

I have been using the unit for only about 2 weeks. So far no noticeable difference in air quality or smell or anything. The quietest setting is too loud for me to sleep with, after 2 weeks there is A LOT of dust on the unit and around it on my dresser, and now it is making a loud hissing noise which resembles the sound of my front lawn sprinklers…

I got the unit because my bedroom is always dusty and stuffy. I thought this might help that. It did not. On top of that I have had a sore throat and head cold since I started using the unit. Though I’m not sure if it is actually related to the use of the unit…

I also just found out that this unit is like all the others and produces OZONE!! OZONE is bad for your health. It really baffles me as to how all these air purifiers that are designed to help your air quality are actually producing ozone and are bad for your health. This was one of the reasons for my purchase of this unit because it did not state anything about being an ‘Ionizer’ or ‘Ozone generator’.

Some other things I noticed are that the night light always comes on when you turn the unit on (doesn’t remember the night light setting) and constantly makes loud pops and cracks like something is shorting out (I suspect large particles of dust are creating static inside the Truman cell or other dust/hair is creating a short circuit inside the Truman cell. It sounds like a spark and is a little scary…).

I am interested in finding an air purifier that does what it claims and doesn’t produce ozone. Hopefully I can find such a product. Unfortunately this was not it.
