Enerzen Ozone Generator 60,000mg Industrial O3 Air Purifier Deodorizer (60,000mg - Black)

I bought this to help with a new home purchase. The home belonged to my grandparents and had *that* smell that's often in homes of the elderly. It worked amazingly well at neutralizing the odors. It operates on a timer, so just shut it in the room with the odor and forget it. Don't let it's small size fool you- its powerful and neutralized the air quality in my entire home! It's important to air the room out after though, as it isn't great for you to breathe the straight ozone it produces! A family member has also used it in her vehicle to get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke. I feel like this gadget is durable and It is definitely worth the cost so I'd so go fir it!

My house has always had an odd smell since I bought it 12 years ago. My sister could smell it on my clothes even when I went over to her house. Perhaps a bit of mildew as I've noticed dusting on wooden surfaces, windows, doors, and cabinets. I've cleaned them, and even put a fresh layer of polyurethane over all my wood surfaces. I don't see dusting anymore, but the smell persisted.With the pandemic, lots of talk about treating air with UVC. That triggered memories that UVC lights are commonly used to disinfect operating rooms at work. So I gave it a go with some lights I picked up from Amazon. Well, success! But hard one as I had to do each room like 6 times, moving the light each time.From reading reviews of UVC lights, I came across the idea of ozone generators. They work much more globally that lights, filling spaces the lights cannot touch effectively. Both types of units are dangerous and have to be used with caution. I've been burned by UVC lights in the operating room with tidbits of exposed skin. And ozone is tremendously harmful to life, not just microbes. In particular for humans, toxic for lungs. So you need remove plants, pets and people from your home.So I bought this unit in cold weather so opening windows was out (I had storm windows on anyway). With a bit more research I found that the ozone breaks down over time. Depending on how much you generate determines how long before it is safe to reoccupy. However that is hard, and I found recommendations that 4 hours after using generator is a very conservative safety margin. Thus it was easy to simply use for the maximum time either whole house or per room and add 4 hours and not bother with airing out the rooms or house.Easy to use. Love the mechanical timer, a simple old fashioned dial just like a kitchen timer. No delay before starting so be prepared to leave the house immediately. There is a distinctive smell after using that in my experience lasts about one day at most. Not an unpleasant smell at all, smells clean. Not unrelated to positive ion generators I think. Good value, and I read tons of positive reviews here.As a huge bonus, it kill spiders!!! Other insects as well presumably.

I will put in the full product names again further down, since Amazon seems to mix and match product reviews. The unit I'm reviewing here is the Enerzen Commercial Ozone Generator 6,000mg. I have previously had an OION Technologies B-1000, which is okay and suitable for continuous operation. The Enerzen unit is NOT for continuous use - it makes way too much ozone to use it that way. Read on ...For $80, this ozone generator is a great buy! It puts out enough ozone to knock back the musty and pet-litter odors in our entire basement in just a few hours. Details follow.We have multiple cats, and one upstairs bathroom was their litter-box room, along with several boxes in the basement. When we decided to move the upstairs litter box elsewhere, I cleaned the room (including wet-mopping the floor), but the cat-pee spell persisted. I tried a single-room "air purifier" ion generator (OION Technologies B-1000) and while it did help, it was not enough. So I bought this unit (Enerzen Commercial Ozone Generator 6,000mg) and let it run for 30 minutes. Major improvement. Just to be thorough, and because I'm a firm believer in overkill, I then ran it overnight. Odor is GONE.The basement experience was similar. In addition to pet odors, we have had water get into our basement a couple of times - we're not talking about sewage, here, just outside water getting in through the foundation during heavy rain, and a one-time plumbing problem. I finally got the indoor-outdoor carpet fully dried, but there was a musty, mildewy, perhaps moldy odor. Ick. I rigged up a pretty good air-circulation setup, which helped, but the odor just persisted. Enter the ozone generator. I ran it for a couple of hours, being sure to keep the basement closed off for an EXTRA couple hours to let the ozone degrade back into harmless oxygen, and the odor was almost gone. So I ran it again, this time running for six hours overnight, with a few hours afterward to let the ozone dissipate. The musty smell is GONE. Has not come back. We now have our pet litter boxes down there, and if I don't keep up with them, the litter smell (kitty pee and poo) gets pretty nasty. I then 1) chide myself for not keeping up, 2) clean the litter boxes, and 3) run the ozone generator for a couple hours and the basement is PERFECTLY LIVABLE!!I highly recommend this product. Enerzen Commercial Ozone Generator 6,000mg.A caution - ozone is bad for people, pets and plants. Do NOT run this unit without closing the space off from people and pets, and be sure to take your plants out. When I run this in the basement, I shut off the central air while it's running and for a couple hours thereafter, so we don't get the ozone throughout the house. The time or two that I have forgotten to shut the AC down, we got a pretty strong after-the-thunderstorm smell throughout the house, which reminded me. No ill effects from that, but it was a pretty brief exposure.Also, I'm told that ozone is bad for, well, pretty much anything that breathes. It does seem that we don't have nearly the population of creepy crawlies in the basement anymore. Perhaps spiders, centipedes and other bugs do not tolerate a heavy dose of ozone for hours ... ?
