The Breathe Fresh Air Purifier treats the air in your home or office by breaking down odor causing pollutants and dropping airborne particulate from your breathing space. The Breathe Fresh Air Purifier produces ozone and negatively charged ions, the same effective cleansing agents that natures uses to treat outdoor air. The process includes: 1) The unit uses a needlepoint ionizer to drop dust, smoke and other harmful particles from the air we breathe. In our homes and offices there is a lack of negative ions and an abundance of positive ions. The buildings we spend most of our time in block out the natural occurring negative ions. The Air Purifier recreates the natural balance of positive to negative ions to significantly reduce airborne particulate. 2) The unit uses electricity to split oxygen O2 molecules into single o1 atoms, which attach loosely to other O2 molecules to become O3 (activated oxygen). This loosely attached oxygen atom is unstable and seeks to bond with chemical compounds and other odor causing pollutants in order to oxidize them. This unit makes ozone- to use the ozone function set the timer on the unit and leave your space- the ozone function must be used while no one is present-return 1-2 hours after the item turns off and the room will smell very fresh like after a lighting storm. While ozone is on it can smell like a mixture of bleach or chlorine while on – that is a normal smell of it working and scrubbing the air- After the unit turns off wait 1-2 hours and the room will smell extremely fresh. You can tell the ozone function is on when the item is making noise like static electricity- that is normal. If you never want to use the ozone function you can remove ozone plate from the back of the unit and it will never produce ozone.

Fan blades get dusty
Our Breath Fresh Air Purifier seems to be not performing well. We have owned this now for about one year. We have noticed the interior fan blades get covered with much dust. The air filters are placed behind the fan blades, yet they do not appear to be dusty -- it is as if the fan blades are too weak to draw in air through the filters; consequently, the air filters take in little air and filters out little air. I checked over the unit thoroughly to make sure I did not miss anything important but did not notice anything out of place.I read one other review that indicates the same issue -- regarding the fan blades. Also, if one puts a small piece of tissue paper where the air is supposed to be drawn in from (the back end where the filters are located), the tissue paper falls without attaching itself to the back -- no air flow! I believe the design of this air purifier is flawed.So, I decided to purchase a new air purifier. Save yourself the money and look at other air purifiers that suck in air and use the air filter(s).

It cleans the air wonderfully and I highly recommend it to everyone
I use this machine in my art studio, working with a lot of resin and smoke. It cleans the air wonderfully and I highly recommend it to everyone. In colorado, it helps with the smoke from the fires around here. This little sucker runs damn near 24/7 and holds up wonderfully

Works well. Not sure if I have Ozone plate as directions not clear on how to put it in.

May be unhealthy
Air purifiers with ionizers are tested to not exceed 50 ppb of generated ozone, they are not tested to produce 0 ppb. Ozone is unhealthy.In shopping for an air purifier I found various forms of misleading information regarding one stage of filtering called ionizing (plasma, ion). It is true that if you create an intense electrical field you can strip electrons of particles such as dust to make the dust electrically charged and therefore be attracted to an anode plate be collected instead of in the floating in the air. This same process may also kill bacteria and mold. But it is also true that the same mechanism strips electrons off of gasses such as oxygen and nitrogen. When oxygen is affected by the ionizer it becomes ozone. Ozone is a very unstable, highly-reactive, oxidizer. Think of it as a free-radical that wants to bond with something and most likely make something bad or at least unintended. It is toxic. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) limits for ozone emission concentration is 0.050 parts per million or better yet 50 parts per billion. For every billion molecules or air you are not allowed to exceed 50 molecules of ozone. That is a very, very, very small amount.It would seem like the fact that CARB has set this limit then everything should be ok. Well, the irritating ingredient in smog is ozone. On smoggy days ozone levels often exceed 100 ppm. During 2017 in Southern California ozone exceeded 100 ppb for 145 days in a row. Smog related ozone tends to drop every night. But if you are using an ionizer 24/7 and add its ozone output to the background levels of ozone you could create a real health hazard. The NIOSH recommended exposure limit for ozone is 100 ppb. According to NIOSH, Ozone levels of 500 ppb or higher are considered immediately dangerous to life or health.For filtering a mechanical filter is safer – coarse washable pre-filter, heap filter, and activated carbon are all you really need.
