## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to turn off the plama ionizer?**
A: Thank you for providing the information for turning the ionizer off.

For those wondering why you would turn this off, it is not becasue of the smell (it is actually suppose to remove smells), it is becasue it creates a *small* amount of ozone which can be potentially harmful especially to those with lung problems, the young and old or those with compromised immune systems. It can weaken the immune system and make allergy and asthma symptoms worse for those who suffer. 

The EPA lists ozone as a hazardous air pollutant. It does occur naturally, but that doesnt make it safe at all. The levels are listed as 

Good: 0-50 PPB (parts per billion)
Moderate: 51-100
Disruptive: 101-150
Unhealthy: 151-200
Very unhealthy:201-250
Anything above this is very hazardous to your health.

The healthy oxygen we breathe is actually dioxygen (2 oxygen molecules), ozone is is trioxygen (3 oxygen molecules). The 3rd oxygen molecule is unstable and wants to attach to something else (it feels like the ultimate 3rd wheel lol) however it will essentially destroy what it attaches to like dust, dander, mold, but also it will attach to anything it can and destroy the cell wall (including irritating and damaging soft lung tissue).

The FDA now require purifiers produce a maximum of 50 parts per billion of ozone. We breathe in small amounts of ozone all the time. You see or hear of the air pollution  warnings often in heavily populated areas and it increases in the summer and high heat.

There are so many things that we breathe as well as ozone that are harmful to us, especially in larger amounts. Many occur naturally but humans and our technology and inventions are making it worse.

So I personally do not see the benefit in adding to the problem we are often creating, with a product that can add further to the issue if I don't have to, instead if you can buy a TRUE Hepa filter air purifier for nearly all home purification needs which will do a much better job.

(There are places and times where it is beneficial and also some places where necessary to use ionic purifiers.)

I am the first to want to save a buck and have something I do not have to replace things like filters, but after a ton of research and my knowledge this is a place I'm willing to give. TRUE HEPA filter air purifier seems worth it 100%


Here is more great information (note the second link is focusing on OZONE generators which release dangerous levels of ozone, somewhat similar to ionization purifiers but it is done outside of the unit and on a much higher level)

**Q: The black one is $100. more than the white one, yet they are listed as if they are one of the same.  Why?**
A: The black one is a 290; Fellowes 9286201 AeraMax 290 Large Room Air Purifier for Allergies, Asthma and Flu with True HEPA Filter and 4-Stage Purification.
The white one is a 300; AeraMax 300 Large Room Air Purifier Mold, Odors, Dust, Smoke, Allergens and Germs with True HEPA Filter and 4-Stage Purification, they're both made by Fellowes.

**Q: you have 3 items purchased together. Does unit come with 3 filters? why extra 4 pack filter plus extra true hepa filters?**
A: It comes with 2 filters, one is paper hepa. The other is charcoal. Life of filters, should be 3 months for charcoal, 1 year for paper. I have owned unit about 2 months. There are filter lights to indicate when filters need to be changed. I am happy with the unit so far.

**Q: How do you reset the carbon filter light after changing the filter? I can't find my manual.**
A: Here's the directions to reset the filter light (either the HEPA and/or Carbon Filter):  Taken from the Fellowes website.*Locate the filter replacement icon on the display panel*Press & hold the filter replacement icon for 3 seconds until the unit beeps.  Filter icon will flash amber.  Press filter icon area to alternate between HEPA and Carbon.*Once desired filter is illuminated, press & hold for 3-5 seconds.  A short beep will be heard and the light should turn off.  Repeat process for each filter as needed.

    WONDERFUL if you don't mind light! UPDATE after 4 years...
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2016*

* OVERALL: This makes the room smell reminiscent of a health facility because it makes the air so clean and has noticeably improved the number of sinus infections I get.* Noise: it can get loud on level 4+ but that is because it's taking in and pressing out a lot of air. At 2 or below, it's quiet enough to watch tv alongside and still be able to hear. At level 3, you could get by with turning the tv up slightly. For conversation in the room, fan speed 3+ is a no go.* The Ionizer: The ionizer can be turned off by holding down the bottom blue button with the star on it, which I always keep turned off. Since the mere presence of an ionizer and plasma tech can release ozone even when not in use, I wish I could remove it. Ozone means particles are larger, heavier, and stick to the insides of your lungs more easily. This causes lung irritation and keeps irritants within the lungs more securely and for longer periods of times. You generally don't want to breathe ozone in you have no respiratory issues, and if you have lung sensitivity, allergies, asthma, COPD, etc., you're really going to want to avoid it entirely.* Size: The unit is big, about 2.5' tall, and the air intake is on the sides.* LIGHT ISSUE: I wish the lights that illuminated the buttons could be turned off at night, as the light keeps me awake (blue light). I've resorted to covering it with some fabric, which covers the import and export vent slightly. AERAMAX, PLEASE provide an option to turn off all the lights. The light shines from the buttons, and also shines out the sides of the device through the intake vents in a darkened room. Any light disrupts melatonin production, and blue light is the worst suspect. After over a year of 24/7 use, I'm buying another brand of air purifier just to alleviate this issue of fighting with the light emanating from the machine.* Weight: Heavy. This is not something you're going to want to move from room to room. It has a handle for carrying it if needed, but you're going to want to leave it where you left it. Since it's wide and narrow and tall, and thus tippy, you're not going to want to attach wheels or place it on a wheeling base to combat the weight of moving it.* Filters: The carbon filters appear to need replacing twice as often as the HEPA filters.* Aesthetics: I would have appreciated the black areas of the unit being white, to lend a more sleek and modern vibe, as it looks more like a 1990's space capsule with it's shape and contrasting black and white. Something about Nintendo comes to mind, and ET.* Structural Design: I love that the vent that blows the clean air is at the top, and can be tilted and directed where you want it. You can aim it to blow right at your face if you have a sinus headache and/or breath clean air while you work on the computer or watch TV.* Longevity/Quality: 100%. I have used this device 24/7 at fan speed 3 for over a year and it's still going strong. It's gone through 3 HEPA filter changes, and 4 carbon filter changes, not always replaced on time ;)UPDATE:After 4 years and 4 months of 24/7 use on fan speed 3, this air purifier LIVES. It has no issues whatsoever and works perfectly. A+ for quality! I resorted to covering the lights with black electrical tape. This means that every time I move it to another room and turn it on again, I have to lift the tape at the bottom and press the ionizing light to turn off the ionizer, then press the tape back down while trying not to trigger the other buttons. The light from the other lit buttons is slightly visible from the sides where the intake vents are located. I have no complaints about this item except for the lights. It could be quieter as well, if I'm being particular, but the required CFM for an air purifier to do well really requires that it moves a lot of air, which makes noise.

    It definitely works but I wish you could turn off the bright lights at night.
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020*

Do you have dust in your house, pets or allergies? Well then it’s time to get an air purifier. This is a great investment into your health and is built to last a lifetime. This size machine will purify the air for up to 500 sq ft! I love cooking steaks on a cast iron skillet but live in an apartment and needless to say it gets smoky! AeroMax works quickly, quietly and effectively to purify and it clears out the kitchen smoke in less than a minute. I love the automatic mode because you can save power and electricity when your air is perfectly clean and the machine is smart enough to know when it needs to be kicked into high gear and refilters the entire room in minutes. I know some comments talk about a high pitched squealing- that’s from the plasma filter. You can change it to run the Hepa filter instead or turn it off. This purifier guarantees that there won’t be any negative ions but they allow you to not risk it and shut it off. For those people who are sensitive to noise turn it off the plasma option at night, my dog doesn’t seem to mind the sound either way and I don’t notice the squealing during the day.-The only con I have about this device is that I wish I could turn the lights off on it! They thought of everything else why not add that feature? The lights are huge and extremely bright blue, equivalent to a child’s nightlight. Let’s just say I’ll never stub my toe again walking to the bathroom at night with this thing on- it’s that bright. Your brain cannot fully go into rem sleep with bright light and it was effecting my sleep. unfortunately I cannot throw a blanket over it because it covers the intake and I cannot tape something over the 5 lights because this machine is extremely touch sensitive. So maybe it would be good in a kids room or if you didn’t mind sleeping with your room illuminated.Other then that it works great, I love watching it work while I’m vacuuming or dusting really takes care or those airborne particles.

    Best home filter I've ever purchased. 6 years strong!
  

*by P***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2022*

This air purifier works great, I bought it in 2016 and it's now 2022, that's 6 years of nearly always on use! Seriously, I've only unplugged it for like a month or 2 total in its life.  Filters aren't too badly priced and they do seem to work very well. (there are 3rd party filter packs that work well too!)Very quiet for the first 3 settings and the highest setting is loud but wow it moves air like no other! The Auto and Auto plus work very well, changing speed when needed. Auto plus just uses 1 level higher than standard auto for a little extra power.Great for someone who is a smoker or has asthma or other breathing conditions, keeps basements smelling nice. And really helps if you have , cats, dogs, other animals.There is virtually no dust in my room with the filter, it really does a great job of capturing it. Every other week I remove the filter and vacuum the charcoal pre-filter to remove the pet hair/dust, this really helps keep the machine running well.I have taken this air purifier apart for a deep cleaning but it wasn't too bad inside, the hardest place to clean is the space right in front of the filter intake, it's hard to get anything in there to clean so it just collects dust, that's why I opened it to clean it. Opening it is not too hard if your handy, but I'd wait until the warranty runs out just in case.No issues to report either, it has just always worked, which is impressive.I really do recommend this product, the price is well justified.
