Features:- WARNING: All ozone generators for home must be used in unoccupied areas. No persons, plants, or animals are allowed to remain in the use space during use. After finishing, please wait for 30 minutes until the residual ozone returns to breathable air before returning and opening the windows for ventilation
- High-efficiency output of 30,000mg/h and a longer lifespan due to its 3 upgraded ceramic ozone plates, it effectively eliminates odors in spaces up to 4000ft². The built-in high-speed fan rapidly spreads ozone throughout the area, effectively removing all unpleasant odors such as smoke, cooking, and pet odors
- The timer knob can be adjusted to a maximum of 120 minutes per use, or select the "HOLD" setting for continuous operation. In a 100 sq. ft. space, this high-output ozone generator eliminates odors in just 5-7 minutes. Detailed instruction manual lists recommended run times for different size spaces for your reference
- 3.8lb weight and a portable handle

My advice is to get a model with wifi connection. I've found that running it continuously for longer period leads to a stronger nasty "after smell". Instead I crack a window and use the app to turn on the generator after I left the room and run in cycles of 10-20min depending on room size. 10min on, 10min off, 10min on, etc. Usually 3 cycles. Then run inside, open all the windows fully, and then wait an hour to go back in. No nasty lingering smells doing it this way. If the original smell is still there I'll do another treatment cycle, but you really don't want to over do it with ozone.

so if you stick one in a room, or a car, you might regret it later.

However, I've heard horror stories about ozone generators, including how they can melt plastic and rubber and are extremely toxic. Plus, the seller seems kind of iffy, so I'm not sure if it's a quality device I can trust.
I'll need to do some research or get additional feedback before deciding whether to buy it. Overall, though, it seems like a decent deal to someone who isn't very knowledgeable on the subject...

Ozone isn't fatal for humans either, as long as there is regular oxygen in the room. At worst, it's an irritant at short exposures (I've experienced it). It's long exposures that's problematic because ozone is an oxidant, e.g. the extra O oxidizes atoms (by stealing electrons), including the atoms making up your tissues. Neutralizing oxidants is why we take antioxidants like vitamins A,C and E. I wouldn't worry about quickly running into an ozonated room.
Ozone is fatal for most pathogens because they have very few cells. Oxidation destroys those cells, thus destroying the pathogen. In contrast, an adult male has 30+ TRILLION cells. Killing a few of those surface cells won't kill the human.
Ozone was great during COVID. We disinfected exam/patient rooms and sterilized equipment, including masks and gowns, using ozone. UV was the other option but ozone had the advantage of going into cracks and crevices. The disadvantage, of course, was that we had to wait for the ozone to dissipate, e.g. return to O2.
I now use ozonated water to disinfect the home and even my produce. Studies show that freshly ozonated water is many times more powerful than bleach. Other studies show that ozonating produce can remove pesticides and make them last longer. The poultry industry uses ozonated water to clean raw poultry.

This was something to consider during COVID. Because there was a shortage of masks and gowns, we had to sanitize and reuse them. Since both ozone and UV can damage plastic, we had to assess whether they compromised the masks, which are made of a nonwoven plastic. It was ultimately decided that the masks were still effective after a single ozone or UV treatment. Obviously, you can't do this repeatedly, but it allowed us to reuse PPE at least once.
Damage to surfaces is generally insignificant (or even nonexistent) but it's something to consider. You don't want to run this with antiques or expensive paintings in the room. But periodic use of ozone won't damage most surfaces, e.g. an hour every few months. It's the repeated constant saturation of ozone at close range that's damaging.
If I need to sanitize something, I put the item and an ozone generator into a metal trash can. I then put on the lid and seal any gaps with duct tape. Do a 15-30 min treatment and then take the trash can outside where the lid is removed. I used to have a VERY weak palm-sized generator that could be used inside a sealed plastic bag. It was great for ozonating clothing, gym bags, insoles, etc.
The Ozone molecules will attack anything like smoke in carpets or drapes, or anything alive, like bugs. (or you, if you foolishly stick around with it on) Ozone happens naturally from lightning.
