The job of removing unpleasant odors has become pleasantly easy. The technology behind the ozone generators allows you to do the job quickly and efficiently on your own.

An ozone generator produces ozone that provides safe and effective treatment of microorganisms, without the use of chemicals.

Different ozone machines have many of the same functions and are used in the same way. However, the biggest difference is the area it will cover, hence there will be a slight difference in weight and size. With an ozone generator, you can effectively remove odors, bacteria, viruses, mold spores and allergens.

In this test, you will find different ozone generators for different needs, i.e., you will need a more powerful machine to clean a hotel than for a caravan.

Why should you invest in an ozone machine?

To understand how an ozone generator works, it is wise to look at the scientific process. Ozone is similar to oxygen, but is still very different. Ozone is unhealthy and can be harmful in some situations. You can use an ozone machine for many different purposes. Unpleasant and unwanted odors are difficult to remove with a regular wash, but this is where an ozone machine can help you. There may be an unpleasant smell of smoke in your house, or a scent from mold that sits in the walls.

Ozone generators are designed to produce ozone which is used to purify the air. When ozone is present indoors or low in the terrain, it can be harmful and can cause respiratory problems. Ozone from the ozone machine attaches to dust particles and other pollutants and removes it from the air.

An ozone generator helps you prevent the spread of infection as it sterilizes bacteria. This also applies to fungal spores and viruses. It is the fungal spores that spread mold and create the typical bad odor associated with mold. In these cases, the ozone generator can be the solution as long as the mold spread is not too deep in the material.

The ozone generator improves air quality and can be a great solution for those who struggle with irritated airways, asthma or allergies. If you have worked with chemicals or perhaps refurbished the house with paint, the machine will help to cleanse the pungent smell. It will also remove spills from chemicals or strong odors that, for example, a broken bottle of perfume can cause.

It does not have to be about toxic chemicals or harmful mold odor. The machine can also clean a room with a trapped odor that is difficult to remove in other ways. Maybe the cabin has not been used for a while and has been empty for too long.
It will also help clean the air if you have been unlucky with the stove which has formed a layer of smoke in the room. Smells from food such as an old fryer or meat often spread throughout the house and can sit for many days. Not to mention the smell of smoke from cigarettes. The ozone machine can help you get the fresh and clean air back.

If you love to go camping or want fresh air in the car, you can get a small generator. For larger areas such as a hotel or business space, an industrial generator is the best choice. For a normal household, though, a medium-sized ozone generator works perfectly.

Pros and cons of an ozone generator

When acquiring an ozone generator, safety should always be a priority. Be sure to read the manufacturer’s safety warnings for proper use before using the machine. Although an ozone machine can be safely used in many different situations, it can cause disease in both humans and animals. The most important thing is to never run an ozone generator in a room with living things. This also includes flowers and plants.

Here is an overview of both advantages and disadvantages that can come with an ozone generator. This way, you can choose what value such a machine can have for you and what precautions you should take.

Pros:

1. An ozone machine improves air quality and cleans odors that are difficult to get rid of during normal washing
2. It can prevent the smell and spread of mold in the walls 
3. The machine is easy to use and can remove viruses and bacteria in the air
4. An ozone generator is safe when used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations 
5. It is economical to use and has a long service life during normal usage
6. There are machines of different sizes and price ranges that cover most needs 
7. An ozone generator cleanses the air of spills such as chemicals, perfumes, cigarette smoke and strong food odors

Cons:

1. Exposure to high levels of ozone can harm both humans and pets
2. Ozone can, over time, lead to damage to rubber and gaskets
3. The machine can become expensive with frequent use
4. You cannot be in the room where the machine is in use
5. There is no guarantee that all particles and all odors will disappear completely

Our criteria

Finding the right ozone machine can be a bit difficult. Every manufacturer will claim that their device is the ideal one. Therefore, it may be worthwhile to read the information you get from genuine product reviewers and feedback from other users.

In this test, we have looked at a number of properties of ozone generators where price, ease of use and safety are some of the criteria.

Of course, we should not forget the price and the guarantee. It is not always the best choice to buy the cheapest device, but you also do not need to get the largest and most expensive machine if there is no need for it.

User-friendliness

How easy is the ozone machine to use? It’s simple; the machine only needs to be connected to a power outlet. We have also looked at the settings and how the machines are maintained. There are several reasons why you should consider the size of your machine. For example, if you want to use it for several rooms in a large house, you must constantly move it from one room to another. A large machine can then be impractical.

Safety

In our test, safety is, of course, an important factor. Safety is especially important for an electrical device that is left unattended for a long time.

It is therefore recommended to use a timer. Once the machine has cleaned the room, wait for half an hour to an hour to ensure that the oxygen level returns to normal.

It is useful to preset the timer and return when the room is safe. Some ozone machines come with this external feature and can be controlled via a smartphone.

Capacity

The test also assesses where the ozone generator is suitable to use, and how large an area it can cover.

Mg/h determines how efficient the machine is and how large an area it covers.

Ozone generators with lower mg/h are best suited for small rooms in addition to boats, cars and caravans. For larger areas, such as hotels and schools, you should use a machine with a higher mg/h.

We also consider how efficient the machine is, how long it lasts, and how much time the treatment takes.
