Just like all the rest of them, they're "Snake Oil".......a waste of money.
You still have to "clean" your equipment with soap and water before you use one of those things.
Wouldn't touch one with an eleven foot pole.

It uses ozone like the SoClean device.
Search the forum for prior discussions about devices that use ozone.
Some people do use it but the general consensus among the majority of forum members is that the device is a waste of money and potentially dangerous (ozone is a noxious gas which can cause lung issues) to the human and can cause deterioration in the mask and machine.

It doesn't clean anything if by cleaning you think removing snot, slobber, facial oils, etc. You still have to use plain ordinary soap and water to remove gunk. It's debatable if it actually is an effective sanitizer but even it it is...the germs/bacteria that it kills comes from you anyway. You will just put your bugs back on the equipment as soon as you touch it.

Not to mention my browser told me that the website you linked to was trying to do something that I normally don't care for.
That's bad. :lol:

None of the machine manufacturers recommend using an ozone cleaner for your equipment....they say soap and water.

Anyway some prior reading material about ozone cleaners.

I wouldn't want one or use one if it were free to me.

Ozone--can't breathe it; but some endeavor to SELL it.
Even has-been actors.
Claims to clean--but does NOT--unless you count wallets.

Thanks for that. I recall reading bad reviews on the "So Clean" unit. These seem to be popping up more frequently now. Here is another one trying to cash in on the unsuspecting public. They keep getting cheaper.

The first word is that it is Unnecessary and not recommended by any manufacturer.
