This smokeless ashtray works extremely well at containing second-hand smoke. Cleaning it can be a challenge; however, it works just as advertised! Recommend cleaning and changing the filters often to maintain the unit especially if you're a heavy smoker. I'm definitely sold on this item!

This ashtray gizmo does a fine job of filtering out the 'idle' smoke caused when you set your smoke in the ashtray. It adds up to a lot less smoke in my music room, which is always a good thing.

I suppose the noise is related to the motor that pulls the air from the ashtray into the filter system, but a quiet room will not be so quiet with this baby running. Cleaner air good but noise is not so good.

Mine has lasted a few years and has to deal with cigar, cigarette, clove cigarette, etc., smoke frequently. At this rate, it will outlast my lung capacity.

I haven't regretted buying this smokeless ashtray or the extra filters.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who I like to visit but end up leaving early because the smoke gets to me after awhile. (He was psyched too since he worries about his cat breathing in all the smoke) What a pleasant surprise it was! It needs no directions, just pop in 2 C batteries and you're ready to roll. It's very attractive and extremely simple to use. The top just lifts off, no pushing in tabs or buttons. It's obvious where to put in the batteries. The 2 filters are plastic rectangles that remove very easily just by tipping over the open ashtray. What an elegant design - no fuss, no muss. And of course, we did the test with a lit cigarette with the unit turned on and off (there's a simple switch for that) and voila! the smoke got sucked down the ashtray. There is a low humming sound that you have to try to hear. This is a great product! One suggestion, my friend keeps a regular ashtray next to it to put out his cigs so that his "nice" ashtray doesn't get crapped up with butts.

Visiting is so much easier now thanks to this smokeless ashtray.

This ashtray works well, isn't excessively loud for what it does, and doesn't use a lot of power so batteries last a while as long as you remember to turn it off. Of course it will not eliminate the effects of indoor smoking but it will reduce them.

I have tried a few in the past number of years, however, I can unequivocally state that this particular one works exceedingly well.

One suggestion: I believe that I read somewhere that this unit, with the batteries removed can be washed. Don't do it. I did and it made the noise level much louder.

Otherwise, this unit is quiet and does all that is promised. It is certainly worth the price and I highly recommend it without reservation.

it does work, as long as you have the cigarette placed in it - i 'm saying that cos i've noticed how my smoker friends have the habit to keep the cigarette between their fingers throughout the ... smoking ceremony.
you may become a bit annoying by reminding them to leave it in the tray after they've inhaled their smoke, but it's worth it.
I can't say if the batteries will last for a long time. So far so good.
Easy to clean, too.
It does have an annoying zzzzz sound, but you can turn it off once the cigarette is all smoked and done.

This is my second smokeless ashtray. For the person who thought it makes too much noise, you should have heard the "As Seen On TV" smokeless ashtray I used to have. That thing would wake up the neighborhood even if it had a Midas muffler installed, so by comparison this one is quiet.

All I can say is this unit does a decent job at what it's supposed to do. If you live in an apartment and don't want to disturb the neighbors with extra smoke creeping out your door as you listen to, oh, I don't know, say the "Legend" album by Bob Marley, this one's for you. As for the smoke you exhale, there's still nothing on the market for that yet except a good old fashioned window but this smokeless ashtray sure keeps the smoke to a minimum. Now excuse me while I put 'Jamming' on again and raid the fridge.

I really liked this product. My friend smokes and I do not, now when I visit I can breathe easy and I don't return home smelling so much of smoke. Fast service also; it arrived 4 days before the "estimated" time and it was 3 days after the order was placed. Thank you!

I had great hopes for this ashtray, but the noise is a constant irritant. I wanted something for my smoking friends to be able to use when they visit so they would not have to step outside. Even THEY agreed this was a growling little piece of irritation, and gladly bundle up to step outside.

This is the worst thing I ever bought, not only is it noisy it does not keep the smoke in. Awful piece of garbage.
