Talon Development Capture Ionic Smokeless Ashtray Generation III

It works great !! But it's cheaply made and falls apart !! I was extremely careful when cleaning it, but it still came apart at the back hinge. Bought a second one, and that lasted even less time than the first one !! The back hinge area should be made of metal, instead of cheapy plastic.

Product is VERY flimsy- small parts fall off very easily. I am on my 4th one. One of the ashtrays that I ordered, apparently, was defective - automatically shut off after a short period of use whether using the batteries or the plug in.- the base plate where the ashtray rests was hot. Why do I keep ordering these? Only because the sound is so quiet while most "smokeless" ashtrays are noisy.

No good if you are a heavy smoker. Threw it away.

The ashtray does eliminate much of the odor and captures most of the smoke. It's only when you clean it that you realize just how much nicotine is captured that could be in your lungs and on your walls. That said, cleaning the ashtray is a chore but a necessary one if you want the product to work efficiently. It is quite expensive though but all things considered, worth it.

I just got two more of these ashtrays after using one for a while. It works as advertized, capturing the smoke that leaves a cigarette that is placed in the ashtray. One aspect of it to keep in mind is that it works best if the cigarette is not placed right at the front of the unit -- better when it's at one of the sides.Noiseless! Big plus. And I don't understand the complaints about having to clean it. Of course you do -- it captures the smoke after all. With some alcohol in a spray bottle and soft rags, it's not arduous. Have to remember to recharge/replace batteries, but that's the nature of such devices.

This unit DOES work to remove smoke. But unless I cleaned it every other day, it became quite gunky...to the point that eventually, the plastic hinge piece simply broke in two. Perhaps the whole unit should be made out of metal.

It does not appear to work and I cannot see that it is absorbing the smoke. Because of the cost of this astray I really thought it would work.

It isn't perfect but does work reasonably well. It needs frequent cleaning. The majority of the smoke is out of the air in any room. Works better protected from drafts.
