This happened to a few of the people who left downside reviews of this certain air cleaner model
Neglecting correct safety precautions with some machines might seem trivial, especially if there’s no real fire hazard. It’s dangerous to believe this mindset with anything that can overheat with imcorrect use. Even a basic oscillating fan can get dangerously boiling if you use it repeatedly after it has become completely encased in a thick layer of dust. I wash all of our fans on a yearly basis for this certain reason, but it’s also a smart habit to form in the name of retaining air quality. In the name of air quality we buy air cleaners but it’s straight-forward to forget that they need correct maintenance to labor for years to come. I have seen some downside reviews for air cleaners that I tend to care about plus wondered why. It seems that some people not only mishandle the fans inside, but the UV light needs to be installed consistently. Usually there is a metal shield between the UV bulb plus the wires coming out the back so the bright light can’t melt the plastic wire shielding. If the shielding melted it would cause a short in the wire plus could start a fire. This happened to a few of the people who left downside reviews of this certain air cleaner model. When I updated the UV light in our air cleaner, I was careful to put the metal shield between the bulb plus the bulb’s wire. Hopefully I won’t run into any issues with the UV light in our trusty air cleaner. It is a immense benefit in reducing allergens in our indoor air.
