Short version - Pros? it works really, really well in my setup. It scrubs my extract fan 100% in all conditions so far. Did I say it works really well?
Cons? It’s expensive (around $350 for the 6" version). It’s big and heavy. (12×12×18", probably 30# w filters). Replacement filters are expensive ($125) and proprietary and I don’t see any possiible way to refill them. I’ve only ran 6 months so I’m not sure how long they will last.
Writing that out it appears the cons exceed the pros, but did I mention that this thing works really, really, really well in my setup?
I was thinking of the “Are you a lone grower?” thread and there’s lots of us that for various reasons want to keep the odor down as much as possible. In my case, when we’ve been gone for awhile and I walk back into the house with my wife, I don’t want to hear “I can smell your garden”. Happy wife, happy life, right?
So after repeated attempts with the usual circular subjects that most of us use, (and repeated side-eyes from the wife) I broke down, spent the money and bought this.
So far I have no regrets. I have already purchased a spare set of the carbon inserts, and will probably grab another. The proprietary nature is a concern to me, but man this thing does work. I don’t normally “plug” products but if anybody is having issues like I was having you might want to check this out.
