A warning about Rabbit Air Purifiers

[JDoughty]

Don't get me wrong, it's a great product and I'm very happy I installed one in my little smoking corner. My spouse is too. They really do a fine job of reducing or eliminating the smell of cigar smoke indoors. 

This said, if you are ever searching for replacement parts for yours, for the love of god don't EVER search "Rabbit remote" with images on. Especially if your spouse is likely to walk in the room. 😝

I will admit that I did not know this until just now, when I (and my spouse) got quite a visual lesson on this subject. My older RabbitAir model has a very specific looking remote control, so I was searching images in the hopes of finding the correct replacement unit. This was a tactical error and I have significantly refined my search terms in an attempt to make sure I am going to be looking at air purifier products and not the other thing. 😆

I couldn't put 2 and 2 together on why that search would be so bad until @BrightonCorgi responded.

Try it, you won't like it. Or maybe you will. 😝 I'm not judging. I will warn you that those other Rabbit products seem quite unlikely to be a very useful adjunct to cigar smoking. At least not my cigar smoking. Can't speak for some of these modern influencers on social media though. Never know what they're going to try next.

Pretty sure @Fuzz AI created the "rabbit remote" a true innovator!

Why, oh why, did I just know my name is going to appear in this thread?

You see. This is what you get if you go wondering around t'internet with the safe search filters switched off!

I had to show the missus that website. At first she wasn't too pleased but eventually she came around. Thanks to all my FOH brethren, I'm getting an air purifier!

Er, I think you'd best make sure that the one she's getting is in fact the air purifier. 🥴

Yeah, the one that will benefit the both of us, right?

The last time I turned safe search on was when I legitimately had to research a veterinary question about donkey breeding, on a work computer. Equines are outside my normal scope, but our mammal person was out that day. Sadly, it was only mostly effective. Trust me on this one, unless you really need know the likely genetics of a petting zoo veterinary patient that came in as a rescue with no history, this is not a subject you want to ask Google about. Fortunately, once we'd figured out which parent was probably which based on morphology, the rest of the question involved veterinary databases that did not include any questionable content. 🥴

Bill Clinton might disagree.

I mean, maybe if the little rabbit ears vibrated fast enough, it might fan some cigar smoke around?

They have an app you can use to control many of the units.

Not sure if that will work with one as old as mine? I have the BioGS SPA-421A. The remote for this unit looks quite different from the more modern ones in this line and has been quite difficult to find. A text search just turns up endless examples of the new ones. Filters have continued to be easy to find, fortunately.
