Comment on This product will eliminate odours in your home, but only in one plane

You see this on a lot of products. This is because a lot of people simply don’t understand how cubic meters work, or need to think about it where they know pretty much how much floorspace they have. And in practice it doesn’t matter, most people have ceilings somewhere around 2 meters and these indicators aren’t that precise anyways.

A 2m ceiling seems rather claustrophobic to me

How does that work when a standard door is 2.1m tall?

  Anyone who has ever done anything related to doors knows, there is no such thing as a standard door.

    That’s usually from the previous home owner who thought they could install the previous door themselves and not knowing the difference between a rough opening and finished opening.

    There is absolutely a minimum size that doors need to be for almost any house. Yes you can incorrectly install other doors, but codes provide a minimum size.

  Most ceilings are a foot and a half or more above the door

I might be wrong but I assumed it’s perfectly obvious to OP and it’s the kind of joke where something is funny because you stretch the meaning to read it literally. I chuckled actually, despite it making perfect sense.

You had a great post going until you screwed it all up by saying ceilings were only 2m high.

    Yeah: 2m or 1,50m, who really cares.

    But it does matter… someone with vaulted ceilings at 12’ instead of 8’ would have this be 50% as efficient, which is huge.
    
    The fact that you blundered the only important piece of information is ironic as shit,
