Oreck XL Tabletop Air Cleaner

Pros: Performs well. Provides relief for allergy sufferers. Priced inexpensively compared to competition.
Cons: The primary drawback of the unit is the noise.

I am an allergy sufferer and have been looking for a solution to hopefully (am I dreaming?) be able to stop or at least cut back on the medications I have to take. I keep this unit in the bedroom and have noticed an improvement since I began using this...

Pros: Does a great job cleaning the air of dust, pet dander and smoke.
Cons: Messy to clean.

I have been using the Oreck XL Air 7 air purifier for nine months now and I am quite amazed at how it pulls pollutants out of the air. The reason I purchased this unit is that I developed allergies to dust and pet dander and I didn't want to get rid ...

Pros: Price, performance, build quality, made in the USA and looks.
Cons: Fan noise at the highest level.

I have severe allergies and I am very sensitive to dust, pollen and smoke. I live in an apartment with neighbors that smoke and the odor actually finds its way inside my place. I also live in LA so you can imagine how poor the ambient air quality is. I ...

Pros: Compact size
Cons: Faulty motors, POOR customer service is an understatement

The air cleaner in the brochure looked great, at a fair price, so we ordered one. The offer also inc ...

Pros: Seemed to help breathing some , black unit looks nice
Cons: Not worth the purchase price ! Do not buy !

The Oreck is heavily advertised on infomercials and that should be your first red flag as advertising there cost a fortune and puts less quality into the product.

I'll admit I got sucked in one sunday morning and bought two table top units. Less than a month later their both sitting here with a UPS call tag to go back.

We used them in bedrooms and I will say that my wife and I both noticed being less stuffed up in the morning.

But after a few weeks and cleaning the truman cell many times , the zapping is extremely annoying and makes it impossible to use at night.

I even went to the degree of installing a 1/4" foam prefilter before their very crude screen of a filter before the truman core and it still didn't help.

I understand that the cell should zap when a large dust particle enters it , but this thing has virtually no dust on it every time it gets cleaned and I've used several diffeent types of cleaners with no improvement.
