Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oreck XL? Professional Air Purifier Signature Series (Burl Walnut)

Customer Review: Three Words - Save Your Money
Summary: 1 Stars

The only thing that Dave Oreck has succeeded in with these filters is a marketing gimmick. There is so much blow by in this thing that there seems to be more dust around it than in it. I love the demonstration where the unit cleans up the smoke in the little test chamber. Unless your room is this size, don't bother with this filter. Check out Consumer Reports review on the Orecks.. .dead last.

Doesn't it seem to be a dream that you can dip this thing into water and a little soap and it magically comes clean? Don't count on it. Next to industrial strength oven cleaner, NOTHING will get this clean if you smoke or cook within 30 feet of the thing. I went into my local store to ask about this issue and was given some simple steps to remedy this until I pointed out that the cell they had on DISPLAY showed the deposits in the center that I spoke of... oops!!!

The plus is that it does capture SOMETHING from the air but is a CADR of 30 REALLY worth the price? I think it would be more effective to put a fan in the window on the exhaust setting than to waste your money on this thing.

The ionizer? lol.. what an ionizer ACTUALLY does it dull your sense of smell.. So that fresh smell you THINK the machine is producing is actually in your imagination.

If you really feel the need to drop the cash for this, I have two that I would be willing to sell and include the Asail-a-Cell cleaner and replacement charcoal filters as a bonus. Never mind I wouldn't even do that to a stranger.

The certification this machine carries can be had for 500.00 I believe and the organization is not offering a seal of approval on ANYTHING. I guess maybe I should get one and stick it on my tailpipe.
