Most everyone has seen those TV commercials over the years that show the guy sucking up a bowling ball with the 8 pound Oreck vacuum cleaner. No doubt, the Oreck vacuum is a quality product. That is partly why that when I seen the new Oreck XL Tabletop Professional Air Purifier come out, I took notice of it right away. Allergies run high in our family, with my wife and daughter suffering greatly. Having an air purifier is really a must have for us. I like the Oreck XL for many reasons.
Using the Oreck XL purifier is as simple as it gets. When the box was delivered to my door all I had to do was plug the unit in. There was no putting the air purifier together or trying to figure out what goes where. It's ready to go!
The Oreck system uses a 6-stage filtration system to remove all the pollens, cigarette smoke, and every other kind of pollutant from the air. The fan first draws in all the outside air where the Truman Cell technology takes over from there. This new Truman Cell technology is actually based on what the U.S. military uses in their submarines to clean the air. This new technology is a dramatic step up from the HEPA filtration systems. Instead of capturing particles as small as 0.3 microns, the Oreck air purifier catches them as small as 0.1 microns. With the HEPA filter you also have to replace the filter on a frequent basis because it can get clogged and even release mold back into the air.
The Oreck XL uses a permanent filter which never needs replacing. You can simply use soap and water to clean it. Dry it off and you're good to go.
