Pros: it looks pretty.
Cons: Doesnt work with fine dust produced with cement.
The Bottom Line: Do not believe everything they say, if anything. If you dont move the air you cant clean the air. They do move the air, but dont really clean it.

| rilubajito's Full Review: Oreck Oreck Professional Air Purifier Air Purifier |
I bought 2 of this air purifiers because I was doing some cement work in my house and my wife was pregned. She gave birth before I was finished rebuilding the entrance of my house. If you have worked with cement before, you know that it takes a little while for the fine dust to go away. Well, I put both of purifiers to work in a room that was 12feet by 16 feet by 9 feet high. To make a long story short, my problem was not even minimized. The filter in my air conditioned had to be cleaned every 4 to 7 days because it would get really dirty. Well, it took me 1 month to realize that the purifiers werent working like they advertized. A friend of mine recommended to try a HEPA filter by Austin; its called the Healthmate Junior. It was $250.00 + shipping. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. My best monitor is the air conditining and once I started to use the austin healtmate junior, WHITHIN HOURS ON HI you could tell the difference. If anyone thinks that I work for Austin, you are wrong; I live in Puerto Rico and no one sells their stuff here; THEY SHOULD; why? BECAUSE IT WORKS. Since my 90day trial with oreck is over i cant return it, even thou im still paying for it. They sell their own liquid to clean the filter; They also say that you could use soapy water; Mine looked a little better than when i took it out after i cleaned it with soapy water but could never get it to be like it was when it first came. By the way, the vacumm that they give you as a gift is just as good as the purifiers. Sooooooo, if you are willing to throuw you money away, Oreck is the way to go. If not, invest in something that has a HEPA filter, which will filter up to .3 microns.
