 "best upright vac" 2009-08-25
By polarpooch (Madison, WI United States)
Well, I never thought I'd say it: I found the perfect vacuum. I was on a quest, and never seemed to find the right vac that would be able to handle the copious amounts of dog hair I deal with everyday. I have burned out many a vacuum cleaner trying. I last used a Hoover Fusion cyclonic, and it was pretty good. Then, for the second time, it konked out. Scratch Hoover off the list. I thought "maybe I should just splurge"! But what to splurge on? I had been toying with the idea of getting a Dyson, but wasn't keen on the collection cup concept anymore (given my last 4 vacs were bagless). I researched many vacs, and finally settled on this (pricey) Oreck. I'm glad I got it, because it's (almost!) perfect. I was attracted to the light weight of the unit. Luckily, there is an Oreck store in my city, and I was able to "test drive" this vac. Here are the good/bad of it (mostly good):



Pros:

Light weight. really, it's a treat to not drag around a heavy vac anymore. this feature alone is worth checking out this brand

Power. it literally sucks all the siberian husky molted hair off my hardwoods, tile, area rugs and carpet in one pass. no lie. it's not just vacuuming, it's CLEANING your floors.

Lighted path. love the powerful LED light that allows you to see just what you've been missing w/your other vacs! actually, it's a great guide for hardwoods to see the dust

Dual speeds. the low speed is for hard surfaces or very low pile rugs. the high speed is for the hardcore carpet cleaning. both work exceptionally well

Dust catching bags/filter. i never knew what a wonderful thing to not have to dust after vacuuming. till i got this oreck.

Angled for easy cleaning under beds. this is another feature i never knew i was missing. it's wonderful to have a vac that can actually reach under the bed to get the dog hair and dust.

Ergonomic design. both the handle and the cord catch are designed to make vacuuming, and carrying the unit as easy as possible. even my mom who has arthritis says it's easy to move

Self-powered. it practically vacuums w/out effort. the high speed will sort of "pull" you along like a power mower. makes vacuuming so easy.

Extra long cord. the cord is 30ft long. this is a great feature...i can get around nearly my whole house on one outlet.

10 year warranty/service. includes yearly overhaul and belt replacement. can't beat that.

Free bags for 1 year.

Free OUTSTANDING Oreck handheld canister vac (see my review on that little wonder of a machine)

Easy to set up.

$100 off on sale.



Cons:

No on board tools. oreck just doesn't do it. that's why they include the canister i guess. it's a nice bonus.

Colors available are kind of ugly. but...who really cares about the color of a vacuum?! still would have been nice to have something a little cooler than dull red or dull blue..

Belt does not have teeth. i expect over time it will slip. then again, i have 10 years of belt replacement.



Overall...this thing is a dream. Compared to everything else I've tried (several Hoovers, Eureka, Panasonic, Bissel of every variety), it's worth every penny.

 "Oreck Platium Vacuum cleaner" 2009-08-02
By P. J. Letteri


My sister has a Hoover Platinum it is good and seems to work well but the New

Oreck Platinum I purchased is much better built ,as well as the design is a direct pickup and Very powerfull route to the top feeded bag, also self adjusting to the carpet or hardwood floors I have both and it does a outstanding job.When on hardwood I put it on low speed and even sand is picked up,also the LED lights are very bright and show the carpet well ,the Hoover does not also the Hepa bag is much better and easier to remove and the brushes are real hair not nylon and 10 free tune ups,- per year is excellent and the ergo handle is very comfortable, and 2x as quiet which is also a big+.

The included 5lb shoulder strap carry vac is also a Hepa bag model and does a real nice job removing dust from the upholstery,and the attachments are noticably better made than the Hoovers .This machine is currently $200 off selling for $600, which is $150 more than the Hoover but well worth the difference ,also the stores and company is offering many payment options. With the full 10 year warranty and free annual tuneups you can't loose. One thing I would like to add the cordless Iron thrown in as a bonus my wife thinks is excellent

I would easilly recommend this system to a freind, Paul.

 "Oreck air purifier" 2008-06-02
By B. Farquhar (Pennsylvania)
I had one of these a few years ago (pre Katrina) and absolutely LOVED it. In a tiny appartment where the kitty litter has to be placed in the livingroom, something like this is a miracle worker. No one even knew there was a litterbox hidden right behind the sofa because this thing works so well!

The only down side is that it must be cleaned regularly or it starts making a popping noise. Its a small price to pay if you ask me. If you're too lazy to clean it once in a while, my guess is that you don't need an air purifier; you need a maid.

 "More work than its worth" 2008-02-01
By Danny Nox (Mississippi USA)
Ok I bought 2 of these because it looked great on TV. No filters to replace ect. The dust lands on the collection plates in the machine and they can't hold much. You have to clean the thing every few days. If you decide you don't feel like cleaning it right now the machine creates some kind of static popping noise like a bug zapper from the dust. It is the most annoying sound that forces you to clean it or shut it off. If you have had an Ionic breeze it's the same sound only add the noise from the fan contained in this machine. I wish I had bought a real air cleaner with a hepa filter. Not this thing.

 "No headaches and no sneezing!!, YaY!." 2008-08-15
By Mr. Gary F. Cady (Southern tier of N. Y. (upstate))
I have had my two Orek Xl's type 2 pro air purifiers just over 3 years and cannot imagine living without them. I will admit that there are popping noises when the plates start to get loaded but that is secondary to the feeling you get each and every morning you get up out of bed and realize that your headaches are gone, your nose don't feel plugged and you feel like a new man or woman each AND every day. We also run a whole house humidifier during the winter months, October thru March, and i'm hear to tell you that mornings and afternoons through nightime hours are just like afternoon rain showers in early summer, that is how refreshed i have felt, along with my wife, since purchasing these purifiers. Also i would like to add that we have three dogs that live inside with us and a cat with a cat box. The three little girls (dogs) have the usual doggy odors, they are shampooed twice monthly but before the Orek Purifiers you knew that we had dogs and a cat. The last three years friends and family come over for visits and holidays and ask, i'm not kidding, if we still have our pets?, i reply "yes we do", and they are still amazed at the difference that our Oreks have made on the odor department. Cooking odors?, no more, stale odors form the house being closed up for the winter?, gone, pet and cat box odors?, history. All i can do is recommend this amazing product, the rest is up to you, clean them on a regular schedule, follow the directions in the user manual and enjoy an invigorating new feeling in your general overall health, i know i have as has my wife. Come to think of it i think my dogs and the cat are healthier too, or maybe thats just wishfull thinking. Thanks for reading.

 "2 Week Efficiency" 2008-03-29

This purifier worked incredibly well for the first two weeks. Then the electrostatic popping started. First an occassional pop, then it was like a machine gun going off in my room, usually at 3 am. Following the cleaning instruction seemed to make it angrier. My poor dog peed on the floor and hid under the bed. Luckily they are offering a refund.

 "Happy Oreck Customer Going On 10 Years" 2009-06-10
By D. Knowles (Houston, TX)
I've tried the Hepa filter brands and found them to be unable to totally "scrub" the air as fast or through as the Oreck. My husband was a chain smoker our first 3 years of marriage and I had purchased a $400 Austin Air Healthmate air purifier. It had an enormous filter and boasted of scrubbing the air down to .01 micron. Well, honestly all it did was push the air around. There was no way to thoroughly clean the filter, and the charcoal replacement cost was just not affordable like Oreck. I've used other brands as well, but I came back to Oreck, bought a vacuum cleaner and cordless iron and have been a very pleased customer ever since.

 "Very flimsy parts and crackles after first wash" 2008-03-31
By Susan Neff (Benicia, CA)
I bought two of these purifiers after watching a tv program. I was really surprised to find how cheap all the parts are for something that costs several hundred dollars (that's what I paid when I purchase it). It worked pretty well for the first few months but after I rinsed it (exactly according to directions), it started to crackle. I called Oreck and they said it crackles when something gets lodged in there. I wonder why it didn't do it for ths first few months. Overall, I'm very disappointed with this product and will never buy another Oreck again.

I have bought two of these and sent both back to the manufacturer for replacements. The older they get the noisier they get. You can't sleep with one of these on unless your a heavy sleeper. I never noticed a difference in air quality. It might do OK for a small apartment (away from the bedroom) but if you want my opinion the best way to clean the air in the home is to take the money you would of spent on this expensive unit and invest it in a better filter for the furnace. There are numerous kinds of furnace filter's that include electronic (what this unit is) and Heppa and they clean a bigger area more efficiently.

"breathing easy again" 2009-03-08
By Kathy in Claude
I own one of these and am getting ready to purchase a second. I have severe asthma, and this machine greatly reduces the amounts of contaminents in the air and makes my life a whole lot easier. My brother also has owned one for YEARS, and NEVER turns it off. The air is so much cleaner and purer when this is in use. I live in the panhandle of Texas where the wind and the dust NEVER stop blowing, and when you walk into a room, you can tell if the machine is on or not. It removes much of the dust, not all of it, it is not a miracle machine. As far as an ionizer, I don't really know what it does. All I know is I can breath with this machine on, and my medication intake is greatly reduced. I find cleaning it very easy. One screw under the front, remove the filter, dust it off, dust the inside of the machine, reach in and remove the metal screen thing, run it under water, pull out the back and dust it off. Re-assemble, and turn it back on and breath again. I would greatly recommend it for anyone with any type of COPD.

"Three Words - Save Your Money" 2009-03-06
By Boos mom (Columbus, Ga USA)
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.

 "WONDERFUL" 2009-01-23
By E. A. Richards (midwestusa)
This air purifier surpassed expectation. We've had others, including the Sharper Image nightmare of a purifier that was over $400 and died within a year.. So it was with hesitation that we ordered this unit and could not be happier. I too am surprised by the previous reviewer's comment that he has to clean it every day or so, I wonder if he has something in his house (i.e. smoke/lots of pets?) that might overload a unit. We have two cats and a large home and this purifier works wonders. I have only had to clean it once or twice a month and the occasional snap, crackle and pop are just reminders when it's time. We intend to buy more.

I bought a couple of these last year for I have some health problems that require me to be in a clean air environment. These have been great they really do a good job I leave mine on highest speed all the time which is noisy but when it comes to breathing fresh air this is well worth it. It does make some snapping sounds just before you need to clean it. This just lets me know that they need cleaning. I clean my cells with Clorox clean up cleaner I just squirt them then use hot water and the job is done. the only thing is that when it comes to drying the cell before using it it takes a while but this is my only complaint

 "This is great" 2008-09-14
By D. Proviano (Manassas, VA)
I rarely write comments, but I use them for most every purchase from Amazon. Since there wasn't much here, I wanted to let everyone know my experiences with the Oreck XL air purifier.



There's only one review on here so far. The guy says he had to clean his machine every day? I've had mine, for awhile now. I've gone a couple weeks to a month and a half without cleaning the cell. Actually after a little more than a month, I just cleaned it last night. All I did was run it under the faucet and it did the job. I will need to clean it with soap and water soon though.



The only reason I can see this machine getting so dirty so fast like the other person says, is if it was in an oil based enviroment where the dirt would pile on and need to be scrubbed off.





Just an example here: My allergies got real bad last night after I had my water heater replaced. I suppose a lot of mold was kicked around from when it had been leaking. I got up in the middle of the night and ran the cell under water, with a little brushing here and there.



After letting it dry, I really noticed the difference when it started up. I then slept for hours comfortably.



The con: It makes a small snapping sound when it needs to be cleaned. I use that as a reminder. It doesn't constantly make the sound. I will from time to time, then more often as it gets dirtier. It is hardly noticable to me.



As for the charcoal filter. You don't need to have it. It is a plus. I haven't gotten a refill since I got my machine a long time ago. I am thinking about getting it though. A relative uses it and It makes the room feel and smell cleaner.

 "High maintenance...sounds like a bug zapper!" 2008-05-17
By Scott J. Sedei
When I originally reviewed this product I gave it three stars. After using the product for over a year now I would take away two of those stars if I could.



I purchased three Oreck purifiers at the same time and notice very little difference in the air quality in my home.



Things I like:

The "silent" mode is great for sleeping (when the unit isn't popping and snapping). The design is attractive.



Things I don't like:

1) The rapid popping/snapping sound (like a bug zapper) the units make when the cell starts getting dirty. As another reviewer wrote - the rapid popping scared his poor dog so badly that it wet the floor. The noise is VERY annoying. You either clean it right away or turn it off because the snapping persists until something is done. Oreck recommends thorough cell cleaning every two weeks, but between the three units I have to do "quick cleanings" on at least one of them almost every day. Quick cleaning requires pulling the main cell and running a Q-Tip over the wires in front of the collection plates.



2) The Oreck infomercial misrepresents the product; the consumer pays a healthy price for this purifier believing there will be no additional costs associated with the purchase. They advertise "No Filter Replacement" - yet there is an "optional" charcoal odor absorbing filter that does need to be replaced if the unit is used to control odors. The cost of that filter at the Oreck site is $49.99.



According to my local Oreck store, the cell doesn't get real clean if only soaked in soapy water. The "optional" cell cleaner is strongly recommended to optimize the cell performance and extend the cell life. Each can of cell cleaner is $14.99. The local Oreck store recommended cleaning with cell cleaner, soaking in soapy water, and then cleaning again with more cell cleaner.



3) The collection plates in the main cell don't hold a lot of dust, and the odor absorbing filter is too small to catch much. I question how much dust is being pumped back into the air after it is "purified."



*Note: Several reviewers have suggested I use the units in extreme conditions. However, I live in a very large, brand new home; I don't smoke and have two cats so the operating conditions are far from extreme.



14 MONTH UPDATE:

After using the units for about 14 months, two of the three original machines I purchased died and are happily disposed of. The one remaining unit seems to be working well and actually goes weeks without popping and snapping. I no longer purchase the Oreck cell cleaner, following the advice of another reviewer I now use Clorox Cleanup.



I replaced one of the failed Oreck units with a Honeywell 50250 99.97% Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier. I replaced the second failed Oreck with the Honeywell 18155 SilentComfort Permanent, True HEPA Air Purifier. They are both larger floor models that require some space, but they outperform the Oreck units in every way, and they cost less. The charcoal pre-filters cost $9.00 to $10.00 to replace and are well worth it when I see the garbage the Honeywell pulls out of the air.
