Air Purifiers

06/04/2010 9:14 AM

I am looking to purchase an Oreck air purifier, but am concerned that they are way over priced and in all actuality have no benefit. Does anyone have experience with Oreck air purifiers and are they worth the price?

No direct experience with Oreck models, but I'm seeing some whole-house electrostatic filters for about the same cost as the premium Oreck. Electrostatic air filters DO work and ozone does sanitize the air. However, excessive ozone production can be unhealthy and highly corrosive. Oreck units seem to handle this correctly.

Since I have forced air HVAC, I would spend my money on one of the whole-house systems instead of a table or floor model. Suggest you shop around and do more research before plunking down your hard earned cash. You may find that an Oreck unit is still a good option for you. Good luck!
