I, t oo, purchased the Oreck Air Purifier advertised on their infomercial. This device really does not work at all. I can run it non-stop for months and the light indicating that the machine needs to be cleaned never comes on. Close inspection reveals little dust, etc, collected. I have more dust around my computer table and on other surfaces in the small room where the machine is used than can be found in the machine itself. This product is of little to no value in my opinion. I'll never buy another Oreck product no matter what. I feel scammed.

I bought 2 purifiers from oreck based on their info-mercial they clame you never have to change another filter. When I asked the customer service rep. about the fact that as soon as you open the box there is a notice that says you should replace the filter every 3 months she told me I didn't have to replace it I could just remove it because it was just for removing odors. They don't tell you that on tv.

I was ripped off for the cost of two pieces of garbage!

I purchased an Oreck air purifier in sept of 04 and have used it continuously. There is no reduction of dust in my house and I have vertigo and broncial irritation from the use of the ionic feature. I now know from my doctor that ionic purifiers are harmful. when I called for my money back they refused saying that I had had the product for 18 mos. I have been sick for 6 mos. and sick for wasting 379.90 on a product that does not work

My vertigo started last summer and by Nov I could barly function after 2 trips to the doctor, a MD i was not better. So I went to a Naturopath and we were able to determine that ionization had irritated my membranes in my broncial tube and in my inner ear. My doctor advised me to get rid of the ionizer air purifiers.
