Oreck Air Purifiers

Victoria of Canton OH (03/27/08)
doesn't work very well. Pops and crackles even after they have been cleaned.Purchases two units after seeing the infomertial. Will never purchace another tv product or oreck product. Just felt totally ripped off and I hate myself for falling for the ad. Never again. The broom never did work.

I feel that I paid a lot of money for something that never worked well. These big companies don't stand behind their products but make them sound so good.The damages from this is financial;out money for buying the two units just because the tv ad made everything sound great. Never Again . I only want to be contacted if there's a chance to get money refunded;do not put me on any list please.

I must live in a shell. I have had two older air cleaners and I agree they have gotten nosier, but they still work. I bought a new one with the Truman cell and I love it. I do clean them once a week because my wife and I notice that after about 5-7 days we start getting stuffed up. I love them and last year we bought a new Oreck vacuum cleaner and also love it.

I bought our stuff at a store flat out and never needed to deal with anybody so I have no opinion about customer service. I do think a can of cleaner for the air cleaners are way overpriced.

If you are foolish enough to believe their free trial, ask them to explain it.  I finally got the 4 units I wanted to try and I think they are complete junk!

I had to clean them every 2 days and then they still arched. I called and they bullied me into accepting new truman cells saying that they could be defective. They said they would extend the trial period.  Well guess what I got after 2 weeks of having the units that don't work?  You got it, a bill for 1,200!!

I bought my Oreck air purifiers two years ago. At first I was happy but they started to get louder at they worked. Since they are supposed to have a three year warranty, I brought them to the store to be repaired and cleaned (because there was so much dust on the pieces you cannot get to.) They told me it would take 3 to 4 days but it took almost 3 weeks. When I finally got it back, they charged me 50 to have the items cleaned. When I asked them about it they said cleaning isn't part of the warranty. My mom has the exact same purifiers as me and brings hers in every few months and they always clean them for free. I told them this and they tried to tell me we have different purifiers. Our are exactly the same. The two times I talked to them (when I dropped them off and when I called 2 weeks later to check on them) They made it sound like the warranty covered everything. I never would have brought them in if I knew I would have to pay.

I purchased 3 Oreck Air Purifiers about 4 years ago. they are still working great, but I found that I do have to dust still. They did reduce my dusting quite a bit, and I hate dusting. And my allergies, well, combined the Oreck Air Purifiers with their hypo allergenic vacuums have really helped my allergies! I don't have to take medication for my allergies hardly at all. I would rather clean my environment than take medication. I'm always impressed when I clean my air purifiers with an all-purpose cleaner, like Simple Green, all the dirt and blackness that comes off them. I find if I clean them every 2 weeks it helps my breathing more. I love the Oreck Air Purifiers and glad I purchased them and will again when mine wear out!
