Oreck offers many different types of products from vacuums to air purifiers. Their air cleaners are probably their most prominent item on the market today due to the high air pollution that many people suffer from on a daily basis; from allergies to asthma.
In the UK alone there is an average of about ten million people who suffer from asthma and even more that suffer from air borne allergies. During cold and flu season, the air that is breathed in is filled with hundreds of air borne germs which have the potential to make us sick. And if that's not enough, on a daily basis we breathe in very large quantities of polluted air that resides right in our own homes.
Studies have shown that if you are using an air purifier in your home, you tend to sleep better and are more vibrant in the morning when you wake up. Air cleaners are designed to remove the pet dander, dust, pollen, allergens, and some air purifiers can pull the tobacco smoke out of the air.

The Technology of Oreck Air Purifiers
The Oreck Air purifiers are designed with an electrostatic ionization that filters out tiny air borne particles as well as larger ones such as lint, hair, and tobacco smoke. The particles are attracted to the statically charged collector plates. The electrostatically charged collectors plates can simply be washed off when it is time to clean them and once dried can be placed back into the air purifier to continue purifying your home.
Not only do the Oreck air purifiers include the electrostatically charged collector's plates, but they also includes a charcoal filter that helps to remove the foul odors that sometimes fill your home either from a pet or maybe some extreme smelling food that you are cooking. This filter must be replaced with a new one every two or three months to keep working properly.
The Oreck air purifiers have been known to be much cheaper electricity wise to run than if you were to run an air purifier that uses HEPA filter technology. It takes a lot less energy to push air through the Oreck filter system which also makes the system much quieter than other brands on the market.
