The advanced technology of the Oreck air purifiers is the main component that has made the units so popular with the public. The five stage filtration system and all of its components have made these air purifiers one of the most effective air purifiers on the market today. The XL Professional Signature Series air purifier is one system that has become a necessity for many families who appreciate having quality indoor air. The system has the ability to remove many allergens and toxins that are present in indoor air which can cause the symptoms of respiratory conditions to occur. The complete media and filters that are used in the air purifier are safe and healthy for the air and atmosphere inside the home while doing their job of the removal of particles with ease.

The shape and design of the XL Professional Signature Series air purifiers is one of the reasons the system is so efficient. The air purifiers are small and compact, making tham easy to be placed on a desktop, surface or the floor. The system can also easily be moved from one room to another because of this small and light design. By having a flat, rectangular shape of air purifier, the company has made this system have the most effective air flow possible. The intake of the air and release of the air are easily maintained by the shape of the machine. The company kept the customer and the efficiency of the model in mind when developing the shape and design of the system.

The first step in the five stage filtration system of the XL Professional Signature Series air purifiers is the pre filter. This pre filter is designed to specifically remove large particles from the indoor air. These particles can include pet hair, large particles of dust, hair or dirt. All of these large particles may not be completely noticeable in the air inside a home but they are definitely present. Due to the effectiveness of the pre filter, many owners of the air purifiers have found there is less and less dust and dirt buildup on their furniture and surfaces. The pre filter also is a permanent filter that does not need replacement, making it easier on the consumer.

After the large particles in the air have been removed by the pre filter, the air is pushed through the electronic collector cell. This cell contains positive charging wires which give a charge to any of the smaller particles still left in the air. After all of these particles have received a charge from the charging wires, the air is pushed through the collector. This collector in these air purifiers holds the opposite charge that has been added to the particles, causing them to attract to the collector. Once all of these particles have now stuck to the collector and are no longer present in the air, the air goes through a powerful fan to be released into the air.

The XL Professional Signature Series of air purifiers also contains an air revitalizer to help the air that is released from the system. The system emits negative ions into the room's air. These negative ions are responsible for freshening any stale air that may be present in the system but may be dangerous and irritating.

The Oreck air purifiers have been measured to remove 95% of all particles in the air that are 0.01 microns in size and larger. A particle of this size is approximately one thousand times smaller than a single strand of human hair. It includes a great number of particles of dust, dirt, pet dander and mold spores which can contaminate the indoor air of homes and businesses. With the help of an Oreck air purifiers many consumers are finding how important obtaining healthy and safe indoor air can be for their home.
