When I originally reviewed this product I gave it three stars. After using the product for over a year now I would take away two of those stars if I could. I purchased three Oreck purifiers at the same time and notice very little difference in the air quality in my home. Things I like: The "silent" mode is great for sleeping (when the unit isn't popping and snapping). The design is attractive. Things I don't like: 1) The rapid popping/snapping sound (like a bug zapper) the units make when the cell starts getting dirty. As another reviewer wrote - the rapid popping scared his poor dog so badly that it wet the floor. The noise is VERY annoying. You either clean it right away or turn it off because the snapping persists until something is done. Oreck recommends thorough cell cleaning every two weeks, but between the three units I have to do "quick cleanings" on at least one of them almost every day.

It uses a series of alternately charged collection plates to attract and lock in dirt particles like a powerful magnet. The Oreck XL Tabletop Professional Air Purifier will capture and destroy pet hair, pet dander, dust mites,dust, lint, carpet fibers, pollen, chemical fumes, tobacco and cooking smoke. It removes particles as minute as 0.1 microns, or one thousand times smaller than a single human hair. This is the same technology used to keep the air clean in the U.S. Navy's submarine fleet. What your are left with is clean, fresh, crisp smelling air. The easily cleans in just minutes with detergent and water; simply rinse, let dry and re-insert. An indicator light tells you when the filter needs cleaning. In contrast, HEPA filters only capture particles as small as 0.3 microns and can quickly clog up from the particles in the air. Once clogged, they become terribly in efficient and the filters need to be replaced. HEPA filters also tend to hold moisture in, which actually breeds mold and releases it back into the room. No need to buy expensive replacement filters time and time again-- it lasts a lifetime and never needs to be replaced. And it's as economical to run continuously as an ordinary light bulb. The money you save means the Oreck unit virtually pays for itself. Dont BUY this! I didnt buy this from Amazon, I bought it directly from Oreck about 3 yrs ago. The main reason why I think you should not buy this is because of the trouble cleaning it. It is practically impossible to get it clean of tar. I bought this primarily to clean the air of cigarette smoke. The late night commercials I saw before purchasing this showed people just rinsing it under water and they were done. WOW I wish! I paid full price a few years ago ( I think I actually paid 500$ and was supposed to get a free small vac with it, I never received the Vac). I have tried just about every thing to clean the tar out of the collector cell, for example bathroom cleaners of all sorts, laundry detergent, oven cleaner, degreaser. I have tried soaking the cell all day in hot water and with full strength cleaning products, and even tried washing the cell in the dishwasher, but nothing works very well. And you cant use a cloth to clean between the fin's of the collector cell because of some hair thin...
