Product Description
The secret to the Oreck ProShield® Air Purifier's powerful performance is Oreck's exclusive Truman Cell® filtration system. As the air circulates through it, Oreck's patented Truman Cell® electronically charges dust and allergens and pulls them out of the air like a magnet; then, the Odor Absorber Plus filter reduces common household odors leaving cleaner, fresher smelling air. The unit lays flat horizontally or on its sidse vertically and fits in tight spaces plus the Truman Cell® filter never needs replacing. The Oreck ProShield® Air Purifier cleans and re-circulates the air in an 8' x 10' room. (Based on 8' ceiling, high setting and ANSI/AHAM AC-1)

Good air purifier....BUT
By Mike
While I believe the Oreck ProShield is working well, it is, in my opinion, very noisey. It uses electrically charged plates, when the particles flow through, they are drawn to the plates. When this happens, sometimes (or quite often as I have found) it makes a electrical snap type noise. Imagine a really bad static eletricity pop. That's about what it sounds like. The owner's manual states that when this happens frequently, the "truman cell" needs to be cleaned. I have owned this now for 3 days and have cleaned it twice. There was a thin layer of dust that I assumed was making all the noise, after cleaning, the noise was gone for the most part...until about 4-6 hours later. (Note: It takes several hours to dry after cleaning.) I have this placed in my living room and have to turn it off to watch TV due to the amount of popping noises it makes (about 15-20 pops per minute) I can't imagine using it in my bedroom at night.Now on to the positive side, like I said, it seems to be working well, the dust collected is easy to see and the cabinet it is placed on is collecting dust as well. Like I said, it IS working, just very noisey. If you plan to use it only when you are not in the area/room/house, then you will have no problem at all. If, however, you plan on using it all day, every day (as I planned) and it is in an occupied room, then this is not the air purifier to get.***UPDATE:*** I returned the purifier that was making all that noise and talked myself into trying a different one (same exact model)...the new one is SOOO much quieter and is what I expected from Oreck. I have heard the snapping noise once in 4 days of constant use (this is completely acceptable) Now the only noise I hear is the rush of air from the fan, which has 3 speeds so you can adjust it to your liking. The lowest speed is barely audible from a few feet away. I will update again after a couple months of use as the allergy season is approaching (I have fairly bad allergies during the spring and fall)

No Regrets
By J. West
I bought my unit two years ago directly from Oreck and I've never had any problems with it. I live in a city that has smog problems in the winter. And some days the air is so bad I couldn't even find relief at home. This product solved the problem. I stopped coughing at night. I stopped sneezing. I stopped waking up with a sore throat.I don't know that the unit removes 99.9% of dust particles from the air as claimed. But if it removes even 75% then that's a major improvement in air quality. I definitely notice the difference.My only problem is that the old man in the commercial said that it would cut down on dust and that I would see less dust in the room. I think the reality is that the unit emits an electrostatic charge to dust particles throughout the room. Some of that dust is captured by the unit and the rest of it sticks to surfaces around the room. The electrostatic charge causes the dust to stick to surfaces rather than float in the air; which means that those particles are no longer in the air--and that's what matters. My observation is that I still see the same amount of dust on surfaces; but the air is cleaner, my breathing is easier.In this case it should be understood that the electrostatic charge is the alternative to buying expensive filters. With this product you don't have to buy filters, you just have to wash the Truman Cell once a month. The trade-off is that you will see dust on your furniture. But again, in my observation it is no worse than before I bought the unit. I save money on filters.To conclude, I have no regrets about my purchase. It does the basic job that it is supposed to do. And when this unit finally does break I plan to buy another one--unless something better comes along.

Generates ozone, bad for lungs. Must wash, clean, dry often
By TechSmart
Consumer Reports does not recommend and rate Oreck ProShield.This machine ionises air particles then captures them on electrically charged metal plates. The removable assembly of metal plates is called the Truman Cell.Problems with the Truman Cell :(1) The cell generates ozone, which is converted to oxygen by the non-removable zeolite panel behind it. This panel gets clogged with dust after 6 months and stops converting. Vacuuming does little good.Ozone accumulates inside your house, damages your lungs and can cause lung cancer. Ozone is a air pollutant reported daily by the weatherservice. It is a health hazard as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.(2) The cell must be washed with cleaner and water every 2 to 3 weeks or whenever the red light comes on. If you do not clean it, all the dirty air just pass through it without change.(3) The cell must be completely dried after cleaning for 6 hours to over-night or machine will not start. You lose use for at least 6 hours.(4) The cell captures a higher percentage of air particles with fan at lowest speed. The percentage decreases as fan speed increases.Get you a true HEPA air purifier and save time, labor.
