Have you tried or do you own the Oreck XL Professional Air Purifier?
Deacon Blues asked:
The infomercial only mentions the filter that the consumer takes out and rinses out but they don’t tell you about a carbon filter that has to be replaced periodically, depending upon the amount of usage and dust and other impurities removed from the air.
The cost of that unmentioned filter is $49.99 + tax & shipping & handling unless you have a local Oreck dealer that you can go to and make the purchase.
There is also a special cleanser to use when you rinse out the filter that they say only needs to be rinsed with water to clean it.
This cleanser can be purchase along with the unit or separately for $14.99 + tax + shipping & handling unless you have an Oreck dealer near you that you can go to and make the purchase.
Even with these hidden future costs the unit seems worth purchasing.
Anyone have any first hand experience with using and maintaining one of these units?

March 16, 2009 | 1:57 AMi owned 2 of them. we have a local oreck store here but i ordered them off tv as they had a special. gradually the blowers became louder and louder until after 1 yr i tossed both in the garbage. when they worked they worked well, but quiet they ain’t.
that can spray is like $6.99 at my local oreck store. yes it is all just rinse off and air dry but the inside of the unit that u can’t get to fills up with so much dust u must disassemble the unit to get that gunk out or ur just wasting ur time cleaning the filters.
all in all i have mixed feelings about the units which cost me almost $300 for the both of them…i can’t recommend them and i can’t tell u 2 look someplace else but i will say i’d never buy another one…sorry.
