Best Oreck Air Purifier

The WK16002 is one of Oreck’s many console air purifiers and is part of the Air Response line of air purifiers which all vary in size and area coverage. The WK16002 is designed to cover larger areas of almost 300 sq. ft. It has a very straightforward air purification system, consisting of only a carbon filter for removing odors and a True HEPA filter for removing dust and other allergens.

The WK16002 is a high performance air purifier, being able to complete 5 air changes per hour within the suggested room size. In addition to that, the WK16002 has been given exceptional CADR ratings of 222 for smoke, dust, and pollen so that you can rest be assured that it will be able to handle all these pollutants with ease. Furthermore, its True HEPA filter is capable of removing up to 99.97% of pollutants 0.3 microns in size or larger, which means you will no longer be bothered by pet dander, pollen, dust mites, or any other allergy triggers. The WK16002 does its job fairly quiet on all 3 fan speeds and has a very useful air quality indicator which lets you know how clean the air in your room is. Aside from these features, the WK16002 also has a filter change indicator and programmable timer for added convenience to the user.

Unfortunately, the WK16002 comes with quite a hefty price tag, which is not surprising considering it’s a large room air purifier. Some might contend though that for such a price, the WK16002’s filtration system is too simplistic. In addition, Oreck’s replacement filters for this model still remain to be quite expensive. With all things considered, the WK16002 still remains to be one of Oreck’s best-selling large room air purifiers for its sheer cleaning power.

The Oreck XL Professional AIRPCB remains to be one of Oreck’s most popular air purifiers to date. The AIRPCB is an air purifier small enough to be placed on tables and shelves but is still considerably large compared to other compact air purifiers. Like most tabletop air purifiers, however, the AIRPCB is only able to cover small areas no larger than 80 sq. ft. It uses an impressive 6-stage purification system which features Oreck’s signature Truman Cell Technology.

The Truman Cell cleans the air by using its positive charging wires that release positive ions to the environment. These positive ions bind with impurities which are then collected on oppositely charged plates within the Truman Cell. Aside from the Truman Cell, the AIRPCB also has a washable permanent pre-filter, a special carbon filter, oxygenator, and an optional ionizer. With all these technologies combined, the AIRPCB is definitely a powerful tool against all types of air pollutants including ozone, which is neutralized using its oxygenator.

One of the best things about the AIRPCB is that all its filters are permanent and washable. This means that you’ll never have to spend another dime on replacement filters ever, making the AIRPCB a very economical choice. The clean filter indicator will simply let you know when it’s time to clean the filters. In terms of performance, the AIRPCB is quite impressive especially when it comes to removing odors and VOCs, which is something most air purifiers have trouble with, all thanks to its special odor-absorbing carbon filter. In addition, it does its job very silently on each of the 3 fan speeds.

However, for such performance and features, the AIRPCB doesn’t come as cheap as we would have liked. In fact, it’s quite expensive upfront for a compact air purifier, especially considering how small its room coverage is. In addition, the AIRPCB’s system isn’t sufficient to effectively remove allergens such as pollen and pet dander due to the lack of a reliable HEPA filter. Despite these disadvantages, the AIRPCB can definitely be counted on to remove airborne pollutants like dust, smoke, odors, and VOCs effectively and quietly thanks to its sophisticated and cutting-edge air purification system.

The Oreck Airvantage Plus is a small, console-type air purifier that comes in a sleek black design. Housed within this black exterior is an advanced 3-stage air purification system consisting of a carbon pre-filter, True HEPA filter, and a special VOC filter. This small device is capable of effectively cleaning the air in areas up to 118 sq. ft. in size.

The Airvantage Plus’ carbon pre-filter can take care of large debris as well as light odors, while the True HEPA filter is capable of removing 99.97% of common household allergens. The VOC filter, on the other hand, is capable of removing stubborn VOCs lingering around your home, which is something that a lot of air purifiers struggle with. Overall, the Airvantage provides you with a pretty decent system to tackle a wide array of air pollutants. Aside from its air cleaning system, it also has a filter indicator, timer, and 3 fan speeds to choose from using its remote control to make using the device a lot easier and more convenient. Thanks to Oreck’s Silence Technology, you can count on the Airvantage Plus to remain quiet and discreet even at night while you’re asleep.

Like the other two air purifiers we’ve just reviewed, the Airvantage Plus also comes at a very high price. In fact, it is more expensive than most air purifiers with twice the room coverage capacity and twice the cleaning power! In addition, its CADR ratings are not impressive, especially considering the price. Add to that the underwhelming room coverage of only 118 sq. ft., and some may question if the Airvantage Plus is really worth its price.

Overall, the Airvantage Plus is a good choice if you’re only looking to cover a small area and aren’t too bothered by the expensive price tag. It has a pretty decent cleaning system, it’s quiet, and it looks good while doing its job.

The AirInstict 200 is undoubtedly one of Oreck’s most impressive air purifiers because it uses a lot of smart technology to take the guesswork out of using it. On the outside, it features a very sleek, white exterior with a unique control panel on the corner. On the inside, it has an impressive 3-stage air purification system consisting of a pre-filter, dedicated carbon filter, and True HEPA filter. When used together, these filters provide excellent protection against a variety of air pollutants like pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, smoke, and odors.

What makes the AirInstinct 200 so great is that its filters are semi-permanent or long-lasting. On average, the carbon filter and the True HEPA filter can last up to 3 years, depending on the dirtiness of your home’s air, which makes the AirInstinct 200 a lower maintenance option compared to other air purifiers.

In addition, the AirInstinct has a fairly decent CADR rating of 160 and is able to clean the air almost 5 times an hour within the suggested room size of 248 sq. ft. It also has a lot of great features, one of which is the Automatic Particulate Sensor. This sensor detects the amount of particles present in the air and, if the device is on auto mode, will adjust the fan speed accordingly. Aside from this, it has a filter change indicator, air quality indicator, and 4 fan speeds to choose from.

Needless to say, the AirInstinct 200 is definitely a feature-packed device. Of course, such an impressive system will definitely come at a high price. Retailing at around $400, the AirInstinct 200 is definitely expensive upfront. In addition, it’s quite large and heavy, making mobility around the house a little more challenging. Overall, however, these downsides can be easily overlooked considering the cleaning power and all the features the AirInstinct 200 has. It’s sleek, it does its job effectively, and it is energy efficient.
